Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. -- Wikidās ॐ

Again
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Wikidās ॐ 22:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Wikidās ॐ 21:04, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

JSN
Jai Swaminarayan,

Im a satsangi wikipedian. Iv noticed that you have been edting various Swaminarayan-related pages on wiki recently. Your input is welcome - however please note that this place has certain rules that we have got to follow. You may not like the BAPS section on the Swaminarayan page, but as it is from NPOV, it has to remain. Further, we must not use titles such as his Holiness for Acharyas, must not use Bhagwan Shree Swaminarayan but use Swaminarayan, not use Original Swaminarayan Sampraday but use Swaminarayan Sampraday - as all that is POV. It may sound wierd but thats the way it is. Also, words such as magnificent, glorious etc. also are a strict NO. I along with other satsangi wikipedians and others have strived to clean our articles of this stuff, as if people come across such stuff they are more likely to delete it rather than clean it. Further, any major changes must first be discussed on the talk page of tht article. Please DO NOT take pictures from other websites and put them up here as its illegal - some of the pictures you put up had Swaminarayan.info embossed on them. Lastly, you may want to have a look at this -. Happy editing, Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 22:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Lalbal (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC) Jai Swaminarayan,

Thank you for pointing out the process to follow. Granted there was an issue with 1 image, the remaining images pertain to the page and should be reinstated. As for the POV issue, BAPS-Maninagar-etc was set under Others for NPOV. The Original Swaminarayan Sampraday, titles of Bhagwan, and Acharya are facts and is a [NPOV]] which should be reinstated.

JSN,

Well you may discuss the BAPS-Maninagar thing on the Swaminarayan talk page - and make the edit only AFTER a concensus is evolved. The name of our sampraday is Swaminarayan Sampraday and not Original Swaminarayan Sampraday (original is our POV), the Acharyas are his holiness for us (note the article of Pope of Rome therefore has no mention of the title of his holiness), and Bhagwan Swaminarayan is Bhagwan for us, may not be for everyone( even Bhagwan Shri Krishna and Bhagwan Shri Rama are reffered to as Krishna and Rama here). We have been though this a lot before and other editors threatened to delete a lot of content (and did so too) from our pages, in some cases full pages. It was then that we started removing all this from Swaminarayan pages. Please stick to these rules. BTW, a user User: Juthani1 is setting up a Swaminarayan Workgroup on Wikipedia - if you would like to be part of it, please contact him on his talk page - if you have anything further to say, please leave a message on my talk page and I will revert to you here.

Thanks, Around The Globe सत्यमेव जयते 17:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think there is a lot to learn about consensus here, and I give good faith to Lalbal, he can be potentially a great contributor to the pages. But the learning curve and desire to cooperate could be an obstacle. Rules and attitude of consensus is probably the key. shun tame gujarati boli shako? Maybe then use more localized versions of Wiki first or learn from experienced editors, just as we do. Wikidās ॐ 18:03, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Appreciate feedback from both of you and agree with universal representation of facts. Let's work together on enhancing the page with further detail.

You have been blocked from editing for in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below.

God Cat
JSN, As ur aware, the Swaminarayan article no longer has the Hindu God Category - having been removed by people who believe he is not a Universal hindu god. Iv made a formal suggestion for a Regional Hindu God cat to b made for Swaminarayan and 14 other Hindu gods, which are in the Hindu God cat, but are more regional in nature. Your help is required to get the suggestion passed - PLEASE SUPPORT THE SUGGESTION on the Swaminarayan talk page. Thanks, Around The Globe सत्यमेव जयते 14:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lalbal. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lalbal~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:16, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
