"Ranks and decorations" edit conflict in Sam Manekshaw webpage
Hello User:Matarisvan It has been observed that you have spent considerable time editing the Wikipedia webpage on Sam Manekshaw. In particular, you have chosen to remove the "Dates of Rank" and "Awards and decorations" subsection from the webpage. Kindly remember, the subject person is from the military, thus making the promotions he received and the awards he was conferred upon a part of his history, in a professional context.

For reference, look up to the Wikipedia pages of other military officer, particularly field marshals - like K.M. Cariappa, Sarath Fonseka, Ayub Khan, etc...This is a public webpage, and both his ranks and decorations are public attations to his prowess as a military officer. Do not make edits just because you like to.

Yours sincerely. Silver Pavilion (talk) 13:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Disruptive editing
Don't call vandalism a "vandalism". You are violating WP:NPA.

You need to stop edit warring at J. Sai Deepak. Whitewashing will not work. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 09:54, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

February 2024
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on J. Sai Deepak. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 09:14, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * Hi, it was not my intention to engage in edit warring, but the constant vandalism by the user @Abhishek0831996 forced me to do so. I have asked for a third opinion at Third opinion, but haven't received one yet. Matarisvan (talk) 09:57, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * This comment is a little concerning. As you stated you do not wish to discuss with me I would instead suggest you take it up at ANI if you feel I am out of line. You started a RfC to get consensus and once that is complete we will hopefully have it. Until then, the WP:ONUS is still on you. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:44, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Your WikiCup submission: Peer review/Fountain Fire/archive1
Hi Matarisvan, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Peer review/Fountain Fire/archive1 for PR points in the WikiCup, but you do not seem to have conducted your review yet. As per WikiCup/Scoring, you may claim points when your review is finished. If you haven't completed your review by 27 February, unfortunately this would not be eligible for points. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I will post my comments there soon. My apologies for the hastiness in updating the submissions before getting the PR done. Matarisvan (talk) 04:29, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

April 2024
Hello, I'm MuffinHunter0. I noticed that you recently removed content from Nirbhay without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 18:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Please use your sandbox before doing massive deletion of content next time. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 18:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I had made some grammatical edits but there was an edit conflict as someone had made changes to the article before I could publish. I copied my text and put it into the text box, but because I was editing on a mobile device, only a few lines of my text got copied. I hit publish before reviewing as I thought all the text had been pasted, but the mobile clipboard could hold only a few lines. I will be sure to not try to resolve edit conflicts on mobile devices from now on, thank you. Matarisvan (talk) 18:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good! Guess my warning was a mistake. Please continue improving the quality of the page. Muffin(Spreading Democracy, one edit at a time) 18:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

FAC
Hi. I understand your frustration with the WP:FAC process, but I don't think saying your reviewers have acted in bad faith is a productive way forward. RoySmith (talk) 14:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I don't have any frustrations with the FAC process, nor with all reviewers, just the particular one, who has gone to great lengths to derail my nominations for that article. Matarisvan (talk) 14:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Dude stop digging your hole deeper. Who on Earth do you think will be interested in reviewing any of your FACs if instead of pointing out possible mistakes in the reviews you start flinging accusations of racism and personal animosity? Your best course of action would be to apologise to SchroCat and mean it. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ( talk to me!/my edits ) 03:05, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you had read my comments fully then you would know I focused more on pointing out mistakes in the review than these so called accusations. That reviewer did not address any of my points, just bemoaned their actual modus operandi being revealed, which is what they did at the last two peer reviews and FACs. Anyways, I will not put up any of my work for FA or FL candidacy until the coordinators are from this cabal. Matarisvan (talk) 03:55, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter if your personal attack was posted with ten other points or if it was there as is. It's still a personal attack. This is not Instagram or YouTube, it is in your best interest to stop arguing. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI ( talk to me!/my edits ) 07:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Matarisvan, how goes it? In the PRG you did for the Regency article, you left a comment "The Igawawen flag on the article and here are very different, consider using the former?". There seems to be some confusion about what it exactly means? Was there a Igawawen flag in the article. Both Nour and myself can't fathom the comment.  scope_creep Talk  12:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, in this edit to Galatian War you use, but there is no work "Hall 1959" listed. I suspect, from the rest of the edit, you meant to use "Bean 1959", or possibly "Hall 1986". If you could fix this that would be appreciated. DuncanHill (talk) 10:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Many thanks @AirshipJungleman29! To answer your question if I am still planning to work on the 3 GA reassessments I was working on, I indeed plan to do so. However, the timeline will be a little delayed because I'm working on 2 A class reassessments, these 3 + 1, and an FA reassessment. Also, do you think I could put up this article for FA review? Matarisvan (talk) 13:54, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
