Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Questionable source
Hello Nikhil.joshi.d. With this edit you added a copy of a diagram located on Google Drive. This has to qualify as Self published. See WP:Reliable source for what Wikipedia's sourcing requirements are. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:16, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree but the diagram isn't of my own making, if you want I can send forward the contact of the prof. McDonald who is running that project, you can confirm it from him. Moreover autosomal analysis is only a part of the comment.

The major news/information part was the founding of R1b* DNA on a Madhyandin Brahman, and H* on mtDna, and that is public information from a public sample. I am not sure why there should be any objections for that ? Nikhil.joshi.d (talk) 20:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It has been pointed out to you that editors don't like genetic analysis in individual caste articles. Not only do you want to add such analysis, but you also don't understand that linking to a self-published project is unacceptable. If you can't figure out how to deal with our rules, admins have the ability to ban you from caste articles. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 20:25, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know who told you that I was putting links on "self published" projects. Whoever did that is the person you should think hard about if they are being given admin rights. The link I mentioned is : https://www.familytreedna.com/public/R1bBasalSubclades?iframe=yresults This link is MOST DEFINITELY NOT SELF PUBLISHED PROJECT.
 * I am going to make a few more changes to that article, and I have added this request in the Talk section. If you look at how things unfold there, I am pretty sure you'd know that atleast one of the admins/editors? of that page is having some type of agenda.

Fake edit summaries
Fake edit summaries such as this are going to land you in a lot of bother. You are already aware of the sanctions regime that exists for articles of this type, being notified last June. Am I really going to have to issue the same notice again on the exact anniversary just to ensure that you cannot continue your long-standing, if intermittent, disruption? - Sitush (talk) 17:50, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Sitush What exactly is fake about it ?


 * Thats it I am going to moderators. There is nothing fake about saying that Deshasthas are not the same ethnic people as andhrapradesh brahmins, or madhawa brahmans. And it was definitely an unsourced article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhil.joshi.d (talk • contribs) 20:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * You said it was unsourced when in fact the first few sentences of the paragraph you removed certainly did have sources. - Sitush (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * SitushThe only sources it has are articles to Madhwa Brahmans and Smartha Brahman. How is that a "reference" ? Infact one of the posters very craftily attaches the word "Deshastha" in front of Madhawa brahmans, and calls them "Deshastha Madhawa Brahmans" when there is no such caste in existance. --Nikhil.joshi.d (talk) 18:29, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Deshastha Brahmin shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Sitush (talk) 03:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Sure lets go to moderators, I have enough evidences of your crafty agenda driven behavior.--Nikhil.joshi.d (talk) 03:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No, you do not understand. You have already exceeded 3RR and you have done so despite discussions & apparent presence of sources. Unless you revert then you will be sanctioned. It is not negotiable. - Sitush (talk) 03:43, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Notice that you are now subject to a community enforced topic ban

 * This is a violation of your topic ban, any further violations will be met with blocks. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:54, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for 2nd topic ban violation under WP:GS/Caste. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  04:02, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No I don't think I modified any article after the ban ? I did modify talk page of the article though, since that is what the post says I should do ? --Nikhil.joshi.d (talk) 06:24, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No, the message says that you are topic banned from all namespaces. You basically cannot write anything anywhere about caste/social groups etc of South Asia unless and until the topic ban is lifted, and that includes article talk pages and user talk pages (including this one). You were warned that you had breached the ban by editing Talk:Deshastha Brahmin and that if you did so again then you would be blocked. You then did it again and were indeed blocked. - Sitush (talk) 07:55, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for 3nd topic ban violation under WP:GS/Caste, continuing the same behavior here after you were repeatedly informed that the ban applies everywhere, if you continue this behavior after your block expires then your next block will be indefinite. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. In addition, your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then submit a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 04:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 05:04, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for 4th tban violation here, right after prior block expired. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  02:55, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 months for Continued violation of tobic ban during your block, using IP socks, as you did at Deshastha Brahmin. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If this behavior continues then your next block will be indefinite. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  07:37, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
 * (talk) Why do you lie ? I did not use any ip socks or anything like that. Do you have any linkage, any info ? Or are you merely using your supposedly "third party" sense of administration here ? Your are very clearly pals with the other guy Sitahush or whatever his name was, who seems to send to you a hit list of people he wants banned.
