Hello! I'm Vif12vf. Your recent edit(s) to the page Deccan States Agency appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. The term "Indian Empire" is a false term that should not be used for the British Raj.

 * No, literally, what do you mean? Princely States were never a part of British India. This is such a basic thing I'd expect ever Wikipedian who regularly edit Indian articles to know. I respect your concern regarding unconstructive edits, but I can assure you that it's not an unconstructive edit, which you'd come to know if you were to research just a bit of modern Indian History. I agree with you on the fact that Indian Empire shouldn't be used for British Raj. British Raj refers to the Crown rule over India between 1858 to 1947 itself or the period, while Indian Empire is a term mentioned in the Imperial Gazetteer of India used to refer to territorial extent of India during this time. Almost all Government maps during the period label it as such.
 * Again I'd request you to please go through Indian history PadFoot2008 (talk) 14:41, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dir (princely state). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:34, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * Princely States weren't a part of British India. If you still aren't ready to accept that, then I'm gonna put some citations as well.
 * Dir was a Princely State and princely states were not a part of British India according to the Interpretation Act 1889:
 * (4.) The expression "British India" shall mean all territories and places within Her Majesty's dominions which are for the time being governed by Her Majesty through the Governor-General of India or through any governor or other officer subordinates to the Governor-General of India.


 * (5.) The expression "India" shall mean British India together with any territories of any native prince or chief under the suzerainty of Her Majesty exercised through the Governor-General of India, or through any governor or other officer subordinates to the Governor-General of India.[￼ PadFoot2008 (talk) 14:46, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Baluchistan Agency, you may be blocked from editing. Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 14:36, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

 * You don't need to tell me the definition of British Raj.
 * It referred a period and
 * "Hence began the period known as the British Raj, which ended in 1947"
 * the Crown rule itself.
 * "Between 1858, when the British East India Company transferred power to British Crown rule (the "British Raj"), and 1947"
 * You haven't been able to provide any sources explicitly stating that it was the name of the state itself. Please also go through the Imperial Gazetteer of India and the various acts passed by the UK parliament.
 * Also why are you reverting all my edits to every page I've edited? Would you like someone else to blindly revert all your edits without even stating a reason? Until and unless you state a reason for reverting all my edits without any reason, I'm going to revert back all my edits.

 * Your attempt to have the name changed from British Raj was rejected back in Summer, however I see you are still changing its name in various articles. That is disruptive. See WP:COMMONNAME and WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. If you're dissatisfied with the name of x article, make a move request/discussion in said article. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:49, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Holy moly, A LOT of your recent edits have been reverted. Actually the vast majority of your edits from this Summer seems to be have been reverted. And they mostly seem to have to do with terminology. In that case I'll be more blunt and harsh; Continue and you will be reported to WP:ANI, it can't be right that our users have to spend that much time on you. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Com'on it's not my fault. I'm even providing sources. I think Vif12vf has taken my edits too personally. I'm just trying to make the encyclopedia more accurate. And you need sources to do that. Which I am providing. And also which Vif12vf doesn't care to provide. In fact, many don't care to provide. PadFoot2008 (talk) 07:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Indian princely states. — DaxServer (t · m · c) 06:59, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
