Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 11:47, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Warning about edit warring at Emperor of India
I'm coming here from this ANEW report, where you have been reported for edit-warring. Though you did self-revert your fourth revert, you then made a fifth revert about 25 hours after your first revert, which though technically isn't within 24 hours is still edit-warring and falls within the purview of WP:3RR: Fourth reverts just outside the 24-hour period will usually also be considered edit-warring, especially if repeated or combined with other edit-warring behavior. I did not block you for this series of reverts, because I hope that with this understanding of what constitutes a revert that you will cease reverting and use the talk page and get a clear consensus for any changes rather than edit warring.

Please take this as a warning that your edit warring on the article Emperor of India is inappropriate and that if it continues, a block or other restrictions (including contentious topic restrictions such as a 1RR rule) will very likely follow. Per your comment at WP:ANEW you are now fully aware of what edit-warring and 3RR are, and should avoid further edit warring. Please pay particular attention to the section of WP:3RR that states Even without a 3RR violation, an administrator may still act if they believe a user's behavior constitutes edit warring, and any user may report edit warring with or without 3RR being breached. The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times. - Aoidh (talk) 08:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot @Aoidh. I'll never edit war again and will always try to resolve it through talk page discussions. Thanks a lot.


 * Also could you please have a look at Royal Indian Navy, please? I made an edit but it was reverted by an editor Job Chodh Du, after which I opened a discussion – Talk:Royal Indian Navy and pinged him but there was no reply. I reverted his revert stating the reason I stated in the talk page, but the user proceeded to revert again. I replied to my own comment in the discussion, pinging him again, but there has been no reply. I do not want to edit war. What do I do? I've only done one revert. He is not participating in the discussion. Thanks a lot again. PadFoot2008 (talk) 08:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I see from the tags on their edits that they are editing using a mobile device, so they may or may not have gotten the ping. I have left a message on their user talk page asking them to participate in the discussion. - Aoidh (talk) 09:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Aoidh, it's been 48 hours and Job Chodh Du has still not replied, neither on their user talk page nor on the talk page of Royal Indian Navy. What do I do now? Does there exist a Wikipedia guideline regarding this? PadFoot2008 (talk) 02:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * What I would personally do in this instance, is wait another day or so to see if maybe they were just away for the weekend and unable to respond, and if no response is forthcoming, make your edit and in the edit summary say something along the lines of "making this change per the discussion I started on the talk page, if there is still disagreement on this matter please use the talk page so that a WP:CONSENSUS can be reached" and go from there. Judging from the edit summaries they are at least seeing and responding to your edit summaries, so that's what I would suggest. I see that they did engage in discussion at Talk:Indian Army, and if this disagreement is a theme across several related articles it might help to leave a neutrally worded message at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics as described at Dispute resolution (the noticeboard I linked is the talk page for WikiProject India). - Aoidh (talk) 04:58, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * All right. Thanks for your advice. That's what I am going to do then. I think I'm going to wait till tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and then if they don't reply I'll make the edit and leave a summary as you said. Thanks. PadFoot2008 (talk) 05:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
