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; 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).

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 10:41, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I'm about to block you
Unless you stop changing Dravidian to Tamil. Not only have you not justified your edits, you are changing sourced material to add material that's incorrect. Doug Weller talk 10:42, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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:.

A couple of things. Firstly, no, if other people disagree with your changes and revert them, the requirement is that *you* start a discussion and seek consensus (and do not reinstate your changes unless and until you achieve that consensus), not that other has to start a discussion if they disagree. The onus is always on those wanting to make contested changes to seek the consensus. Secondly, neither your personal assertion about the term "Dravidian" nor your personal reasoning about the terminology of the architecture is of any relevance. Wikipedia goes on what can be verified by reliable sources (you did read WP:V and WP:RS, didn't you?). If the sources don't say what you assert to be the truth, we can only go with the sources. If reliable sources say there's an architectural style known as Dravidian and assigns it to various structures, that's what Wikipedia says too. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:10, 26 February 2019 (UTC) As an aside, I've had a think about your "How can a temple that was built way before by a Tamil king be termed as Dravidian architecture?" thing. While I know nothing about the origin of the word "Dravidian", modern people invent new terms for old things all the time. In English, for example, we have different modern words to denote different periods of classical Greek architecture - but they weren't words used by the ancient Greeks, and the architecture itself predates the terminology. If we look at our Dravidian architecture article, it explains it's a term used to denote a style of architecture that originated across the southern Indian states, and not a specific state of origin. If that's the current term used in academia to describe that style of architecture, then that's what Wikipedia uses. It may be true that a specific temple was built before the term "Dravidian" was in use (just as classical Greek architecture was erected before the modern words were in use), and it may also be true that the temple was built in Tamil Nadu by Tamil people under the rule of a Tamil king. But that does not establish an architectural style called Tamil. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:34, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
