Edit-warring
SD, I would suggest you read up on the definition of edit-warring; repeatedly reverting or changing another editor or editors' contributions is edit-warring, regardless of precisely what you are doing (there a couple of exceptions, none applicable here). Taking it to the talk page was the right thing to do, and I am glad you did that, just do it sooner in the future. Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:13, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sdmarathe, you made four reverts which is more than edit-warring, I'll say. You are lucky that nobody reported you to WP:AN3 which would have resulted in your being blocked.
 * Also, do not remove others' messages to your talk-pages. It creates poor impression about you. I hope you will become a good editor on Wikipedia if you just take little time to read our policies and take care to follow them. Happy editing. - Ascetic Rosé   16:52, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * thank you both. yes I have taken note of your feedback. Regards! --Sdmarathe (talk) 18:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I strongly suggest you read on on the definitions of vandalism, and on the regulations of anonymous editing. You should not revert an edit because it was made by an IP, nor should you demand that they create an account before discussing it with them. If you have reasonable suspicion that they are an IP, even then, reporting them is the right thing to do, not simply stonewalling. Also, the IP in question was violating the RS policy, but was not engaging in vandalism; please be careful about the distinction, else you are liable to find yourself at AE. I also suggest that you read WP:ARBIPA and familiarize yourself with the restrictions. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:21, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Vanamonde93 - It appeared to me that the IP was engaged in reverts removing established templates that had been accepted previously and was violating RS policy - and I interpreted that as WP:van. I will take your advice into account in identifying the distinction. thank you! --Sdmarathe (talk) 22:35, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Sdmarathe. It wasn't clear to begin with but eventually it was clear that the IP was disrupting. --AmritasyaPutra T 19:06, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at 2002 Gujarat riots. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Regional Powers
May I ask why Pakistan is not a regional power is south Asia although all sources are properly cited? Pakistan meets every requirement to be in the list and you have been abusing your powers just to keep Pakistan out of the list.

Usman47 (talk) 05:45, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * None of the citations list Pakistan as regional power. the second source mentions it as mid power contention - but that is ranked 29th on the list right next to Algeria - that would not qualify for being regional power. None of the sources actually cites Pakistan as regional power to my knowledge. I could not see details on 3rd citation. Can you please provide the details on that? Oh and by the way I only made 1 edit on this page, so I can not be qualified as abusing my powers !! Sdmarathe (talk) 05:56, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

In your opinion how does a country classify as a regional power? You see Iran on the list don't you? Please tell me they are better than Pakistan in any way but they are considered a regional power in there own region. Regional power means countries who possess influence in the region and can get things done. Pakistan possess enough influence that no one can ignore Pakistan militarily, economically or politically. A common example of this is the US. When do they say that Pakistan can be ignored? It's just common sense really. You name me one country that can ignore Pakistan in south Asia. Further more below are some more citations just for clarification sake.

Inquiry
Please clarify your statement regarding this (where is the talk page consensus?). – Batreeq ( Talk ) (Contribs) 00:39, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The article was a redirect stub - and redirected to another, bigger article. The information that you added is already part of that bigger page. HenceI asked if you had a talk page consensus to a) actually expand this stub page into an article b) add details that were already present in the redirect . . Sdmarathe (talk) 04:11, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Please see the last section on talk page, consensus was to redirect. thanks! Sdmarathe (talk) 00:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
