Stop edit warring

Per WP:BRD, you need to go to Talk:Shakya and start a discussion to get consensus to restore the material you've been trying to add.

You also need to cite professionally-published mainstream academic sources for all your changes, and be complete in your citations. For example, you keep listing Hinduism as the religion of the Shakyas, even though most academics regard Hinduism as a later growth of the Vedic religion. Also, you only cite "P. 16 The Buddhist Forum edited by Tadeusz Skorupski," but there's multiple volumes of The Buddhist Forum. You also cited the Vinaya Pitaka, which is a primary source that needs a secondary or tertiary academic source to support your interpretation of the primary source.

Did you just not read the above message or do you not care? Ian.thomson (talk) 20:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Shakya 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—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—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Shakya. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  — Martin (MSGJ ·  talk) 22:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
