edit

  Hello, I'm Maylingoed. I noticed that in this edit to Mahesh Desai, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!)

  Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Mahesh Desai. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!) (See what else I did on Wikipedia!!📜) 02:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Mahesh Desai, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not blank pages ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!) (See what else I did on Wikipedia!!📜) 02:33, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Mahesh Desai. ~~mAyLiNgOeEd (Talk to me!)

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Mahesh Desai. Geardona (talk) 02:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent further disruptive removal of material, as you did at Mahesh Desai.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Aoidh (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
