January 2017 edit

  Hello, I'm Joshua Jonathan. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Indo-Aryan migration theory that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. diff. See also WP:NOTHERE and User talk:Bishonen‎#AE-request. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 12:50, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

WP:NPA edit

It's outrageous to compare Joshua Jonathan's work to Mein Kampf.[1] Do something like that again and you will be blocked from editing. Your suggestion that Kautilya may be "affected by a post-colonization inferiority complex" is also completely inappropriate. Altogether, please comment on the edit, not the editor. I notice you have also previously persistently referred to the (assumed by you) ethnic or religious motivations of other editors, for instance here: "it seems like another project by a caucasian Indologist". Or with regard to the problems you perceived at Hindu–Islamic relations: "The passages are clearly written by a (well-intentioned) Muslim ... It would seem that the purpose of this article is to mainly paint a rosy picture of Islam". To put it crudely, other editors' ethnic identity or religion is none of your business. Please don't comment on it again. Bishonen | talk 14:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC).Reply
