Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Lohana. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 their 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Lohana shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi. User:Sitush is right that Wikipedia does not use ancient primary documents as sources. Please read the policy Wikipedia:Reliable sources to learn about our sourcing policies. Caste articles are very sensitive, and it's extremely important to follow Wikipedia's sourcing policies on them. Users who do not do so risk being blocked from editing. Reliable academic secondary sources are the best for caste articles, and primary sources are right out. We also don't use historians from the Raj era, as they are not regarded as reliable. Please see this discussion. Bishonen | tålk 13:45, 5 July 2020 (UTC).

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. RexxS (talk) 13:57, 5 July 2020 (UTC)- I have unblocked, as it looks to me you were trying to do the right thing by discussing on Sitush's page, and explaining yourself here. Bishonen | tålk 14:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC).
