Unexplained reverts
Hello Calmly Trying! I noticed you had reverted two articles to a previous version (Special:Diff/1334286085 and Special:Diff/1334285922) and deleted sourced content in a table (Special:Diff/1334285199), without giving an edit summary or adding commentary on the talk page. One of these appears to be reverting to your own last contribution . For reverting such a large number of edits, a good reason should be given. I am not saying there isn't one, but for reverts in particular, rejecting another editor's work entirely without providing a justification or having an obvious reason is not good form (You can see WP:REVEXP for more about the thought process behind this). I have reverted your edits to these three pages. I welcome you to redo them, with a detailed edit summary or talk page message to accompany them. IndigoManedWolf (talk) 19:30, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- For the first two edits, a single user added information to both the articles without providing reliable citations. As for the third edit a simple Google search will show you that there was no 11th Sikh guru and that the holy book is the eternal Guru. Calmly Trying (talk) 07:35, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Alright, that makes sense for the first two. If you want to redo your edits, I don't have an issue broadly but I do have two things that you should do:
- Write an edit summary explaining your reasoning, and since these edits are directly undoing another (involved) editor's work, leave a message on the talk page so they can respond there.
- Consider doing a partial revert, seeing if there are any pieces of the added content that can be left unchanged or edited instead of removed.
- For the third one (Sikh gurus) I think you may want to open a discussion on the talk page and/or consider editing it in a different way. From what I can see, while that "11th guru" isn't considered the 11th today, the addition from the other user had some notes about it that made it seem like something that historically had meaning. Perhaps including it without giving it a number, or removing it from the table but adding a note about it in the text outside of the table would be a good idea.

- @Calmly Trying - Ample reliable sources are given regarding the guru-ship of the Khalsa in the article, a concept known as 'Guru Panth'. The article further goes into detail into why this form of guruship is not evoked in the present-era as much as the Guru Granth, although it is still legitimate. It is also referenced in the SGPC's Sikh Rehat Maryada. Quote: "The Guru Panth (Panth’s status of Guruhood) means the whole body of committed baptized Sikhs. This body was fostered by all the ten Gurus and the tenth Guru gave it its final shape and invested it with Guruhood"

- I completely understand your point but as I said above there was no 11th Guru but an eternal one (the Panth and the Granth). I meant that putting numbers 11 and 12 would not be correct as it implies that one came before the other. Calmly Trying (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Calmly Trying - One did come before the other, though. The Khalsa Panth had been established in 1699, which had embodied the Guru Panth, whilst the Guru Granth Sahib was given the mantle of guruship in 1708. MaplesyrupSushi (talk) 20:12, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Saregama. When removing a maintenance template, please either ensure that the problem that the template refers to has been resolved, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as this change has been reverted. Take a look at getting started to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. CNMall41 (talk) 20:55, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Virbhadra Singh when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:20, 15 May 2026 (UTC)
Did you miss the disclaimer reading "Note: Friday and Saturday's numbers missing "? I can't update if the tool doesn't have the data! igordebraga ≠ 17:00, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
