"Status quo"[edit]

Please don't revert me again using this excuse. I was the editor who brought the issue up on the talk page, and I now agree with the editor who removed the material, so consensus is now for removal. Also, there are rules about automated translation, and I don't think you are following them. When you use automated translations, you are required to know enough about the subject to correct erroneous translations, and it seems from your comments on the talk page that you don't!

If you don't self-revert your last revert, I'll take you to WP:ANI for misuse of automated translation. Skyerise (talk) 03:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are also violating WP:SUMMARYSTYLE: when there is a main article link at the top of the section, the summary should be no longer than the lead of that main article, and leads are restricted to four paragraphs. You are being abusive and need to self-revert now. Skyerise (talk) 03:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. You can't win an edit war against two other editors. That's why 2 to 1 wins the consensus. Skyerise (talk) 03:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May 2024[edit]

Your recent editing history at Eastern esotericism 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; read about 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.

ANI notice[edit]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 03:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing[edit]

I see you are attempting to canvass multiple editors. You do know that's not really kosher, don't you? Here's the canned warning:

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.
