Sri Vikrama Rajasinha article - Edit Conflict[edit]

There seems to be an unconstructive edit war over the name of this article. I think it's time the matter was resolved by an administrator. The article was previously entitled, "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha of Kandy". "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha" was the most common name by which the last king was known as per both Sri Lankan and European records, a perusal of books on the Kanydan period will confirm this. Yes, "Sri" is an honorific prefix, but it is also the most common name by which he was known. The prefix "Mother" appears in the wikipedia entry on "Mother Teresa", this is in accordance with MOS:HONORIFIC: "Where an honorific is so commonly attached to a name that the name is rarely found without it, it should be included".

Secondly, Tamilian101 has been attempting to add "Prince Kannusamy" to the king's name. Pre-coronation titles should appear in the content of the article, but certainly not in the title of the article. Addressing a king by the lower title, "prince", is incorrect and disrespectful. It lowers the king's status to that of a "prince", if you respect him or even his position as the last king of Ceylon, then please stop continually degrading his name. The article on Queen Elizabeth does have "Princess Elizabeth" appended the the article's title for this reason. Regardless of your politics, historical revisionism is unhelpful. Prince Kannusamy Nayaka, a member of the Madurai royal family, chose the name "Sri Vikrama Rajasinha" upon his coronation (aged 18), and that is the most common name by which he was known throughout his life.

This is an important article on one of the most interesting periods of Sri Lankan history, so please let's work together to make it more informative an accessible without quibbling over unconstructive modifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.143.123 (talk) 06:18, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, adding the name of the king in three separate languages on the English Language version of wikipedia clutters up the page with information that it largely uninformative for the vast majority of readers. It should be noted that Sri Lanka's inhabitants at the time also included Burghers and Moors (who spoke Dutch and Arabic among other languages), listing his names in all these languages is unnecessary clutter. This is why Queen Elizabeth's name does not appear in Welsh, Gaelic or any other language on the wikipedia entry, because it is uninformative on an English language encyclopedia and adds unnecessary clutter.124.170.47.97 (talk) 05:17, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tamil was the original language of the king, and Sinhala may have been the language he used significantly during the reign of the kingdom. Lastly telugu is his origin, however you may erase these but please don't erase anything else that is needed for the article.(Tamilan101 (talk) 05:21, 22 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]

WANTED![edit]

Hi. Please stop your fanatic reverts in the Wanted page. The writer is credited, so it is a remake of the Telugu film and remember to summarize your edits. Secret of success ^{Talk to me} 06:55, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite your references to your claim.(Tamilan101 (talk) 03:38, 26 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

I have added a reference. But I have filed a case against you because of unexplained revert warring. You did not provide a source for your claim, one that was not needed for this kind of statement. I have given a reason, it is a remake of the Telugu film because the original writer is credited. That is how you do for every film!!! Anyway, the case can be found [1]. Participate if you want to justify your actions with a valid reason. Secret of success ^{Talk to me} 14:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wanted (2009 film). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

At some point an admin had warned you as potentially disruptive editor diff, but since then you have occasionally comes to wikipedia and added potentially racially motivated edits such as introducing POV terms, removing cited material here and here.

By the way Sinhala-Brahmi used a lot of Tamil Brahmi signs and inscriptions and had a a lot of Tamil words per Prof A. Vellupillai see here. You by removing the connection between them is actually betraying a Mahavamsa mindset that prevents us from writing factually. So please refrain from unhelpful edits and contribute to the betterment of knowledge. Kanatonian (talk) 03:05, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bodhidarma7[edit]

He's continously adding his personal opinions to the articles. --MThekkumthala (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have been watching him very closely and his edits. He is trying to write the articles in POV propaganda. (Tamilan101 (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]

I have warned him because of 3rr. If he ignores it, we can block him at the 3rr noticebord. --MThekkumthala (talk) 08:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All 3 of you are edit warring. 3RR is just one definition of an edit war. All of you could end up being blocked from editing if you continue to edit by reverts and deletions without using the article talk pages. Please go through the steps of explaining yourselves, and avoid making yourselves look like edit warriors. It is clear you disagree with Bodhidarma7 on many things but you have to be able to work with people who do not agree with you.

The Five Dravidians[edit]

I don't know what your logic is behind your edits towards The Five Dravidians, and I don't know why you seem don't like the use of South India, but I will ask you one more time if you are to make any edits, constructive of not, please give a summary as to why you have done that otherwise it just seems as vandalism. The Five Dravidians article is well sourced and if you bothered to read its content or its references you would have noticed that the Five Dravidians are from the Pandyan Dynasty, a kingdom in the South of India (well referenced in its own article as well). Just in case you still can't find it or do not believe me here is a source. You yourself have arcknoledged that in your own edit here. And may I ask you to stop accusing other editors of 'spreading propaganda and POV' because I have been watching your edits and have noticed you are doing what you tell others not to. For example: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] and [10]. This is just a sample and they are all controversial edits, (I'm sure I dont need to explain why), non of them are referenced and all but one have an explanation as to why you did it. You have been warned and told not to do it before, yet you still continue. You have been warned many times on your own user page and I am afraid if you don't keep to Wiki guidlines I will have to report you. I hope you understand and happy editing.--Blackknight12 (talk) 03:34, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, you're a funny chap. Don't act as if you have not done your own POV edits. I can get proof beyond proof and report you as well. For some reason you are afraid of the truth in my edits, cited or not. The Jaffna Library edits have been referenced. The Kingdom of Kotte edit I have done is also referenced very clearly. In the article "The Five Dravidians", you have edit warred with another user claiming that they were invaders. Which is a very CLEAR POV edit from yourself. You edits are biased, as well have nationalistic propaganda side to it. Please stop, or I will have to report you. Thank You. (Tamilan101 (talk) 03:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Edit warring[edit]

Your recent editing history at Indo-Aryan migration shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Biased admins[edit]

Hi there. Seems like Bodhidarma is free to revert edit war. We both know, that we need to work together more closely, since we belong to the Dravidians. They want to ban you, although you haven't engaged in an edit war since you got the warning. Enough said. I want you to help me building up a strong alliance of proud Dravidians to counter the clearly visible Anti-Dravidian tendencies and propaganda work in Wikipedia. If you see a Dravidian in need try to help but beware of Admins with "Indo-European lineage". Be always in line with official policies. Don't talk with the bloodsucking Aryans and South Brahmins, unless you see that guy is ok. We both know, that this is the fight of our life, the only problem of all real Dravidians. We are here to win this battle--MThekkumthala (talk) 16:42, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I totally agree, we will find more editors like us and create a team of Dravidian editors. I will get back to Bodhidharma7's edits very shortly I will not allow him to spread propaganda like this. Wikipedia is the first choice to any researcher to gain general knowledge about any subject and if there is propaganda within the articles, then they will believe it is true. As of now there is a another edit war amongst Sri Lankan articles and there is a user named "SriSuren" who is trying to erase the history of Tamils on the island of Sri Lanka. He is also editing propaganda on the "Tamil people" page you can find him. Please help me with these edits, I will do what I can to help you fight your battles.(Tamilan101 (talk) 00:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks bro. I'll check that Cinkala later. Seems to be ridiculously Sinhala centric. I think he will be soon bombed with hard facts. one thing, do not engage in an editwar. this will weaken our cause significantly.--MThekkumthala (talk) 01:11, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All 3 of you, if you make sure your editing is according to Wikipedia norms and policies you should be able to work together to improve these articles. If you see problems with the neutrality of articles, then please make constructive proposals, and not proposals which simply involve changing from one POV to another. Rather than deleting reference to sourced materials, add balancing accounts and check whether you can make the wordings more neutral. Please also realize, all of you, that teaming-up in gangs is not a way to get around WP norms, it will just end up getting you banned, and then the articles will remain un-improved.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits in the Sri Vikrama Rajasinha article[edit]

I have left you an explanation (with 11 points) which refers to my revert of your (Tamilan101's) last revert, which was a revert of the stable version Blackknight12 chose, asking us to resolve the issues, and your last answers. I have chosen a more neutral stable version than Blackknight12 , which does not have any Sinhala or Tamil scripts, as his had only Tamil script. You have reverted all my edits including significant information (see point 11 in my explaination in the talk page), and not only the ones regarding the scripts and the king's socalled "alias" in your revert. You have also reverted the user MediaJet's edit. You must realize that there are some rules we must all adhere to. I have reverted your edit with what I think is a stable neutral version, if you want to revert that you can revert it and write in your Tamil scripts as well, but do your citations as specified in WP guidelines, instead of the link collection you have posted.

Please read the Demographics of Sri Lanka article. It provides, with references, the ethnicity of the island going back to 1881.

Your repeated reverts of my edits in the Kandy Nayaks article and failiure to give sources = Disruptive behaviour[edit]

As required by the process of complaining to the administrators I am informing you that if you revert my edit without giving a reliable source and specifying what these "number of marriage ties" were, I am going to complain to the administrators about your disruptive editing and reverting. On january 31st I gave 7 days to find a source and 25 days passed without any reliable source been given. Now you have started to revert my edit. Why is it so difficult to give a source and specify these marriage ties? Please see talk page in the article. As your behaviour is a clear violation of Wikipedia policies of WP:3RR and good faith editing, I will complain to the administrators - please note that if you revert my edit again, you'll be violating the 3RR, this is just counting the reverts u have done the last 24 hours. Please also note this is after you having had 25 days to give a source and specify these marriage ties. If you think it is not relevant to specify them in that paragraph, you could specify them in another paragraph or if you like, u could do so in the talk page first. You can't do any of it since you are fully aware that this statement is a fake synthesis/construction. This is a clear violation of good faith editing. --SriSuren (talk) 04:32, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sri Vikrama Rajasinha[edit]

I have protected the article Sri Vikrama Rajasinha so you can discuss your changes on the talk page instead of edit warring.

And please don't wait for the protection to run out so you can revert again, because I will protect it indefinitely.--Blackknight12 (talk) 03:45, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have an issue understanding the problem here. The version of the article prior to these recent changes was already chosen as the stable one. However the edits from Shu-Sai shong, MediaJet and SriSuren are unexplained on the talk page. Next you have protected this page and asked me discuss my "changes" on the talk page. I find this irrelevant because I am not the one doing these nonconstructive edits so I don't have to write anything on the talk page. I am only reverting the article back to it's original stage. You are creating disruption on this article without ANY discussion or reason.Tamilan101 (talk) 03:00, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Sri Vikrama Rajasinha. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in you being blocked from editing.

No you fail to understand that there is not only one stable version of an article, as there is information added and removed, the article is in a constant process of being developed. Hence the article is not going to be the same revision for the rest of its life. Keep that in mind. The other users you have stated did make constructive edits but all you did was revert them as seen here as one example. Even if you thought there was nothing wrong with your edits and there was with the others, why didn't you go to the talk page then, instead of edit warring? I gave you a warning already and you broke it, it seems to me you have a big problem with going to the talk page, I suggest you start following wiki policy, I'm sure that's not the first time I have told you, just don't let an Admin tell you next time.--Blackknight12 (talk) 04:22, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
