If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]. 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 [[Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule|three-revert rule]], which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|block]].

:Yash, I can see that your edits are in good faith, but you still ''must'' get consensus before making significant and contentious edits to an article, such as the repeated deletions you're making at [[:List of Indian monarchs]]. Otherwise, a Wikipedia administrator is likely to block you for edit-warring. Please join the discussion on inclusion of foreign monarchs in the List of Indian monarchs [[Talk:List of Indian monarchs# Large-scale section blanking|here]], and let's find some common ground on this.

List of Indian monarchs
Hello, I'm Dai Pritchard. I noticed that you recently removed some content from List of Indian monarchs without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of Indian monarchs, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

- Thanks for adding edit summaries, but they don't explain why you've removed so many monarchs of India, including foreign imperial monarchs. Let's please continue this discussion at the talk page, Talk:List of Indian monarchs. Dai Pritchard (talk) 18:12, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at List of Indian monarchs. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, 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 be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dai Pritchard (talk) 18:43, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
