Your edits to India
Please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Opportunities for commonality. It will be better if you get yourself familiarized with Wikipedia guidelines. Also, what part of "discuss this further in talkpage" did you not understand? You should wait for my response atleast before engaging in revert war. --King Zebu (talk) 05:32, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
I did, wiki guidelines do mention context, and in the context of the topic of the article, the numbering does make sense, and I add links to alternate numbering. As for reverts, I did as you did, I wouldn't want people to be devoid of information due to your delay in deciding what you think if the right way to write.
- Wiki guidelines at MOS:NUMERAL also mention "Group digits in Western thousands-based style (e.g., 30,000,000; not 3,00,00,000)", which you have ignored again. Please read the manual of style properly before editing further, especially the item stating "Sometimes, the variety of English used in an article may suggest the use of a numbering system other than the Western thousands-based system. For example, the South Asian numbering system is conventionally used for certain things (especially monetary amounts) in South Asian English. This is discouraged in Wikipedia articles by Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Opportunities_for_commonality." Bazza (talk) 10:57, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Discouraged, not disallowed.
- Indeed. And Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Opportunities_for_commonality goes on to say "Use universally accepted terms rather than those less widely distributed, especially in titles. For example, glasses is preferred to the national varieties spectacles (British English) and eyeglasses (American English); ten million is preferable to one crore (Indian English)." It also adds "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary.", which is not what you have been doing. Also, "With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or a term/spelling carries less ambiguity), there is no valid reason for such a change.": the South Asian numbering system is not less ambiguous or clear to the majority of English Wikipedia readers, many of whom may not have English as their first language, nor any familiarity with the numbering system concerned.
It is good to see that you have refrained from further disruption.Bazza (talk) 13:26, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Please do not name it 'disruption' when it isn't withholding information. I'm stating both numbering systems with links to both, seeing how it's an article on India, I'll stick to it being written in both Indian numbering system and the other one.
- But you are not doing that. You have repeatedly used two-digit groupings for large numbers (such as population); you redid your change which was reverted with a request (from User:King Zebu) to discuss first which you ignored. You have also ignored the instructions "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary." which I referred to above. That is disruption. Bazza (talk) 15:02, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
And you say this while you're ignoring that if those were the violating edits, why were all of my crore (million) edits were removed too. That said, I could do the same with comma separated numbers with INS(Other NS) if that helps my edit be more in line with Wikipedia standards
- Pressing "undo" reverts everything in an edit. It's more likely to happen if you make many changes in the same edit; do not provide any useful information in the edit summary; and do not engage in discussion when asked. Having large numeric values specified twice in two different formats is not acceptable: you should use three-digit separation only as specified at MOS:NUMERAL. Your primary use of uncommon number names (such as crore and lakh) ignores Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Opportunities_for_commonality. And you are making all these changes in defiance of "When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary." I do not understand why you persevere in this behaviour. If you do not like the MOS standards then petition to get them changed to suit your preferences rather than persistently edit disruptively. Bazza (talk) 15:36, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
I did provide that information previously, until all of them were ignored. That said, I intend to keep it in Indian numbering system seeing how the article is indeed written in "Indian English" which sees those words as dictionary words.
As this limited conversation is unlikely to reach a consensus, and the India article has been temporarily protected from editing as a result of multiple reversions, I have copied it to Talk:India#Numbering_system to encourage a wider discussion and agreement.

Hello, I'm Tsumikiria. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Gab (social network) have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Tsumikiria⧸ 🌹🌉 09:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello Azuredivay, such raw external links should not be added in the article's main text (please read WP:EL). Wikipedia is no blog where such in-text links are commonly used. Your revert also re-introduced several other errors I had fixed - please don't revert such edits contrary to current guidelines. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 16:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Naukri.com, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. creffett (talk) 00:26, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Overlinking
Please follow WP:OVERLINK. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 22:34, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
Despite your edit summary, you are still overlinking
"Religion" is an everyday word, doesn't need a link. If it's really necessary to link India abd Indian, and I don't think it is, they should only be linked once - India is linked 30 times. There are others such as "Bachelor of Science" where a link seems pointless. Doug Weller talk 10:10, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Misuse of italics
Please read MOS:IT as by our standards you've messed up the article. We don't use italics for quotes, we don't use them for words unless we are writing about the word itself. You used italics and quotes for "goodwill mission", you shouldn't use either, see MOS:SCAREQUOTES as well. In fact read that entire page. Doug Weller talk 10:27, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Content or style reverts are not vandalism
Please read WP:VANDALISM. I've reverted you and tried to fix a few more problems. I can't recall if you added them, but this also reverted unneeded/wanted spaces in the infobox. Please don't revert again. If you think there are still problems, discuss them on the talk page, don't edit war. Doug Weller talk 10:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Some links I think you should reinstate
I don't have time to fix all the problems. We don't need links to countries. We do need links to organisations and my revert removed some of those, but we should not have their names in quotes. If there's no article, the name is all we need. I don't want you to think that all of your links were wrong. But just insert them, don't revert please. Hindu saints is a good one too. I see that my revert reinstated a link to guerilla which I don't think you should have removed. Doug Weller talk 11:23, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Important Notice
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

April 2020
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Adam's Bridge. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The article's name is Adam's Bridge, and until and unless it is renamed, that needs to be the name primarily used in the article – otherwise it only serves to confuse the readers. Other names are mentioned, just as they should be, in the very first sentence of the article. bonadea contributions talk 20:44, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
