Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.

How do I create citations?

1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent uploads, such as the file you uploaded at Shivaji, did not appear to be constructive and has been or soon will be deleted.

I added his signature to the infobox. many infoboxes of royalty contain signatures.

this is a clear background version of the signature I made based on a letter. from what I read ( I could be wrong ) This would fall under the public domain.

• Any kind of work other than the above enters the public domain 60 years after the author's death (or in the case of a multi-author work, the death of the last surviving author), counted from the beginning of the following calendar year.

Discretionary sanctions

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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

Packer&Tracker (remark) 12:48, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello,as you readded that statement which was removed by me on the page of 'Mughal-Maratha Wars' but I suppose you didn't read my edit summary in which I have explained that different historians have multiple views on this statement&all historians views are putted on Sambhaji's page in Capture&execution section which I recommend you to read.Interistingly all accounts including Mughals&Portuguese also there is not mentioned that he was committed atrocities in Burhanpur, that statement itself doesn't have valid source as it written by john f Richards who written most to glorify mughals.instead all other accounts says common point that Sambhaji refused to give his kingdom&to convert to islam.further in article of Mughal-Maratha wars its about his role in that war not his death summary by the way as mentioned in last some sentences he was refused to bow&beheaded so that's enough about his death.so I want you to remove that statement by yourself because if I will remove it is near to be called as edit war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prathmesh Bhale (talk • contribs) 07:44, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

you removed a cited opinion of a historian. Opinions of historians are usually included in articles, as they should. The section also includes other opinions as well. SKAG123 (talk) 22:28, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Shivaji

Your recent editing history at Shivaji 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.
You should discuss the edits on talk page first and get consensus of othe active editors. Don't revert without discussion. Akshaypatill (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I have made a discussion on the talk page Talk:Shivaji#Second position

you reverted my edits without responding or engaging in the talk section.
please engage in the talk page instead of claiming this as edit warring when you didn't have any discussion in the talk page

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mughal Empire into List of modern great powers. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 21:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chola invasion of Kalinga (1110), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kalinga. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sinhalese Revolt (1055 - 1070) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sinhalese Revolt (1055 - 1070), is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. There are large sections which are wholly uncited. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. I did this rather than removing the uncited material in the article, which I felt would be more disruptive. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask on my talk page. When you have the required sourcing (and every assertion needs a source), and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Or feel free to ping me to take another look.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:22, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Edits on Shahu I page

You have basically defaced the page with improper edits. Including but not limited to adding a late 19th century painting for an early 18th century figure, excessive focus on Peshwas and lots of spelling eras. Please refrain from such edits or we should involve an experienced editor to supervise the page. DeccanFlood (talk) 08:50, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello @SKAG123 You are messeged me at my talk page,yes I have to discuss it on talk page but you had made False accusation on me for Abuse can you give proof that at where I had used abusive words & waht are they?As I don't used abusive words regarding that edit so refrain from these words next time! Aryan330 (talk) 02:21, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I used the wrong template, which is why I deleted it and replaced it with the disruptive editing template. Typically when a user quickly reverts or deletes an edit or talk page message, it is a mistake. Unfortunately your edits, specifically on Sambhaji did not appear to be constructive. However you did not use any abusive language

my apologies

Question about signatures and seals

Hello @SKAG123, I wanted to ask if you could let me know how to transform an image of a signature or seal stamp into a black-and-white image? For example. you created this work: image

I would be grateful if you could let me know what software you use to create those images based on the original signature/seals. I wanted to create one for a seal I have. Thank you. ThethPunjabi (talk) 03:40, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Just put the image through any e signature software and is should work. You might have manually clean up the image after. SKAG123 (talk) 03:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@SKAG123 Which e-signature software do you use? I'm not the most tech-savvy tbh. ThethPunjabi (talk) 03:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

I use the one that comes built into a Mac but there are many available for PC as well. Lust look up “image to e signature converter” and you will find plenty. SKAG123 (talk) 03:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@SKAG123 I have a Mac too, is it Preview? ThethPunjabi (talk) 03:49, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes I use preview SKAG123 (talk) 03:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@SKAG123 Preview only lets me sign with my touch pad or take a photo with the camera for signatures. How do you upload an image for a signature? ThethPunjabi (talk) 04:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Preview works well if you have it in a separate device. Dropbox works better if you want to upload an image as a signature SKAG123 (talk) 04:10, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (second request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Battle of Samugarh into Mughal War of Succession (1658–1659).

Reverted Edit on Shivaji Page

This is regarding the edit you reverted in Page on Shivaji, and your message per User talk:Nonentity683#August 2023.

1. Changes in question (made to Shivaji page) are all supported by solid Academic sources.
2. Changes are about reorganising lede for better readability. e.g. Before these changes, fact around Shivaji's coronation came up before fact around how Shivaji engaged in alliances and hostilities with Mughals etc.
3. Lede section did not contain any discussion around Shivaji's Legacy, or where Maratha Empire fits into the larger Picture of Indian History. Info on this was added, and all added info is backed by solid academic sources.
4. Before these changed, Lede section incorrectly identified People's opinions and views as Shivaji's Legacy. The two are fundamentally different.

Your reverted these changes, and message was "This talks about events that Happend well after Shivaji's death.". This revert is not valid for a number of reasons -

1. There is no guideline that states that events that happened after a person's death cannot be included in an article on that person.
2. Legacy tends to be a complicated discussion, and its timeline can stretch all the way to present.

If you have any points around specifics, we can discuss those. I would suggest that you not revert the edits without verifying sources or checking Wikipedia policies. I am seeing a lot of messages around Edit wars on your Talk page about page on Shivaji, not sure if this revert is part of a larger pattern.

For now, I'll consider this as a one off instance. If you keep blindly reverting edits for no valid reason, I reserve rights to raise this in appropriate forums. Nonentity683 (talk) 10:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

For reference, this version corresponds to the changes that I made and that you reverted - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shivaji&oldid=1170672669. Nonentity683 (talk) 10:37, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Gordon in particular is very clear about the Northward march of Marathas. Following is an excerpt from his book -

In the 1750s, the "frontier" extended north to Delhi. In this period, the Mughal government directly controlled little territory further than fifty miles from the capital. Even this was fiercely fought over. Jats and Rohillas disputed for the territory; factions fought for the throne, and the Afghan king, Ahmad Shah Abdali, periodically descended on the capital. ... For the Marathas, probably the two most significant events of the whole chaotic period in Delhi were a treaty in 1752, which made them protector of the Mughal throne (and gave them the right to collect chauth in the Punjab), and the civil war of 1753, by which the Maratha nominee ended up on the Mughal throne.- (Cambridge History of India Vol. 2 Part 4 pp138 - 139)

This clearly calls out that Marathas remained pre-eminent power in India until 1818.

Reverted Edit On Mughal Empire Page

Hi,

This is regarding the changes I made to page on Mughal Empire, link to version is https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mughal_Empire&oldid=1169936779. You reverted this edit with a message "Too much detail for the lead. Not nuterally written.".

"Too much detail for the lead" is not a valid reasons -

1. Even before this change, the Lede section on this page was already long. See version prior to this change - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mughal_Empire&oldid=1169891346
2. The changes I made added 3 / 4 sentences in Lede. In any case, the change did not substantially alter the length of Lede section.

"Not nuterally written." is not a valid reason. For reference, these are the sentences that were added in Lede by change in question - "Aurangzeb's campaign against Maratha Empire nominally increased the size of Mughal Empire, but failed to achieve its objective of conquering Maratha Empire, and had a ruinous effect on Mughal Army and Treasury . After Aurangzeb's death, Marathas started conquest of Mughal Territories and became the dominant power in subcontinent . Reduced subsequently to the region in and around Old Delhi by 1760, the Mughal empire was formally dissolved by the British Raj after the Indian Rebellion of 1857."

1. These are all backed by solid Academic Sources.
2. That Aurangzeb's campaign increased the size of Mughal Empire is already mentioned in Article.
3. That Aurangzeb's campaign failed to achieve its objective or that it had ruinous effect on Mughal Army and Treasure is a consensus in Academic community. See Sarkar, and Gordon, and
4. As for last two sentences, see Sarkar, Gordon, and in general any established source on Mughal-Maratha Wars and decline of Mughal Empire.

Gordon in particular is very clear about the Northward march of Marathas. Following is an excerpt from his book -

In the 1750s, the "frontier" extended north to Delhi. In this period, the Mughal government directly controlled little territory further than fifty miles from the capital. Even this was fiercely fought over. Jats and Rohillas disputed for the territory; factions fought for the throne, and the Afghan king, Ahmad Shah Abdali, periodically descended on the capital.

...

For the Marathas, probably the two most significant events of the whole chaotic period in Delhi were a treaty in 1752, which made them protector of the Mughal throne (and gave them the right to collect chauth in the Punjab), and the civil war of 1753, by which the Maratha nominee ended up on the Mughal throne.- (Cambridge History of India Vol. 2 Part 4 pp138 - 139)

As such, the charge of "Not neutrally written " is not substantiated.

Would again suggest that you not blindly revert edits without checking sources and without good reasons.

Image removal of Vande Bharat sleeper

Dear @SKAG123,

The image which you had thought of as rendered image, it's an artist's impression of the trainset. It's not a reality which will be running in the upcoming years. This is just a prototype image and can be kept unless updates from officials release the picture of the actual look of the trainset. So I'd say W.R.T. @Arnav Bhate keep the image in that wikipage as it is and when the actual photo be released then the impression image can be replaced with the real prototype image.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, 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 special powers 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 practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

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 here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

By his fifth year, Rajendra claimed to have completely conquered Ceylon, a claim that has led some historians to assert that Rajendra "completed" the conquest Rajaraja had begun. But the Cholas never really consolidated their control over southern Ceylon, which in any case lacked large and prosperous settlements to tempt long-term Chola occupation". If you read that you can understand that Cholas never Consolidated(Strengthen) their control over South Ceylon which means they had control but they didn't Strengthen their control.

But the Cholas never really consolidated their control over southern Ceylon, which in any case lacked large and prosperous settlements to tempt long-term Chola occupation". If you read that you can understand that Cholas never Consolidated(Strengthen) their control over South Ceylon which means they had control but they didn't Strengthen their control. By this we can find Entire Sri Lanka is part of Chola Empire.

2)Source: History of Sri Lanka by K. M De Silva. He said "He was captured by the Invading Cholas in 1017 and died in captivity in South India, The conquest of the island was completed under Rajaraja's son Rajendra. The southern parts of the island slipped out of cholas control within a short time. ".page no: 26.

3) Source: Author: KA Nilakanta sastry book named 'The Colas' on page 200,he says"Rajendra’s success was complete, and the whole of the island became a Cola province".

Issue regarding persistent unconstructive edits

Hello @SKAG123, it's a pleasure to be talking to you. As you may have noticed, I made an edit regarding the religion of Tipu Sultan supported by WP:RS and even responded to the concerns raised by providing direct quotations from the book. However, user DeepstoneV has refused to acknowledge this and keeps reverting these edits.Furthermore they've made rather unconstructive comments,when presented with a source that verified the information,such as "Sew the source". Any thoughts on this? Thanks Salman Cooper Mapping (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Revert

Come on dude seriously? I made two edits. The first one had an edit summary. Why do I even bother writing them if no one is gonna read them and then tell me that I didn't write a summary at all 🤦🏻 Rolando 1208 (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

This edit of yours did not have an edit summery. Please use one next time as it helps distinguish constructive edits from vandalism SKAG123 (talk) 21:31, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Got it. Still, your automated response was kind of condescending. Explaining how to write edit summaries and all. I'm not a new user. Rolando 1208 (talk) 23:07, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Revert

You reverted my edits with the reason that I didn't provide valid reason in edit summary. However, I put a valid reason. And those edits are not even sourced in first place, yet you mention that the edits are sourced. Luigi Boy ルアイヂ ボイ ^talk 16:09, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

The content was sourced in the articles body and You removed it. Please use the articles talk page and provide sources. SKAG123 (talk) 16:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Regarding this edit [1], I don't see any source. The source that precede resp. succeed don't mention this fact. Btw how are you going to source something that doesn't exist in first place? Someone who claims should provide the source. Luigi Boy ルアイヂ ボイ ^talk 16:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I've also added a note as you wished that there should be a discussion. You may look into it: Talk Luigi Boy ルアイヂ ボイ ^talk 16:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Move of Maratha Empire

Hello. I noticed your proposal to rename "Maratha Empire" to "Maratha Confederacy." However, wouldn't it be more fitting to suggest renaming it to "Marathas of Satara"? The rulers referred to as the "Maratha empire" in the article were actually the rulers of Satara. Other Maratha states, such as Indore State, Bhonsles of Nagpur, and Gwalior State, even engaged in campaigns against each other and at times against the Marathas of Satara themselves. Is it appropriate to label it as the "Maratha Empire"? Alternatively, perhaps there isn't an article for the Marathas of Satara. It seems peculiar to consider the rulers of the "Maratha Empire" solely as the rulers of Satara, especially considering the changing power among other Maratha states over time. What are your thoughts on this matter? Imperial^[AFCND] 11:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I have another concern regarding the use of "Maratha Empire" for the military campaigns of Shivaji, Sambhaji, and Rajaram. During their reigns, they were not governing an "Empire." Even the New Cambridge History of India does not refer to the Marathas under their rule as an "Empire." Imperial^[AFCND] 11:06, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The article also talks about the Peshawas and other Maratha states so I would oppose it. SKAG123 (talk) 15:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

It is all mixed up. But don't you think Marathas of Satara needs a seperate article? Or atleast an attribution in the Maratha Empire? The informations about Peshwas couldn't be added at Peshwa and other respective articles? Imperial^[AFCND] 15:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

There is the Satara State article. It could be a expanded. SKAG123 (talk) 17:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Yeah. An expansion is needed as its establishment date dates from 1818, which is actually the fall of Marathas of Satara. Imperial^[AFCND] 17:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

@SKAG123 and @ImperialAficionado, I've recreated the move request. I had been unable to voice my support in your original one because I was busy at that time. Please check Talk:Maratha Empire. PadFoot2008 (talk) 11:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey Skag, could you please look up some additional battles on Wikipedia that are considered to be based on low-context information or heavily unreliable sources regarding the Maratha invasions of Punjab?such as Siege of Sirhind Hassan Gangu (talk) 21:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Gupta empire's inaccurate map

Hello, Mr. SKAG. You should join the discussion in the Gupta Empire's Talk section article. I'm planning to initiate a campaign to remove the inaccurate map of the Gupta Empire, which merges different historical eras into one. Your opinion would be valuable there.

You may have made a mistake editing the List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world: Revision history page

Hi User:SKAG123, I think you might have made a mistake while editing the List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world page. I noticed you deleted several entries (such as coffee, glass manufacturing etc) and then added them back, just wanted to check. Hi! (talk) 23:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

I removed Coffee from the Ottoman Empire and made it its own section. The source says it was discovered in Yemen and does not mention the Ottomans. I removed Glass Manufacturing as glass has existed well before. SKAG123 (talk) 04:22, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding Capture of the Grand Mughal Fleet

Hello, I saw your newly created article Capture of the Grand Mughal Fleet and it appears that you've copied the references from other articles without actually adding the sources themselves therefore creating a mass of orphaned refs, can you also add sources from the article you copied the references.

Notability

CTOP alerts

SKAG, just a gentle nudge to substitute {{Contentious topics/alert}} or {{Contentious topics/alert/first}} templates, as appropriate, when alerting editors to the existence of designated contentious topics. Based on a recent AN report (not otherwise related to you), I believe that you are, or were till recently, using the old DS alert template, which has now been supplanted.
