Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Whysoanonymous (talk) 08:40, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I looked into how and why you could get involved into Edit warring, which seemed unlikely, and being a retired informaticist, who didn't forget everything, I found that the IP user there, faking signature of Dunny830, also faked link to your talk page as part of his faked signature (see diff and the rest around). That got cross reverted and undone several times, and that's probably why you got notified above.

I suppose that is someone very knowledgeable about WP including arbitration processes, that got banned. He knew how to seem to do 3reverts, but the third was revert of his own previous change so he formally wouldn't be in that violation. (I had seen info about Croatian guy that WFoundation had several years of problems like that, being admin etc. there at the time, so I don't take this easy).

About location from IP-s: see

this for 96.246.158.82 (two posts, provider Verizon Business, possibly at job),
this for 12.89.215.238 (one post, provider AT&T Services, Inc., possibly mobile while commuting), both New York City, and
this for 96.57.24.10 (two posts, possibly residential, because it seems to be a TV cable provider, possibly Gravesend in Brooklyn, NY).

Next same MO(perandi) is by user that was inactive for several years, and is currently permanently blocked. Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 15:57, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Little guidance

Hi josh, you might be busy and i apologise for disturbing you. i am not extremely familiar with all the process in wikipedia and would love guidance from veterans.regarding the topic Purusha sukta where i tagged you for review, one editor reverted the edit, violating the policies, pushing blatant pov and even after explaining everything is not ready to understand.it looks like his agenda is set.i dont want to engage in edit war as that editor has a history of engaging people in edit war and then getting them blocked.i dont know how to tackle this. what steps can i take? is there any step i can take?.i have no idea how to even report this behaviour? .any assistance or advice would be valuable.

Vedic literature

Hello,

When you edited to Upanishads article to say that the Upanishads are the only widely known literature, what did you mean? The Vedas themselves are well known. Ultraneutral (talk) 03:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Upanishads are being read worldwide; the Vedic hymns are not. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 05:21, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they are. I've seen the Vedas at 20 used book stores. Plus, you are engaging in original research. The source doesn't say its the only widely known vedic text. Ultraneutral (talk) 09:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
