Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, ParvatPrakash, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



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.

[edit]

Hi ParvatPrakash, kindly do not revert my changes at the Mahavira Wiki Page beacuse of your personal reasons that you've been struggling through last few months. The old image used is a very well known image of Mahavir Swami. If I wanted I could also have removed another Shwetambar tradition image from the page but I am a secular Jain scholar from Canada. Just refining Jainism for people here. Kindly do not spread sectarian supremerism. Peace. (talk • contribs) 07:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Any reverts are because of loss of information produced by your edits. Images are unimportant as long as they indicate the same person. However, deleting other information that you don't believe in is not acceptable. I'll keep your image as you say, but deleting any other information is vandalism. See Wikipedia:Vandalism ParvatPrakash (talk) 08:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ParvatPrakash, as described in bold text by the introduction of the policy you've linked to, accusations of vandalism (malicious / intentional damage to the encyclopedia) are probably wrong here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I could have been wrong. Just noticed the details. However, User:Dennis Dijkstra deleted details about the spouse and children of Mahavira. These changes were without references. They seemed to be vandalising edits to me. So, to not engage in edit war with the user, I thought to keep the image same as suggested by them. However, unexplained deletion of information seemed unnecessary to me. I could very well be wrong here though. ParvatPrakash (talk) 08:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Rishabhanatha) for a period of 2 weeks for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I tried to discuss the reason with the user on their talk page. I have been trying to do that since yesterday. They keep changing the page without responding to my message on their talk page. I also warned them multiple times, but they did not respond with an answer. I have warned the said user over 5 times since yesterday.

Decline reason:

Once you have achieved consensus for your changes on the article talk page, but not before, you can ask for an unblock. Yamla (talk) 09:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Hi ParvatPrakash, the correct place for such a discussion is the article's talk page, and you can still edit that page. Please create a new section there explaining your preference. You can then use {{Please see}} at User talk:Be Jain to invite Be Jain to the discussion. I'd be surprised if this doesn't result in discussion, but if it really doesn't and you are really ignored, see WP:DISCFAIL for a helpful essay describing a way to proceed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:53, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: In your message on the article's talk page, please focus on the content. Do not directly address the other user, simply explain why you prefer your revision and why the other version is not acceptable. If possible, cite a policy or guideline supporting your view. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. I didn't know about this policy. Still learning as I go. I'll keep in mind to discuss difference on the article's talk page instead of the user's. I think I just swayed cause I was warning them for the other disruptive edits they were making. Thanks again. ParvatPrakash (talk) 06:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All good, no worries. Thank you very much for starting the discussion at Talk:Rishabhanatha#Image_of_the_subject; this is a very good start. Citing guideline sections, looks perfect to me. Of course, there may be disagreement about whether the guideline actually supports your image choice, and if you remain in disagreement, you may need a third opinion or a RfC. But that's not something to be done at the start, that's just an option one should keep in mind for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 06:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
