May 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. INeedSupport (talk) 19:40, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm INeedSupport. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to Karnataka. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. INeedSupport (talk) 19:42, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Karnataka

Thanks for your attempt to improve Karnataka. Unfortunately, it was reverted for good cause. If you have a difference of opinion on how best to improve the content of an article, the thing to do is to go to the Talk page of the article, in this case, to Talk:Karnataka, click the "New section" tab at the top of the page, and make a proposal on how you would like to change the article, and why. See WP:TALK for a guideline on how to use article Talk pages, and WP:DR for some tips on dispute resolution.

What you shouldn't do, is become upset or make uncivil comments like this one from your edit summary: Reverted persistent vandalism by LeoFrank. I request the administrators to take away its Adminship., as that will just make things more difficult for you. Wikipedia is a collaborative platform, and the ability to get along with others in a joint effort to find consensus and improve the encyclopedia, is one of the five "pillars", or fundamental principles of Wikipedia. So please assume good faith on the part of other editors, even if your work is reverted, and discuss openly and try to find a consensus. If you can't, sometimes the best thing is to just walk away, and work on improving a different article. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 02:26, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
