Your recent editing history at Arjuna 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.

I am reading Bhagavad Gita. I did a google search for Arjuna. I clicked the Wikipedia page for Arjuna. A major spoiler was revealed in the 3rd sentence of the 1st paragraph.

I understand that spoilers are allowed on Wikipedia, but should they really be in the 3rd sentence of the very first paragraph? Is that courteous and thoughtful? Encyclopedia Britannica doesn't do that. I looked on numerous other encyclopedia pages, and I haven't found one other page that thinks it's appropriate to put a major spoiler of a story in the 3rd sentence of the first paragraph. It seems common sense that a spoiler shouldn't be in the third sentence of the first paragraph.

This seems like common sense, like not ruining someone's surprise birthday party.

By the logic justifying the present condition of the Arjuna page, then by these alleged rules and this alleged logic, it should be 100% acceptable for me to go across Wikipedia, and insert the spoiler of every story or movie or book into the 3rd sentence of the first paragraph on every page. Clearly, that would be inappropriate. So why is it appropriate on the Wikipedia page for Arjuna? I'm not even making the case that the information shouldn't be present on the page. I'm making the extremely reasonable case that the placement of the information is borderline malicious and does a disservice to anyone reading Bhagavad Gita who is just curious, and does a google search on this character.

I am trying to preserve the value and experience of the reader who curiously does an internet search on a character. So, that others don't have to experience a story spoiler before finishing the book, which is what happened to me.

Putting this information in the 3rd sentence of the paragraph seems to go beyond the scope of just trying to provide information in a reasonable chronological order for an encyclopedia purpose, and instead seems to just be acting as an inappropriately misplaced spoiler.

Also, I'm not the only person who has removed this text from the Arjuna page. I have no affiliation with "Nestofbirdnests". But I thank them for being reasonable enough to understand remove this text for the sake of readers who don't want to be exposed to spoilers in the 3rd sentence of the first paragraph of this page.

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nestofbirdnests. Thank you.
