Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Nader Shah's invasion of India, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. - LouisAragon (talk) 10:03, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Caucasus Campaign (1735). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. - LouisAragon (talk) 10:04, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Will all due respect, I fail to see how any of my edits that particular day could be construed as unconstructive. The previous wording, which unfortunately most articles have been reverted to as of writing this, opted to refer to the Iranian factions not by the name of their dynasties but by the outdated denonym "Persian", which only refers to a single ethnic group of the Iranian plateau, and one which one of the dynasties which the articles had covered, whether Safavid or Afsharid, were part of, the former being Turko-Kurdish and the latter, entirely Turkic. Some articles had even erroneously linked to the article about the Persian ethnicity when referring to Iranian military factions as 'Persian'. Not only this one other article which I had edited, that being 'Moḥammad Taqi Khan Shirazi's Rebellion', whose edits have been reverted to the previous version, had unnecessarily spelled the province of Fars, as well as Nader Shah, using the letter 'ā', which offered the article a stilted and eccentric look, completely discontinuous with the typical spelling opted for in every other Iran or Farsi-related article, which all use standard Anglicized spellings of the nouns. I am very disappointed to see that so many edits which if anything rectified the erroneous depiction of Iranian factions as all being 'Persian', have been reverted, and that my contributions have been deemed 'unconstructive' and 'disruptive'.
