Disruptive editing on Yuga Cycle page

Since 3 September 2020, you have made at least 39 edits, mostly without edit summaries, on the Yuga Cycle page in an attempt to change punctuation and grammar according to your understanding. All of your edits have been reverted, mostly with a recommended practice described in the edit summary. Examples of your edits :

• adding spaces before colons and semicolons
• adding extra commas, which change the meaning of a sentence
• adding a comma after a hyphen (e.g. -,)
• removing ellipsis in quoted text
• modifying quoted text both in citations and block-quotes
• lowercasing the first letter in proper nouns (e.g. hindu)
• changing nouns to singular when there are multiple
• changing verb tense to present when it should be past
• conversing in an edit summary after a revert, even after being told to use a talk page
• etc.

I recently urged you to communicate any changes through a talk page, but you ignored this suggestion and persist at making these edits. To avoid this disruptive back and forth editing and reverting behavior, I again urge you to discontinue editing the Yuga Cycle page directly and discuss any changes on a talk page with sources. A good place to find recommendations is on the Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style page, which is a guideline of styling agreed upon by the Wikipedia community. We should all try to follow these guidelines when writing on Wikipedia. Below are some example sources as to why your edits were reverted:

• MOS:CITEPUNCT - "Ref tags are placed after adjacent punctuation, not before".
• MOS:COLON - "no space precedes a colon".
• MOS:DOUBLE SPACE - "In normal text, never put a space before a comma, semicolon, colon".
• MOS:CAPS - "In English, capitalization is primarily needed for proper names, acronyms, and for the first letter of a sentence".
• etc.

In your recent daily edits on Yuga Cycle, you have continued to ignore community guidelines that have been described above. Example, you shouldn't add a space before a semicolon. I have reverted these edits multiple times with an explanation, but you persist with the same disruptive mistakes. It would be better if you stop trying to change punctuation according to your understanding until you have familiarized yourself with the community guidelines.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Yuga Cycle, did not appear constructive and has been reverted.

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. Thank you.

Yuga Cycle repeat edits Oxford comma

Your recent edit on the Yuga Cycle article has been reverted. You removed the use of WP:Oxford commas, which is used throughout and therefore should be used "consistently within an article". You attempted the exact same edit on 3 March 2021‎. There are similar attempted edits on 23 February 2021 and 13 January 2021‎. As I requested earlier on your talk page, you should stop changing punctuation until you have familiarized yourself with the community guidelines found on WP:MOS. Also, you should review the history of an article page, especially if it contains your reverted edit(s), so that you can learn from it and to avoid an WP:EW resulting in a ban. Use talk pages to discuss changes. Finally, it is advisable that you fill in the "Edit Summary" when making edits, which you tend not to do according to your contributions page.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Yuga Cycle. 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. Thank you. Jroberson108 (talk) 19:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yuga Cycle, you may be blocked from editing.

Please stop modifying quoted text, changing citation page numbers, lowercasing the first letter of a sentence. Also stop trying to modify punctuation until you are more familiar with WP:MOS, which has been repeatedly asked in previous messages. Jroberson108 (talk) 10:21, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

"Nine" in numbers is not written "ix" but "IX" and "9". Hello and thks to familiarize you with that evident rule before to fill this page, please. VirguloMane (talk) 10:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

@VirguloMane: Please provide a link to the WP:MOS rule you are referring to. "ix" and "IX" are both valid Roman numbers. Burgess's book, cited on the Yuga Cycle page with a link, uses a page number of "ix". There is no need to deviate from the source and capitalize it according to your preferences. Converting it to "9" as you did is innacurate since both pages "ix" and "9" exist. You can see this easily by clicking on the cited book's link. Jroberson108 (talk) 11:08, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

In your recent edit on Yuga Cycle, you added a period with an edit summary of but sometimes in your contributions, JRoberson, you've written correcter "page 9" in place of "page ix" ... Why these "sudden" differences ?!. I've mentioned before, don't use the edit summary to communicate with users about something unrelated to the edit. Instead, do it on a talk page and use the "Ping" template to get the user's attention. I'm not sure why you are still confused about why you shouldn't change the referenced page from "ix" to "9"? Simply put, the content is found on page "ix", not page "9", which both pages exist: page ix and page 9 Jroberson108 (talk) 10:10, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

You made a lot of unnecessary and unconstructive edits that were reverted. Your latest attempt to add a comma to "sfn" templates broke the ref links. You are obviously unfamiliar with how that template works and are blindly editing them. I ask you yet again to stop this disruptive behavior. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:23, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
