You have repeatedly removed well-sourced content from various articles, given no or insufficient explanations for those changes on the talk page and disguised them by misleading
edit summaries. I have listed some of those summaries below. If you continue disregarding
WP:RS and to post such misleading edit summaries, you may be
blocked for disruption. --

- in this edit you removed content properly sourced to two scholarly works (Hoyland, Salles) and added content incorrectly sourced to a third scholarly work (Larsen, p. 13, does not say - as you wrote - that Bahrain was referred to by the Greeks as Tylos, the centre of pearl trading, when Nearchus came to discover it serving under Alexander the Great, Larsen rather says on p. 49/50 that Bahrain was identified by the Greek name of Tylos since the collapse of the Neo-Babylonian Empire under Nabonidus (ca. 538 B.C.). This has nothing to do with POV, edit and edit summary were improper, and giving no explanation on the talk page was improper, too.
"I checked your source. It is about the steppe nomads in general and not Jalayerid (quote the sentence if i am in mistake)"

- in this edit you again removed content sourced to two scholarly works, this time because the page number given for one of them (Grousset) was wrong by one. By using Google book search or by simply turning the page you easily could have found the sentence you were looking for not on p. 195, but on p. 194: The Jelair tribe (...) may have been a Turkic tribe reduced to vassalage and assimilated by the mongols. And since the other citation was correct anyway (Manz, The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane,
ISBN0521633842, p. 11: the most powerful at this time was probably the Turkic-Mongolian Jalayirid federation), this edit and edit summary were improper, again.
- Untrue. The source (Encyclopedia Britannica) had already been there, and still is, referenced to in the very same sentence (and even quoted in the citation: also called Kipchak Khanate).

- as per
WP:ADHOM, this is no reason to revert anything.
"What is the problem with this scholarly source?"
July 31
- in this edit you reverted to an edit (made by you) providing a source that, alas, does not back up your claim (neither on
page 44 nor anywhere else). That is the problem.
"per WP:UNDUE and WP:QS. UNPO is not received as credible or widely acknowledged as a credible organization (See talk page)"
August 13
- in this edit you removed content sourced to the
New York Times and to
Eurozine, this time because you disapprove of the organization they report on. Your disapproval however is irrelevant here and certainly does not turn the New York Times into a
questionable source. Please stop.
