Your recent editing history at Swastika 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’ve been trying to get back to this page since seeing that, you responded to my initial post, but I’ve been dogged with more of the same thing on the same page. Your request for a citation is not unreasonable, but a better course than mass reverting (which wipes out everything with no explanation what your specific grievances may be with any single item or number of them) would be to identify the specific concern and use a “citation needed“ template, which is the standard form for requesting a citation when one is needed. Or, before you prove hair-trigger with your mass reverts, clicking on the link to the reference page to see if the claim made about it is accurate. If so, a citation may or may not be required. If it is, again, being constructive, rather than just purging new edits willy-nilly you could find that citation and copy it into the original article. Doing this will give you valuable practice in how to use the encyclopedia, how to edit it, and what its features are, which is a much better application of your time (in terms of the net result for you, and for the rest of the encyclopedia’s editors and users) than doing new changes patrol without the experience to back it up.
Just so that you know you are being heard (and do indeed seem to be a very good citizen who is attempting to fit in well at the encyclopedia) I went back and cited the single claim I had added to the Operation Elster page, regardless that it is fundamental, undisputed, and widely known as the cause for the failure of Operation Pretorius that preceded it. Good luck. 2601:196:180:8D80:A9F1:E6B0:852F:B49E ( talk) 15:06, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
Oh, and PS: though it is a natural instinct, it’s not really good form to purge critical comments from your talk page. (Vandalism or outright abuse, that is something else.) You can, but it’s better to learn from them, and demonstrate by your actions that whatever has been raised has been addressed, and you have grown and improved as a Wikipedia editor.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:196:180:8D80:A9F1:E6B0:852F:B49E ( talk)

Hi RamaKrishnaHare. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:01, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
You have recently been editing India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.
If I see you doing this again [1] I will report the matter. It is entirely contrary to Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines to remove other people's comments - or to remove (or substantially edit) your own, after such edits have been responded to. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 11:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hey RamaKrishnaHare,
I hope you're having a good day. I saw that you reverted my edit of the introduction of the Caste article, with the suggestion to bring it up on the talk page first. In fact, there is already an active discussion there, with several editors having raised the concern that the introduction is too technical (and indeed the article itself contains a corresponding tag). I understand if you don't think my edits were accurate or appropriate, but there's clearly agreement that it needs some form of rewriting. Could you weigh in with your thoughts on the talk page?

Hello, i've made changes to the draft of Jagadish Palanisamy, removed sections that cannot current be cited and also changed a lot of citations. Please let me know if you can help with this article! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syler.mi4 ( talk • contribs) 07:48, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
