For adding anything significant, sometimes even one sentence, you need to gain consensus on the talk page first, especially when an edit has been challenged.

== Salutations ==

Hi Highpeaks, let me first begin by commending your recent edits to India-artcile. They were much needed upgrade - because the article felt to be stuck back in time. And now I know why - we have some biased, Indophobic Wikipedians who zealously push their agenda. I see [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Fowler&fowler|this as a big win]] because it clearly exposes Fowler's intent. All kudos to you.

Now, regarding India-article, it seems that Fowler has managed to revert ALL content improvement efforts and has restored the article back to the version he wanted. He also removed all recent content changes I had made to Economy section - adding latest economic statistics.

I therefore suggest that we synergise our efforts and focus on first ensuring that the Economy section is not distorted the way Fowler wants it - and then move towards other content - taking one step at a time. --[[User:King Zebu|King Zebu]] ([[User talk:King Zebu|talk]]) 05:16, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

:::Just wanted to clarify that the intent of this message was to ensure that upgrades to India article be taken one step at a time - rather than pushing multiple upgrades all at once. It was in no way to build an alliance in violation of [[WP:BATTLEFIELD]] and [[WP:TAGTEAM]].

== AAPS ==

Sorry about that revert at AAPS - I was just about to add something that did sort of tie in the Phuralung origin. I do think the the long list of rituals should be cut back because it seems to be about the religion, not the society. An exhaustive list of religious festivals might be relevant somewhere, but not in that article - any organisation promoting a religion is bound to promote the festivals. Perhaps we should just leave a couple as examples, being the ones that are sourced and linked. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 03:40, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

== Ahom "Hindu" kingdom ==

Please do not generalize a statement out of context. At the time of Rudra Singha the Ahom kings were looking for a means to curtail the influence of the Neo-Vaishnavism ([[Ekasarana dharma]] groups, which can also be termed as Hindu. His predecessor and father [[Gadadhar Singha]] tried to do this first with a secular approach, but Rudra Singha toyed with the idea of using another sect instead---[[Saktism]]---which actually was originally tribal. It was during his sons reign (Siva Singha), and at the hands of his non-Ahom queen Phuleshwari Konwari, that the Neo-Vaishnavaite sects were very severely persecuted. Even as this happened, the Ahom kings continued to draw legitimacy from the Ahom priests and followed the Ahom customs.

Thus it makes no sense to call the Ahom kingdom a "Hindu" kingdom. It was using one Hindu sect against another and it continued to follow old Ahom traditions.

Take it to the talk page", when it is explicitly quoted from the first reference that "Pilau most likely originated in Iran, and it traveled to Europe and South Asia after the expansion of Islam." and the source is an Oxford Encyclopedia?

== [[Prostitution]] ==

You need to slow down. You're making so many changes that it's not possible to deleted them one by one, because they overlap, forcing me to remove them all. Further your "grammar" edits are '''''not''''' improvements, and the removal of blank lines after images '''''does not effect the rendered page''''' but makes it easier to edit the article. Please do not remove them anymore.

Now, I have reverted edits of yours, and I would like to remind you about [[WP:BRD]]. When your '''''B'''''old edit has been '''''R'''''everted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to '''''D'''''iscuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, '''''but not to re-revert it''''', which is the first step to [[WP:EW|edit warring]], a [[WP:Disruptive editing|disruptive activity]] which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]], which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why [[WP:ENGAGE|communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential]]. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the ''status quo ante'' until the consensus as to what to do is reached.

== ARBIPA sanctions reminder ==

Hi Highpeaks, you have said that I gave you an ARBIPA notification in "error". Maybe or maybe not. My memory doesn't go back that far.

But, it doesn't matter why the notification was given. You have been alerted of the ARBIPA discretionary sanctions. So, any admin can examine your ongoing conduct and issue sanctions if they find it appropriate. So I would advise you to be careful. -- [[User:Kautilya3|Kautilya3]] ([[User talk:Kautilya3|talk]]) 14:36, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

:It's simply an alert, so the reason doesn't matter. But Kautilya3 is correct, once you are alerted you can be sanctioned if appropriate. [[User:Doug Weller|<span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span>]] [[User talk:Doug Weller|talk]] 18:43, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

::I have no idea to what comment {{u|Kautilya3}} is referring above but I've been doing a bit of digging around following the recent attempt by you and {{u|King Zebu}} to get a featured article review for [[:India]] and I am a bit concerned about the amount of times you seem to be pushing some sort of heavy pro-Indian bias into articles. I could almost expect that of King Zebu because it seems they have in the past had the approval of {{u|Zuggernaut}}, who had a reputation for being quite extreme in their tendency to promote a Indian nationalist/pro-Hindu agenda, but I know that you have made some decent contributions also. You might want to think twice about neutrality and suchlike before committing to edits that might appear to promote India/Hinduism and the like, or to denigrate that country's neighbours and Islam. For example, there are many crackpot ideas knocking around the Hindutva fraternity - eg: claims that ancient Indians invented [https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/asia-pacific/politicians-insist-india-had-the-internet-thousands-of-years-ago-1.3467467 the internet & satellite technology], [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/28/indian-prime-minister-genetic-science-existed-ancient-times cosmetic surgery & genetics] and [https://www.thenational.ae/world/hindu-nationalists-claim-ancient-sage-invented-spaceships-1.108594 spaceships] - but they just show how much it is the lunatic fringe. I can't stop you believing in such tripe (if indeed you do) but it bothers me that you are wanting to incorporate similar rubbish into articles such as that concerning [[:Pilaf]]. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 11:39, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
