[edit] 3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Ragib (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Since you just broke it (including the anon ip), I'll report you. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


There is no excuse for reverting valid references. And mere discussion does not allow you to break 3RR.

Sure, I'm including that IP in my report.

So what if you put a dispute tag? You are blanking references.

There is no reason to remove anything that is supported by multiple biographies of Tagore from reliable sources. There is no claim to the contrary that is supported by anything. All reverts, even partial ones, count, and there is no justification (unless you are reverting obvious vandalism). Your removal of biographic information supported by references from Tagore's biographies is simply disruption, and I hope you will not repeat such disrupting behavior once your upcoming ban ends. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 07:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Dear Ragib, You seem to be an "involved admin". Wikipedia is NOT a biography (which may be authorised or unauthorised). It is an ENCYCLOPEDIA - where every fact asserted is to be Factual and verifiable. I am not in the least concerned with literary biograpies, the Banglapedia ref I cited was from ENCYCLOPEDIA (not biography) - and YOU deleted IT in favour of some dubious biograpies. Sroy1947 (talk) 07:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
It is precisely because I was involved that I haven't exercised any of my admin privileges, and I WILL NOT invoke them here in any way. I have provided only a tiny sample of references supporting Tagore family's ancestry in the talk page for Rabindranath Tagore. You may refer to that, and figure out which one you'd claim to be "dubious". :) Good luck in that wild goose chase. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 07:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ScarianCall me Pat! 10:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I have already replied briefly where Ragib reported me, There is now a substantial dialogue going on with the User:Ragib who flagged me on the Talk:page of Rabindranath Tagore other editors are involved too. I deny that I violated the 3RR in letter AND Spirit, the violation if any is technical oversight concerned with counting the DISPUTE tags I added to the article which Ragib deleted unilaterally without discussion I had initiated at 1RR stage. I am also now stating that RAGIB is citing concocted sources for his position - as for example Samaren Roy p.88."

Decline reason: "3RR is converned only with who is or isnt edit warring and disputing a project. Discuss the disputed content on the talk page and reach an agreement rather than revert warring. Its neither cool nor acceptable. When someone warns you that your conduct is wrong its a good idea to pause and disuss rather then ignore them — Spartaz Humbug! 11:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.


Wow, how am I "concocting sources"???? Does that book NOT contain a page 88 with a reference to Tagore family's Pirali Brahmin origins? Please stop calling other editors liars ... this is a personal attack. For reference, the book in question is "Calcutta: Society and Change 1690-1990 By Samaren Roy", ISBN 0595342302. What is "concocted" here ... the book or the reference? --Ragib (talk) 11:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
