- You are not allowed to use large quotations in "quote=" parameter. It should not exceed more than 25 words in general. If you have questions reply here, not on my talk page. Aman Kumar Goel 14:37, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Aman.kumar.goel If that is the case, then the quotes can be shortened. You could have just notified but still needs to be verified if what you suggested is accurate. There was no need to revert. MehmoodS (talk) 14:41, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- There was a clear need to revert. You are removing "Maratha victory" despite being warned not to remove it. It is staying there for years and you can't remove it without gaining consensus first. Aman Kumar Goel 14:44, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Aman.kumar.goel There is no policy that states that something that has been there for years cannot be corrected. The information earlier had false quotes and I added the correct one which you reverted. Also its up to you and the previous user to reach concensus as there is discussion already in place that you haven't even taken consideration.MehmoodS (talk) 14:49, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- You were not correcting anything but only modifying according what you wanted to by using a misleading edit summary. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 15:09, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- surprised that you are here as part of the discussion now. Interesting. It was clearly a correction as the quotes you added were false quotes which were part of the war during initial state and not what the end result was in 1782. Therefore, the quotes you used were definitely misleading. MehmoodS (talk) 15:13, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- You are forgetting I left a message here about 8 hours ago. A source already existed on infobox which says "This period also coincided with the First Anglo-Maratha War, which was settled only in 1782 with a Maratha victory over the British and their local allies.". How you could "correct" anything by misrepresenting the source? Abhishek0831996 (talk) 15:27, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- You need to take such source such as that of Barbara West through WP:RSN to get opinion about its reliability because its not as Barbara A. West holds a Ph.D. in social anthropology from the University of Rochester in New York. She is not an academicians historian. I didn't even look at her citation earlier due to above reason as it wasn't worthy to look at as compared to other citations by actual historians such as M.S. Naravane, Richard Ernest Dupuy, Gay M. Hammerman, Grace P. Hayes, James C. Bradford. And the correct and misrepresented quotes by these historians were added as correction.MehmoodS (talk) 15:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
