== Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion ==

[[File:Information icon4.svg|link=|25px|alt=Information icon]]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at [[Wikipedia:Administrators’ noticeboard/Edit warring]] regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia’s policy on [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit warring]]. The thread is [[Wikipedia:Administrators’ noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Joebrans reported by User:Belbury (Result: )]]. <!–Template:An3-notice–> Thank you. [[User:Belbury|Belbury]] ([[User talk:Belbury|talk]]) 13:18, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I’m Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Biryani, but you didn’t provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it’s important that article content be verifiable. If you’d like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi Joebrans! I noticed that you’ve made several edits in order to restore your preferred version of Biryani. The impulse to repeatedly undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure that you’re aware of Wikipedia’s edit warring policy. Repeatedly undoing the changes made by other users in a back-and-forth fashion like this is disallowed, even if you feel what you’re doing is justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages in order to try to reach a consensus with the other editors involved. If you are unable to come to an agreement at Talk:Biryani, please use one of the dispute resolution options that are available in order to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of repeatedly reverting other editors’ changes can help you avoid getting drawn into edit wars. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 12:14, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Biryani, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources to see how to add references to an article. Hi, thanks for trying to add sources (even if unformatted), but neither of them actually said that Arab traders brought the dish to Kerala, so they are not usable for this purpose. I’ve actually no idea why you are so insistent on the word “Kerala” as “Malabar Coast” describes the same bit of coast, but since you seem to prefer it, we can use that. We must however continue to say “Calicut” since that is what it was called at the time, and the source uses it. I do hope this is clear, as your editing is now verging on WP:DISRUPTIVE and edit-warring, which is forbidden on Wikipedia.
