Your recent editing history at Aranmanai 4 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.

You have violated 3RR with over a half dozen reverts on just a few hours. This is a blockable offense. If you edit this page today I (or another uninvolved admin) will block you to prevent further disruption. I suggest you meet the other editor in page talk and discuss a solution.

@BusterD Thanks for the intervention; I will not edit the page further. Also, I am not the one who forces an unreliable claim onto the page. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 11:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@BusterD Also, I assume the page you are referring to is Aranmanai 4, not Aranmanai, because both pages are different, and I didn't engage in an editing war on the Aranmanai page. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 11:28, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

You are correct about the pagename which I mistyped. Thx. Please discuss this in the thread I've created in the talk page. BusterD (talk) 12:52, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

@BusterD I replied, and I apologize for the delay because it took me some time to find the links. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 13:52, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Given name hatnotes

Paraphrasing a discussion I had with User:Paul 012:

"The reader shouldn't be distracted with information about which is a person's given name and surname before they even read a single word about said person. For names that follow the order most English readers would be familiar with, there is no need for such notes.

In given-name notices, the clarification is mixed in with an explanation on how to refer to people, which needs asking: who is this instruction meant for? If it's for editors (who might be unaware and incorrectly change the text), such messages should be given via in-source comments or edit notices, not hatnotes, which are for the reader. But if it's for the reader, such explanation isn't really necessary as it's deducible from reading the article, provided they know which is the given name. So the only concern would be that a reader unfamiliar with the culture may come upon an article, see references to the first name, and become confused as to which is the given name and surname."

Do you think this applies to, e.g., Tamannaah Bhatia? WBritten (talk) 15:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@WBritten The main reason I added this hatnote was that the article was renamed back and forth over the matter of treating Tamannaah as a mononym. If I remove the hatnote, it's likely that the next day a move request will come, claiming it's a mononym or at least change the title to Tamannaah from Tamannaah Bhatia. Also, in another case, when the hatnote was not present, editors began to rewrite the article using her surname, which contradicts how she is called in real life. These are the difficulties I face with this article, so I have maintained the hatnote. But I am open to your recommendations on this matter. Anoop Bhatia (talk) 16:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

How about using a footnote, like this?
