Hi Akash139! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such astypo corrections or reverting obviousvandalism. Any edit that changes themeaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please seeHelp:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.Alexeyevitch^(talk)21:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alexeyevitch, Thank you for your guidance. I am presently updating the pages with awards received by officers of our Regiment who participated in Operation Cactus Lily and Operations Meghdoot. Unfortunately, both were Posthumous awards. Now onwards, I shall stop marking my updates as a "Minor Edit". I shall also be updating related pages later on. In fact, I observe that most Citations on these pages have broken links; I shall in due course correct this as well. Thank you once again for your guidance. Regards, Akash139Akash139 (talk)21:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to bedisruptive and have been or will bereverted.

• If you are engaged in an articlecontent dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or thearticle's talk page, and seekconsensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia'sdispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of therelevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia'sAdministrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia'spolicies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result inloss of editing privileges. Thank you.Capitals00 (talk)04:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The edit is not in any way with a view to dispute or disrupt the article in question; but to bring to light that the present senario at the Line of Actual Control is inconclusive:

1. The Chinese have intruded into the buffer zone and does not qualify as loss of territory.

2. Both the armies have built up in strength on the Line of Actual Control; and would qualify as an inconclusive confrontation.

3. Intermittent military (Corps commander) & diplomatic talks are held at the convenience of both parties from time to time.

If you do wish to maintain your revert of my edit; then do also highlight Indian territories of Aksai Chin & the Shaksgam tract illegally occupied by China. The area is much larger than 2,000 sq km. However, as far as this article on the 2020-21 China-India skirmishes is concerned the "Result: remains inconclusive."

Have a great day.Akash139 (talk)04:55, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for contributing a lot of content to theBattle of Basantar article... but there are also a lot of errors. Will you please change the first-person wording? An article should never say things like "our troops," because Wikipedia tries to keep a neutral tone, and is ready by people in many different countries.

There are also a lot of spelling and style errors (particularly, inappropriate capital letters). I'm willing to help clean this up, but I would appreciate it if you would make the wording more neutral first. Thank you,Jessicapierce (talk)20:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jessicapierce, Thank you for your message. While keeping neutrality in perspective and as requested, I have replaced all of the word "our" with "the". I have left one "our" in the 9 Engr Regt section as it refers to a war diary entry. I have also applied the word "honour" in preference to the modern equivalent "honor"; and it may be left as such.

I shall read the referred article again for other errors and get back to you. Have a great day. Regards,Akash139 (talk)07:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have removed all unnecessary Capital letters. There are some abbreviations which can be left as is; for instance, RCL stands for recoilless gun. You could now review the updates with regard to neutrality & correct capitalization of words and confirm.

Do let me know if there is any other corrections required. Thank you,Akash139 (talk)11:13, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
