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 as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

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.

Hello, I'm Chaotic Enby. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Operation Meghdoot have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Hello Chaotic Enby, Thank you for your message regarding Operation Meghdoot. I am presently updating the page with the award received by an officer of our Regiment who participated in this Operation. Unfortunately, it was a Posthumous awards. I have checked the Wikipedia page for Operation Meghdoot via Google search and find that is has updated correctly. You may review the same.

Hello Pickersgill-Cunliffe, thank you for the welcome message. I look forward to contributing constructively to the articles I edit and create related to India and its ground forces.

May 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant 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's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss 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]

Battle of Basantar

Hello, thank you for contributing a lot of content to the Battle 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]

Do let me know if there are any other corrections required. Akash139 (talk) 11:15, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate your response, and your attention to improving the article. I'll take a look at it again soon. Cheers, Jessicapierce (talk) 17:12, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
