Sinhalese people

Regarding your recent edits, please maybe post the url the edit summary (if it's appropriate, reliable), so we can take a look. DivineAlpha (talk) 21:48, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Sure i actually found the information from the various sourced data on another Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Sinhalese The article shows on all its sourced studies that in common the sinhalese were shown to not have strong genetic ties to the indigenous populations of sri lanka. Therefore when this was stated in the article i found it misleading and as a result i deleted it howvever others seem to find this incorrect, which i am quite amazed at.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Sinhalese people. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Andrew (talk) 23:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for any inconvieneince caused and thank you for the infomation. I am new to editing on wikipedia sites and i am very grateful for your help. Whitemobile (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Not a problem. Becoming aware of, and then sticking with, Wikipedia guidelines and policies is a good way to be effective here. It also keeps things comparably stress free. Best of luck with future editing. Cheers Andrew (talk) 00:26, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
