editHi ParvatPrakash, kindly do not revert my changes at the Mahavira Wiki Page beacuse of your personal reasons that you've been struggling through last few months. The old image used is a very well known image of Mahavir Swami. If I wanted I could also have removed another Shwetambar tradition image from the page but I am a secular Jain scholar from Canada. Just refining Jainism for people here. Kindly do not spread sectarian supremerism. Peace. (talk • contribs) 07:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Any reverts are because of loss of information produced by your edits. Images are unimportant as long as they indicate the same person. However, deleting other information that you don't believe in is not acceptable. I'll keep your image as you say, but deleting any other information is vandalism.

- ParvatPrakash, as described in bold text by the introduction of the policy you've linked to, accusations of vandalism (malicious / intentional damage to the encyclopedia) are probably wrong here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 08:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I could have been wrong. Just noticed the details. However, User:Dennis Dijkstra deleted details about the spouse and children of Mahavira. These changes were without references. They seemed to be vandalising edits to me. So, to not engage in edit war with the user, I thought to keep the image same as suggested by them. However, unexplained deletion of information seemed unnecessary to me. I could very well be wrong here though. ParvatPrakash (talk) 08:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
I tried to discuss the reason with the user on their talk page. I have been trying to do that since yesterday. They keep changing the page without responding to my message on their talk page. I also warned them multiple times, but they did not respond with an answer. I have warned the said user over 5 times since yesterday.
Decline reason:
Once you have achieved consensus for your changes on the article talk page, but not before, you can ask for an unblock. Yamla (talk) 09:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Hi ParvatPrakash, the correct place for such a discussion is the article's talk page, and you can still edit that page. Please create a new section there explaining your preference. You can then use {{Please see}} at User talk:Be Jain to invite Be Jain to the discussion. I'd be surprised if this doesn't result in discussion, but if it really doesn't and you are really ignored, see WP:DISCFAIL for a helpful essay describing a way to proceed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:53, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: In your message on the article's talk page, please focus on the content. Do not directly address the other user, simply explain why you prefer your revision and why the other version is not acceptable. If possible, cite a policy or guideline supporting your view. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much. I didn't know about this policy. Still learning as I go. I'll keep in mind to discuss difference on the article's talk page instead of the user's. I think I just swayed cause I was warning them for the other disruptive edits they were making. Thanks again. ParvatPrakash (talk) 06:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- All good, no worries. Thank you very much for starting the discussion at Talk:Rishabhanatha#Image_of_the_subject; this is a very good start. Citing guideline sections, looks perfect to me. Of course, there may be disagreement about whether the guideline actually supports your image choice, and if you remain in disagreement, you may need a third opinion or a RfC. But that's not something to be done at the start, that's just an option one should keep in mind for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 06:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
