Semi-protected edit request on 16 May 2024[edit]

What I am saying Liu1126, is that I want to change the article Kartikeya from its current version to this old version here: [[1]]. That is my edit request now. 2409:40F3:D:CA92:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is version 1215149709 of Kartikeya. 2409:40F3:D:CA92:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:14, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the changes you're proposing seem to relate to images and spelling, you might do better off to suggest them specifically, so it's easier to discuss them. —C.Fred (talk) 04:21, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I want to revert back this article to that previous version, that's all I want to do now. 2409:40F3:D:CA92:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to revert it back to this particular version 1215149709 of Kartikeya. 2409:40F3:D:CA92:8000:0:0:0 (talk) 04:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, as C.Fred said, explicitly suggest the changes you want made. A lot of edits have happened since the version you're talking about, including some that are administrative actions and standard cleanup which obviously shouldn't be reverted.

Additionally, your behaviour of referring back to this removed edit request and pinging me who responded to that request makes it look like that you are the same person as the IP who originally posted that request, who in turn was blocked for block evasion. If you are the same person, I recommend you stop IP hopping and make a sincere unblock request from your original account. Liu1126 (talk) 09:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those changes are to change Kartikeya's photo in the introduction template to the painting by Raja Ravi Varma and add that his abode is Mount Kailasha, his planet is Mars, his consort is Devasena, his sibling is Ashokasundari, his symbol is cock, his festivals are Vaikasi Vishaka, Surasamharam, Kartika Purnima, with spaces all between them, removing the words supposedly and credited with where it is mentioned he gets his Vel from his mother Parvati and he kills Asuras and Asuris like Tarakasura and injures and saved Surapadma and all these changes are to be added to this article now. 2409:4072:193:D5BF:C273:C6F8:A714:FDE5 (talk) 07:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made my Unblock Request from that account but others wrongly declined it, saying that i am corrupting Wikipedia but i am improving and correcting Wikipedia in good faith only, so i want to be unblocked, so someone please unblock me now. 2409:4072:193:D5BF:C273:C6F8:A714:FDE5 (talk) 07:41, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kartikeya and Devasena's martial status[edit]

The Mahabharata mentions explicitly in the Vana Parva that Kartikeya married Devasena and they gave birth to many children, so he is not a bachelor and a misogynist at all, so please change that now itself. 2409:4072:193:D5BF:C273:C6F8:A714:FDE5 (talk) 08:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
