Recent edit on India Pakistan Standoff

Donner60 could you please recheck the edit you did. You see, most of the edit which I did was arrange the information. For instance I moved 'tank firing' part which was placed under airstrike to the border Skrimishes part. Similarly under the airstrike subsection, some one wrote that Pakistan dropped 'unguided missile'. The source was India today and I checked the source but it did not say anything related to unguided bombs.

Moreover I removed content which had Business Insider info because it was not necessary there. The news were reporting their own point of view on the situation. Now If we go adding any news point of view content in the page then that would be going off the track.

So please do re-check into the edit where you reverted my edit. Thanks. Alibaloshi12 (talk) 02:56, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. Certainly we do not want a solely opinion piece used as a reference. I will look into this further in the next hour or two and post a further reply when I have checked the sources in the article and done a little further personal research into the latest news. As information, in most cases where there are credible differing reports, if the conflicting reports are from sources which appear reliable, both positions should be stated. Because this is a current news event where facts may evolve, the only conclusion that could be drawn from the conflicting versions is that the most accurate version is to be determined.

Okay I understand. Thank you for your reply. Alibaloshi12 (talk) 03:08, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

I see that there are many new edits since I have left my message. I will review all of these as best I can and report back to you about the current status of the article and perhaps what may be done from here. I just saw all these changes. If I can not keep up with these or find the current status of the reliable reports, I may recommend that you go ahead with editing while keeping the principles of neutrality and verifiability in mind. Thank you for your patience. I will strike my message below in any case in recognition of your good faith approach to this. Donner60 (talk) 04:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Most of the Business Insider article appears to be the opinion of an academic who the publication consulted and perhaps the author of the article. Sprinkled in the article are some apparent facts, possibly from Reuters which is cited at the top. Even these may or may not be the final version. The Wikipedia article has been changed many times with text being added and deleted. Contradictory statements of fact, possibly from various sources but some seem to be made without citations, are being made to the article. Non-neutral points of view seem to be added and taken out and words are changed that should not be. It would take an administrator and perhaps an expert to sort this out. In time, I suppose it will be. In the meantime, if you really want to get involved in this mess of an article, I ask you to be aware of the Wikipedia policies that I have mentioned. I will not edit it unless it comes up to me as a current change and I am online and I see a clear reason in line with Wikipedia policy to make a change. All of that seems unlikely. Please maintain your good attitude and even temper and credit to you for that. As I noted, I struck the original message to you. Donner60 (talk) 04:35, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Donner60 Thank you for your reply. And I don't think there is any need to change the article anymore since the page is locked and other expirenced editors have arrived and they have made the article better now. So I believe it is fine now.
Also thank you for your advice. I will try to be more neutral from now on and will try to improve my editing in line with the Wikipedia rules and regulations. Alibaloshi12 (talk) 10:54, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you recently removed content from Princely states of Pakistan without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Kautilya3 (talk) 10:43, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donner60. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to 2019 India–Pakistan standoff seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 02:43, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

I am striking the above message because the user was in good faith in making the changes and in seeking assistance. This is complicated by the fact this is a current event and there are continuing changes to the article. I will add some comments for this user in a short period of time. I think that his approach shows that he is likely to proceed with the applicable policies in mind. Donner60 (talk) 04:14, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan discretionary sanctions

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
