September 2019

Hello, I'm DeluxeVegan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. Please see WP:INDICSCRIPT, which very clearly states that non-Latin scripts are not to be used in the leads of India-related articles. Further edit-warring may result in the loss of your editing privileges. DeluxeVegan (talk) 18:19, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

ARBIPA sanctions alert

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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Azad Kashmir, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop making edits representing national positions like this. Let me remind you once again that India and Pakistan pages have discretionary sanctions in effect. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC) Kautilya3 (talk) 14:19, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to use disruptive, inappropriate or hard-to-read formatting, as you did at Mauritius, you may be blocked from editing. There is a Wikipedia Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. You were warned earlier about WP:INDICSPRINT. David Biddulph (talk) 15:29, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

David Biddulph, WP:INDICSCRIPT doesn't apply to either Muzaffarabad or Mauritius as these places are not in India. Though of course, I agree with your reverts: Hindi was out of place in both cases. – Uanfala (talk) 09:42, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Mauritius. Yet again you have violated WP:INDICSCRIPT. David Biddulph (talk) 16:04, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Malala Yousafzai. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Harshil ^{want to talk?} 20:55, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 18:14, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Reactions to the 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ST47 (talk) 19:43, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Notices related to Syrian Civil War Sanctions

Hello, as noted on the edit notice and talk page of Reactions to the 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria, this page is under a WP:1RR restriction and sanctions may be applied to editors who are disruptive in this area. You have violated 1RR as follows: Original Revert 1 Revert 2. Accordingly, you have been blocked under the WP:GS/SCW&ISIL#1RR general sanctions. Please also note well the following message:

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ping me.

Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Please read the definition before you return from your block.
