Disambiguation link notification for July 28
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indian National Congress, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PDP. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Bharatiya Janata Party, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:35, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello @Kautilya. All edits that I have done have been counted by myself personally. They are minor edits. If you allow me to explain I can explain every edit, then of course it is your freedom & I'm sure you'll change them back or let me edit it once again.

1. Changed Lok Sabha MPs composition as, no Lok Sabha seat is vacant at the moment. All 543 seats are occupied, so I had just corrected the info on page which claimed 540 seats occupied & 3 vacant. If I'm wrong, for this or any edit I'm ready to face action. FofS&E (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
For edits 2 & 3. Edited MLAs from 1384 to 1387. Edited MLCs from 167 to 170.
I have visited Wikipedia page of each and every state's Legislative Assembly & Legislative council and calculated the totals before making edit on BJP page. Where data was not clear to me, I even visited government website for information. Please point out if & where I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, for this or any edit I'm ready to face action. FofS&E (talk) 16:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
For last edit of MLC occupied & vacant seats also, I went to all 6 states' legislative council wiki pages and website of legislative council for 2 States for correct data. Afterwards I edited with the data available. You can check. If I'm wrong, for this or any edit I'm ready to face action. FofS&E (talk) 16:29, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
You might have reverted my edits because in 3 of 4 edits I have increased the tally of the party, hence it might be suspicious activity. But all these changes were due, so what could I do? I have made similar edits on BJP, NDA, UPA & INC pages. And I'm open to scrutiny for my edits on all 4 pages. I have made edits with publicly available data. Problem is that I don't know how to add reference at some places in an article, like infobox. So I didn't do it. All edits were made in good faith with the best of my knowledge and info available to me. If I'm wrong, for this or any edit I'm ready to face action. And I promise to not use Wikipedia except for reading if my edits & behaviour are found to be false & malicious.
I rest my case, Kautilya. Now it's up to you to judge.
Awaiting your reply, Thanks! FofS&E (talk) 16:34, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Regarding INC edits too, I have the same explanation for editing members number.
As for split section of party, all these 8 parties have split from INC and each of them is still active and have fought elections recently. FofS&E (talk) 16:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- You may be entirely right, but that doesn't matter to me. Nor does it matter to Wikipedia. What matters is WP:INTEGRITY. The content and the source should match. You can't change one without the other. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:46, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- If there are too many sources to list etc., then you can write a detailed explanation on the article talk page, with WP:RS, and reference that explanation in your edit summary. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 16:52, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
If it doesn't matter to you, then what was the point in reverting my edits? If it mattered to Wikipedia, some wikibot might have reverted or suspended me. All the changes I made is accessible for all. Prove me wrong then undo or suspend me. But without proving my edits are wrong or malicious, my edits should not be reverted. I request you to let me edit them again with the latest & correct data.
Thanks FofS&E (talk) 16:53, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
It took me many hours to make these changes and I made these changes only after proper research. FofS&E (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

editPlease see WP:NOTNEWS and WP:UNDUE. There is no need to update President's bio for every dignitary that meets her. Use your discretion in judging what is a significant outcome and only add those that will be relevant for a reader 10 years later. See WP:LASTING Venkat TL (talk) 16:34, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Presidency section already had information about a similar visit by parliamentarians from a different country. On that basis, I included Solih's visit because his visit seems to be more important than some parliamentarians, as he is the President/Head of State of a neighbouring country. I had also provided sources. If I'm wrong please talk with me here on my page or article page please, instead of reverting my edit.

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.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

Thank you for contacting me. As the notice says in the very beginning that this notice does not imply that there are any issues with my contributions to date, I wanted to know the purpose of this notice on my page. Am I banned or not supposed to edit any articles related to these 3 countries? I'm sorry if my question is silly. I'm a mobile user, new user with knowledge of simple English only. For many words I have to use dictionary or translation services online in order to reply & understand recieved messages. I try to make pages better with latest available information, and I mostly edit articles related to India & Indians only. I don't think I've ever made any edits to pages related to Afghanistan or Pakistan yet. To avoid being sanctioned, I'm ready to stop editing pages related to these 3 countries for specified time, if I'm told to do so in case any mistake made by me.
~ FofS&E (talk) 07:58, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- No, you aren't banned or anything. The article talk page mentions these sanctions, and anyone editing the article or talk page can be alerted. I need to give you the BLP one as well (covers recently deceased as well as living). Note that labels such as Hinduphobia etc. need good reliable sources. Also, usually pointless or worse to reply to old posts. Doug Weller talk 08:24, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Should have added that I've used the Ds/aware template to show I'm alerted to relevant sanctions. Doug Weller talk 08:26, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
I don't know how to use the template. But, yes I'm alerted by you. Thanks FofS&E (talk) 09:39, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

November 2022
editAround a month ago, you made a number of edits on the article Hanuman Jayanti, arguing that "jayanti" refers to the birthday of one who is deceased, while "janmotsav", which I assume is a corruption of the Sanskrit "janmotsava", refers to the birthday of someone alive. Whatever your religious beliefs on the existence of deities may be, Hanuman Jayanti is the standard and most common name of the festival, and hence is not to be modified. Furthermore, your statement is false: jayantī (जयंती).—f (S) The day, or the anniversary of it, on which the Hindu deity assumed an incarnation. You are advised to familiarise yourself with such terms if you intend to edit them. Please do not allow your religious beliefs to affect the objectivity of this website. Thank you. Chronikhiles (talk) 08:59, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your message here. This was new knowledge for me too about a couple years ago. It is not about my religious or personal beliefs. You can see Google or Wikipedia to read about Chiranjivis. If a God is mentioned in this list, then Janmotsav is the correct term instead of Jayanti since they are still believed to be alive. I'm adding some links here just for reference. These are only for showing why I made the change from Jayanti to Janmotsav, and of course I'm not going to edit the article, just to convince you if possible. :)
None of these are op-ed or primary source or unreliable to my knowledge. Furthermore, many articles mention both Jayanti & Janmotsav. I'm not an expert and I only suggest to use both Jayanti & Janmotsav if only using Janmotsav would be unacceptable to you. The article's name can still be Hanuman Jayanti, but I believe Janmotsav should also be included in the introduction & body.
Thanks
