Welcome!

Hello, Melechha, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Battle of Umberkhind, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Arab conquest of Kaikan moved back to the article space

Hello Garudam. I wanted to let you know that I reversed your draftification of Arab conquest of Kaikan because the article was created in 2021. Article that are not new (within about 90 days of publishing) should not be draftified without prior consensus at Articles for deletion, per the result of this request for comments. In the future, please check that an article is new before moving it to the draft space. SilverLocust 💬 23:29, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, well yeah I should have gone through that comment before boldly moving the article into draftspace. Happy editing. Garudam^Talk! 23:59, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Battle of Bhutala, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Turushka. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gunpowder weapons in the Bahmani Sultanate

Hi, I see that you sorted this AfD in a large number of sort lists, most of which have absolutely nothing to do with this subject (e.g., "People, Academics and educators, Artists, Authors, Lists of people, Arts, Academic journals, Bibliographies, Visual arts, Architecture, Photography, Bilateral relations, Ethnic groups, Events," and others). This just clogs up peoples' watchlists and is unlikely to attract much discussion from knowledgeable editors. Please be more selective in future. --Randykitty (talk) 23:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

I see @Randykitty I would be removing AfD from those unnecessary lists. Garudam ^Talk! 04:58, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

I am trying to figure out the argument about the template

Here[1]. It seems to be part of the reason JJB was topic banned. I am NOT saying you are wrong, just that I don't understand it. Doug Weller talk 13:50, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, yeah, Doug. And by JJB (JJP?), I guess you meant JingJongPascal? Correct me if I’m wrong. To put it briefly, the argument was about the removal of inline and AfD templates, which are some of the reasons they are now topic-banned. Garudam ^Talk! 14:21, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

JJP. I don't understand the contradictory template. Doug Weller talk 14:28, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Here on Talk:List of wars involving Magadha#Gupta_Empire, I explained how scholars disagree on the Guptas' connection to Magadha. The contradictory template was added because it conflicted with the Origin of the Gupta dynasty. Garudam ^Talk! 15:32, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AdityaNakul

Please don't file reports at SPI free-form. Instead, follow the instructions at WP:SPI on filing a report. You made a complete mess of the above report, some of which I've fixed, but still isn't structurally correct. I'll let a clerk deal with it. Also, we don't do CUs of IPs, so don't request them (I removed that report completely), and we also don't block IPs unless they've edited recently. The two you included haven't edited in a long time.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
