Happy editing! I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 18:38, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you were trying to add a notice to your old account @Unpetitprole but that the edit filter was blocking you so I have added it on your behalf. Hope this helps, DigitalChutney (talk) 18:55, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DigitalChutney: Thank you very much. I have also archived the talk page and added a notice on the talk page, I hope that is fine. —UnpetitproleX (talk) 18:58, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Government Museum and Art Gallery, Chandigarh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sobha Singh. 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.)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Panjab University into Draft:List of Colleges affiliated to Panjab University, Chandigarh. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This is the only time I have copied content, since this is the first draft page I’ve created. I’ll provide attribution for it.

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again.

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.

All talk page discussions get archived after some time. Please look for the archive boxes in the header. If there isn't one, go to the Page menu at the top and you can access subpages.

You have been involved with Talk:Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus for only three days, and you are rehashing all the issues that have been discussed in depth in the past. But you are raising the discussion to high pitch. Please follow the normal decorum required of all participants. You know that the topic is contentious, and you know about ARBIPA sanctions. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 12:06, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the message. Please do not accuse me of “raising the discussion to high pitch.” I’ve been having the discussion at a very normal pitch. It is me on the other hand, who is being threatened with administrative action on the talk page and then these threats are being scrubbed out by the user who threatened me. Thanks again.

Hello, I'm Fowler&fowler. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Kashmir have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. per WP:BRD please make a case for your bold removal of text that has been in the article for many years and thereafter garner a consensus for it. You have also been making remarks about motivations in edit summaries. @RegentsPark, El C, Abecedare, SpacemanSpiff, Vanamonde93, DrKay, Bishonen, and Doug Weller:. Best regards Fowler&fowler«Talk» 17:21, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After deleting large amounts of text and refs (‘BOLD’?), and then completely deleting several sections (‘BOLD’?) per my “excellent suggestion”—for which I also suggest wider consensus (see talk page discussion)—both cases of “removal of text that has been in the article for many years”, this talk page post with ping to eight admins. UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, BRD states “Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and only if you cannot immediately refine it.” But your history of reverting my edits only to then immediately follow up with edits that either follow the same reasoning, or are simple modifications—some to shorten, others to expand my words (but only after first reverting my edit), something that in all possibility is not intentional or in bad faith, has me tired. The usual follow up with addition of refs that support what I am, and then you are, trying to say, is much appreciated. I do not want to point fingers, I’m assuming good faith and ruling out a problem but if there is indeed a problem then please do message me here on my talk page, but preferably without pinging one, two or eight administrators. I’m only trying to improve the articles, which is overwhelmingly clear from my contributions. And judging from your edits, you’re also trying to do the same, which is why I’m forgoing a post on your talk page. UnpetitproleX (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have reinstated your edit, which I thought was well done. I disagree with both of you that the history before the Sikh Empire was unnecessary. But I didn't mind that content to be gone because it was poor. If and when I get time, I will be writing new content for the sections that got deleted. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:16, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

+1.

And the deletion was out-of-process. Unpetitprole was explicit that such a deletion must be guided by local consensus. TrangaBellam (talk) 12:58, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And might I point out, it all snowballed from this rather minor and uncontroversial edit of mine (minor in my opinion, open to examination by others).

In any case, I’d be willing to argue in favour of keeping the article limited largely to 19th century and after, if such a discussion takes place (on the talk page of the article, not here on my talk page). UnpetitproleX (talk) 14:02, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a warning, I think FPC is in one of its slow periods. I've had a lot of images fail that really surprised me, and I think it's just everyone's a bit too busy to vote on everything.

Don't feel discouraged. This happens every so often. Best thing to do is just make a list of things to renominate, and... not stop your nominations, because FPC being dead doesn't help anything - but slow them up a bit.

Hope that helps! Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.8% of all FPs} 16:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Adam Cuerden: thanks for the words of encouragement, hope you're having a good day! Might I ask though what is this particularly about? Have I made too many nominations? There are currently four active nominations by me (two of which I made today, one earlier nom closes in a few hours and I don’t plan on making any new ones until half of the current ones are closed) which I will admit might be too many. I tend to nominate pictures at once, will try to make them gradually over time. Thanks, UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:04, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, I see what you meant. Sorry, thought this was a “warning” warning, I understand now that its meant to be guidance rather than censure. Your advice is much appreciated. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And encouragement. As I said, it's a slow month, you're fairly new to FPC, and I don't want you getting discouraged, you know? Sorry if I phrased it badly. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.8% of all FPs} 17:16, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello user, UnpetitproleX
I have noticed that you reverted my infobox article that originally had crossed post-work 5 edits, i believe this edit was not only biased but a unformal way of reverting it.
You could've told the moderators or administrators of the Wiki article atleast. NameIsShaheer (talk) 16:54, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @NameIsShaheer: the reason I removed the infobox, as I state in my edit summary, was that both the population figures and the ethnic groups column were incorrect/insufficient. Looking at it again, the countries column was also incorrect, and there was also a column containing the text “demographics1_info2 = [[Pashto]]<br/>{{small|Minorities: [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Urdu]], [[Hindko]], [[Balochi language|Balochi]], [[Ormuri]], [[Parachi language|Parachi]], [[Pashayi languages]], [[Nuristani languages]]}}” that did not appear because it did not have a column title, I believe it might be leftover from wherever you copied the infobox from. If you would like to add the infobox, I would suggest you make a post on Talk:Kashmir. Regards, UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:39, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note, you do need to update your own vote too. Also, you might want to drop a talk page message to all the voters. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.8% of all FPs} 22:44, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have recently been editing India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an 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 special powers 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 practice;

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.

If you wish to nuke an article covering 3000 casualties, hanging by the coattails of WP:N is obviously not the way to go about it. You need to check the levels of coverage in contemporary newspapers, emphasize on the non-unique nature of the events, and write a foolproof nomination statement. I sympathize with your stance but it is wise to accept the blizzard and move on. TrangaBellam (talk) 21:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. As I said on the nom, it was foolish of me to not initiate a discussion on the talk page prior. I do plan on creating the train massacres article, and merge it into that. You are welcome to suggest literature that deals specifically with the trains. Thanks. UnpetitproleX (talk) 21:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is written in summary style, with multiple reliable sources to determine due weight. A large section written entirely with one source, one that’s not widely cited nor finds its content in (m)any tertiary sources, is highly WP:UNDUE in a compact overview article about an ethnic group. UnpetitproleX (talk) 09:39, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At best it warrants not more than one line summarising what the nature article says, though even that may be too much. UnpetitproleX (talk) 09:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
