Welcome!

Hello, Hercules298, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...
 * ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
 * ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
 * ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
 * ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
 * ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type  on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Your recent editing history at Pashtuns shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.AnupamTalk 01:32, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Economy of Pakistan. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. ''Stop re-adding the 435B number. No source says 435B, and you doing the math based on an off-hand comment is improper synthesis. Alyo  (chat·edits)'' 01:51, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Block
 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 60 hours for edit warring, poor commmunication (through edit summaries only). Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

Hi. During yesterday's edit war, a user who had reverted you stated in their edit summary:


 * I have initated a RFC on the talk page of article as is standard for wikipedia dispute resolutions. Please let that finish before adding questionable information. Thank you — 05:06, 23 February 2022

This refernced a request for comment (WP:RFC), that was initiated on the article talk page (direct link). Yet the edit summary you've used has nothing to do with this RfC. Instead, it stated:


 * both official and estimated data are attached. The following information is reliable — 06:53, 23 February 2022

Now, granted, the user cited above, who also brought this matter to my attention (and who is also new, weird), didn't link to anything, like to WP:RFC or to WP:DR (not to mention WP:ONUS), but you have been warned about edit warring (WP:EW) earlier in the month. Do you not understand that talk pages exist? Because it looks like you've never used one before. Not your own user talk page, here, or article talk pages in which you edit war, like Talk:Economy of Pakistan. This conduct isn't sustainable in the long-run. Being unresponsive like that isn't sustainable in the long-run.

As a result of these problems, I've blocked (WP:BLOCK) you from editing for 60 hours. The expectation from now on is for you to engage in discussion on relevant the article talk pages (like Talk:Economy of Pakistan) when there is an editing dispute. Further failure to do so will mean that you've effectively forfeited your position. I know this is quite a bit to take in, but hopefully, by the time this block expires, you'd have caught up. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Point 5353, 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) 17:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hercules298! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Point 5353 several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at Talk:Point 5353, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 17:23, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Point 5353. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 06:06, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. HistoryofIran (talk) 16:39, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Punjabis, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Meters (talk) 08:30, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hamza-Shahbaz-Pakistani-Politician.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Hamza-Shahbaz-Pakistani-Politician.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 14:52, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pashtuns, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kurram. 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) 09:04, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Pashtuns. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 25stargeneral (talk) 20:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
