Hello, I'm Hamtechperson. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Wire (Indian web publication), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ham tech  person  22:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! SerChevalerie (talk) 05:40, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SerChevalerie. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on 2020 Bangalore riots, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! SerChevalerie (talk) 05:41, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice
Doug Weller talk 10:37, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

August 2020
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Swarajya (magazine), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Tayi Arajakate Talk 01:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * For further clarification, see WP:lead which says "" (emphasis mine). As a summary, repeating what is in the article body is perfectly normal. Whether the content you removed is significant enough for the lead and sufficiently summarised I make no comment, but "repetitive sentences" is clearly not a valid reason for removing something from the lead unless the repetition is happening in the lead itself. Nil Einne (talk) 06:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

September 2020
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Agnivesh, you may be blocked from editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 04:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Project notifications
Please see my comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history concerning project notifications. Otr500 (talk) 09:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

December 2020
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Jyotirao Phule. 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. SUN EYE 1 03:11, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * Entirely constructive. The lead wasn't written with MOS:LEAD but drive-by POV pushing infected it. You are free to add sources that completely support the disputed content per WP:VERIFY. But don't use MOS:LEAD to justify POV pushing on lead. Shankargb (talk) 13:44, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alerts
Doug Weller talk 19:35, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Are the DS alerts in one area not valid for another area? You gave one to this editor in August 2020 and giving a second one under a year from the last.. Why? Vikram Vincent 05:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, the above two templates concern DS alerts of the two different conflicting areas than the one about which Doug Weller alerted 6 months ago. Shankargb (talk) 05:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It sounds like Vincenvikram knows they are in different areas already. In answer to Vincentvikram question, yes, DS alerts are only valid for the area they are given in. See Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. The requirement is that people are aware that discretionary sanctions are in place for the specific area covered, not just in general. Being aware that there are discretionary sanctions for electronic cigarettes obviously doesn't mean you are aware they are also discretionary sanctions for the Shakespeare authorship question.

Placenames
Please stop changing the names of places in our articles, to different names to those used as our article titles, as you did at Faizabad district. We use the Common names in English for our articles, not the "Official names", so changing the name breaks internal links to those articles, and is confusing to our readers - thank you - Arjayay (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * The common name does not exist any more. I am not sure whether you visited Ayodhya recently. All the buses display the name as Ayodhya, Railway stations are known as Ayodhya and Ayodhya Cantt and the Airport shows the name Ayodhya International Airport. Only the wokes, libbies, lefties and anti-nationals are in denial mode even after the name change 5 years back. Shankargb (talk) 21:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, "Ayodhya district" is so uncommon in reliable sources (as opposed to your anecdotal evidence] that Google Ngrams doesn't even recognise it. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 09:52, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Faizabad district, you may be blocked from editing. - Arjayay (talk) 21:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * You are the one vandalizing, not allowing the users to make the genuine corrections. I may be forced to lodge a complaint against you. Shankargb (talk) 21:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
