Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:38, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that your edits and activity have been very focussed on a narrow section of articles and topics. This is not a problem per se, and your edits don't seem problematic from what I checked, but please be aware of WP:SPA, especially the relevant policies on advocacy and  conflicts of interest.

 * @Actualcpscm, I'm not pro Singh, if that's the impression you got. Some editors have expressed concern over the article's alleged near exclusive use of Indian sources and adhering solely to the Indian government POV. Others insist that's not a problem.
 * I've merely tried to help both sides find "neutral" sources (which neither side can claim to be biased) to support their statements (whatever they may be) and in doing so have been labelled as someone with a pro Sikh bias and whatnot.
 * For example, when someone uses a source known on RSN for its unreliability and I inform them of this, they ignore my reference to RSN and accuse me of being anti-India (and do this multiple times despite me calmly reiterating what I said). This battleground mentality is quite irritating, and is the reason I've been avoiding Wikipedia recently. Solblaze (talk) 15:13, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I have neither mentioned nor implied anything relating directly to that debate. You bringing that matter up in an unrelated discussion is what creates the perceived "battleground mentality"; if you assume that everything you encounter on Wikipedia relates to an unresolved dispute, then it might seem like it's everywhere. Rest assured that this is not the case. If you reread my original comment carefully, you'll find a much more direct concern with regards to single-purpose editing and accounts. That does not imply any stance on the debate you see it in. Actualcpscm (talk) 23:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying you implied that, which is why I said if. Solblaze (talk) 11:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
