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:
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.

Hello BlackOrchidd! Your additions to Talk:2023 Odisha train collision have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 09:46, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello, BlackOrchidd. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Sukama Acharya, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot ( talk) 21:03, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
You've been
whacked with a WikiMinnow..
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you might have done something silly. |
Hello, BlackOrchidd. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Sukama Acharya".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Drmies. I noticed that you recently removed content from Mohan Yadav without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. CSECTION means we shouldn't have separate sections; it's not a license to just blank what seems to be verified content. Drmies ( talk) 18:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I'm The Herald. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of Indian Nobel laureates, 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. The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 11:27, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. The Herald (Benison) ( talk) 10:36, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Narendra Modi, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 07:37, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to The Wire (India). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 15:51, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Wire (India), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Andrew Stone. 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) 06:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
I am not restoring the warning I gave you as per WP:NOTWALLOFSHAME, although it seems you generally do not remove warnings issued to you with reason 'housekeeping'. However, as I understand, you have read the warning and are willing not to debate it as you have understood your mistake. Regards, Exclusive Editor Notify Me! 11:41, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
This user is new to Wikipedia. Please assume good faith, remain civil, and be calm, patient, helpful, and polite while they become accustomed to Wikipedia and its intricacies. |
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Smriti Irani. 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. Exclusive Editor Notify Me! 11:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Narendra Modi. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. It is time you desist making such attacks on others (Vanamonde, F&f) — DaxServer ( t · m · e · c) 09:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User talk:Vanamonde93 has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. If you can not understand something, ask. Don't post inappropriate and gratuitous warning templates. — Spaceman Spiff 08:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
