Aksai Chin[edit]

Namaste! I saw you edited Ladakh recently. Yesterday I created a page called List of locations in Aksai Chin, and I want to include India-related linguistic information and perspectives in the page. I speak Mandarin Chinese but don't speak any of the local languages in Aksai Chin. Is there any kind of database of geographical locations in India that would include official Indian names (Hindi, Urdu, etc) for minor locations in Aksai Chin? I want to include more Chinese characters/Indian/Pakistan/Tibet/Uyghur/etc linguistic information in this list page in parentheses next to the names of locations. Our coverage of the List of rocks on Mars is more detailed than our pages on Aksai Chin, and I think that's bad. Do you know any users who would be interested in this topic? See also our discussions on Talk:List of locations in Aksai Chin. Thanks for any help.Geographyinitiative (talk) 15:18, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm Vif12vf. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Karnataka Janata Paksha, 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 the tutorial on citing sources, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Adding Earth to maps[edit]

Please stop adding Earth to the list of maps. I can't find it at the moment, but there is a discussion somewhere as to whether we even need to add Asia in addition to India, so adding Earth is going even further - Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 16:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok done...but I feel it’s better if we add Asia to all major Cities/Capitals Karnatakapolatics (talk) 16:45, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a strong opinion about that, but you could be wasting your time if it is decided that Asia is unneeded - Best wishes - Arjayay (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of BL Santhosh[edit]

Hello, Karnatakapolatics,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Lefcentreright and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, BL Santhosh for deletion, because it seems to be an article that has been already decided by a [decision] to be unsuitable for inclusion.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Lefcentreright}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

March 2020[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at 2020 coronavirus pandemic in India. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Kautilya3 (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions alert[edit]

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.

Nkon21, the user has been repeatedly warned about this but refuses to acknowledge it, instead simply choosing to delete such helpful warnings and remarks from their Talk page. I myself warned the user about this just recently. SerChevalerie (talk) 17:15, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Bangalore, you may be blocked from editing. When you revert, provide an edit summary. You have not given a reason why your preferred version is a better fit for the article. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 16:39, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

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: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very simply, you're not welcome to edit at Wikipedia, because your efforts, specifically looking at changes you made to Prajakta Koli, were stolen from other sources, ~~and the net result of your edits smell like undisclosed paid editing, which has been a problem at many articles, but also at the article on Prajakta Koli.~~ Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through your edits a bit more closely, I'm scaling back the suggestion you are a paid editor, however if you are, you need to disclose that, per WP:PAID. That said, your copyright violations were egregious, and any efforts to get unblocked are going to require you to read our copyright policy and explain in your own words what was problematic about edits like this and this. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 13:31, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for these edits which violate the copyright policies. I will ensure the edits are not copy-pasted, Instead are written by myself in a correct grammatical form. Further on I will ensure that I will add more citations to my edits. Karnatakapolatics (talk) 14:13, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
