December 2017[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Category:Jammu, 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. Kautilya3 (talk) 03:54, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your category work[edit]

There's been a concern raised about the categories you're creating and the high speed of the creations. Can you please stop (for now) and explain your aims? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 04:14, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ARBIPA sanctions alert[edit]

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

categorising image files[edit]

Please don't add categories (especially non-existant ones) to image files for files which are from Commons like you did at File:Largest Red Deer.jpg. This just creates a local copy which leads to difficulties if people are linking to the Commons file. Nthep (talk) 14:09, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Citations[edit]

One of the key Wikipedia requirements is to be able to cite reliable sources. Adding categories to bypass the requirement may not be a good idea. We have had past issues with editors adding categories to make a political point which again is not useful for Wikipedia. (see for instance this history). Shyamal (talk) 14:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the creation of categories to promote political ideas on regions could get you blocked. It would be best to discuss it if you think it is legitimate. Shyamal (talk) 14:31, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017[edit]

You have been blocked for three hours from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

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 ~~~~}}. Shyamal (talk) 14:49, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Hi, please stop creating and populating categories for imaginary or vaguely proposed provinces. If there're any sources about these provinces, consider instead creating articles about them. Let me know if anything's unclear. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 19:50, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please stop. Before you make any other edit that's related to categories, please read about how they work at WP:CAT. If you think a proposed province deserves coverage on wikipedia, consider creating an article about it if you can find sources. Then you can list what areas this province will contain. Do not create categories for these province. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 20:23, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Category:Quetta District.

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 notice boards.
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.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uanfala (talk • contribs) 20:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
