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. Sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~), be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• 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) 17:57, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

Will reply about it on the talk page of article. Frank Springer (talk) 03:46, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanctions alert

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.

Disambiguation link notification for March 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Pakistani cricket team in the West Indies in 1987–88, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgetown. 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, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

General Sanctions alert

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 South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose discretionary sanctions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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.

@Venkat TL: You already add these sactions on my talk page here Special:MobileDiff/1076086284 While I respect the policies but I don't think this is really that important to keep posting it here and made this page grubby which I really don't like. Frank Springer (talk) 17:35, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

They are not the same. It means you have neither read the message, nor clicked the links it had. Venkat TL (talk) 18:28, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Venkat TL. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Venkat TL (talk) 10:39, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL: I found it hard to believe where I was not civil in that reply as a matter of fact, I asked in a very polite ton at the end (which all editors there are trying to do in case of your POV claim) to mention about the lost battles which we missed. Don't know how that was not very civil. Frank Springer (talk) 11:20, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Rajput resistance to Muslim conquests. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. namecalling is not allowed. If you do this a third time, you will be reported to admins for disciplinary actions. Venkat TL (talk) 11:24, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@Venkat TL: I don't know how this is namecalling in a wrong sense. I simply requested you to add the problems which that article had in it but you accused me of personal attack & loosing cool. Is these because, You can't answer my questions or you are loosing this debate ? Quite probably this is the case. Frank Springer (talk) 11:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
