Hi Banish Kashif! I noticed [[Special:Contributions/Banish Kashif|your contributions]] and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. |
|||
{{box|color=#EBFFE9|align=left|CSS=padding:10px 20px;|I've noticed that you've expressed an interest in [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics/South Asia|South Asian topics]]. Unfortunately, due to a history of conflict and disruptive editing it has been designated a [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics|contentious topic]] and is subject to some [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics/South Asia|strict rules]]. |
|||
'''The rule that affects you most as a new or IP editor is the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures#Extended confirmed restriction|prohibition on making any edit related to Indian military history or castes, political parties, and social groups in South Asia]], which includes discussing articles on talk pages, unless you are logged into an account that is at least 30 days old and has made at least 500 edits.''' |
|||
This prohibition is [[WP:BROADLY|broadly construed]], so it includes edits such as adding the reaction of a public figure concerning a historical conflict to their article, discussing which caste a person may or may not belong to, or noting the position of a company or organization as it relates a political party. |
|||
The exception to this rule is that you may [[Wikipedia:Edit requests|request a specific change to an article]] on the talk page of that article or at [[Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for edits to a protected page|this page]]. Please ensure that your requested edit complies with our [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sourcing]] policies, and if the edit is about a living person our policies on [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living people]] as well. |
|||
Any edits you make contrary to these rules are likely to be reverted, and repeated violations can lead to you being [[WP:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]. |
