Contentious topics alert

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

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. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-It was pointed out that you don't use [[WP:TWINKLE|Twinkle]] to tag pages for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/CFD/etc.) and you are not taking the important step of notifying the page creator of the deletion discussion. This is not fair to content creators who work to establish and improve articles. They have a right to participate in a discussion of whether articles or drafts they created is deleted.

-I really encourage you to give Twinkle a try as it is used by most page patrollers and most administrator. It will set up deletion discussion pages for you, allow you to tag articles, welcome new editors, report vandals, post warnings to editors that are troublesome, it even will maintain deletion logs for you that are helpful to review. Twinkle basically remembers all of the templates you might need to use so you don't have to search for them. Just remember to set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator" and then when you tag a page for deletion, Twinkle will post a notice on your behalf on the article creator's User talk page. If you don't want to use Twinkle, then please take the time to write a message yourself, informing the page creator of the AFD discussion. But it's easier to let Twinkle do this for you.
