July 2014 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in List of forest research institutes, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thanks for your efforts to improve the above-referenced article. As you make further improvements to this article, please help maintain the alphabetical order of the entries in each section. Much appreciated... DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 18:49, 24 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm DASonnenfeld. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to List of forest research institutes because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Again, please help maintain the encyclopedic character of this article. Wikipedia is not about placing one's own institution first... Thank you. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:13, 25 July 2014 (UTC) P.S. You may find it helpful to review Wikipedia's guidelines related to conflict of interest.Reply

Disambiguation link notification for July 26 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited AFRI Model Nursery, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nursery and Agricultural wastes. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

CFD nomination edit

I placed a comment on the latest CFD page. That was not the correct place. When you found the CFD notice on your category, you should have clicked the link in the notice, which would have taken you to the right page, so that your important contribution would be attached to the appropriate discussion. The problem with the name you chose is that the abbreviation is meaningless to most of the rest of the world. Accordingly we prefer abbreviations to be expanded. Please go to that page and comment on my alternative suggestion, which I think you will think more acceptable. I may add that the number of articles seems to have grown since I first looked and it may be that there was only one or two when the nomination was made. PLease also learn to sign your contrinutions to talk pages with ~~~~, which converts to your name and a date. I presume you are a new editor and have yet to learn how WP works.

September 2014 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:45, 2 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

ARBIPA notification 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 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.

Please read and follow all the Wikipedia policies that you are referred to. Failure to do so may invite sanctions. Thanks, Kautilya3 (talk) 13:08, 24 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

April 2015 edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Jawaharlal Nehru. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, 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 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 lead to a loss of editing privileges.

I realise you have only re-instated your version once, but it may be that you are unaware of the risks and will find this warning helpful. The essay BOLD, revert, discuss cycle gives good advice on how you can proceed if you are fully confident in your edits. In this case, I suggest you first review Wikipedia's policy on verifiability.
