Proposed deletion of Aman Ali Khan edit

 

The article Aman Ali Khan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I can't find anything on this person/ no references provided

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

January 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm Dan Koehl. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Tarana— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Dan Koehl (talk) 04:37, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Girija Devi. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dan Koehl (talk) 04:38, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for January 25 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Baiju Bawra (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bhairav (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 09:21, 25 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

July 2018 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Birthday Havan. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Kishfan (talk) 19:05, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Kishfan (talk) 17:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you.

You have clearly edit-warred across multiple articles and your claim that your edits are exempt from the three-revert rule because they are undoing vandalism does not stand up to scrutiny. The edits you're undoing are not vandalism. If you edit-war again, you will very likely be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 06:41, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mohammed Rafi. Kishfan (talk) 20:51, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:AmirKhan 2.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:AmirKhan 2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
