Important Notice

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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

@WikiLinuz - thank you for the notice. I will ensure I review the policies and rules as I don’t want to be a disruptive editor.

Best,

Hi,

As per my earlier reply, thanks for flagging up the policies for me to remain aware of. I have spent the last couple of weeks reviewing the different policies surrounding the citation of sources (along with verifiability and reliability).

I have also looked into editing lead paragraphs and the importance of keeping a NPOV in edits. For example, I am aware that on the Vidura page, I didn’t cite relevant sources of the edits that I made [1]. Similarly, on the Indo-Aryan Migration article [2] and Indus Valley Civilisation article [3], the sources that I used were not reliable or verifiable.

I will continue to ensure that I remain up-to-date with the key policies of Wikipedia to refrain from making such errors again.

Nevertheless, I would appreciate any other feedback and guidance if I have missed out on anything.

Best,
