Important information

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.

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.  Bishonen | tålk 19:17, 2 October 2021 (UTC).

Gaming the system

Hi, Sketan. I see that you have just become autoconfirmed, so that you are formally able to edit semiprotected pages. However, you have obviously abused the rule that you must have ten edits to be allowed to do so. Over the course of a mere 20 minutes, you made fiddling little back-and-forth edits on Dell and Hewlett-Packard, reverting yourself back and forth until you had exactly ten edits, and then promptly went to edit the semiprotected article Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha, in a controversial manner. Sorry, but our rules are not for thumbing your nose at. Please see Wikipedia:Gaming the system. You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha. While you are technically able to edit other semiprotected articles, I advise you not to do so until you have made ten real edits. No more changing a p to a P or self-reverting, or other shady business, please, or you are likely to be blocked sitewide. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Also, I just noticed you are edit warring at Chitraguptavanshi Kayastha. Great. Any more shenanigans and you will definitely be blocked from the whole site. Whose sock are you, anyway?
