edit

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 the topics of Kurds and Kurdistan, broadly construed. 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.

Iraqi Kurdistan

edit

Please undo your edit here. Per WP:ONUS and WP:BRD, if an addition you make is reverted, you should not reinstate it without consensus on the talk page. Also, as I said in my edit summary, per MOS:REFERS, we don't write "is a term that refers to" in lead sentences; there is global consensus that we just don't use this style of writing.

'Global consensus' according to whom? I stated my valid reasons in the description of the edit, and that lead is used in multiple other (stable) articles. Refrain from vandalising the accurate version, I would hate to take it to administrators. كركوك عراقي (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
What other articles is it used on? Levivich harass/hound 20:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Turkish Kurdistan and Iranian Kurdistan, where it's even called unofficial. And this is a stable, accurate version. All four articles should be this same way. This is an accurate lead. كركوك عراقي (talk) 20:45, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Are you User:Kurdiyate352? Levivich harass/hound 21:03, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Kurdistan is just the name used in the English language to describe a land where Kurds live. In the scholarly works it is used and we have discussed it quite throughly. The ones who denied this where blocked and we kindly encourage you to self revert before reporting you.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
