Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Chencholai bombing has been reverted.

The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcMrFFOYYYA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline.

Clarification regarding my topic ban edit

Hi there, I just want to respectfully clarify that my topic ban was lifted by Mz7. I also want to apologize for any misunderstanding. I want to be clear that I totally agree with you and that. oppose unilaterally classifying the event as "insurrection" unless there is group consensus. I merely wanted to initiate a discussion on the talk page as I believe there should be group consensus before adding anything to the page. I initially called edited the lede as an "insurrection" because I saw the word being used in the last sentence of the first paragraph, which I deeply regret. I fully support my edit being undone, and I did not revert nor do I support My sincerest apologies for any misunderstanding. Nonetheless I will be refraining from the page right now. Furthermore, I wanted to take time to thank you for your contributions to the page. Best, Yeungkahchun (talk) 05:42, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Controversial topic area alert 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 post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. 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. — Newslinger talk 06:44, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
