Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2023 G20 New Delhi summit. Disputed content is removed until the discussion ends in talk page. Maintain neutrality Thewikizoomer (talk) 12:58, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@Thewikizoomer:, back-and-forth re-adding and re-deleting sourced content isn't vandalism, but it is WP:Edit warring. Both of you should please stop. Wikishovel (talk) 13:08, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.

Sockpuppetry

Pirate of the High Seas: Editing while logged out in order to mislead (WP:LOUTSOCK), like you apparently did here will get you blocked. WP:HOUNDING too. Please, de-escalate and move away from the dispute. MarioGom (talk) 19:09, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts per the evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pirate of the High Seas.

Edit conflict

I was editing Indian espionage case in Qatar when you published your edit. Please check for mistakes. Also, if you want to call out them with their ranks in Navy they should have been serving personnel not former personnel. `~ᴀɴᴋʀᴀᴊ ɢɪʀɪ🎇✨( C • Talk ) 10:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

In your edit, sourced text from the Background section was removed therefore it has been reverted. The onus for checking mistakes was on you. The Hindu mentions them with their ranks therefore you should have added (retd.) after their rank instead of outright removal. Please discuss your changes on the article talkpage first before making them. | Pirate of the High Seas (talk) 10:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

I missed looking in background section and I get that. I was already tired of editing for 2 hours. Actually, what you did in background section I had written it as Background section need more attention but then edit conflict happened. And had to shorten my summary. So I have nothing to object about background section. Also, you can clearly see that name(ranks) edit is the third time it has happened. I removed ranks on 28(diff) since then 4 editors came and looked at article and 5 edits took place. I had clearly explained myself in that edit's summary. No one objected yet because it was logical and NPOV. You don't copy paste everything that a newspaper/source writes (The Hindu). And now you have revered everything back to that edit position. I think you required consensus for going back not me in this case. You were also reverted because of POV push by user4edits then you again reverted that too. You have not taken the issue with user4edits's talk page. Stop this! `~ᴀɴᴋʀᴀᴊ ɢɪʀɪ🎇✨( C • Talk ) 11:09, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Take your concerns to the article's talkpage. | Pirate of the High Seas (talk) 11:22, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Your contributed article, 2023 Kerala bombing

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2023 Kerala bombing. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Kalamassery convention centre bombing. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Kalamassery convention centre bombing. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. DSP2092 (👤, 🗨️) 18:21, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

If you think this page does not fall under the general sanctions described, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
