Discretionary sanctions alert for India, Pakistan and Afghanistan

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 Misplaced Pages'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.

Template:Z33 Note that North East Delhi riots is one of the many articles covered by these sanctions. Doug Weller talk 11:36, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Talk:2020 Delhi riots. This is in regard to your response to Fowler & Fowler. Please remember that discretionary sanctions cover talk pages as well - they cover all Misplaced Pages pages. Doug Weller talk 16:44, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Non admin closure of AFD Thakur Shivam Singh

Regarding your non-admin closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Thakur Shivam Singh, an administrator reviewed sockpuppetry and explicitly left it open as the nomination had merit irrespective of the nominator being a sockpuppet. Please revert your closure. Thanks. -- Whpq (talk) 22:51, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

@Whpq: See WP:CSK #4. That admin saw comment of an account who supported deletion but soon that account was blocked for socking too. Wareon (talk) 07:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Yes, but the the admin {User:MER-C) explicitly left it open, and the nomination does indeed have merit as the subject does not appear to meet WP:NPOL. So, please revert your closure.-- Whpq (talk) 11:19, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Misplaced Pages's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Misplaced Pages page and follow Misplaced Pages's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Misplaced Pages is not a forum.

The Misplaced Pages tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Breast Tax

If you have an issue with my close and feel that it does not reflect consensus, please take it up at the proper channel at WP:DRV. bibliomaniac15 04:50, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Misplaced Pages talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Misplaced Pages's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. This thread is canvassing. You should remove it. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 20:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
