@NXcrypto Could you please explain how's it not constructive so to speak.? when it's just facts...? Malik256 (talk) 15:27, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm NXcrypto. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Vimalamitra, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Nxcrypto Message 15:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Toramana of Kashmir, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Nxcrypto Message 15:32, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding categories that don't exist

Hi Malik256: Our guideline WP:REDNOT proscribes adding categories to an article if those categories don't actually exist, as you did here [1] and elsewhere. Thanks for your attention. Chetsford (talk) 03:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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.

Merely being from a region, in your case Kashmir, should not impute a specific WP:ETHNICITY (Kashmiri people in your case, which is also a modern appelation further making your additions anachronistic) on that person (which is not allowed on the English Wikipedia per WP:ORIGINAL RESEARCH). Moreover a lot of the articles where you have added these categories and terms stating the person was from Kashmir is mere speculation as we know almost nothing about these pre-modern firgures historically.

Mere conjecture, WP:SYNTHESIS and anachronisms are never to be added to leads, categories etc. I will be thus reverting your edits. Please desist from repeating these, you have already been warned multiple times for this and further continuation might lead to a ban. Gotitbro (talk) 08:12, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Read the guidelines linked above and specifically WP:ETHNICITY on why and how ethnic descriptors, like Kashmiri, are disallowed most of the times here. Gotitbro (talk) 08:17, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Kashmiri Buddhists

A tag has been placed on Category:Kashmiri Buddhists indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 11:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
