You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.

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.

	Very based userpage and I could not simply walk past it without giving some acknowledgement. Sahib-e-Qiran, EasternShah 02:24, 6 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I can see that you have made many good-faith constructive edits here, and no one seems to have brought this up with you before, but your username and the userboxes on your user page are not conducive to a collegial atmosphere. Please read (or re-read) the username policy regarding disruptive usernames, and guidelines on userbox content and divisive content on user pages. You can request a new user name by following the instructions at Changing username.

Separately, as an accessibility issue, if you want to display "sticky" images on your user page (less contentious ones than you have now), they should be wrapped inside a {{Sticky decoration wrapper}} so that these can be hidden from users who do not want to see them, per Sticky decorative elements.

Hi DPRKBEST! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Hypnôs (talk) 03:33, 10 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for adding the information about the family code that i had put on my previous edit on the Traore page, much better written too. I threaded on too much ground previously. Trackstarx (talk) 18:37, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Also i'm wondering if you're able to add the stuff about his initiatives in the country and his said achievement of food self sufficiency. Thanks! Trackstarx (talk) 18:40, 14 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello DPRKBEST. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:A draft, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not nonsense - there is meaningful content. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:20, 3 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The existing article en.wp Inflanty Voivodeship was started 15 Dec 2004 and has sorta not really been improved since then. There are articles about it on other Wikipedias (pl:Województwo Inflanckie, de:Woiwodschaft Livland, and so on). That said... oops, nothing on teh interwebs about an associated historical figure of the name "John Dimiquavis" - first, second or third - so this appears to be a unambiguous WP:HOAX. My next edit will be an apology.--Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:03, 3 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oops. Deleted as an obvious hoax. --Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:03, 3 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

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 Russo-Ukrainian War. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. Additionally, the following restriction(s) apply to this topic area: Only extended-confirmed editors may make edits related to the topic area, though editors who are not extended-confirmed may post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area on article talk pages. Should disruption occur on article talk pages, administrators may take enforcement actions against disruptive editors and/or apply page protection on article talk pages. However, non-extended-confirmed editors may not make edits to internal project discussions related to the topic area, even on article talk pages. Internal project discussions include, but are not limited to, Articles for deletion nominations, WikiProjects, requests for comment, requested moves, and noticeboard discussions. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rajshahi Medical College, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shaheed Minar was added.

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Balabush, left the following feedback:

This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for schools. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

• provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like sports results, league tables, government inspection reports, and listings in databases or listicles;
• are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
• are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Individual faculties, departments, and student clubs are rarely notable on their own. You could add this content to the main educational institution article if one exists instead.

Next steps

• Edit Draft:Khagrachhari Cantonment Public School & College to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it may be deleted.

• You can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, or on the reviewer's talk page.

Scam warning
