Revision as of 14:01, 8 May 2020

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Misplaced Pages:

• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

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!

Hello, I'm Vaibhavafro. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Para (Special Forces), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Vaibhavafro  10:20, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

May 2020

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Para (Special Forces), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. — Vaibhavafro  04:38, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Para (Special Forces). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

Specifically, I am referring to these edits:. — Vaibhavafro  04:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

DS Alert

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.

Kargil War

In place of asking references for something which is already referenced, you need to read Kargil War#India discovers infiltration and mobilises. Both figures are sourced in the article body, infobox does not really require sources if article body has already explained the info with sources. Aman Kumar Goel 15:03, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020

Your addition to Battle of Chamb has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Misplaced Pages without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Misplaced Pages. For legal reasons, Misplaced Pages cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Misplaced Pages:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Don't copy paste content from other website to Misplaced Pages. You must use your own words for what you want to add here. Aman Kumar Goel 15:07, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

You are free to re-write whole text but if you edit warred to restore copyright violation then you risk getting blocked. Aman Kumar Goel 16:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

You have restored copyright violation again. You are supposed to completely rewrite the content in your own words. Aside this, why you are heavily depending on a single source? Aman Kumar Goel 08:59, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Minor edits

You are marking almost all major edits of yours as 'minor', see WP:ME and avoid doing this. Aman Kumar Goel 07:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Aman Kumar Goel 09:17, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Final warning about copyvio

Please desist, or you will be sanctioned. There will be no further warning. If you're uncertain about what is or isn't copyvio, please query the article talk page first. El_C 14:00, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
