Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Hinduism. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 20:30, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

List of countries by GDP (PPP)

Hi! I understand that it can take a lot of time an effort to make the edit you did and update to the 2015 IMF figures. However, we cannot use the 2015 IMF figures on Misplaced Pages, as they are still preliminary estimates. The 2015 economic year is still in its second quarter and therefore no official figures are available at this time. I hope you understand. Cheers. Antiochus the Great (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
