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 happened to look at your contribution history. I think you are not reading the context correctly at Basharat Peer, 'part' is indeed correct in the given context. Please have patience and read it one more time. Also Your addition at Ghar Wapsi, though correct, isn't a terrible improvement, the article is anyway in the dumps. You can probably work on improving the article as a whole, feel free to use non-English source if that is what you get. It is not an old term, there may not be many English sources, look at other Indian language sources. I am sure other editors will not have a problem if you develop the article as a whole instead of adding just half a phrase. Just my opinion. --Gian ❯❯ Talk 15:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

October 2018

Hello, I'm RegentsPark. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Anti-Hindu sentiment, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. regentspark (comment) 20:19, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

It's basic policy not to restore unsourced material

Please read all of WP:VERIFY, but the key bit in this case is "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports<ref>A source "directly supports" a given piece of material if that information is directly present in the source, so that using this source to support this material is not a violation of Misplaced Pages:No original research." Thanks. If you wish you can copy it to the talk page to see if others can source it, but it shouldn't be restored unsourced. Help:Referencing for beginners tells you how to cite sources, WP:RS along with VERIFY tells you what types of sources we use. Doug Weller talk 12:34, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Notice of discretionary sanctions

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 recently shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. 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 any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

Please actually do read WP:BLP, by the way. The first sentence says quite clearly Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Misplaced Pages page. Jytdog (talk) 05:14, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
