Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 11:12, 18 April 2022 (UTC) No consensusThe discussion "45,000 real figure. 93,000 exaggerated" did not arrive at a consensus regarding the 45,000 number. Sources almost all agree that the number of prisoners was somewhere in the 91,000 - 97,000 range. Sources disagree regarding how many of them were Pakistani regular army, navy, and air force. You're welcome to try to craft an RfC that sets out the various sources and seeks a consensus way of presenting the inconsistencies in the article. --Worldbruce (talk) 11:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 8Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of space travellers by first flight, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Afghan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.) It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:14, 8 July 2022 (UTC) Afghan Embassy, Tokyo moved to draftspaceAn article you recently created, Afghan Embassy, Tokyo, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " Wikipedia and copyrightHello PreserveOurHistory! Your additions to List of heads of state of Afghanistan have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

Important NoticeThis 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 Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place Doug Weller talk 10:25, 10 September 2022 (UTC) Discretionary sanctions for the Arab-Israeli dispute areaThis 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 Arab–Israeli conflict. 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 Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place Doug Weller talk 16:17, 13 September 2022 (UTC) You must follow these page-specific restrictions until you have 500 edits and have been here 30 daysFor the purposes of editing restrictions in the ARBPIA topic area, the "area of conflict" shall be defined as encompassing
Also, 500/30 Rule: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing content within the area of conflict. On primary articles, this prohibition is preferably to be enforced by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP) but this is not mandatory. On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring. The sole exceptions to this prohibition are: 1. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the methods noted in paragraph b). This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, noticeboard discussions, etc. 2. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. 3. One Revert Restriction (1RR): Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any edits made to content within the area of conflict. Reverts made to enforce the 500/30 Rule are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator. Note that this means your edits on such pages (which you aren't yet eligible to make) may be reverted by anyone at any time. These restrictions are stricter than those in most other areas because of the problems that we've had in this area. Doug Weller talk 16:17, 13 September 2022 (UTC) October 2022Please stop your disruptive editing. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue to harass other editors, you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 10:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} .

Orphaned non-free image File:Bacha Khan and Daoud Khan.pngThanks for uploading File:Bacha Khan and Daoud Khan.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add Speedy deletion nomination of File:Abdul Motaleb Malik.pngA tag has been placed on File:Abdul Motaleb Malik.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 15:11, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Afghan Embassy, TokyoHello, PreserveOurHistory. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Afghan Embassy, Tokyo, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace. If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:01, 10 December 2022 (UTC) A reminder that IPA articles come under the purview of DSWhat had the other editor "vandalized" on that page that you resorted to characterizing their edit as such? Your insouciant use of the expression to undo good faith edits is nothing short of scandalous, and you could in fact be sanctioned for such presumptuousness. You had been apprised of the DS being in effect in the topic domain only recently, and also thereupon subjected to a block for causing disruption, so pray tread carefully, and develop a predisposition to assume good faith. Lastly, discuss, not revert, when changes you make are contentious and likely to engender dispute. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions.
If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped." As a reminder, your topic bans covers all pages and discussions concerning India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, broadly construed, which includes deletion discussions about topic-related images. Unless and until the topic ban is lifted or otherwise modified, please avoid anything related to this material to avoid further sanction. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Lord Roem ~ (talk) 16:15, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
