User talk:Credauth: Difference between revisions

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

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia'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 Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. 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!

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 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.

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.

The reason for the reverting of your addition to the Kashmir Solidarity Day article was included in the edit summary. It was done on the basis of a Wikipedia policy called WP:NOTNEWS. This basically says that Wikipedia isn't a news website and events should only be added to articles if they have lasting significance. In this case, you and the editor who reverted the addition have different views about whether the event you added has sufficient significance. This is called a content dispute and to resolve this you need to either discuss the matter between yourselves to see if you can come to an agreement, or (as I see you have done), open a discussion on the article's Talk page to let other interested editors express their opinions and see if a consensus can be reached.

One other thing - when editing Wikipedia you should always assume good faith amongst other editors. Just because someone disagrees with an edit you made, they aren't necessarily biased and shouldn't be accused of this on the talk page. If we all assume good faith and discuss things politely between ourselves, there's a better chance of reaching an agreement. Neiltonks (talk) 12:41, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Neiltonks,

I was curious on the part that can some senior member delete my contribution without discussing on talk page ? or is it mandatory to discuss on talk page, get consensus and then do the appropriate change ?
