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 ? Should we enable Page Protection so that only approved changes should be visible?

Any editor can amend or revert any change that's made to a Wikipedia article. However to avoid edit wars (where editors repeatedly remove and re-add the same material to an article), you should generally engage in discussion when content you add is removed, rather than just re-inserting it. Continued edit warring is disruptive and those who're involved can have their editing privileges withdrawn by an administrator. Neiltonks (talk) 13:16, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Liborbital, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
