Hello, I'm Hamtechperson. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Wire (Indian web publication), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Hamtechperson 22:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm SerChevalerie. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on 2020 Bangalore riots, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Misplaced Pages has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! SerChevalerie (talk) 05:41, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice

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 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 Misplaced Pages'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.

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Swarajya (magazine), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Tayi Arajakate Talk 01:43, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

For further clarification, see WP:lead which says "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." (emphasis mine). As a summary, repeating what is in the article body is perfectly normal. Whether the content you removed is significant enough for the lead and sufficiently summarised I make no comment, but "repetitive sentences" is clearly not a valid reason for removing something from the lead unless the repetition is happening in the lead itself.

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Agnivesh, you may be blocked from editing. Tayi Arajakate Talk 04:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Jyotirao Phule. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. SUN EYE 1 03:11, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Entirely constructive. The lead wasn't written with MOS:LEAD but drive-by POV pushing infected it. You are free to add sources that completely support the disputed content per WP:VERIFY. But don't use MOS:LEAD to justify POV pushing on lead. Shankargb (talk) 13:44, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alerts

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 shown interest in climate change. 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 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.

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 shown interest in articles about 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 the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

@Doug Weller: Are the DS alerts in one area not valid for another area? You gave one to this editor in August 2020 and giving a second one under a year from the last.. Why? Vikram Vincent 05:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Actually, the above two templates concern DS alerts of the two different conflicting areas than the one about which Doug Weller alerted 6 months ago. Shankargb (talk) 05:30, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
It sounds like Vincenvikram knows they are in different areas already. In answer to Vincentvikram question, yes, DS alerts are only valid for the area they are given in. See Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions#aware.aware. The requirement is that people are aware that discretionary sanctions are in place for the specific area covered, not just in general. Being aware that there are discretionary sanctions for electronic cigarettes obviously doesn't mean you are aware they are also discretionary sanctions for the Shakespeare authorship question.
