Welcome!
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
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
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 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!

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Malabar Muslims. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Imperial[AFCND] 10:45, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- I can see that you have a history of getting blocked due to sock puppetry, and got several warnings in the past. Please keep civility among other users and contribute for the good will of WP. Thanks. Imperial[AFCND] 10:50, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Can you point out where I personally attacked you? Do not misuse the warning template. If this was done by mistake, then remove the warning immediately. Koshuri (グ) 11:03, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Not a mistake. See WP:NPA#what..
Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence considered as a personal attack
. Calling someone vandal, POV pusher, without proper evidence will be considered as PA. Imperial[AFCND] 11:08, 6 February 2025 (UTC)- While restoring the stable version of the article (after the Admin Bot next edit by Citation Bot), I stated in the edit summary:
POV-driven removal of reliably cited content
[1]. You are considering this edit summary a "personal attack," even though I did not mention your username in edit summary. While reverting to the stable version, I also highlighted the issue on the article talk page [2], but you failed to dispute the sourced content there. Koshuri (グ) 11:34, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Signature colour
Hello! Could you please choose a darker font colour for your signature. Currently, it's difficult to read and doesn't meet accessibility standards for link colours. You check if colours have sufficient contrast on this link checker website. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 21:10, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
