Information icon Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Abdul Qadir Patel, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 07:21, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to remove maintenance templates without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Abdul Qadir Patel, you may be blocked from editing. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 08:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, 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 special powers 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 practice;
  • 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.

Information icon You have recently made edits related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This is a standard message to inform you that India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:17, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Noted, Thanks for your kind message, I do understand and make sure to comply with policy. Faizan Munawar Varya chat contributions 09:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Noted, Sure this article does not have much citations I have nominated article for deletion I was about it list is for self deletion. Thanks
Were you paid to create this BLP? And also why are you suggesting this for deletion after I initiated the deletion process? If you have any COI please declare them. I have concerns about potential COIs across several pages where your involvement seems suspicious. --—Saqib (talk | contribs) 10:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Unnecessary personalization of disputes

Hello Faizanalivarya,

Special:Diff/1216431005 contains you should work on your team skills and please keep your ego at side, which are personal attacks.

Special:Diff/1216432108 contains you just projected negativity and [you] try to increase your edit count, which are similarly inappropriate accusations.

I understand that there may have been personal attacks against you, but they don't excuse your own behavior. Please avoid doing this.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:03, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

I am just trying to advice him in a nice and most proper way, and I hope you must have read, my offer to support his articles and improvement as well.
I think you are taking side, as admin honestly I thought you will be doing justice but honestly sir you ignored his behavior totally you did not tell him to improve his statements and you are just telling me.
Its really upsetting, I hope that you do justice with your position, honestly its very upsetting to see that you just catch my words not his.
Anyways its OK. Faizan Munawar Varya chat contributions 00:25, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Faizanalivarya, I have noticed the friendly parts such as I hope to end with a positive note again, lets join hands and work together too, of course. However, adding them to a message doesn't make the attacks disappear. It just makes the message seem strange.
Regarding Saqib's behavior, evidence in form of diff links for the personal attacks you have received would be welcome at the ANI thread I just noticed. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
