Updates

I hope m doing it right. Just wanted to know why my updates not reflecting in the Guwahati University page?

I am seeing your updates, though some of your edits have since been adjusted - see the article history for more detail (and Help:Page history if you need help interpreting that history page). Can you be more specific about which part of your edit you can't see? -- John of Reading (talk) 21:50, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

If m not logged in with my username, and search for Guwahati University then I can't see any of the updates done by me or you.

Ah yes, I'm sorry about that. This is a known problem with the software when an article has an alternative name, a "redirect". If you access the article by searching for the name "Gauhati University" you should avoid the problem. The issue is being discussed here.

I have "purged" the article and the redirect, which should fix the problem for this page, at least until further edits are made. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:21, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Disambiguation link notification for April 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gauhati High Court, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ajit Singh. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.
