Welcome!

Hello, Roadpine22, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page.   Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 09:01, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

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 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.

Please stop your tendentious editing. Neutrality is policy here. For sourcing, please note especially that Wikipedia itself can never be used as a source. Bishonen | tålk 09:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC).Reply

what is the problem here just correcting the actual history Roadpine22 (talk) 09:50, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, you are trying to get articles to conform with pseudohistory and changing text so it didn't match the source. Doug Weller talk 10:05, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) The problems are that you remove well-sourced neutral content, as you did here, and that you use Wikipedia itself as a source, as you did here (where you also messed up the syntax in several places; please be more careful). Bishonen | tålk 10:07, 3 December 2023 (UTC).Reply
the problem is mughals did suppressed cultures but it is shown as some kind inavders. this is not proper history at all. this is misleading to many. if someone edits the nazis as good people will you agree with that too. Roadpine22 (talk) 11:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia goes by reliable sources exclusively, not by the views of "many". Bishonen | tålk 13:28, 3 December 2023 (UTC).Reply
what reliable source you think foreigners can make up their own source and they are true Roadpine22 (talk) 14:22, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I linked the words reliable sources to our guideline on reliable sources. I guess you didn't click on my link. Here it is again. Try clicking on it. To edit here, you need to abide by our policies and guidelines. Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia, and nobody's a "foreigner" here. Bishonen | tålk 15:34, 3 December 2023 (UTC).Reply
