Discretionary sanctions alert

The Wikipedia community has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions on any editor who is active on any page about social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties, related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. If you engage in inappropriate behavior in this area, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or a topic ban. The discussion leading to the imposition of these sanctions can be read here. Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:General sanctions/South Asian social groups.

• In particular, note that comments and edit-summaries like this one are unacceptable. Wikipedia content and consensus is based on sources and discussion, and (claimed) group-membership is immaterial to the content and process. Abecedare (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Also, this comment reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of wikipedia and its sourcing policies. Please familiarize yourself with the links in the welcome message above if you wish to continue editing wikipedia, especially in this topic-area. Abecedare (talk) 15:15, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bishonen | talk 14:04, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

• Note on block: your caste promotion and your threats at Bunt (community) and its talkpage are completely unacceptable, and you have ignored all advice and all warnings. Bishonen | talk 14:05, 25 September 2018 (UTC).
  • Your legal threats and abuse have cost you your talkpage access. See WP:UTRS. GAB^gab 15:56, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
