  Hello, I'm Faizan. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Pakistan Air Force seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Faizan (talk) 09:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Discretionary sanctions notice

edit
This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Thomas.W please mention the article.

It's not just one article, it's all articles covering that area. Or as WP:ARBIPA puts it: "Standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all pages related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, broadly construed". Thomas.W talk 17:01, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
If I have an issue with the neutrality of the article with some editors where should I put or resolve my concern? Thanks. Zenoxas (talk) 17:05, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Then you should raise your concerns on the talk page of the article you're having problems with. Even though it admittedly isn't always easy considering the heated passions on both sides of the Indo-Pakistani border... Thomas.W talk
Other than talk page? I need an arbitration platform Zenoxas (talk) 17:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Start by reading Wikipedia's policy about "Neutral point of view", a page that includes most of the information you need, from what Wikipedia's views on what is and isn't neutral are to what to do if all attempts to discuss it fail. Thomas.W talk 17:24, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
