Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.

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. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Since you have achieved extended-confirmed status by clearly gaming the system (see the above link, for example adding dozens of tags in individual edits rather than a single one), I have removed your EC right. You may apply for it again at WP:PERM/EC when you have made no less than 500 genuinely positive separate edits. Thus, until then you may not edit articles covered by WP:CT/SA, which includes caste topics. This action has been logged at the user sanctions page for CT/SA.

Hi Loamti, please don't remove the template at the top of the article. I've removed the copyright violations, but the template is there to flag to an administrator that they need to redact the revisions containing copyrighted content from the page history. That should usually only take a few hours for an administrator to get to, and once that's done they will remove the template. MCE89 (talk) 02:04, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
