User talk:Sylvester Millner

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Requesting article expansion support

Greetings,

Requesting you to visit articles Islamic advice literature, Draft:Aurats (word) and Draft:Pawri Ho Rahi Hai

and help expand the articles if any of above topics interest you.

Thanks and warm regards

@Sylvester Millner: Thanks for your prompt reply, it's very nice of you. While first two topics may be a little theorotical in nature, may be you can begin with Draft:Pawri Ho Rahi Hai a light-hearted subject just for a change would not need much previous background than searching google news and YouTube for entertaining yourself a little. Warm regards Bookku (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bookku: sorry for the late response as I'm not very active on Wiki at the present time. But if you want any specific section improved, let me know and i'll see what I can do. Although in the future I might be more available.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 22:19, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Country comparison

Greetings. Any reason why country comparisons should be removed as you did on Afghanistan–Pakistan relations? WR 12:35, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Weaveravel because this is about relations of the two countries and not about comparing the two countries. If you want to learn or add more to demographics of the two countries, then edit the demographics articles of the two countries.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 20:31, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair. But I have seen this appearing on many A-B relations articles, so many will have to be removed. --WR 11:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weaveravel, if it hasn't been removed, then it will be removed when seen because it doesn't conform to the guidelines of Wiki.--Sylvester Millner (talk) 19:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mahajir (Pakistan), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Muttahida Qaumi Movement. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:27, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2023

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 Uyghurs, Uyghur genocide, and topics that are related to Uyghurs or Uyghur genocide. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

June 2023

You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Muhajir (Pakistan)) for a period of 3 months for edit warring.

The extended block reason provided is: "Edit warring / ownership behavior; the article would probably significantly benefit from uninvolved edits by other users without interference from Sylvester Millner and Flamealpha123, who can still make edit requests".

Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:25, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

British india moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, British india, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Introduction to contentious topics

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:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
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. Kautilya3 (talk) 11:59, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

September 2025

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to India (Herodotus) did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit and/or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

or in the visual editor:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Describe what you changed

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.
