Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Religion in India, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:27, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Population numbers

Hi Karansarathy, I had to undo your edits to White Namibians and Baster. When new population numbers become available, they cannot just be copied into the article without providing a new reference. Otherwise content would become inconsistent, with an old source apparently supporting a new number.

If you have newer references, by all means put them in. If you need help, just drop me a line. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 10:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Hello Pgallert, 124,000 of 2.1 million is less than 6%. The white namibian population is estimated to be 8%, while other sources state 6%. The correct population should than be 130,000-154,000. If your not going to change it, I will change the population with the right sources. You can't argue the sources and the math!!!. According to the Namibian government, white namibians make up 8% of the population. This is the most recent source of 2003.

Hi Karansarathy, the template to ping me is {{u|Pgallert}}, but that is not necessary as I'm watching your user talk page for a few days. All I'm saying is that the old source cannot support the new numbers. If you have newer numbers, please put them in and source it, then there is no problem. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 20:14, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pgallert, so where did 124,000 come from?, atleast I know where 154,000 came from, The Government of Namibia. That's the latest source. After 2003, there aren't reliable sources pertaining to the figures.

Have you got a url for that? The older numbers come from a scientific paper (for Basters) and from a web site which is no longer reachable (for Whites). Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 08:01, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Asian American does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks!--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 03:31, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you added some content to Asian American that appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint. Unfortunately, this edit appears to give undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at European Canadian, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You have had previous warnings about these unsourced changes to population statistics, but you continue to make them. Please see the discussion on the article's talk page. You have inserted at least three different unsourced percentages for the proportion of canadians of European origin into this article in the last three months alone. Please explain what you are doing and provide sources. Meters (talk) 23:42, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at European Canadian, you may be blocked from editing. Stop messing with this article please. Last time you were changing numbers without giving a new source, and now you are removing sourced material without an explanation. You don't get to rewrite this article to please your yourself. Give some justifications and sources or leave it alone. Meters (talk) 18:53, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nambudiri. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Sitush (talk) 18:38, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sanctions

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 that 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.
