Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Alert

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.

Hi, the above is advisory, as it says. I've noticed that you are a fairly new account but some of your edits have been problematic. In particular, you have been misrepresenting sources, hence my fixes such as here. Another, related to the list of Madhwa Brahmins, was a violation of our policy regarding biographies of living people. Please be careful. - Sitush (talk) 02:51, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically with regard to living people, it's good that you have tried to source your additions but you cannot ascribe a caste to someone unless they have self-identified as a member of that caste. I've had to revert several of your edits because the sources do not provide that level of verification. You can see some background about this at User:Sitush/Common#Castelists - the arguments apply just as much to articles about individuals as to lists. - Sitush (talk) 17:36, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
