Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Edward the Confessor, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 23:07, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your edits, but please do not change to American spellings (for example, "organise" to "organize") for articles that are written in British English. See MOS:ENGVAR. Thanks, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:26, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not introduce copyright violations into Wikipedia, as you did at Imran Khan. Users who persist with copyright violations may be blocked from editing. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:38, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of images

I notice that you have been removing images from several pages. Please note that Wikipedia is not censored. PohranicniStraze (talk) 02:37, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

Please do not mark significant edits as minor. Minor edits must be uncontroversial. Changes that other editors may disagree with, such as your attempts to censor certain images, should not be marked as minor. Certes (talk) 10:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm LizardJr8. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Kulsoom Nawaz—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. LizardJr8 (talk) 05:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Imran Khan article's lead image

Hi! I have seen you are still changing the currently used Imran Khan's portrait image in the article. Please explain your edits at talk page before doing so. And I don't know what you have problem about this image? as you have tried to add copyrighted images of Prime Minister in past too.Wallu2 (talk) 05:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

April 2021

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your image was inserted successfully on the page Prime Minister of Pakistan, but because it appeared to be irrelevant to the article or violated the image use policy, it has been reverted or removed. Please use your sandbox for any tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

July 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. We do not use first names throughout articles. Please see MOS:SURNAME Peaceray (talk) 03:59, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. You claimed that you had "fixed spelling errors", but that is not what you were doing. You were swapping out the last name(s) in favor of the given name, which violates the MOS:SURNAME guideline. Peaceray (talk) 04:02, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Peaceray (talk) 04:08, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Nawaz Sharif. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You must proved verification from reliable sources. You have provided none here. Peaceray (talk) 04:35, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Nawaz Sharif. Peaceray (talk) 05:12, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Wikipedia again, as you did at Nawaz Sharif, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Peaceray (talk) 05:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You added the following He has been heavily criticized by the current government of Pakistan for lecturing them on how to run a country meanwhile the province his party has control over has an HIV outbreak,<ref>https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2021/6/15/children-pakistans-hiv-outbreak-sindh</ref><ref>https://www.dawn.com/news/1519845/pakistans-positive-crisis</ref> water shortage,<ref>https://www.dawn.com/news/1626477/sindh-is-facing-worst-water-shortage-in-60-years</ref> and an insanely massive amount of cases of stray dogs biting citizens <ref>https://tribune.com.pk/story/2266964/150000-dog-bite-cases-reported-in-sindh-this-year</ref> Not one of these citations mentions Zardari. This violates the original research policy as well as WP:BLP. Peaceray (talk) 04:54, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

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 and 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. Discuss on the talk page before attempting these edits again. It matters not that the articles are about conditions in Sindh if the citations do not support your attestation of criticism. Peaceray (talk) 05:33, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Your text included statements like He has been heavily criticized by the current government of Pakistan when in fact the citation mentions one opposition minister & an insanely massive amount of cases of stray dogs bite cases. The latter violates MOS:LABEL & is orginal research unsubstantiated by the citation. You fail to demonstrate an understanding that each attestation in a WP:BLP article requires verification.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Popsmokes38 reported by User:Peaceray (Result: ). Thank you. Peaceray (talk) 05:35, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions notification

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 articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. 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.

Arbitration enforcement

See WP:AE. FDW777 (talk) 17:13, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:12, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You have been indefinitely topic banned from all pages and discussions concerning biographies of living persons. Please read WP:TBAN to see what "topic banned" means.

You have been sanctioned for the problems reported at WP:AE permalink.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Editing of Biographies of Living Persons#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Johnuniq (talk) 03:43, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnuniq: since their four edits since this notification have all been relating to BLPs, two of them to an actual BLP, I'm not sure on a next step? It seems a bit long-winded to file a new enforcement request. FDW777 (talk) 16:18, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021

To enforce an arbitration decision and for topic ban violations, such as at Moeed Yusuf, Boston University and Shorter College (Arkansas), you have been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily.

Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes" [in the procedure]). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."
