Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''India ↗, Pakistan ↗, and Afghanistan ↗''', a topic designated as '''contentious ↗'''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

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 special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

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

<p>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 {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> <small style="color:#663399;background:Thistle;border:2px solid;border-radius:4px;padding:0 4px">Schrödinger's jellyfish</small> &#9993; 06:24, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

::Hi. I'm not involved in the content dispute on the page. This just serves as a notice that you should be aware of heightened behavioral expectations when editing about India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. I would recommend talking to the other editor in question about the disputed content (while logged in) about this, either at Talk:Asim Munir ↗ or at User talk:DaDefeender. <small style="color:#0080FF;background:#EAEAFF;border:2px solid;border-radius:4px;padding:0 4px">Schrödinger's&nbsp;jellyfish</small>&nbsp;&#9993; 01:34, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

::::OK so case by case :
::::Alam Lohar -> I took out the "his children live in the UK", not written in the 2 sources, while I added that he has 8 boys (which is in the Asia Society source I quoted, Asia Society being a credible source of course)
::::Arif Lohar -> Just added info (one of 8 siblings + acting career subsec), all sourced by the Asia Society profile as well
::::Atif Aslam -> reorganized a bit (songs title in Italics, etc), only addition being 3 brothers, source being Gulf News (credible)
::::Ramiz Raja -> there too just reorganization, new info is only about his family roots that were covered in another source (that I also archived)
::::Faysal Qureshi -> added in Early life with credible source (Bol News)
::::Ahmed Ali Butt -> Mainly reorganization, new addition (such as drama "Gentleman") is sourced

::::::I want to convey that all these facts have been backed by credible sources (I can concede for Bol but here too it'd still be debatable I believe), as I affirmed one of the very reasons for my presence is here was to demystify the Pakistani celebrities' pages (I remember actor Danish Taimoor is the one that impulsed me, as it was badly written and with too many unreferenced material presented as facts).

:::::::Debatable ? Bol News was just recently discussed at WP:RSN and it was deemed an unreliable source so please respect that consensus.

Reverted Edit



Hello
I noticed you reverted my edit in Baloch ↗ article. In the religion section you added:

:::{{tq|: 64.78% are Deobandis, 33.38% are Barelvis, and 1.25% are Ahl-i Hadith}}

These two revivalists movement are only practiced by the Baloch of Pakistan and not followed in other Baluch-populated areas in Iran ↗, Afghanistan ↗ and etc. The article is needed to be modified as in the context stating "The majority of the Baloch people in '''Pakistan'''". It only shows the religious index of the Baloch people of Pakistan, not all Baloch people.

Deobandi ↗ and Barelvi ↗ are not mentioned in the valid sources and studies that represent the religion of the Baloch.<ref>{{cite book |last=Korn, Jahani, Titus|first= Agnes , Carina , Paul Brian |title=The Baloch and Others Linguistic, Historical and Socio-political Perspectives on Pluralism in Balochistan |publisher= Reichert Verlag |date=2008 |page=12|url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Baloch_and_Others/nNoRAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0&bsq=baloch%20shia%20sunni|language=en|isbn=9783895005916}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Baloch people |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Baloch|website=Encyclopædia Britannica ↗}}</ref>

I've checked all the sources, and none of them , mention that the Baloch religion shows "Deobandi and Barelvi " . Or anything along those lines. Seems only the Baloch in Pakistan follow those sects not generally correct about other Baloch. Balash-Vologases (talk) 16:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi Metamentalist! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at :Rajput ↗ that may not have been. "Minor edit ↗" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections ↗ or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Any edit that changes the <em>meaning</em> of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word.

Hi Metamentalist. Regarding your reverts at Feroz Khan (actor) ↗, you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace ↗ useful.

Religion



Please understand that in order to mention that Aryan "on a personal level identifies with Islam" ↗, an adult person like him would need to self-identify as such. A source that mentions what his mother semi-jokingly said on a talk show (when he was a child) should definitely not be used. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:16, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

:Greetings, could you please reverify the source and tell me where it was precised that she mentionned Aryan's childhood ? From my understanding it was more general, also, it's the previous sentence ("Khan follows both his parents' religions of Islam and Hinduism") which is based on his childhood (source is from the early 2000s). Thanks for your eventual reply so I could process to a re-edit or not. Metamentalist (talk) 10:25, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::The Menxp source you used cites this IBT article ↗ which is not considered a WP:RS ↗ at WP:ICTFSOURCES ↗. That source talks about what she said semi-jokingly on ''Koffee with Karan ↗'' in 2005. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 10:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::fair enough I can see that you have also reworded that particular part. Metamentalist (talk) 11:31, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::::Yes, reworded to make it neutral. Also, there is no need to spoon-feed small paragraphs with sub-headings. Perhaps when his debut show releases, we can have a separate section after its expanded.

This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

30px|alt=Stop icon ↗ Your recent editing history at :Punjabi Hindus ↗ shows that you are currently engaged in an '''edit war ↗'''; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the '''talk page ↗''' to work toward making a version that represents consensus ↗ among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done ↗. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard ↗ or seek dispute resolution ↗. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection ↗.

'''Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing ↗'''&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule ↗, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts ↗ on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;'''even if you do not violate the three-revert rule'''&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.<!-- Template:uw-3rr --> '''<span style="color:#5DADE2;font-family:Comic Sans MS">Magic Fizz</span>''' <sup>(<span style="color:#F7DC6F">talk</span>)</sup> 14:24, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion


In this edit here ↗, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy ↗.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. <span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span><span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span> 12:21, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Revert reason



Your edit summary here ↗ stated that you didn't know what that information was removed.

WP:BLP ↗ and WP:MOS ↗ violations



Quite a few of your recent edits under the Cinema of India ↗ topic violate basic and WP:BLP ↗ and MOS:FILM ↗.

This ↗ and this ↗ for instance violate basic guidelines such as WP:CSECTION ↗ and to make vague accusations of plagiarism so prominent is a basic BLP vio.

Here ↗ for instance, as the {{t|Infobox film}} documentation should make clear, the parameters are for official credits not what certain parties claim to be the case (i.e. it might be suited for the body but certainly not the infobox or lede).

I will be editing these to conform with enwiki policies and guidelines. And just as a reminder, the topic of Indian cinema is also covered by WP:CT/SA ↗ (which I see you have been informed of above), so be extra careful to comply with our P&G. Gotitbro (talk) 07:51, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Unblock request



{{Unblock reviewed|reason=Hello,

I respectfully request that my block be reviewed.

I have made hundreds of constructive edits across Wikipedia, and my contributions have received millions of page views. Over the years, other editors have thanked me for my work, which I hope reflects that I have generally been here to improve the encyclopedia in good faith.

I understand there were concerns regarding sourcing, but I believe an indefinite block is disproportionate. Much of the material in question relied on published interviews and other sources that I believed satisfied WP:RS. If my interpretation of the sourcing standards was incorrect, that is something that could have been addressed through discussion, guidance, or reverting the specific edits rather than an indefinite block.

I acknowledge that Wikipedia's sourcing policies, including WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:BURDEN, require that challenged material be supported by reliable, high-quality sources. Going forward, I am willing to be more conservative in evaluating sources, avoid relying on borderline material where there is doubt, and seek consensus before restoring contested content.

I also recognize the importance of WP:BLP and that sourcing standards are applied especially strictly for biographical content. I will exercise greater caution in future edits involving living people.

I have no interest in disrupting the project. I would appreciate the opportunity to continue contributing under the community's policies and would be grateful if the block could be reconsidered.
