- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Happy editing! Cheers, Doug Weller talk 09:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
NOTFORUM
[edit]A cursory look at extant legal scholarship about defamation laws in India attest to the fact that you are grossly simplifying things. Nonetheless, you are free to discuss your views with interested editors but the article t/p is not the appropriate venue. See WP:NOTFORUM. Thanks, TrangaBellam (talk) 09:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]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 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 special powers 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 practice;
- 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.

Premature closure of discussion
[edit]I started a conversation on the top of this article about taking out the word 'threatened' from the introduction. But two admins shut down the discussion before I could explain my reasons in detail. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be open to anyone's edits, but this experience makes me wonder if that's really true. It feels like Wikipedia isn't being fair, so I'm asking an admin to step in and help. ZandraBlaese (talk) 12:14, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Where are you asking? Doug Weller talk 12:18, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be open to anyone's edits.
It is, granted, but competence is required. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:54, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Talk:Asian News International vs. Wikimedia Foundation. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much!

- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.
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! Kautilya3 (talk) 15:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Ratnahastin (talk) 16:04, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Asian News International are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks. - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. Ad Orientem (talk) 04:39, 28 October 2024 (UTC)ZandraBlaese (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I recently brought attention to several very important issues at the ANI talk page [1]. For the first time in Wikipedia's history, @WMFOffice: was forced to remove one of its pages in connection with it [2] citing how some editors keep bringing trouble to wikipedia and force Wikipedia to do things they have never done before and setting up dangerous precedents that are harmful for the project. I tried bringing up the matter with the WMF [3] . NOTHERE block is superfluous and a nebulous attempt to silence a crucial topic. A review of the block is requested. ZandraBlaese (talk) 07:04, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Your only interest here seems to be in this legal matter and seeking sanctions against other editors; you've made not a single edit about anything else. I get the feeling that the source of your interest isn't in protecting Wikipedia. The reason for the block is correct, and as such I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
331dot Because 20Million INR is the cost of the litigation and is pretty high amount which is as claimed by ANI. Currently my only "interest" is in to to prevent the foundation from further legal nuiances. Futher, it seems you are decieved by your "feelings" .

[edit]Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice:
{{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}
. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.
