Welcome!

Hello, Dilpa kaur, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

Since you've shown some interest in editing topics related to Pakistan, we hope you'll stay and add content to Pakistan-related articles. Pakistani topics are generally underrepresented on Wikipedia and you can help counter this imbalance by becoming a regular contributor and by joining or watchlisting Pakistan-related discussions (for example, Notice board for Pakistan-related topics). Again, welcome!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Hi Mar4d. Thanks heaps for the warm welcome. I don't think I will be contributing much to Pakistani topics but do intend to be very, very active on Indian, Punjabi and Khalistani topics. I look forward to working with you. Right now I am busy with the Radcliffe Line article .It would be a pleasure to have your input there! Dilpa kaur (talk) 13:27, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ARBIPA sanctions 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.

February 2018

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Indira Gandhi, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 12:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't edit Wikipedia from your mobile if it won't work properly

In view of several complaints on this page, and this comment of yours from a month ago, it's apparent that you're having long-term problems with editing from your mobile phone. When you tried three times to get this [3][4][5] right, it ended with another user having to come in and fix a major removal of sourced content, which you had apparently failed to diagnose even though it started in the middle of a footnote — compare the section just above.[6] Please don't use your mobile for editing Wikipedia as long as it keeps going "haywire" on you. Don't you have any way of getting it fixed, or any other way of editing? I'm sorry you're having these problems, it must be very frustrating, but if your mobile doesn't even allow you to check your work, the problems aren't personal to you, but are affecting articles and other editors.

The harassment

Hi Dilpa, I just ran into your ANI complaint. I am sorry that you have been treated in this way. You have my genuine sympathies.

I have always found your posts thoughtful, even if I don't always agree with them. If you continue the same way, you have nothing to worry about. My best wishes. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:00, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do not add personal information about other contributors to Wikipedia. Wikipedia operates on the principle that every contributor has the right to remain completely anonymous. Posting personal information about a user is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's harassment policy. Wikipedia policy on this issue is strictly enforced and your edits have been reverted and/or suppressed, not least because such information can appear on web searches. Wikipedia's privacy policy is to protect the privacy of every user, including you. Persistently adding personal information about other contributors may result in you being blocked from editing. —DoRD (talk) 13:59, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Kashmir conflict, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

You removed quotations which were given as such within references, or as straight quotes with clear quotation marks. Take a look again at the warning you psted at User talk:Kautilya3#Copyvio, first dot:

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation.

That's exactly the kind of quote you removed. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:42, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dilpa kaur. Using properly attributed quotations is not a violation of the copyright policy. It's possible use of quotations can become excessive, which would be a violation of our non-free content guideline. Quotations are often used in the citations of articles about controversial topics. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:23, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help needed for an article on Kashmiri Sikhs

There is very little information on Wikipedia related to Kashmiri Sikhs. While there are pages for Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Hindus, there isn't a page for Kashmiri Sikhs. Do you think there are enough sources online for such a page and could you help direct me to some of them. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 13:24, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do have some sources but most of those would be WP:PRIMARY. Unfortunately not much detailed work has been done on Punjab and Kashmir anthropology since British rule. The works during the British era are too old to cite on Wikipedia. I will be at the Central Library in Patiala next week and will search for good quality secondary sources there for you.Dilpa kaur (talk) 08:04, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The works during the British era are too old to cite on Wikipedia". Absolutely not!!! :D Such works are so valuable and absolutely need to be cited!... I will be updating content related to Kashmiri Sikhs soon hopefully, found a couple of sources, but will merge it into already present articles, since I am still not sure if there is enough for a stand-a-alone article. Time will tell. Regards. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 05:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is out of my hands. Primary sources need to be handled with extreme care and it will be almost impossible to construct articles based on them. I have also now put in the comparative table you wanted. Its in my sandbox. Dilpa kaur (talk) 10:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking out the time to make the table. (Very very few editors make the effort to do things like this) Do you yourself see any problems with your changes after making the table, problems related to the difference in wordings between the old text and the new text, as compared to the source text? Do you think I need to comment on this myself, would you want me to comment, or should we let the matter rest now? Regards. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 17:59, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind giving this article a glance through Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir please.

I see you have been doing a lot of copyvio edits and other sorting out on Kashmir related articles on my watchlist. Could you give this one a glance through too Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir please. In the past few days it has been sorted out a lot compared to before but still needs a looooot of work. When you have time. (The article was actually created as someone's educational assignment in 2017, as mentioned on the talk page.) Thanks. DiplomatTesterMan (talk) 14:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
