Might be helpful to ask on Teahouse. I have left a few links on your talkpage. Tow (talk) 04:00, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

ARBIPA sanctions alert

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 India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. 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.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. 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.

Mysterious tags and edit summaries at The Kashmir Files

I don't understand what point you are making in adding a "by whom" tag[1] to a statement that "the painting of all Muslims as active or passive participants in the exodus has been seen as promoting Islamophobia", when the statement has three footnotes exemplifying by whom it has been seen in such a way. What more do you want..? The "improper synthesis?" tag[2] you appended to the summary of Tanul Thakur's review is also a mystery.

Here, you removed the well-sourced phrase "which it portrays as a genocide by utilizing a fictional storyline" from the second sentence of the lead with the edit summary "phrasing, SYNTH". I'm not sure what you mean by "synth" here, either; it doesn't seem relevant. ("Phrasing" is obviously completely irrelevant, but I think you knew that.)

Please use the talkpage altogether to explain what problems you see with the existing text and to attempt to gain consensus for your changes, rather than adding unhelpful tags and mysterious edit summaries. Bishonen | tålk 20:59, 25 March 2022 (UTC).

- Apologies, have removed the by whom tag after reviewing sources.
- I haven't the time to read the entirety of the linked review nor have I seen the movie but a cursory overview suggests the article takes a bit of liberty with the wording, "lure", "scathing"; what does "communalize" even mean. I didn't want to remove content so I will leave it to review for someone else.
- I don't see how phrasing is irrelevant but better to be discussed on the talk page. Tow (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Orissa Electricity Regulatory Commission

Hi Tow. Thanks for noticing that there is already an article named Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission. However as this article has been prepared with more information which can be helpful to general public, can I propose to merge the old one with new one. Kindly share your views. Thanks in advance.

Yes, I left the articles as it is as I saw you added a lot of content. I will leave the exact mechanics of the merge up to you. Cheers! For how to merge, please see here. Tow (talk) 08:04, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
