Notice of discretionary sanctions on caste articles

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 South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. 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.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.

• I appreciate your enthusiasm but you should perhaps show down and moderate your comments especially when contributing to contentious areas dealing with caste. For example, declarative statements such as 1, 2, 3 etc backed by nothing more than a Tweet citing a supposed smriti are not very helpful. Abecedare (talk) 12:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  Abecerade, I have reliable sources regarding those claims, a person named Ekdalian told me about WP:RS, sorry for that tweet link. Should I give you the sources? are you an admin? NIRANJAN CHATTERJEE (talk) 13:18, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  Abecedare is a truly knowledgeable admin! Please share your sources with them! Ekdalian (talk) 13:24, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, it would be good to provide the sources on the article talkpage(s); given the topic, reliable sources are likely to be (mostly) books or peer-reviewed articles written by academics or experts in recent decades. And yes, I am an admin but keep in mind that on wikipedia admins serve a mainly janitorial function, which is to enable "regular editors" to most effectively discuss and edit content. See WP:CONSENSUS and WP:DR for how the article content is shaped through discussion. Abecedare (talk) 13:30, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  Ok, I am giving you the sources at the talk page of Kayasthas. NIRANJAN CHATTERJEE (talk) 13:35, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
