Jaspreetsingh6
Hi, noticed your warning to Jaspreetsingh6. I've just reverted a number of their edits, some of which had already been reverted by other editors previously but reinstated by Jaspreetsingh6. This edit warring comes immediately after they were unblocked for sockpuppetry. I'm concerned this is a WP:NOTHERE case as they seem to be solely focussed on introducing non-neutral language, edit warring to do so. Would it be appropriate for them to be indeff'd? — Czello 12:58, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think they are heading in that direction. I've left a final strong message on their talk page. Hopefully they stop editing and take the time to actually learn our policies. We'll see. --Yamla (talk) 13:31, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
About reference
I want to clear some doubts i agree i made some disruptive edits on 1991 killing and Har krisha which was reverted and i didn't edit that page again but can you explain me how i made disruptive edit on Punjab king's As I said earlier, I only changed the words and there was no source mentioned even before my edit on Punjab Kings.

- You added new content. You are required to cite that content. That the previous, different information was unsourced is not an excuse. --Yamla (talk) 15:15, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- okay i will keep that in mind Just last question like page When I edit the list of battle or list of Sikhs page, Do I have to mention reference?, Because this is type of page are just list where people and Battles are mentioned, which already have Misplaced Pages pages.

- and i am not making any excuse it's just i feel block warning was not necessary in Punjab king case Jaspreetsingh6 (talk) 15:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
Technical news
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
Arbitration
- Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.
Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
