Notice of discretionary sanctions on caste and related 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.

Hey @Ekdalian, Thank you for your message. I understand the need for high standards in editing sensitive topics. However, the references I used, such as the University of Chicago and the Anthropological Survey of India, are reputable and frequently cited. The content is based on well-documented facts and is neither controversial nor debatable, aligning with Wikipedia's guidelines. Saurabh ^Talk? 18:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Saurabhsaha. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Saha (surname), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You may be blocked from editing if you continue like this; edit warring won't help! Achieve consensus on the article talk page. Ekdalian (talk) 18:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm that I have neither a conflict of interest nor have I been paid by anyone to edit the "Saha" surname page. I have only added content backed by proper, notable sources to ensure that no unreferenced or false claims are included in the article. I edit the article in the same manner as others, with the sole intention of adding information related to India and Bangladesh that is already publicly available.

You are trying to promote the caste (COI evident from your username) by misinterpreting sources and trying to cite unreliable sources like Singh. Refer to the article talk page for more details. Ekdalian (talk) 06:09, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My surname holds no connection to the caste in question, nor does it reflect any conflict of interest (COI). My argument is based solely on a neutral interpretation of credible sources, including more reliable references you seem to ignore, and the inclusion of authors like Singh is not an endorsement of any single viewpoint but rather an attempt to represent a range of perspectives.
