Hello, Saff V.,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Icewhiz and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, United States support for ISIS should be deleted. Your comments are welcome over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States support for ISIS .

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Icewhiz}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Thank you for the review of Rhycherus filamentosus at DYK. Please note that by convention, the scientific names of animals and plants are always written in italics. Look at Euryoryzomys emmonsae, a featured article, for example. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:24, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cwmhiraeth: such a brilliant point! Thanks!Saff V. (talk) 06:20, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Please STOP. You are editing in one of the most volatile areas of the encyclopedia and I have precisely zero confidence that you have enough competency. Their's weird synthesis; weird language and what not. ∯WBG^converse 14:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On 7 March 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2019 Khash–Zahedan suicide bombing, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 2019 Khash–Zahedan suicide bombing, which caused the death of 27 Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, has been reported as one of the deadliest attacks in Iran in years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2019 Khash–Zahedan suicide bombing. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, 2019 Khash–Zahedan suicide bombing), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have closed the ANI thread you were involved with. You are strongly warned to avoid making personal attacks, to stop treating Wikipedia as a battleground, to seek consensus rather than edit-warring over contentious material, and to be mindful of our policies about maintaining a neutral point of view." Please read through the comments there, and keep them in mind, so that a sanction does not prove necessary. Regards, Vanamonde (Talk) 06:47, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello:

I went through the article Khums recently copy edited by a new member of the Guild of Copy Editors. I fixed a number of issues with the wording, fonts, and Wikilinks etc... One thing I did notice is that the citations are inconsistent and really need some work. In the "India" section I used this incredibly useful tool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ProveIt ProveIt and fixed a couple of the citations. When you select the template, Journal, for example it automatically places the article in quotation marks and the journal name in italics etc... You might want to install it an go through the citations and fix them.

Regards,
