Hello, I'm Perception312. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Samad Mir, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Perception312 (talk) 13:13, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Just undo your edit, type # and then four ~ onto the part of the list you edited before, and hit "publish". -- asilvering (talk) 22:50, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

They've also got this huge Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Redlist index, which can help you find people to write about. -- asilvering (talk) 05:16, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Silent ink, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you intend to help us improve Wikipedia's coverage of women. When you feel ready to create your first biography, you'll find guidance in our Ten Simple Rules. As for Draft:Indian female warriors, I suggest you turn it into a list titled List of Indian female warriors where you can include the names of those you have covered and add others listed under Category:Indian women warriors (and any other pertinent categories), each with dates, short explanations and sources. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:59, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Umm Hani Maryam
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Umm Hani Maryam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

- Your draftification of the article with an A7 outstanding was inappropriate and disruptive. That said, as long as you do not move the page back to article space on your own (as opposed to using WP:AFC), I will leave it in draft space and not sanction you for your conduct. If, however, you move it back to article space on your own, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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 an expanded level of powers and discretion 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 practices;
- 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.
Disambiguation link notification for April 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Edgar Towner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:55, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Women in Green's 9th Edit-a-thon
Hello Silent ink:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in October 2025!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2025, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event with the theme What Women Do! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 different occupations or professions (or broader roles in society) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Women in Green reviewing drive
Hello Silent ink:
This month, February 2026, WikiProject Women in Green is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions and guidelines and feel free to ask for a mentor to check your work.
We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page for updates as the event progresses.
We hope to see you there!
