Welcome!

Hello, DinoBambinoNFS, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Disambiguation link notification for July 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2016 Kashmir unrest, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hafiz Saeed. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello

Thanks for your comment on my talk page. Please read wp:otherstuffexists. You seem to be new user having excessive interest in only one article. You are also showing signs of taking ownership. --Ekvastra (talk) 06:29, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

July 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Burhan Muzaffar Wani. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:44, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics.

Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Edit-warring isn't my objective, however other users keep clashing over their personal preferences of what is to be added or not. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 22:16, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

I strongly suggest you refrain from further reverts. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 22:21, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I will refrain from repeated reverting. My intention wasn't bad at all. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 22:24, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

I know. It's easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment. If others have a problem with the changes, they will revert. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 22:27, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

The major problem was with his improper grammar and bad format, though I did have some other problems but they weren't big. Had he simply written it properly I wouldn't even have reverted him and would have discussed the other issues. Regardless sorry. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 22:45, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Don't discuss about socks on open platform

Socks watch your edits. It would be better to email others, if you have doubts. Better read this page:Wikipedia:Signs of sock puppetry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.39.37.239 (talk) 15:08, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

I didn't find any such rule which says you can't discuss about socks on Wikipedia talk pages. If such a rule does exist please do link the Wikipedia policy name under which it is when informing others about the rule. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 14:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

A recent ARE case ruled that the only place where accusations of socking can be made is WP:SPI. They might accept if you complain to admins directly, but it is not a good idea to do so in other places. Anyway, I was busy filing an SPI case even as you were writing on my talk page, but my guess was wrong and yours was right. Well done! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:00, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Ok well I didn't know about that, I'll remember it from now on. Thanks and thanks for reporting as well. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 18:00, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TJH2018. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Lakes (state) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

re:Please correct borders of Eastern Bieh State in File:28 States of South Sudan.png

I've corrected it. In the first version I used districts borders from the UN map of 2012. Aotearoa (talk) 08:54, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Aotearoa Thank you. Please don't use the district borders to show the states, atleast not as the only reference. A few districts have had some of their areas transferred to other states after the creation of new states. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 09:24, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the name of state has been officialy changed yet. In the article the only source about this change is press info. However, the name of Western Bieh is listed in the "Establishment Order Number 36/2015 for the Creation of 28 States in the Decantralized Governance System in the Republic of South Sudan" [1], so we need official source that confirms this name change. Aotearoa (talk) 06:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I propose to put two names on the map, one in brackets. If this new name be confirmed I'll remove the old one. You're right that there're lack of official confirmation of many information in African countries. But press information is some times wrong – for example, two years media informed about creation new governorates in Egypt (with citation of president decree), but still these new administrative units are not established; in Nepal there're some media information about new names of provinces, but no official confirmation of this, and so on. Aotearoa (talk) 13:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

I've uploaded the new version of the map. Aotearoa (talk) 17:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

re:Please create a color-coded map of South Sudan highlighting its regions

I've done it: File:28 States of South Sudan within regions.png. Aotearoa (talk) 18:50, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much. DinoBambinoNFS (talk) 03:58, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

• I'm not sure if borders of regions/historical provinces are correct. The former file File:SouthSudanStates.svg has groupped then states into regions. But such borders were slightly different than borders of former provinces of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. So, the new states should be, in my opinion, differently groupped: Gbudwe should be part of Bahr el Ghazal region, and Eastern Lakes should be part of Upper Nile region.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to 2016 Uri attack: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. You can't just revert new users without giving them a proper explanation. You might try turning on Twinkle, which gives you a rollback button that allows you to give welcome messages and warning templates. Kautilya3 (talk) 11:04, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

2016 Uri attack

Hi Dino, please keep fluff under control as you edit the article. There is no need to put everybody's reaction into the article, only those that seem to have a key impact on the happenings. Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 12:34, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Where are you?

Hi Dino, are you around? What do you say to the allegation of WP:Sockpuppetry? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
