Information icon Hello! Your image was inserted successfully on the page Buddhism and science, but because it appeared to be irrelevant to the article or violated the image use policy, it has been reverted or removed. Please use your sandbox for any tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Wikipedia generally doesn't use WP:AIIMAGES, in part because they can make strange mistakes which the human prompter failed to notice - in this case apparently showing the evolution of humans going backwards and then forwards again. Belbury (talk) 11:20, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get an answer on the AI use, Rick? Readers and other editors should be made aware of this, on relevant articles, if it's the case that some of the text was written by a chatbot. Belbury (talk) 16:19, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Belbury
I want to make it clear that I did not use any AI tools in creating this content. Transparency about AI use is important for Wikipedia, but in this case, the text originates entirely from human editing. If any AI-generated content is present elsewhere, it should be properly noted according to WP:AI so that readers and editors can be fully informed.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Buddhists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:55, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the region of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal), broadly construed, including but not limited to history, politics, ethnicity, and social groups, 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:

Additionally, you must be logged in, have 500 edits, and have an account age of 30 days in order to make edits related to two subtopics: (1) Indian military history, or (2) social groups, explicitly including caste associations and political parties related to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.

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.

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Nikhil Siddhartha when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:36, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The FACE-X-DINO-COVER.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:47, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bare categories

[edit]

Hi, I'd like to let you know that some categories (e.g. Category:List-Class List articles) shouldn't be added directly. Instead, they are added by a specific template. You can find an example of your edit and how I've altered it with the appropriate templates here:[1][2]

Thanks, and feel free to ask me more on my talk page. — Opecuted (talk) 15:32, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
