    Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

    Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

    The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

    Hey, I have seen you are interested in editing film related articles, I too like to edit such articles and may be we can collaborate on the same? I have emailed you a few sources which can be used to find info on Pakistani films. —TripWire talk 17:58, 1 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

    To editor TripWire: Sorry but wikipedia do not allow editing on the behalf of other Editors Please don't mind. HIAS (talk) 04:05, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
      That's not what I meant. There's a different between what you understood and what I said (WP:TEAMWORK). Sorry, I couldnt find a template like this for inviting you to edit film-related articles or else there could have been less confusion.—TripWire talk 04:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

    Orphaned non-free image File:Pakistani Forces captured Kishangarh Fort in 1965 War.png

    edit
     

    Thanks for uploading File:Pakistani Forces captured Kishangarh Fort in 1965 War.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:25, 15 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

    ARBIPA alert

    edit

    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 recently 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 any 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.

      Hello, I'm Kautilya3. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Template:History of Kashmir seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please obtain consensus for tag line images that go into a large number of pages.
