June 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Sindhudesh has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/user/sindhudeshmovement). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 20:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Jackky Bhagnani.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Jackky Bhagnani.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 23:45, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Sindhi people

Hi. I have been watching the article for a while, and you are right - there has been some vandalism by certain Pakistani editors. I also wanted to let you know that I had to make some changes to the article, as it had acquired a very heavy anti-Muslim slant. I realise that the partition of India is a sensitive issue, but the facts need to be presented in as neutral a manner as possible. Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 07:22, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I think I should let you know about the 3-revert rule.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 02:18, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, as you wished the content to be made more neutral, I did so. But then you have deleted half the content, even the content which was undisputed for months. And why did you delete the part of Sindhi Surnames? This is part of our identity, you must respect it. --K Melwani (talk) 17:23, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Again, I don't think you understood what I meant when I said the article was slanted. If you look at the Talk Page of the article, I have explained that the edits you made used language that casts Muslims as outsiders to Sindh, and Hindus as "true" Sindhis. That bias needs to be addressed. Regarding the section on the surnames, it is long, and poorly written. I removed all the unencyclopaedic content, leaving only the relevant details.

Block

You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

The duration of the block is 24 hours. Here are the reverts in question. William M. Connolley (talk) 22:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Re-blocked

You were blocked for repeatedly reverting on the article Sindhi people - so as soon as your block expires you revert again? I have therefore reblocked you. Also, I found a number of copyright violating images amongst your uploads, which I have deleted and removed from various articles. Do not upload other people's work as your own - continuing to do this will see you blocked for much longer.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to edit-war / copyright violations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Block extension

As you have clearly avoided your block with the account User:Skatergal, whether that be a sockpuppet or meatpuppet, I have extended your block from 72 hours to 7 days. If any further accounts which are clearly yours start to edit the articles which you frequent, then I will have no problem with extending the block further, including indefinitely.

Proposed deletion of Gopal Raghani

The article Gopal Raghani has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable director

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Falcon8765 (talk) 03:17, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
