Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Latifa Raafat

edit

I think this is a sock puppet id which tries to vandalize articles such as this one and most of all these. I have requested an investigation Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Latifa Raafat here. Sharif uddin (talk) 18:52, 9 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am surprised by this accusation. I removed unsourced WP:OR from Hindu–Islamic relations. You, the accuser User:Sharif uddin, have reverted the article back to a version with the following tags,
This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (November 2010)
This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2010)
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (October 2014)
etc.
Clearly, 4+ years cite request wait for WP:V sources is enough, and the tags state "unsourced materials and original research should be removed". For my edit, I left the following edit summary, "remove OR, remove personal essay, unsupported text with cite pending request for years, this article needs major overhall."
Peruse WP:NRSNVNA, where different members of wiki community and Jimbo Wales suggest,
To ensure verifiability, the presence of cited reliable sources in articles is non-negotiable. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we are encyclopedists. We are not compilers of personal knowledge, we are compilers of published information.
I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative "I heard it somewhere" pseudo information is to be tagged with a "needs a cite" tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. – Jimbo Wales, 16 May 2006
Instead of bad faith accusations, help me improve that article by citing sources, and replacing OR with better content. Latifa Raafat (talk) 18:43, 11 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

I don't know what sockpuppet investigations mean, But your sock page is deleted by someone named Mike V. Why I can't delete or create a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aceticrpose mard aurat (talkcontribs) 18:17, 12 May 2015 (UTC) You said that, :I am surprised by this accusation.

But the real statement were:

It clearly mentions that, the cites were not 4+ years but 1 year. why have you lied? Sharif uddin (talk) 21:27, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Aceticrpose mard aurat, Mike V deleted the "sock complaint page", not the "your sock page". Mike V is an admin, who can delete pages and complete/close/decline investigations. If you want to nominate pages for deletion, read wikipedia's WP:DELETE and WP:PG. Welcome to wikipedia.
@Sharif uddin, you have been blocked a few times, in recent months, by different wikipedia administrators for bad faith actions (for example here). Do not harass me or others with bad faith accusations of impropriety. I invite you to join me in the coming weeks as I add cites, remove OR, delete unsourced speculative information and improve the Hindu–Islamic relations article.

Hi dear user, though we have some difference of opinion, still I appreciate your writing because you write with proper sources attached. Can you help me for finding some sources regarding article Human rights abuses in Jammu and Kashmir? This article lacks NPOV and my sourced matter has been reverted many times. You are good in finding various reports and books. Can you help me? Thank you. --Human3015 talk • 03:24, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker) And this article also Human rights violations in Balochistan.--C E (talk) 04:22, 16 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Jizya article edit

edit

Hello! It seems you edited the Jizya article and you deleted my entry stating 'no need to repeat the orthodox rationale', however that article didn't originally incorporate it. Regards. --HakimPhilo (talk) 22:11, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Notifying a User in talkpage

edit

Latifa Raafat, I noticed you have tried to ping Aceticrpose mard aurat and Sharif uddin by putting @ before their usernames.

This is how you notify somebody: ping by adding {{ping|Username}} or {{u|Username}} to your message.

As @Aceticrpose mard aurat:, or Aceticrpose mard aurat. Otherwise they won't get any notification from you.


If you post on a User:talk page, the user is already notified and you won't have to ping him or mention him. In case you know this already, Happy editing. --Cosmic  Emperor  14:37, 5 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Wael B. Hallaq. Shariah: Theory, Practice and Transformations. Cambridge University Press. 2009, p. 332.

edit

Hello may I ask where did you get this book or where to access, is it possible you can send it to me. I was confused since it seems Mr.Hallaq wrote another book in the same year of 2009, which threw me of guard when I searched him in WorldCat,I will be much obliged. RussianDewey (talk) 02:19, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I added ISBN code yesterday for the Hallaq book published by Cambridge University Press. It is not a free book. Either purchase it, or visit a good library. Latifa Raafat (talk) 15:18, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I understand it is not a free book, i never implied it was, I was trying to exchange resources as many Wikipedians have done. I was wondering how did ou access the book? The closest library to that has the book is far away and I'm busy taking summer classes. RussianDewey (talk) 17:24, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
