I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did with this edit to Peshawar, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Gurmukhi

edit
That wasn't Hindi. That was Gurmukhi alphabet - real and original alphabet for Punjabi created by Guru Angad Dev Ji, in the 16th century. All Sikhs and many other Punjabi people write with it. --92.19.110.236 (talk) 13:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

September 2010

edit

  Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Lahore. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Green Giant (talk) 11:43, 22 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

List of diplomatic missions in Pakistan

edit

Please use credible sources when citing information, ie: government websites such as embassies or ministries of foreign affairs rather than off shore companies or insurance companies. The information on those websites are misleading and not credible. Aquintero (talk) 17:39, 02 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Mexico closed its embassy in Pakistan in November 2009. Chile, Albania, and New Zealand do not have embassies in Islamabad. As for Greenland, it is not a country, but is a territory belonging to Denmark! Here are my references:

1) Mexico closes embassy in Pakistan 2) Embassy of Chile in Turkey covers Pakistan 3) Embassy of New Zealand in Iran covers Pakistan. 4) Albania does not have representation in Pakistan.

Please seek consensus from other editors if you continue to doubt my information. Aquintero (talk) 03 November 2010, 16:17 (UTC)

Unexplained deletion of content

edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lahore, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. AtticusX (talk) 10:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Lahore, you may be blocked from editing. Content removals or other edits that appear counterproductive may be explained by providing a rationale in the WP:Edit summary box when you make an edit, or by explaining your intention on the article's talk page.

Illegal copy-pasting of non-free text content

edit

  Your addition to Pakistan – United Arab Emirates relations has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. AtticusX (talk) 11:18, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Kuwait–Pakistan relations has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I strongly recommend that you read WP:COPYPASTE and familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's copyright guidelines before you edit any further. If you continue to add material copied verbatim from external websites, you will be blocked from editing. AtticusX (talk) 11:53, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Your addition to Pakistan – Saudi Arabia relations has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder.

  This is your final warning not to copy-paste text from other websites into Wikipedia articles.

You have been repeatedly warned not to paste copyrighted content into Wikipedia. Doing so endangers the legitimacy of the article and any future edits that might be built on top of yours, so it is treated as a very serious offense. As previously stated, you may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Changing a word here and there is not sufficient to convert copyrighted content into free content. Material you contribute must be written entirely in your own words, except when quoting. You are once again advised to read WP:COPYPASTE and familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's copyright guidelines before editing further.

Despite previous warnings, you have added large blocks of text copied from http://www.daily.pk/saudi-flood-aid-to-pakistan-first-largest-not-politicized-21192/ to the articles Kuwait–Pakistan relations and Pakistan – Saudi Arabia relations. Your edits have been reverted to maintain the articles' legality.

If you continue to violate Wikipedia's copyright policies, you will be blocked from editing. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. AtticusX (talk) 19:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Source MILSTRAT

edit

I see that your addition to Contents of the United States diplomatic cables leak was removed since you used MILSTRAT, a blog, as the source for your added information. I encourage you to try and find reliable sources for this material which can then be included in the article. __meco (talk) 03:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Problems with upload of File:Swat River, Kalam, Khyber-Pukhtoonwha.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Swat River, Kalam, Khyber-Pukhtoonwha.JPG. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

License tagging for File:Glacier, Kaghan Valey.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Glacier, Kaghan Valey.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:05, 29 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

tags for personal pics?

edit

I have no idea how to get a tag? I have taken the pics personally with my Nikon camera, when I visited the area, I did not copy them from any website. So how should I get copyright for my pics? There are so many tags which one is the appropriate for my pics, I have no idea? please help! (QadeemMusalman (talk) 03:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC))Reply

Since you created the pictures yourself, you can choose what license you want to make them available under. I recommend the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike license: it permits anyone to use the pictures, so long as they give you credit and permit anyone to use any modifications they make. The tag for that would be {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} -- you license the image by adding that tag to the image's description page. --Carnildo (talk) 01:02, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Section blanking

edit

  Please do not remove content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Karachi, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Large, sweeping deletions of sourced content such as this should be discussed on the article's talk page first.

Lahore Montage

edit

Well thank you for your suggestions. I was short of very good pictures of Lahore ON wikipedia. These were the ones I only found worth putting in the montage. I love the Badshahi Mosque photo like anything, but the photo was itself cut from the top, I didn't do it. I wish it was properly taken.

Proposed deletion of Pakistan-South Africa relations

edit
 

The article Pakistan-South Africa relations has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

nothing to see here. Re-create the article when there is something to write about.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. noq (talk) 16:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pakistan–Qatar relations

edit
 

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Pakistan–Qatar relations, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Pakistan-Qatar relations. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. VWBot (talk) 14:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

My bot left you a message because you copied and pasted the entire article, which is generally a problem because it means that the original authors of the material are no longer properly attributed. In this case you are the only author so that's not an issue, but there should only be one copy of the article, so you should decide where the article should actually be located (Pakistan–Qatar relations or Pakistan-Qatar relations) and turn the other one into a redirect. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:39, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
In this case I have simply redirected the page to your originally created Pakistan-Qatar relations without waiting for your input because while reviewing the article I noticed some blatant copyright infringements which you have been previously warned about more than once. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:50, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source without verifying permission. You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted, as you did at Pakistan–Qatar relations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.
