Hi, please do not leave blank pages behind you, they can be confusing to users. You can use the redirect feature, for example #REDIRECT [[Abrar-ul-Haq]] to connect all duplicates with misspelt titles together. Here is the standard blurb about blank pages:

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.

Thanks for the information! I'll take care in future.

Hi,

I liked your message over at the cartoons' talk page. I wanted to ask if you would consider contributing to the Aniconism page, a related subject that is poorly understood, and clearly can use a lot of expansion. Thanks - Tempshill 03:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking time to read my message at the cartoons' talk page. Aniconism is a controversial topic among Muslim scholars. I have read the article and I realize that it needs more clarification. I'll see what can I do and will try to post most accurate information. Thanks again! Szhaider 20:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Abrar-ul-Haq.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I will try to find and upload another image of Abrar with known copyright information. Right now, I cannot find any copyright information about this image. Szhaider 02:11, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Aziz Mian Qawwal.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. SteinbDJ 02:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 22:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I need support in editing the page for Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh from Pakistani-Wikipedians. The page concludes Pakistans link to 9/11 using information from Indian press and much information in that page is without proper references. The page says that ISI gives money to Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Sheikh then wired the money to Atta. I have checked some of the references on that page and information in the references is different from what is mentioned in it. I will appreciate any help because I have very less free time these days... Faisal 16:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Szhaider, I can see from your userboxes that you love cats.

Would you be interested in joining the Wikipedia Cat Lovers' Committee?

If you want to join, you can add yourself to the members list, and contact me, Sergeant Snopake, on my talk page, or the committee founder, GeorgeMoney, on his.

The Wikipedia Cat Lover's Committee has also been nominated for deletion.

Whether you join or not, please could you comment on the deletion page to help keep the committee going.

Please vote keep.

Thank You very much! :)

The concept of Muslim being brother (all for one, one for all) is not a new concept. We being Muslims believe in Khilafat, the concept created by Muhammad (PBUH) and that concept was not created in 1900 as described in the articles with names Pan-Islamism and Muslim Unity. I wish if you can help in doing major modification in Pan-Islamism and Muslim Unity articles. I do not know that what the need of these articles is when a good article of Khilafat already exists. I will really appreciate you help. --- Faisal 21:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:FuzönLarge.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

You have made few important changes in that article. Just want to tell that I need your support to keep your changes. Because it is back in its previous Anti-Pakistani stand. --- Faisal 18:59, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Abrar.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

I believe you are referring to the edits to Roosevelt Island? Refer to Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context. I felt that a link to Setting (fiction) was not entirely relevant to the context of the article, which is about Roosevelt Island. The island was a setting, true, but the article is not about fiction, film, or something of that nature, which would be appropriate for the link. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 12:48, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

Don't do this again. And its also a warning. Szhaider 14:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; please keep calm and remember that action can be taken against other parties if necessary. Attacking another user back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors and leads to general bad feeling. Please try to remain civil with your comments. Thanks! Rama's arrow 14:33, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You make the point. I agree. Szhaider 14:35, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot understand one thing - why do you insist on making Urdu bold, and then why not the others? Its a silly issue. You needn't be concerned that Urdu will be confused by readers as Arabic or not given enough value as the other transliteration. This is a silly issue over which you have broken 3RR. Rama's arrow

Why do consider India to be a threat to world peace and humanity? India pwns 69.158.61.72 02:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC) Szhaider doesnt only consider India a threat to world peace and humanity,we as civilized people oppose all sorts of state terrorism.Nadirali 03:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

Hi Szhaider - may I ask why you insist on making the Urdu transliteration in articles bold? I can't understand why you would be willing to fight edit wars and risk a 3RR block like you already did for seemingly trivial point? Cheers, Rama's arrow 14:17, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Readability! Principle! Pipe like structure of Arial's Urdu font! Szhaider 18:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look Szhaider, the Urdu transliteration is clearly visible and readable - no Indic, Cyrillic or any other script requires such bold fonts. People who don't know Urdu aren't gonna benefit anyway. I don't find your explanation convincing because you chose to make Urdu bold but not Indic script transliterations - you also removed Indic script from the Sindhi transliteration at Karachi. I request you to discuss with other editors before making such unilateral changes. Your behavior is not acceptable as you are an Urdu WP administrator. Rama's arrow 18:20, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indian scripts in Pakistan related pages are irrelevant (even in Allama Iqbal's article). As far as Urdu bold fonts are concerned, I stand by my point. Szhaider 18:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly condemn your behaviour over wikipedia articles. It seems that you just want to increase no of edits. Wikipedia community will never allow such persons having no knowledge of an article and editing and removing things from them as you have done to my created articles like Sheikhan Lalian etc. Abulfazl 06:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I strongly condemn any kind of personal attacks. You should discuss the matter at the relevent talk page instead of here. Word Shaikhan has its roots in Arabic then what's point of adding Gurmukhi. In addition, Shaikhan is in Pakistan where Gurmukhi is not used. As far as Lalian is concerened, English spellings and Urdu/Punjabi word's pronunciation are cleary very different. Either one of them has to be wrong. I think for a town as unknown as Lalian you should provide some kind of citation. Szhaider 13:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Salaam Szhaider! I really appreciate your efforts to add the Urdu script to South Asian articles. One of the reasons I think it's a good idea to keep the Hindi script on the Jal article is because the band has much fame in India. Several of their songs were in Indian Bollywood movies and right now, the band is touring in India in several cities (Jal Official Website). Because Hindi and Urdu are standard registers of the same language and Jal has a large audience in both Pakistan and India, I believe it's okay to have both the Perseo-Arabic and Devanagari script on the article. In fact, Bollywood articles have both scripts for the same reason (i.e. Fanaa, Sarkar, Amitabh Bachchan, etc.) In light of these facts, I hope you don't mind me reinserting the Hindi script for the Jal article. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please let me know. Thanks for your understanding. Khuda hafiz, Anupam^Talk 04:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Putting Hindi (or Divangari) in first line alongside Urdu gives a wrong idea as if Divangara is standard in the Band's country of origin. You can put Divangari in Etymology section whcih will make more sense as Jal is a very informal and almost obselete word in Urdu. Thanks! Szhaider 05:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not add Urdu scripts to specifically Indian articles. I add Urdu script to only those articles whcih are relevent to Pakistan. Szhaider 05:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Rambo sahiba.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok 20:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any guidelines available for connecting Wikipedia with a software written in Visual Basic 6? I am intending to write a software for Urdu Wikipedia for quickly editing and repairing common mistakes. Szhaider 23:11, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should post this at WP:BOTS to get a response. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 18:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have already started to work on my project. I think I have figured out a way by myself. Szhaider 19:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you look into WP:AWB. It is a software program that helps fix common spelling mistakes and does much more. You will have to make sure the program allows for editing Urdu wiki. If Urdu is not listed, request for it to be added on the talk page. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 19:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the group of flags in your list of countries that are a threat to democracy.I have to say I 100% agree with you.I would just like to suggest Saudi Arabia's flag. Reasons: -It's a dictatorship closely allied with America -it supports political terrorism in Pakistan -It considers Pakistanis(as well as all south asians) as "miskins" or "beggars"

If you are uncomfartable with adding the green flag with "there is no God but Allah and Muhammed is his messenger",then simply place the tale logo of Saudi Arabian airlines as a flag to a draw a line between Islam and Saudi fanaticism.ThankyouNadirali 16:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

I also agree aobut religious scripts being used on flags such as SA,Iran etc.

Im glad you agree with me.This is how wikipedia should spread with colloboration of people who seek truth and knowledge where they can share that truth and knowledge. Nadirali 16:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

I would request you not to remove project tags from talk pages. The idea of tagging articles is not to mark territory, but to improve the related articles. These articles will otherwise be invisible to the project members. Further discussion on this can be found here. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 22:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed.--D-Boy 23:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree you do have a point that pre-1947 "History of India" articles should be neither Republic of India nor Pakistan-specific. At present, material of History of India is largely duplicated at History of Pakistan. This is not satisfactory, and I would support a merger of the two articles to History of South Asia. History of Pakistan and History of the Republic of India should both just treat the post-1947 period, while History of India and History of South Asia should be the same article. If you want to adopt this question, a polite and balanced proposal should be made to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian history (while unilateral changes are pointless, they will just be reverted if no consensus is established first). dab (ᛏ) 08:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC) I disagree.That would be saying that Chinese history belongs to all of east Asia,when in fact it belongs to China.FOr sure it should be Pakistani history specificly.Nadirali 16:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

Szhaider, No one is stopping you from adding South Asia and Pakistan project tags. But please stop removing India project tags from Indian history articles. We went through discussion at WT:INB to add a pre=yes for pre-independence articles so that the India flag is suppressed. If you continue to remove India project tag, I will have to report you to WP:ANI and it will result in a block. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 17:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Szhaider,if Gansk does report you to the board of wikipedia administrators as he threatens,I want to add my full support for your edit wars and removal of unjustified tags on the page.The memembers of the board will hear my full support for your actions if members of the board do have to intervine or demand an explaination,I offer full verbal support.I already informed Gansk of my support for your edit actions.

The history of south asia page is as neutral as it can get,though I preffer it to be placed on the Pakistani history page and be left alone there.

Hello Szhaider,thanks for appriciating my support.I'll need some support from you as well as well as other honest wikipedians to fight the growing corruption here on wikipedia.

User:Erielhonan has personal problems with me and is now threatening to report my "bad behaviour"  and so-called "hostility" to the wikipedia board of administrators.This is her retaliation for a personal fued between us and a direct abuse of authority as an administrator.

I warned her that I vowed to fight corrupt administrators who use their powers for personal benifit.I did not accuse her of corruption or double-game,but I simply warned her that all wikipedians must have equal rights and those who try to overcome the rights of others as users or administrators will be reported.She merely rebuffed my warnings as "threats to shut wikipedia" and "crusade posture"

She also called my comments on talk pages "very nationalist".I'll need someone to help me correct that lable she has given my comments.

If this user/administrator does report me based on her false alligations,I will need some support from you.If members of the wikipedia administrators board do question me.

Please as soon as you get this message,go to her talk page and read what I have said,before deciding what allegations she has made are true or not.If you beleive what I say is true,I'll need you to help convince her Write to her.(Her conversations have been archived but the box is on the discussion page) Thanks alot,I will be very grateful if you do this for me as a freind and fellow wikipedian.Nadirali 03:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

Hello Szhaider.I Dont think I'll be needing the support after all.I think I finally outsmarted this person and she also realized she couldnt prove anything against me in order to seek administrative assistance.But thanks anyway. However,the corruption of some administrators does worry me.You were right to say user/administrator Granesh is part of the dispute.After reading his threats to report you to the administrative board,I also read of another Indian user who was part of the dispute,removing tags,just gets a request to stop doing what he's doing instead of getting a threat to be reported.I'll see what I can do about it later.Best regards.Nadirali 16:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)Nadirali[reply]

Having a templage on your userpage stating that you consider certain entire countries 'threats' is going to make people take a very jaundiced view of any edits you make, and discount any suggestions you make. Please consider removing it. Hornplease 19:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How can you honestly say that you consider India to be a threat to world peace, when Pakistan is the reason why India did not sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in the first place!!! If anyone is a threat to world peace, it's countries like Pakistan that have no sense of peace and calmality in the world. If Pakistan was not such an aggresive and violent neighbour India would be at much more peace.Second of all, you say that you believe that Afghanistan is a threat to world peace.Pakistan, however, contradictially,along with the I.S.I is hiding Afghanistani based terriorists, and is a world known fact that it hid Usama Bin Laden form being caught for his evils, who was "coincidentally" from Afghanistan, a country he called home and loved....

Hi SzHaider, I saw the above request on your userpage. It seems that you're quite interested in knowing about your family history. It's always good to have a keen interest in the knowledge of one's history. And I think it's my duty to let you know about your family history. Yeah, I know very much about your family history. Your family origins trace back to the region of Punjab. Your ancestors were Hindus and your family converted to Islam some two centuries ago. Since then you've been a Punjabi nationalist. But the point remains that your ancestors were Kaffirs and you're too one. We Balochis are the real nationalists and we'll defeat you guys.

Your recent deletion of an article on Saeed khan Rangeela is vandalism. The article was written by a renowned newspaper of Pakistan. You can also verify the information by google search on Saeed Khan Rangeela. Your editing is false and full of insufficient reliable published sources independent of the subject. Moreover, the emphasis should be on Saeed Khan Rangeela and not on some Unknown looser Jamil Khan who have no record of anysort. I hope you don't mess up with my eidting again.

Hello Szhaider,it's Nadirali.

In regards to the Pakhub article which was "legally deleted" under pressure from Indian nationalists and laballed as "spam",I may repost it,but the problem is it was quickly voted to be removed and I fear the same again.

The vote seemed quite "fair" in the rather short "discussion" of Indian and jewish voters.

The article is not spamming as Pakhub is a non-for profit site.There are articles on for profit sites such as ebay.There are also articles on sites such as youtube and stormfront,but niether are laballed "spam" for obvious reasons.

How should I be able to re-post the Pakhub article without them having it "voted" out? I seek your advise because you've dealt with these nationalists and biased administrators in the past.

Happy New year and Eid mubarak.

Hi,
In the arlicle on Jon Elia, his name is spelt 3 different ways. Up until #Life, it is "Jon", then it is once spelt "Joan", then in the rest of the article it is spelled "Jaun" and occasionally "Jon". I do realise that all three are ways of rendering the original into English. Indeed, Googling "Jon Elia" urdu gives 612 hits (number 1 the fine article itself :-)), "Jaun Elia" urdu gives 385 an d "Joan Elia" urdu gives 23.
However, should the transliteration used in the article's title be used all the way through, and a note made of the variations? I found it initially a little confusing.
Await your thoughts. --Shirt58 04:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - done. Please check out the updated article to see what you think.

Please please don't drag the salwar kameez article into the morass of Indo-Pak hostility and posturing. I'm trying to keep that stuff OUT of the article. I'm not Indian, I'm not Pakistani, but I sew and wear salwar kameez, I work on costume history articles. So far, we've been keeping the nationalism out of costume history. Clothes don't belong to any particular nation/religion/culture. They're too easily imitated. Clothing fashions change and spread. Especially salwar kameez, because they're comfortable :)

Look at my user page and talk page and note how many times I've been called a Pakistani and how much some of the Indian editors hate me. I'm not resisting you because I'm some militant Indian nationalist. Don't react with blind determination to "claim" the article for Pakistan. Zora 07:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think the threats to World Peace template on your userpage is distasteful and violates the guidelines set out in WP:UP. Your user page is not for you to express your own opinions. I am sure you are a nice person and a good wikipedian and ask for you to remove it. Thanks. frummer 12:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Szhaider, thanks for expanding the article. I noticed in your edits, you spelled the festival as Chaand Raat as opposed to Chand Raat. Your way of transliteration is more accurate as the word is pronounced with a long a. Would you mind if I moved the article from Chand Raat to Chaand Raat? With regards, Anupam^Talk 00:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input. I'll go ahead and make the move. Shukria, Anupam^Talk 00:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please keep an eye on these articles. These articles are being rewritten by Indians from Hindutva perspective. Siddiqui 03:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten Pakistani nationalism by removing Indian propanda. Can you pleaase review my changes and try to keep this version. I am hoping more Pakistanis contributors will pool thier efforts.

Siddiqui 14:50, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Szhaider.[here is the discussion page where we can state our objections about Pakistani related items being categoized by the Indian editors].

best regards.Nadirali 04:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please check following page where Indian contributors have made accusation against Pakistani contributors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents Siddiqui 02:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saddiqui,I have posted there.Do not hesitate to ask for any further assistance if needed.These imperialists are disrupting wikipedia and violating its policies.Nadirali 06:44, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Szhaider - I don't want to get into a revert war. I draw your attention to this discussion, which resulted in a consensus to distinguish the nationals of the Republic of India from those of previous times by a providing a link to India (disambiguation). However, it does not change the fact that both Jinnah and Iqbal are known as "Indians." There was never any British South Asia, British Indian or any such compromise - Jinnah and Iqbal are both on record describing themselves and the country as "India." Even Iqbal's address of Allahabad referred to a Muslim state for northwestern "India." Rama's arrow 04:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot claim anything as "Facts" when you provide no references. Additionally, you have been warned many times not to engage in revert-wars - you insist on renewing the very same content disputes that have been previously tackled many times over. Please inform yourself of the following - WP:POINT, WP:NPOV, WP:CITE, WP:BLP. And I might warn you that POV-pushing, which you openly avow is absolutely unacceptable. Rama's arrow 00:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can easily counter about a "Paki" cabal, can't I? So don't lets get into accusations. What WP wants is reliable sources and NPOV and you cannot ignore convention. I have never ever heard of anybody being described as from the "Indian subcontinent" or "British South Asia." These have never been ways to describe somebody - no subject of the British Empire as been known as "British Indian," "British Nigerian," etc. Don't invent terms to suit your perceptions.

It is to your advantage to see the behavior of user:Spasage. He and I had a frank discussion by which we resolved this very issue. A broader discussion with many users resulted in a good guiding principle. I respect the fact that the "India" pre-1947 was different, but you can't stop using the term "Indian" as you cannot revise history. The people of that era were always known as Indians. Jinnah and Iqbal always spoke in terms of India and Indians. Iqbal called for a separate state for the "Muslims of northwestern INDIA." The "partition of India" was a term coined for that very purpose. I don't care if you don't agree - this is convention and widely-accepted, which means we can't invent new terms and interpretations. That's not what WP is for - if you want to argue a new interpretation, do it somewhere else. Rama's arrow 17:13, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. - this is hardly "my" version. Both Jinnah and Iqbal are featured articles, approved by the community of editors as amongst the best on Wikipedia. Rama's arrow 17:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

and pa's in edit summaries

Please stop. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Thank you.

Please see this diff, and explain it. Yuser31415 23:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simply because someone is continually edit warring does not mean that is an excuse for making personal attacks. In fact, you should be doing the opposite - staying cool, and taking it to the administrator's noticeboard if needed. Unfortunately, this has given Rumpel a chance to report you on WP:ANI#Many Personal attacks from User:Szhaider, with diffs to back it up. An apology might be suffice. Yuser31415 23:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be offline for a few hours; I shall reply then. Yuser31415 00:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts, I will strikethrough my warning; I see your intentions were good, but please, next time you find yourself in a similiar situation, keep your WP:COOL. Take your problem to WP:ANI. There are lots of people who are more than willing to help you.

Best wishes, Yuser31415 00:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Purdah. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. (This is about the following diff: [4]) — Sebastian 00:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed "India" to "South Asia" in the Pajamas article in all the places where it can be done (i.e. outside of a direct quote). Thanks for your comment. I agree "South Asia" is the correct (and more neutral term). BTW, I am not Hindu and (although I would love to own a few plantations on a tropical island) I'm not an imperialist either as you suggested in one of your edit summaries. Sorry about mispelling your name. I'll be more mindful in the future; it's just that where I live Sch... is a common last name beginning. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 00:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was it this one: [5]? What a coincidence that I just posted this a minute ago! — Sebastian 00:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A fact. See his conributions on Pakistani movies, songs, and multiple Islamic articles. Szhaider 00:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really believe you can eliminate all people you disagree with by bullying them? There is no reason to call someone "obsessed" and commandeer them "Stop doing it" if he doesn't violate any of our policies. — Sebastian 01:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What would you call Indianizing articles and adding irrelevent script and vigorously resisting if corrected. Szhaider 01:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[6] This is the ANI report filed, on basis on which a lengthy block is justified. Rama's arrow 00:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Arrow, you did the right thing. That said, Szhaider may have a point about your name. I'm no expert, but I'm willing to take the complaint seriously. Szhaider, when you're unblocked and you still feel that way, give me a message, and we'll take it from there. But only if you promise to follow WP:NPA from now on. — Sebastian 00:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC) (addition 01:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

As I have told Yuser31415 they were not deliberate personal attacks. In my belief, my messages have been interpreted wrongly although I asumed good faith in posting them. As I have mentioned that User:Anupam has vigorously added Devangari scripts to tens of Pakistan and Islam related articles. He even supported Gurmukhi scrip in Abrar-ul-Haq article too. He often adds Indic scripts to totally irrelevent articles and User:Rama's Arrow has always supported him. As for my userpage, I do feel extremely offeneded if I or my ancestors are attributed with any religion other than Islam. See the offence on my talk page. Szhaider 01:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For goodness' sake! I could laugh at all this if not for your behavior. How many times I've attempted to get you to discuss and resolve problems? I even cited an example where we resolved the Indo-Pak nationality question with great decency, as Wikipedians. And I beg your pardon most strongly when I say, if somebody made a callous remark you respond with insinuating that it is an insult to be called "Hindu," and start firing off against Hindu editors with choice words such as "Hindu imperialism," "Indian cabal???" Do you interpret WP:NPA as non-applicable for an eye-for-an-eye response? You knew that the fellow who made that callous remark was obviously a POV-pusher, so why take him seriously and make a court case out of it by letting others know that you will not stand being associated with Hinduism? You dig your own grave by making such insensitive and offensive comments. Rama's arrow 01:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are an extremely biased admin. I am amazed you got this position. You have been very active to support Hindu editors in edit wars by not taking any action when they were engaged in edit wars. You yourself should be blocked for violating 3RR rule in Iqbal. Even your nickname is a symbol of Hindu imperialism and POV pushing. You are the one of the worst violators of Wikipedia policies. It is not your position to block any user. Szhaider 01:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You do realize that you're still under WP policies, rite? If you keep making accusations and attacks, I or another admin can and prolly will extend your block. Please take this time to cool off and revisit the policies - if the block is upheld, the least you can do is to learn from your mistakes and return a calmer, better editor. I have no concern regarding your POVs - that is not my business nor of any use to me - but I do expect a change in conduct. Rama's arrow 01:47, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And you are too under WP policies which you have been violating. You should unblock me as a violator cannot accuse others. I am cool but you should stop taking side silently and should be as neutral as possible otherwise, I will complain against you formally, as blocking me is one heck of a proof against you.
