Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! --Hemanshu 20:28, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Looking at some of your contributions, I believe that you have an interest in Pakistan-military related articles. I was wondering if you are interested to join this project: WikiProject Pakistani military history. It is a WikiProject designed and intended to focus on the improvement and mantainance of all Pakistani military and military-history related articles on Wikipedia. If you are interested, please list yourself in the participants section.....we are in search of some willing people :) Autsa (talk) 03:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

according to the hbo asia website there is no dedicated beam for pakistan, according to the website pakistan is covered by the hbo south asia beam of which ary digital is the authorized distributor for hbo in the territory of pakistan.

cartoon network had launched a pakistan specific beam which didnt yield out results as they had expected which led the channel to relay the cartoon network hq beam. http://europe.turnerinfo.com/CN/PAN/schedules/index.jsp <--- check out the schedule and match what you see on tv and then give me a buzz. dopekhor

Thanks for contributing to wikipedia. I saw that you have uploaded some pictures. I have added tags to them. Please see Fair_use_rationale and add information to your images. You can check similar images with fairuse tags to see how people are using it. Thanks --Stonewash 10:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job on the Military of Pakistan - United Nations Peacekeeping missions.

Although a list is good, if you can get some text and make it an article instead of a list article. It would be better. Like explaining the history of Pakistan in UN, the number of personnel in UN, why Pakistan send its troops there, what kind of specialties that Pakistani troops offered which no other country did, how did the people in those countries receive Pakistani troops, etc.

Get the proper information and I will help you fix it up. Also, go to other peace keeping missions by other countries and see if this is the standard article name for such operations. Mercenary2k 00:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do this. Message, this person

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kirill_Lokshin

He is the head wikipedian in regards to military matters. Ask him about comments and suggestions for the Pakistani UN Page you created and the appropriate title for it. Mercenary2k 00:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm generally not in favor of using unnecessary punctuation in article titles (it makes them rather messy to link to), so I'd suggest trying to get rid of the dash, at least. I would suggest either one of:

• UN peacekeeping missions involving the military of Pakistan
• UN peacekeeping missions involving Pakistan

or, alternately, if we can trim the UN part, the simpler:

• Peacekeeping operations involving the military of Pakistan
• Peacekeeping operations involving Pakistan

Hope that helps! Kirill Lokshin 01:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great Job on the Pakistani UN Article.

What you could do in the Military of Pakistan page is create a separate section which gives a brief summary of Pakistani UN Missions and give the link to this article. Also, move the Table at the bottom and move the text to the start of this article.

You should also give a brief summary in the start of the article about the histroy of Pakistani UN missions and its current status.

But other than that, a great job. Mercenary2k 05:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you go with this.

Thanks for uploading Image:103 JPG.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. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation 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.

That article it self is totally baseless and irrelevant.

It is not including major global powers such as the Roman Empire, Spanish and Portuguese Empires, the Dutch, Chinese, Byzantine, Persian, etc.

I made changes to the Indian section.

Mercenary2k 02:35, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Great Power. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't read up on that, probably the lack of time these days on my part, meant I assumed it was just a drive by POV tagging as is occuring in many WP articles. Personally I feel that DLinth is pushing the envelope by saying that India controls 100% of the Glacier; I hope you guys can resolve the issue soon. Thanks. --Idleguy 01:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Jf-17-Tarmac.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:103 JPG.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Hi Faraz! I would like to draw your attention to the infobox in all Pakistan military articles. Currently it does not have a flag, as the Pak mil flag uploaded by someone has been deleted. I don't know how to edit this infobox, as there seems to be no link and all i see is {{Pak military}} or something like that. Can you please tell me how this can be fixed? I can upload the Pak mil flag under the proper rationales. Zaindy87 08:36, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:F7pg-5.jpg. I noticed 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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 13:52, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shi'a-Sunni sectarianism! What next?

Wikipedia has always had its fair share of disputes. The issues surrounding debates like creationism-evolutionism had been a source of many edit wars. But recently enough, the ball-of-chaos had landed in our very own court. Pakistani issues are now polluted with a new sectarianism, especially the biographical articles celebrating some of the most influential people in Pakistani politics. These edit wars annoyed administrators who had no idea how the problems should be dealt with. Instances of religious inclination (either Shi'a Islam or Sunni Islam) were changed from one or the other. Debates have kicked off on the WP Pakistan talk page. Recently enough, a new policy has come into discussion (actually, it's just a set of rules) that defines major guidlines for such issues. It now awaits votes from all Pakistani editors.

Hello Faraz,

I'm trying to update Calendar date. When Pakistanis write dates with numerals only, is it true that both the year first (2008-11-16) and day first (16-11-2008) formats are used? Does it make any difference if you're writing in Urdu, English, or state languages? Is the US month-first system ever used?

Dear friend,

You seem to be an active Wikipedian from Pakistan. We have an Urdu Wikipedia that needs all the help that it can get. Currently, we do not have many active users and we will really appreciate if you would consider becoming an active contributor. As you are already familiar with Wikipedia's style and rules, your presence would also help elevate the overall content quality.

Hope to see you soon at Urdu Wikipedia

Hello, I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sukhoi Su-30, but you didn't provide a valid reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial. Please cite to reliable media article and not forum pages per WP:Reliable sources. Regards, -Fnlayson (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My source is IndiaToday TV Channel how is that not realiable? Faraz (talk) 22:28, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, but the other source was still a link to a discussion forum page. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stop misrepresenting what sources say - none of the sources you are using say that Pakistan has claimed that a Su-30 has been shot down or that the pilot has been killed - the claim that a Su-30 has been shot down is attributed to a tweet by a news editor - a tweet by one news editor does not represent the government of Pakistan, or the PAF making the claim and is merely media speculation.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also stop edit warring and use talk page instead. ML ^talk 13:45, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Sukhoi Su-30 ‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
