[edit] Pashto (Language)

Thanks for your post regarding whether Pashto is an official language in Iran or Pakistan. This is correct it is not an official language of either Pakistan or Iran but it is a recognized regional language of Pakistan. Zee18 (talk) 12:25, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Atif Aslam In Dubai - September 2006.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Atif Aslam In Dubai - September 2006.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 23:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gaddafi Stadium

Hi, can you provide some citation for Gaddafi stadium being the largest cricket ground in the world. Tintin 05:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ideas (retailer)

A tag has been placed on Ideas (retailer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 72.75.73.158 18:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you want a discussion, I'm happy to start one. Don't recreate the article, I'll undelete it and tag for AfD. (No point in PROD, it doesn't start a discussion.) Mango juice^talk 21:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ideas (retailer)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached -- Mailer Diablo 12:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Afinebalance ...

As the author of this article, I would have thought that you would have voiced an opinion on its deletion in the proper forum ... I mean, you went through all the trouble of having it restored after a speedy delete, and now it that the AfD has been extended, this article is still about a retail outlet that has only one store in Karachi ... this stub of an article will probably be Merged into the existing article for Gul Ahmed Textile Mills Limited, the parent company, as just one more subsection. —68.239.79.82 12:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Update:

The result was a shonky merge and redirect. Daniel 09:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Ideas (retailer) is now redirected to Gul Ahmed Textile Mills Limited. —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 21:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Islamabad from Pir Sohawa.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:383605997 24f83f1d84 o.jpg. The copy called Image:383605997 24f83f1d84 o.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 04:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ideas 18.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ideas 18.gif. 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 20:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Hsy_promotional4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hsy_promotional4.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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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 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. Rette tast 18:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:56635.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:56635.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}} 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. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:10, 22 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 03:10, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism : lalak jan

hey can you take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lalak_Jan&diff=164901057&oldid=64955598 this page has been totally messed up. Also, I remember reading an article in paper about Indian Army recommending a pakistani soldier but this is not the first instance where an enemy has been recommended. I vaguely remember another instance in 71 war. The reason why I am not doing this directly is that it might run into a troll. Also you need to always add the rank of soldier with his name.

[edit] WikiProject Pakistan needs you

I saw your name listed at the WikiProject Pakistan's member page. It seems that you have been inactive since January 2008, but if you are still using Wikipedia to read content, why not make a contribution towards the WikiProject. For some time, we have been able to make significant changes on the Wikipedia pages relating to Pakistan and have had mixed success but lesser input. It is time that all the members join their heads together and come up with exciting ways to work on the project. I hope to see you around on WikiProject Pakistan.

[edit] WikiProject Pakistan

WikiProject Pakistan Newsletter

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.

In other news: Akhtar Hameed Khan has finally reached the FA status and Islescape is the happiest person on Earth.
