[edit] Re: GS Review in ArticleHistory

The GA reassessment was a little confusing since it was boldly delisted without going through the standard procedures at WP:GAR. I moved the first and second GA reviews for the article to sub-talk pages within the articles talk space, and linked to both of them via article history. The delisting is a subsection of the GA1 review.

Also, when {{ArticleHistory}} is present, the {{GA}} should not be used, as it is redundant. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding tabs on the WikiProject Pakistan pages

Recently enough, I suggested that the tags be removed from the WikiProject Pakistan pages as they were confusing and adding to the verbosity of the navigational structures whereby two separate navigations, the right hand infobox-like navigation and the tabs were utterly the culprits. I skimmed through the history and located your name as using the tabs recently. Of keeping with the standards of WikiProjects, I am suggesting the removal of tabs from all the pages. In any way would you be able to comment on this I would be highly grateful. You can leave comments on my talk page as well as the original conversation at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pakistan#Should we just chuck the tabs. Thanks.

I see that you just made changes on the {{WP Pakistan Navigation}} template. What are your comments about the tabs on the top. Should we lay them to rest. I think, the template {{WP Pakistan Navigation}} is better than the tabs. What do you think? Plus, as I am clearing things around on the project, I would like you to suggest some things that you need. I will definitely include them in today's update.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Akhtar Hameed Khan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Akhtar Hameed Khan.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 non-free media 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. Polly (Parrot) 21:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[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.

[edit] Hi

Hi Islescape,

I saw your note at Wikipedia:WikiProject International development, and just wanted to acknowledge the work you're doing.

I'm most active at Appropedia these days, which is a wiki for solutions to poverty and sustainability challenges. But I'm active here as well, and if I can help at all, let me know. --Chriswaterguy talk 18:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
