[edit] Edits Reverted

Hi,

I've responded to your comments on my talk page. Sukh 13:24, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've replied again on my talk page. Sukh 15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Hi, Please contribute in Pakistan:Talk where discussion is going on about whether to include reference to pakistani support to terrorism or not. King1 08:24, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edits reverted

I've taken a look at your contributions to wikipedia. You claim to be a "fan" and to have made "many contributions". However, your contributions show that your changes are mainly POV, and that you have only contributed from June 12th of this month. Furthermore those changes were to the Khalistan article, and you're currently adamant about reverting the article to a POV version. Please - wikipedia is not a place for you to further your views. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്) 17:35, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Aurangzeb

Hi, Would you take a look at Aurangzeb? Sikh sacrifices deserve mention there. IndiBoy 09:20, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Military of Pakistan

Would you be interested in discussions on this (Talk:Military of Pakistan) particular page?--PrinceA 00:09, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Khalistan Article Review

I've reviewed the Khalistan article and the reasons for my changes are listed on the talk page. Please review them. If you have a problem with anything I've done, please comment on the talk page BEFORE going to edit the page. Sukh 19:04, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Rather than trying to come to some sort of agreement about your changes - some of which may be valid - you went ahead and reverted the page to what it used to be. I was trying to compromise and you certainly don't seem able to do the same. If you continue to make such changes *without* discussing each and every controversial point on the talk page, I will get the page locked. That means neither you or I will be able to edit it until the dispute is resolved.
Please be more grown up about this. You can have a discussion on the talk page and voice your concerns but you seem intent on pasting tonnes of junk into the article. I'm not saying your additions are not valid, but carrying on making the changes like you are doing will ultimately make it harder for YOU to have your say. Sukh 20:29, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop adding your POV to articles.

This is a warning. Please stop adding your POV to articles. What you are doing is akin to vandalism. Thanks. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്) 4 July 2005 19:59 (UTC)

[edit] I have requested arbitration

I have requested arbitration in this matter. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്)

[edit] Please stop adding your POV anonymously.

It would seem that you are reverting the articles from the following IP's:

The persons at those IP's are reverting the articles to your own version, and so it leads me to the conclusion that you are the one doing the editing. Please, you are not helping your case by engaging in this sort of behaviour. I am asking you once again, please discuss the changes you want to make, before you make them. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്) 01:41, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

The edits that have been made, conform to the edits that you made previously, using your username. It is more than evident that you have vandalized the Nair page - the history shows that you did it with your username. It is highly improbable that an anonymous user would make the exact same edits that you have made - anyone can see that. Furthermore, your amusing statement about me acting like the "Indian Government" and accusing me of being "The judge, the jury, and the executioner" is a laughable hyberbole at best. It also only serves to show that it may very well be you making the edits, since it conforms to your view. This isn't very hard to prove. Also, you should know that the Indian media isn't state controlled - saying this shows a severe deficiency of information on your part. Also, I do not live in India. I live in the West - this is irrelevant since the sources of information open to you, would be open to me, were I in India. At any rate, the matter is undergoing arbitration. I am asking you right now to please discuss your changes instead of continuing down this completely unproductive path. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്) 00:20, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Revert Wars

How childish this is all getting. This could have been resolved amicably long ago with a simple discussion, which evidentally you were unable to participate in. Now if everyone has finished reverting, maybe we can discuss this? I propose a SIMPLE solution:

  • Revert all disputed pages to the original version before Vivin, You or I touched them. Agree that nobody will touch these pages unless reverting vandalism.
  • Set up a Work In Progress page on Talk which we can work on together.
  • Highlight:
  • Points in dispute - Reputable sources *must* be quoted for points that Vivin, You or I think are wrong.
  • Points that should be added - Reputable sources *must* be quoted for *any* new points
  • Discuss and edit the mentioned points.

Surely this is an acceptable compromise? It may take a couple of weeks to get a working article together, but maybe it could prevent the constant reverting of pages?! Surely this has gone on long enough.

I completely agree with Sukh. This is a very reasonable proposition. Thetruth, I hope you will consider this. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്)
I've had Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Operation Blue Star and Khalistan protected - all to the last version that wasn't blanket changed/vandalised. Thetruth, are you ready now to discuss this in a civilised manner? I'd be more than happy to work with you to get an article that shows all sides of the story and which we can all agree on.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Kpsgill.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kpsgill.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking 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. Shyam (T/C) 19:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Sant.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sant.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. I also notice that the image is not used in any articles, so deletion is likely.

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

Thanks. Weatherman90 22:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bhatia.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bhatia.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 00:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 00:25, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
