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)

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. Arun Reginald (talk · contribs) 00:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

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.

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)

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.

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)

Beauties and PR

If you were lucky enough to watch that episode on Nadia Khan's show on Geo TV where Sonia Ahmed and Mahleej Sarkari were invited, you'd know that the Miss Pakistan World pageant is really the hype. At least, when it comes to controversies, the organiser know where to bring the PR campaign. Their serious POV edits which have been proven to be made by the organisers and associates of the pageant are under debate at the article's deletion debate.

Follow-up on the last issue

In the last issue, we discussed about the sectarian issues that Pakistani articles were prone to. For an update, an advocate of the Shi'a faith and its prominent inclusion into the articles, LahoreKid has been banned for an indefinite period. In the process, a citation review project page was created for providing editors with a third-opinion on vague references.

For a in-depth coverage, read the talks here. Some news issues will be addressed shortly and new activities like contests and quizzes would be announced shortly as well.

Talking of sects...

I don't want to sound like a separatist, if I say that for the past few weeks the highest number of edits on anything related to Pakistan have been on articles that concerned Baluchistan. From major editions to the article on Quetta to the 1935 Balochistan earthquake tragedy.

In other news: It is now important for editors to look into the logistics section for gaining or providing support for various things in the article such as graphics or copy-editing. So, if you need copy-editing of an article, or your article lacks a picture, please consult at this page.

i-post

Email to Postal Mail

A convenient free postal mail service which can deliver email messages all over Pakistan. Peoples can now use their email to send letters giving you another route to communicate with others who are not connected to the Internet in Pakistan.

In recent past Internet and e-mail have revolutionized the world of communications. But those who do not have easy access to Internet and e-mail facilities could not get benefits of this facility. In its endeavour to make the benefits of e-mail available to a common man, Al Tayyeb Group has introduced i-post service. By i-post all those who do not have computer or do not have access to Internet can send e-mail by Post Office or receive e-mail through a postman. Those who have access to Internet can also send i-post to those who do not have access to Internet.

Wikipedia should have an article on this social service & must be a part of WikiProject Pakistan.Please comments. --SaqibChaudhry (talk) 09:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Akhtar Hameed Khan on TFA?

Would you be interested in nominating Akhtar Hameed Khan to be placed on Today's Featured Article on the main page? The requests page chooses articles based on a points system, and it looks as if Akhtar Hameed Khan would score very highly on October 9 (the anniversary of Khan's death). If the nomination process seems too complicated, feel free to drop a line at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests; the editors there will help you, if you're interested in nominating the page. On the other hand, if you'd rather wait until the 10th anniversary of Khan's death (next year), I understand. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability of DEMOLOGOS

A tag has been placed on DEMOLOGOS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 83.161.18.159 (talk) 20:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
