request for allowing me to remove unnecessary info

I removed an article as it indicated a specific agenda and also because i felt it was not relevant to the section tourism in pakistan the particular wikipedia article is supposed to be only about pakistan tourism not about its political and economic state and also the guardian article author made it clear that she was telling her opinion only yet it was being treated as a fact. There were a lot of conspiracy theories included too. The opinions of people were treated as mere fact this type of bias is not seen in other tourism pages then why only here. The info was useless too like how does tourism distract from the political and economic state never seen anyone being distracted or say the countrys issues dont exist also there were things in the original news article not specifically about the wikipedia article yet they were manipulated to show as if they were about the article. Knightknight12345 (talk) 17:16, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for getting in touch. I've had another quick look at the information you want to remove and in my opinion the information is relevant and from a cursory look the sources seem to support it. If you want to discuss it further I would encourage you to go to the article's talk page. Thanks. Jtrrs0 (talk) 17:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, @Knightknight12345, please see the message I left on your talk page and please don't remove things, even your own comments from my Talk page without discussing it with me first. Thank you. Jtrrs0 (talk) 18:11, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

My mistakes.

Hello, you told me that my edits made to the Markos Botsaris page have been reverted, due to them not being constructive. I am sure that you must be talking about the fact that I labeled him as an Arbanite, and changed his name to the Albanian way (Marko Boçari). You call my edits unconstructive, but you and many other editors make his page so that he may seem like he was a Greek, but when you look st what he was, it says that he was a Suliote. The first sentence when I opened that page was: "The Souliotes were an Orthodox Christian Albanian tribal community in the area of Souli in Epirus from the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century, who via their participation in the Greek War of Independence came to identify with the Greek nation.". He was a Suliote, and Suliotes were an Albanian tribal community. Now this is enough evidence that you have made a mistake reverting my edits on the page of Markos Botsaris, I hope you will anwser. Andi Atdhetari (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello. First of all, I have no interest or desire in making it seem that he was a Greek or anything else. Frankly, I don’t care one way or the other. Please don’t assume that other editors are being malicious.

I have reviewed the edits I reverted and read the article’s Talk page and I am convinced I did the right thing in reverting your edits. You should not make changes that are contrary to the consensus in the Talk Page of an article. In my view, the consensus is that the current version of his name is correct. If you really think this is wrong I’d encourage you to try and convince other editors of your point of view with good, reliable sources. Jtrrs0 (talk) 15:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Removal Of My Comment.

Hello.

Whilst I somehwat agree I did not phase it in the nicest way possible my point still stands so may I re add it nicer. Regent001 (talk) 13:08, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. If you do please make sure your comments adhere to the policy on being neutral and that they don’t constitute Vandalism Jtrrs0 (talk) 14:04, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Closure

Hello Jtrrs0, I hope you are doing well. I'm not particularly experienced with rfc closures, that's why I'm reaching out to you. If I'm not mistaken, an editor who opens an rfc is normally capable of closing it as well. As we discussed at the talkpage, an rfc closure might be the best solution at the moment considering that no major dispute arose prior to it, and this discussion could (re-)open old or newer disputes. Piccco (talk) 00:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. I hope you're doing well too. I am also not very experienced on closures but I agree that the RfC is premature. I will leave it be for today and close it tonight/tomorrow if the consensus still seems to be for a close with no action. Thanks and apologies for the mistake on my part!

Request to allow me to remove a section that is not neutral from an article

Hi. A couple of months ago you left a message on my talk page in which you reverted the changes I made to an article. I made the changes because I thought that the particular section was not neutral. Furthermore the news article it linked to was an opinion piece. The article is very long and needs a cleanup. Therefore I think the section should be removed. It is unnecessary and not neutral. Furthermore it doesn't fit with the articles tone. So kindly allow me to remove it. Thanks Knightknight12345 (talk) 14:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. If you mean the edits you made to Tourism in Pakistan then please discuss them in the Article's Talk page so other interested users can contribute. As far as I can remember the article you wanted to remove seemed relevant to me, but please discuss it on the Talk page. It would be helpful if you could explain why you think it is biased. I don't think it's an opinion piece. It's a Long Read which just means it's a longer investigative piece. Jtrrs0 (talk) 16:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

About the article,think it's not neutral and too sensationalist. Actually, the whole section is. It is too off the tone. It all seems a little extra. Plus the page needs a cleanup and it is too long. What if I remove the whole section(image and influencers). Would it break rules. I am experienced editor now. I have contributed to many articles.Knightknight12345 (talk) 17:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

When I read it back then the section and the article seemed fine to me. If you disagree, I would prefer if you discussed it in the Article's Talk Page because there may be other editors who are interested and experienced there. Thank you. Jtrrs0 (talk) 17:38, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your time Knightknight12345 (talk) 17:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

ps. will I have to make a request in the talk page. Will other editors immediately respond to me? Knightknight12345 (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I do think you should make a request there. It is how we deal with disputed material. People often put pages they are interested in on their watchlist and so editors who are interested will be notified. It is unlikely that they will respond immediately but it should not take too long to get some responses. Jtrrs0 (talk) 19:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
