This is my second appeal for unblocking (I have previously sent a request email to the administrator PeterSymonds). My IP has been blocked due to actions of User NisarKand. For some reason I cannot edit pages through my account. I have had this issue before also when the IP was blocked due to actions of the same user and it was affecting my account.
Accept reason:
I've set a flag that should allow you to edit through the range block; please re-activate this request if that did not work. Kuru(talk)14:43, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Punjab wikiproject
Hi! Actually the Punjab wikiproject covers the entire historical region Punjab and not only the "Punjab" state of Pakistan. Likewise the Punjab Wikiproject also covers the historical region of Punjab in India, and not only India's "Punjab" state.
Likewise the "Punjab" subproject of WP Pakistan only refers to the state of Punjab
The portal reflects the wider Punjab region and not only the Punjab state in Pakistan.
Hello Samar! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.
If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

No problem. Will be glad to have you back. We're working to get Pakistan through FAC we nominated... might be good to have extra hands when ever available. :] --lTopGunl (talk)11:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes. But unfortunately I have many promises on wikipedia to keep (adding ref to my created articles, Assessments for IND, etc) So I m unable to assess articles for this project. But I try my best to improve the project :) Yasht10107:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
hey
I was thinking to nominate Pakistan for GA status. Perhaps needed your help as I m already busy with 5 more articles to be nominated in future and you might be having more knowledge of the country then me obviously. Your help will be really valuable. Yasht10113:24, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Renominated here (as a courtesy, I am informing everyone who has not yet commented in the new discussion, but was part of the original discussion). 198.102.153.2 (talk) 19:45, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Has been renominated.... for the third time here. Informing people who were part of prior discussions, as courtesy. Mar4d (talk) 03:23, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Wow! To be honest I am even not interested any more. It seems like a few Indian editors are in permanent war with you and Top Gun. Good luck.
Lol, some people never get tired :/ Nevertheless, you are invited and encouraged to share your opinion if you have any, at the TfD discussion. Good work with the lists. Leave me a message with whatever you need help on. Mar4d (talk) 12:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
I believe the name is "Ankara Kaur" because that is the spelling I have seen several news publications use. See the references I have added to Akra Kaur Dam. Mar4d (talk) 14:19, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Its Akra Kaur, I have never heard of Ankara Kaur or it being referred to as Ankara. Let me see the references in detail, maybe that's another dam or a name confusion because in all official resources the dam is Akra. Samar (Talk . Contributions) 15:39, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Akara is the name of a small settlement in Baluchistan near Gawadar, there is also a stream called Akara river or Akara Kaur (Akara refer to the place, Kaur in Balochi means stream) so the dam is named after the stream as Akra Kaur Dam. I know of no other dam in the proximity so Ankara Kaur is probably a second name (maybe misspelled name). Will add it as an alternate name in the article. Samar (Talk . Contributions) 16:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Right, thanks for clarifying. You're right, if Akra Kaur is indeed the name mentioned in official sources, then Ankara Kaur is most likely an alternative name. Mar4d (talk) 16:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks a ton! Just 1 last help sir. On 14 August, the flag hoisting event takes place in numerous places including Islamabad, where the President and Prime Minister hoist the national flag at the Presidential and the Parliament building -> I'm struggling with this. Better words for Presidential and the Parliament building? or link? or a re-word or re-phrase? As the source doesn't say much about it. This is the only "troublesome sentence" in the article. Thanks again for your help so far :) TheSpecialUserTSU11:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
I added few sources here– can you please check if you find some useful information on the background/history of Independence day (not Independence movement)! --Tito Dutta✉17:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, I went through the links, will see in detail to add material. See that's the hard part, to add material relevant to independence day and not independence.
I'm really sorry for my careless edits.I tried to rectify them.Hope you don't mind .BTW please consider placing a userbox in your userpage to indicate gender so that no more misunderstandings occur....Cheers and Sincerely :) TheStrikeΣagle16:28, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! I don't mind being called he, she, or it :) I didn't even see that comment.
Oh and I gave a small explanation for my removal of names (bullets 2 and 3). If that didn't help should have asked for a further elaboration from me, if that wouldn't have worked out just add the material again, reverting 9 edits and assuming bad faith on my part was too quick. That has put me off from editing in the area again. You really know the art :) (No sarcasm or baiting or anything, honest) SamarTalk16:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
:) I actually told Mike to ask an explanation from you due to lack of clarity in edit-summaries.Thanks for quickly responding in the talk.That was really helpful.Glad we are going in the right direction. Cheers TheStrikeΣagle16:57, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Eid Mubarak!.....Try this special variant of Haleem....The Hyderabad Haleem! It is quite famous here and people relish it.I never had it(I'm a veggie).I hope you like it ;) TheStrikeΣagle06:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Once it gets GA, yes I do aim for a FA out of it. The best thing to be done would be going for a peer review after the GA which itself is as helpful as a PR would have been. Thanks! TheSpecialUserTSU01:24, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
