Wa Alaikum Salam Mr Rajnath Thanks for nice comments. This tree is still found in our Jhang district Sargodha and Faisalabad and south Punjab specially inside graveyads.

Welcome[edit]

Dear Abul, Salam-wale-kum

Have been searching information for the Vann Tree for ages. Since you have contributed a great deal to this article I wish to pay my thanks to you. Abul, i don't know what is special in this tree but I am emotionally attached to this tree since the late 50s when i was living in the Punjab on the India side. Our farmers are uprooting this tree as its wood is considered no good.As all the land is irrigated, tree is becoming defunct, still, there are some in Rajasthan and Bathinda Dist of Indian Punjab. I am impressed with your achievements. I am 59 years old retired Punjabi bank official settled in Karnal. I shall feel privileged if you will respond. Khuda Hafiz Raj Sharma 093550-71809

Hi there, I notice in the lead section for Faisalabad you changed Urdu to Punjabi. Could you please explain why that script is Punjabi and not Urdu? Thanks in advance. Green Giant 22:38, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because Faisalabad is acity in Punjab province and punjabi language is spoken there which has the same oldest history in same script as urdu was developed after the mughal invasion while Punjabi has been written in that perso-arabic script even in 13th century as poetry of Baba Farid is its proof.

Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Wikipedia[edit]

Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Wikipedia, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.
Recommendations:

Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.

All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.

Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.

Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.

Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.

Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.

English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).

If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended: हैरी पॉटर ने ''[[:en:Pensieve|Pensieve]]'' के अन्दर ''[[:en:Little Hangleton|Little Hangleton]]'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ ''[[:en:Merope Gaunt|Merope Gaunt]]'' को देखा. ''[[:en:Resplendent Quetzal|Resplendent Quetzal]]'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० ''[[:en:Pablo de la Llave|Pablo de la Llave]]'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था. Whence,
हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा

Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था

Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।

For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
1. The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')

2. starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : [[:en:Apollo]];)

3. The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized phonological transcription within / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))

4. the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन [[यूनानी धर्म]] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन [[रोमन धर्म]] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।) For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.

Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article ([[en:Appolo]])). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.

Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.

Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.

The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.

For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.

Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.

When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.

Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.

For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.

A request[edit]

Dear sir, I noticed that you are from Jhang. I am a Punjabi too and what's more, my roots are in West Punjab. I was thinking that Punjabi Wikipedians should make articles on the various dialects of Punjabi. Have a look at the Punjabi language article. It lists the major dialects of the language as listed by the Punjabi University, Patiala.

I see that you have made an article on Jhangochi or Jhangi. On this side of the border, Malwi, Majhi and Doabi are the major dialects. Dogri was recognized in 2003 to be a separate language rather than a dialect of Punjabi.

This leaves us with the dialects spoken on the other side of the Radcliffe line. Siraiki, like Dogri has been recognized as a separate language.

Remaining dialects include Bhattiani, Powadhi, Wajeerawadi, Baar di Boli, Jatki, Bahawalpuri, Thalochri, Thali, Bherochi, Kachi, Awankari, Dhani, Ghebi, Swaen, Chacchi, and Punchi

Articles on these dialects have not been created. Since most of them are spoken in Pakistan, I would request you to try and develop articles on all these, if you have the resources available. I will try for the ones on my side. Do tell me what you think. Regards. Rajatjghai 18:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Insha Allah By gods help You will see more changes soon in Punjabi dialect section. I wiil try more to get the stuff. Abulfazl 08:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Derawar fortTemplate.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Derawar fortTemplate.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

Allama Hassan Turabi[edit]

Thanks for your extensive and diligent work on the Allama Hassan Turabi article. It looks really good. I was able to make some modifications. I would be interested in your participation in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict article since you seem to have an original perspective on the subject. Peace, 67.62.78.191 01:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a request[edit]

Hey there, I noticed you've been writing a lot of articles on the bar region. The articles, while admittedly still stubs, are quite helpful. However, I have a tiny request — can you please use spellcheck? I am Indian, so I know that some people have trouble with English spellings if it isn't their mother tongue. I have learned that Google Toolbar is really good for spellcheck if you write articles straight into the Edit page instead of writing it in a word processor first (although sometimes it fails to recognise some fairly common words!).

Also, please make sure you pipe your links when you link to Punjab, as this is a disambiguation page, and generally speaking, links shouldn't point directly to it.

In the meantime, I hope you keep writing more new articles, you have done a really nice job! Please don't take offence at any of my remarks above... this is what Wikipedia is all about, collaboration of ideas, helping each other learn and improve! I know that you are doing your best to contribute to the encyclopedia and spread your knowledge, but just little things like using spellcheck make articles look so much more professional. :) If you find me doing anything wrong, feel free to point it out as well!

Cheers, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 11:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am so glad you took my suggestion the right way! Unfortunately I don't know enough about the subject to contribute. However, there is a WikiProject for Pakistani users, where you can collaborate on articles. Perhaps you can ask some people there if they can provide more information?

Also, I noticed you signed your post manually... all you need to do is type ~~~~ and it is automatically converted to your signature, which provides a link to your userpage, and the date.

Thank you for your response, and I hope you have a great day! Regards, — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 11:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

Hello abufazl, I'm Afghan Historian a Pakistani wikipedian. I'm back from my long break and looking for some articles to work on. I read your user page and your interests and linguistic abilities fascinate me. How long have you known how to converse in Farsi and Sindhi? I'm also wondering if your Indian or Pakistani. I was wondering if you could help me with a historical judgement I've been trying to make. I try to be very neutral in studying Indian and Pakistani history, withouht being biased in favor of Muslims over Hindus or vice versa. I've often been of the opinion of Pakistan being historically part of Indian civilization, with its unique differences being regional, like those of northeast India and south India. Ultimately Pakistan covers the bulk of ancient northwestern India, and as such of course will identify strongly with its unique history. But many Pakistanis like to use this to show others that Pakistan was historically different and that Indian history as a whole is the same for all of its modern regions. I counter this with the idea that Indian regions all have distinctions and it happens Bangladesh and Pakistan covered parts of regions and therefor theri histories somewhat unique. I've done more reading on the matter, and yet I'm stumped for a decision. Do you think Pakistan is historically a separate civilization or do you think it is part of historical Indian civiilizationa and it went a separate way from August 14, 1947 thereafter? I would appreciate your help. Thanks! Sorry if this paragraph got a little muddled grammatically in the middle. -Afghan Historian 01:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, I don't have Memoni, Shina and Sindhi yet. Maybe you can help me and tell me the proper translations in the proper script, if you happen to know? I'd be most thankful!

Your edit to WP:RFA[edit]

Hi Abulfazl, I just reverted this edit of yours at WP:RFA. If you are interested in applying for adminship, please first read the guidelines on this page. It may not have been your intention, but while adding your nom, you removed another rfa. Please be careful not to do that in the future. Please let me know if I can be of any further help -- Lost^(talk) 08:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments on my page. There are two different points that I would request you to consider. This may get long, so please try to be patient while reading it.

I understand it can get very frustrating to see people vandalise a page that we create with so much care. But if it is only blatant vandalism, not only you, many other editors will also revert it. I have also put the page under my watchlist now. However if it is a difference of opinion, then its always better to come to an agreement with the other editor. That is the nature of wikipedia. Protection of a page may only help in short term, but what will happen after a month or a year. Someone else will still come and try to add information. You and I may not be around then.
To become an administrator, you need community consensus. You need to have proved that you have the capability to work with other good faith editors and resolve disputes amicably. My suggestion is dont try to go for adminship now. Wait for a few months, see how the administrators function. In any case, an administrator would generally not use his administrative powers in an article that he is involved with. Its always better to seek third party mediation in such a case.

I hope my words make sense. Please dont hesitate to ask if you think I can help any further -- Lost^(talk) 10:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Your complaint on my talk page[edit]

Hi Abulfazl, I am not an administrator. You can seek administrator intervention on WP:ANI. I am on a wikibreak these days and am only editing intermittently else I would have helped you out. But try speaking to the other editor in a calm rational manner. That usually works. Else have a look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Admin intervention is usually required only against vandals and not established editors -- Lost^(talk) 08:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Khan Ghulam Abid Baloch[edit]

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Khan Ghulam Abid Baloch, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Khan Ghulam Abid Baloch. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. voldemortuet 15:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abulfazl

I was reading vol 2 of "A Glossary of the Tribes and castes of the Punjab and North -West Frontier Province compiled by AH ROSE and based on the Census Report for the Punjab 1883 , by Sir Denzil Ibbetson and the census report for the Punjab 1892 by Sir Edward Maclagan .

On page 158 a discription of the Chhadhars . Have you seen this ?

Hi Abulfazl[edit]

Abulfazl Hi,[edit]

Read your comments and appreciate . The stereotyping of people is common , Muslim Stereotype in the west , Hindu stereotype in Pakistan , Pakistanis Stereotype in India , Shia Stereotype in Iraq . All Hindus couldn’t be money lenders (even if they wanted to) , and all Punjabi Muslims of Pakistan can not be descended from Arabs or Persians ( even if they wanted to be) .

Nor are all South Asian Muslims descended from , relatives of the Prophet , or the Prophet AND all Hindus are not descended from Shri Ram . Concocted genealogical histories on Wikipedia are rampant. Makes one wonder why?

Stereotypes while on the one hand can be vicious and are deliberately perpetuated by vested interests, often they are also perpetuated by ignorance .

Your comment on the Hindus was a common stereotype we often hear ...it didn’t make me angry .....I find the stereotyping of Hindus in Pakistan as Cleaver, weak , scheming ,money lenders funny . It is steeped in Pakistani self-denial of their own history. Strangely I also find this deliberately aggressive negativity focused from Pakistanis for not only Hindus but also Shias and Ahemdias .

Notwithstanding the above your articles are wonderful! Intothefire 05:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Read your post on my talk page .Well its interesting to know you have read the Gita and Granth Sahib....Great to hear this because I have read the Koran an english Translation by Marmaduke Pickethall . In the begining of Alberunis book on India chapter 2 he says an interesting thing the gist of which is that "the belief of educated and uneducated people differs in every nation " ....well this seems to have been the case then for the last 1100 years .In India there is a vast difference between what Pravin Togadia an extremist represents to enlightened Hinduism as compared to what for instance is practiced by Sri Sri Ravishankar one of many Gurus in India . Simillarly the shahi imam of Delhi s Jamam masjid seems to be practicing a completely different form of Islam than we know from the enlightened words of Maulana Wahidudin Khan of DELHI .

There are basic simillarlities as well as basic differences ...but I guess the likes of Togadia and the Shahi Imam Bukhari work on the differences and Sri Sri Ravishankar and Maulana Wahidudin Khan work on the simmilarities ....!

We in India are lucky to be exposed in our daily life to a vast number of different religious denominations . My best scool teacher and a role model was a Shia . Regards Intothefire 15:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asalamalikum, Abulfazl! I thought you might be interested in WikiProject Punjab as you seem to be an avid contributor to Punjabi realated articles. In addition, I noticed that you are able to write Punjabi in both Gurmukhi and Shahmukhi. Your'e invited to join the project if you would like. Thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia!

Hello Abulfazl and congratulations on being the first Pakistani user to put your hand forward in collaboration between Indian and Pakistani Punjabis. I would like you to do a bit of Pakistanization on Portal:Punjab when you have time, as it is very Indian centrist at the moment. Also, you may have to wait for WikiProject Punjab to fully cover Pakistan-related articles. Unfortunately Szchaider (a Pakistani user who upgraded {{WP Pakistan}}) is opposed to the concept of WikiProject Punjab being a child project of WikiProject Pakistan and WikiProject India and has thus reverted my edit to {{WP Pakistan}} which include a punjab=yes parameter as well as a punjab-importance parameter. So for now, all post 1947 Pakistani Punjab related articles will have to use {{WP Punjab}} while all post 1947 Indian Punjab related articles can use {{WP India}} and use the Punjab parameter. — Nobleeagle ^[TALK] [C] 05:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
This is taken as an attack since a quick search doesn't show any relation to the name mentioned. As such I take it as a reference to a local person and as such it is eligible for deletion as an attack. Andante1980 06:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:SheikhanGE.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:SheikhanGE.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 01:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Shia Genocide In Pakistan. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Sectarian violence in Pakistan. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Sectarian violence in Pakistan – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:09, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
