User talk:Col Manzoor Awan

I am Col Manzoor Iqbal Awan from 9th Battalion (Wilde's) The Frontier Force Regiment, the successor of 4th Punjab Irregular Frontier Force Regiment. I commanded it twice, and incidentally its now my son Lieutenant Colonel Nauman Manzoor Awan who is its current commanding officer. As of now I am a visiting professor at a number of universities at Islamabad. Saw the titled page on Wikipedia; its a great job done; my compliments to the contributors and editor(s). I can serve as a liaison for obtaining and proving the post-partition updates including some valuable photographs for enhancing value of this page. I can be reached on cell +92 (300) 850 0732, and through email awan9ff@gmail.com and awan9ff@outlook.com.

Welcome!

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

I see that you have a particular interest in adding to your own regiment's page on Wikipedia. This is great, thank you, and I can't imagine a better thing to do. But it does expose you to some possibly-frustrating experiences, which I hope you can avoid. People who edit Wikipedia on subjects they are close to often find this frustrating in two main ways. First, Wikipedia isn't meant to offer images or a record of everything you may find interesting. Second, Wikipedia generally won't accept what you have seen or heard yourself as a source. Editors should, and often do, insist on {{WP:RS|publicly available written sources]]. Feel free to make bold edits, but if you find that others disagree with them, please don't take offence. With good will all round, all can be solved. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or {{edit|Special:MyTalk|click here|section=new|preload=Help:Contents/helpmepreload|preloadtitle=Help me!}} to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Richard Keatinge (talk) 12:59, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
