Some tips to help you out!
Hi, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps.  Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type  on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pjposullivan ( talk  …Pjposullivan (talk) 18:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;


 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.


 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Here's a little bit of magic which can save you an awful lot of time and effort!
You might want to consider using this tool - (tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py) - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well all by itself.  For those it can;t do by itself, it gives you a pull-down (or up) menu of templates to choose from, which you can then fill in manually.  Often the problem is "No title found" - sometimes the title is obvious (especially if it's a pdf), bit, if not, just open the page yourself and choose soemthing appropriate if there's not already a clear title there.

Ownership
Hi Majid Mullazai, thank you for your wikipedia edits, please do continue taking an active part in this online encyclopedia. However, I have just had to undo an edit of yours, because you put 'BY MAJID MULLAZAI' at the end of an article. Please read the wikipedia policy on ownership:

'''All Wikipedia content is edited collaboratively. No one, no matter how skilled, or of how high standing in the community, has the right to act as though he or she is the owner of a particular article.'''

Which can found here: Ownership_of_articles

Please do not claim an article or 'sign off' on it. No-one owns an article and all collaborative efforts are shown in the history section of an article. So writing your name on an article is unnecessary.

Hope this helps and you continue on your Wikipedia experience. Pjposullivan (talk) 18:14, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Mullazai the place or Mallazai the people?
Hi Majid Mullazai, just a quick question about Mullazai in Balochistan. Is Mullazai a village or a tribe or a group of people? I can't find a place in Pangjur called Mullazai, but I have found in the List of Baloch tribes a tribe called Mallazai, is that the right one? When I know, then I can try to help create a new article about it. Pjposullivan (talk) 20:31, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Mullazai Tribe
I thought you might like to know I restored the Mullazai Baloch Tribe page and moved it to Mullazai tribe. It has been cleaned up and the grammar has been improved. I hope you like it.

Thank you for taking the time to write the Mullazai Baloch Tribe article. It was terrifically well detailed. Some areas needed improving, such as grammar. Also, please remember:
 * Reference all additions. Anything not referenced can be removed, please see Help:Editing.
 * Always add to the edit summary when changing an article.
 * Do not write your name on article. There is no ownership of articles on Wikipedia.
 * If you have any problems, please ask someone for help. We have all needed help with our first articles.

Thank you again for your Mullazai Baloch Tribe article, I hope that it gets better and better. Pjposullivan (talk) 16:51, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Ways to improve Mir Haji Ghulam Jan Mullazai
Hi, I'm Pjposullivan. Majid mullazai, thanks for creating Mir Haji Ghulam Jan Mullazai!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add more references to the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Pjposullivan (talk) 05:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Mullazai Tribe
Please explain your changes in the edit summary (right). An edit summary is a brief explanation of an edit to a Wikipedia page. When you edit a page, there is a small text entry field labeled Edit summary located under the main edit box and above the Save page button. Edit summaries are displayed in lists of changes (such as page histories and watchlists), and at the top of diff pages.

It is good practice to fill in the Edit summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as this helps others to understand the intention of your edit. To avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, you can select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the Editing tab of your user preferences, if you have created an account.

Copying/Pasting Wikipedia articles
I have reverted your copying and pasting of Mirza Gul Muhammad Natiq Makrani into Mullazai tribe. Please do not keep copying whole articles and placing them in Mullazai tribe. Please read the Wikipedia policies in your welcome message at the top of this talk page that I added all the way back in 2012.

Also, please read the article on What Wikipedia is not. It is not a list. Names can be listed, but they must either have their own article, or be cited by a reliable/independent source. It is possible for the list to be kept. It must come from a referenced source. Please find that source and add it to the list.

Hope this helps, Pjposullivan (talk) 14:31, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Paragraphs do not have numbers in Wikipedia. Please stop doing this. After the warnings and advice, you have not replied and have made the same mistakes (not using the edit summary).Pjposullivan (talk) 23:54, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Other Wikipedias
Have you thought about writing about the Mullazai tribe in Arabic Wikipedia - https://ar.wikipedia.org/ ? Or Wikipedia in Urdu - https://ur.wikipedia.org/ ? There is no article about Mullazai in Arabic Wikipedia or Urdu Wikipedia, what about them? Pjposullivan (talk) 23:54, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Mullazai tribe, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

License tagging for File:Mir Ghulam Jan Mullazai.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Mir Ghulam Jan Mullazai.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
