Sir, I have tried my best to include on-line citations; but most of the sources on the personality are are on offline. So please consider tagging this stub article so that other wikipedians may have a chance to add verified contents. Hpsatapathy (talk) 04:58, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

University pages that look similar to Lahore Garrison University
Hi Samee, hope you're not too wikibreaked to look into this. I and others have been chasing around after (TJ97) who has been creating a lot of unreferenced  mostly university pages (≈30 left after deletions.) Some seem to be only in the announcement stage (i.e. not even started construction!), but they are writing as if they are already open. I noticed similarities ("Main campus extends on 74 Kanals, comprises ...") and on doing a text search, here, found 9 pages 'TJ97' started with the same sections of text that appear to have been lifted from Lahore Garrison University (LGU), which you started. There is other common content, TJ97 has "Jamil Anwar Chaudhry" as Vice-Chancellor on 6 pages other than LGU. See here

The text is very similar to LGU edit by, after you "Removed peacock". Hope this is of interest. Maybe you can help as you probably know more about the region and subject than me. --220  of  Borg 22:09, 1 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi 220 of Borg. I went through the articles created by the Taimurijaz97 and fixed them as most of the articles were copied from Lahore Garrison University with slight alternations. I can't say whether it was a deliberate act of vandalism on the part of user. Thank you.  SAMI  talk 12:27, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Samee. I would feel a lot better if they Taimurijaz97 (TJ97) acknowledge in some slight way the many messages, both templates and carefully hand-crafted personal messages I have left them. I think I caught them using an edit summary, .. somewhere.... They have an E-mail address so don't appear to be a troll.


 * You have been busy I see! I too was earlier working through their edit history (somewhat slower than you), fixing silly and unnecessary non-wp:MOS combinations of linking and bolding. They apparently created a re-direct for every acronym the universities are known by, including in Urdu (I think), and then linked every single occurrence of that acronym on the page! So, lots of links that just led back to the page you were on!
 * TJ97 also had Barnstars on their userpage, which may have not been given to them by anyone. I enquired about one supposedly 'from' and was told they had not given TJ97 a Barnstar. All removed now I believe.
 * There are now a lot of Pakistani uni pages that likely need to be moved back to their WP:MOS names, as TJ97 made a large number of unnecessary (for the most part) page moves.220  of  Borg 14:36, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome! 220 of Borg. I have moved back all the university pages that were moved by the user Taimur with the exception of two that would be processed through 'requested move'. This was very tiresome. Should Urdu language redirects be asked for deletion? I have called for the administrator's intervention.  SAMI  talk 17:15, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Tiresome is exactly it! But, are you sure you moved them all back?  . An admin could probably have reverted the moves much easier than  we can, so should probably have been infomed earlier, though I know admin  had been involved. The Urdu re-directs I don't know about, as far as deletion. A lot of their English re-directs however, seem to be totally unnecessary: see here. Example: List Of Universities In Pakistan for List of Universities in Pakistan --220  of  Borg 17:44, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Iqra University was skipped unknowingly due to the similar page viz. Iqra National University. I am sure I have moved back all pages except two pages; if not all then majority of these moves have been reverted. It took me 2 hours. I did not know that an administrator can undo moves easily otherwise I would have requested some administrator.  SAMI  talk 17:56, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S. The redirects you pointed are really quite absurd. 18:00, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * which ones specifically do you need me to move?  DGG ( talk ) 18:43, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting involved again I'm having a look at that now as I go through their earlier 'creations' that still lack references and even a references section.  If I find any that still need, or might need moving back, I'll let you know. 220  of  Borg 04:03, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

@DGG Please move Ghazi University, D.G Khan to Ghazi University, Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University Lyari, Karachi to Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University.  SAMI  talk 08:35, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Benazir Bhutto University which is a dab page should be moved to Benazir Bhutto University (disambiguation) which unusually redirects to only one page Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Sheringal. This however was not done by 'TJ97' . I moved one page because it incorretly had 'Women ...' instead of 'Woman ...' in the title --220  of  Borg 12:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I just did everything as needed, but if not, let me know on my talk page.  DGG ( talk ) 02:44, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Air University
The move leaves a good many double redirects, but there is a bot which will sort them out - within a few hours, usually. JohnCD (talk) 14:39, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks  SAMI  talk 14:42, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Teahouse/Questions
Hey Samee-- I saw your response here and was wondering how you're aware of the editor's history? The editor does not appear to have a block log nor doe their edits seem unconstructive. I, JethroBT drop me a line 19:13, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi I JethroBT. Although his edits are not nonconstructive but the user has probably evaded block. For more please see this and this. I am assuming good faith but despite several warnings, he did the same and did not bother to engage in the discussion. Perhaps he was looking for a way to become an administrator so that he may not be blocked.  SAMI  talk 19:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
