Murree article copyedit

hey, i'm working on a massive copyedit for this article, which is why the WPLoC template is in the Talk:Murree page. please make it a habit to check the talk page before making an edit, as it may conflict with edits that are being made or with previously discussed issues. if you have existing knowledge on murree and would like to collaborate, though, i'd welcome the help.

Checking Talk Pages

Okay ;-) .... but it would help if there was an update added to the bottom of the article, advising not to edit, I always scroll down to the bottom of talk pages - to see what the latest update is. Anyway good to see someone is trying to sort the article out, I had a bash at it every now and again but nothing substantial.

• good idea on the making a note bit. i'll suggest that as a standard, and i'll let you know when i'm done hacking at it if you'd like to give it another read at that point.

Miranjani Map

Pahari Sahib, you have attached a vague map of district Abbottabad to Miranjani article and Miranjani is absent from the map. It is irrelevent to the article. It is therefore deleted. If you can make a bigger and detailed map directly related to Miranjani, that can enhance the information.

Karachi Division

Why did you undo the redirect? Karachi Division and Karachi District are one and the same. Any information you want to include about the old District can be incorporated in the Karachi article, including whatever templates you want to add. --Polaron | Talk 01:56, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Note the actual "Divisions of Pakistan" template has since been amended to reflect this

Mansar (India)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Mansar (India), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Mansar. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 10:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

{{Pakistan-gov-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Gama1916.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Great Gama

Thanks for uploading Image:Gama1916.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Note the original description contained the relevant public domain tags, however further information has since been added. (Further note - I'm not actually a wrestling fan).

My reply

FYI

I saw you added some Guantanamo captives to the article Afghan refugees. As I edit those article I check to see if they should link there. There are about 200 Guantanamo captives who are from Afghanistan. Something like half of them are refugees, or former refugees.

Have you considered creating a category Category:Afghan refugees?

There are a couple of wikipedia volunteers, from that area, who argued that "Afghan" should not be used as a synonym for a citizen of Afghanistan. They asserted that "Afghan" really only applied to people from the Pashtun ehni group. They argued that many o the used of Afghan should be replaced by "Afghanistani".

I found their arguments convicing. So I supported their efforts when they tried to change the names of some things. As I recall one or both of them tried to replace Category:Afghan politicians to Category:Politicians of Afghanistan.

Are you from that area? If so, do you think they had a valid argument? If you like I can go through my contrubtion history and look up their wiki-ids.

Faisalabad

Greetings

So, you are not from Afghanistan, but you have some familiarity with the area?

Are you familiar with Faisalabad?

I started, and have made contributions to, Salafi University and al Qaeda guest house, Faisalabad.

Salafi University is a very small institution -- a few hundred students. If the testimony of the Guantanamo captives is to be believed sponsors cover all the costs of running the institution, even paying for the student's tuition, room and board. Which is kind of remarkable. And if the captive's testimony is to be believed, and it was correctly translated, and I understood it properly, some of the students were almost illiterate.

Do you khow anything of higher education in smaller institutions in Pakistan?

Do you know if Faisalabad is in the Pashtun area of Pakistan?

I hope you don't mind me trying to pick your brains.

Hi Geo Swan, Faisalabad is an industrial city in Punjab, Pakistan. It was there that Abu Zubida had been arrested.FatehM 21:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind...

I hope you don't mind, but I would like to go to wikipedia:requested moves, and request a move back to the original name. I saw you moved Wazir to Haji Wazir]. Usually titles aren't part of article names on the wikipedia.

The full official lists of Guantanamo names contains dozens of instances where they treated Haj, Mullah, Maulvani as if they were the men's given names. I thought it best to conform t,e wikipedia convention, and not repeat their mistake.

Kala Dhaka

ASA! You have made some changes in Kala Dhaka, which looks good but those alterations would have been more glorious if you had focussed tribes living on eastern slopes of the Mountain aswell, as you have mentioned Yousazais, will you overlook Swati tribes? I have been contributing/editing to wikipedia for more than three years. I Hope you shall have been enjoying it also. Take great care! Haider 23:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
