Dealing with Admins and Nangparbat

Hey, I have noticed that that jerk has been targeting you. When dealing with admins in relation to his actions, remember to show them this Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Nangparbat/Archive. Only a handful of admins know the protocol for stopping Nangparbat.

The report actually comes to generally positive conclusions about Pakistanis and Indians. And the report also states its own unreliability due to the small numbers used. I am not the only one to reach the conclusion that the sentiments you expressed in the article were incorrect and unsupported. Alan16 talk 22:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and what makes you think that I did not mean it to be a positive reflection on British Pakistanis??? This is a reliable source and the fact that the report was published and is still available on the website means their is enough merit in it if you look at it from NPOV Wikireader41 (talk) 22:59, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The report states that there has been a decline in the number of teenage pregnancies for Pakistanis, quote:

Pakistani women – much higher than the white average twenty years ago – showed a consistent fall over the period, and were very similar to whites in recent years.

And I believe you do not intend to be positive because you failed to mention in your statement on the British Pakistanis article that Pakistanis are praised for having almost all child births in marriage whereas for whites it is almost half. Alan16 talk 23:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
feel free to mention both those points. i do not see any issues with it. the fact still remains that they had the among the highest teenage birth rate and even though it has been falling recently. Looks like some degree of assimilation is taking place. i am sure lot of people would take issue with a statement that praised child births within a a marriage especially if you are implying heterosexual marriage. Wikireader41 (talk) 00:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, so you think having a child when a single parent is better? And read the quote, The pregnancy rating is basically identical to white people. So the comment is wrong. Alan16 talk 00:39, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I prsonally dont. but many people think it does not impact children in any negative way. perhaps thats why this practice is relatively common in the west. have you looked at Table 2. also do not turn a blind eye to 'Key Points'

-A method of estimating age-specific fertility rates from cross-sectional surveys of households has proved reliable.

-About 30 white teenagers have a baby, out of every 1,000 at risk.

- Teenage motherhood is more common among Caribbean, Pakistani and, especially, Bangladeshi women than among white women.- But young Indian women are less likely than whites to have a baby before they are 20.- Many white and most Caribbean teenage mothers are unmarried; but the majority of births to teenagers of South Asian origin are within marriage .

-The rates of teenage births among white and Caribbean women are stable, but there has been a marked decline in early parenthood in South Asian communities in Britain.

The IP address is not blocked, so I worked under the assumption that they could edit under the Wikipedia policy Anybody can edit. I have never came into contact with Nangparbat, and know nothing about him. I have broken no rules, and will continue to edit without breaking rules. Keep your attacks and POV to yourself. All my edits to these controversial topics are sourced. Alan16 talk 23:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's no point in leaving warnings on his user talk pages (he's just going to edit war over them using other IPs). Just report him on my talk and I'll deal with the user. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 23:27, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your work, very much. I have very much enjoyed working with you, and hope we do so again, and that we get to agree more than we disagree, and find common ground where we can't. All the best.- sinneed (talk) 19:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

fyi

User:MoRsE, if I understand him correctly, is asserting that you agree with his move. User_talk:MoRsE#Could_you_please_discuss... As you can see from my questions to him, I do not agree with his move.

He said he believes his behavior is consistent with the wikipedia's policies. I am troubled by this. I do not regard his behavior as compliant with the obligations on all of us to behave accountably, and to try to give civil meaningful answers to civil questions.

Has your interest in the name of the article survived?
