Thanks.

Your best bet is to add a reliable source as a reference to back up your claims. Without a reference, your claims appear to be unsubstantiated, and as such, are grounds for removal. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 22:38, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kushan Empire

Hi Dewan! Thank you for your note. And I am sorry if I upset you. I know from personal experience how hurtful it can feel when someone reverses your edits.

I would like to add that the study of the Kushan Empire is extremely complex and filled with uncertainties and very few experts agree with each other on many points. There are so many competing claims made about the Kushans, it is difficult to write about their history with confidence. Please feel free to contact me if there are any issues you wish to discuss.

WP:AN3 report

Hello Dewan357. You've been reported for edit warring at WP:AN3#User:Dewan357 reported by User:K.Khokhar (Result: ). You may add your own comment there if you wish. EdJohnston (talk) 04:27, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute resolution

Although K.Khokhar was blocked due to that report referred to above, as an independent observer I think you need to be careful to avoid antagonising that editor and to take much more care in being neutral. In particular, your comment that "lady you dont know what you are talking about like all your fellow Pakis. The land forming modern day Pakistan formed India. Pakistan was never a land or a nation, India always was. Also your comments is an insult to all Indians. You are a raceist!"[1] is an unacceptable way to communicate on Wikipedia. You used a term, "Paki", which is generally considered to be an ethnic slur, even if some Pakistani people use it or its variant, Pak, within their own community. You stereotyped a nation by saying that Pakistani editors "don't know what they are talking about", and you directly accused another editor of being racist, which is distinctly uncivil. And "lady" is generally a dismissive way of referring to women. Please deal with content disputes in a less inflammatory and a more collegiate manner.

p.s. When you comment on talk pages, please include a link to your user page or talk page, per Wikipedia:Signatures, especially as your signature doesn't include your exact username. Fences&Windows 00:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your talk page and track record I will ignore you seem to be hell bent on removing Pakistans mention In any article and you POV push I like the user above states I will remove your POV from articles especially the Mughal Empire Michale245 (talk) 00:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for attracting the attention of Nangparbat to you. Fences&Windows 20:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HistoryOfSouthAsia

I am getting the feeling that you are thanking me for something I did not do. Perhaps you are referring to Mightymrt_away's edits here. Ironically, my stand as I have been outlined on here and here is that that the HistoryofSouthAsia template is not useful in the lead of the main History of India article. The reason is that I believe that history comprises not merely of a chronology of kingdoms, but is a holistic subject dealing with social, religious, political, economic (etc) affairs of some people over a long period of time; and that to ignore economic history, social history, people's history etc of South Asia would be a gross injustice in presenting a comprehensive view of the state of South Asia through the ages.

I do not oppose the HistoryofSouthAsia template in other articles but I join issue with it being in the lead of the main History of India article. This is in view of my belief that it contains only political history and ergo does not adequately summarize the history of South Asia; indeed the whole orientation of the template is such that it cannot be modified to include other aspects of history. Hence it would be best to abandon its modification if that is being done with the purpose of putting the template in the lead. Regards--Shahab (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note to User:Dewan357 regarding the section on the Kushans

I have sadly had to reverse User:Dewan357's edits once again. I have discussed all the reasons for reversing his account of the Kushans in detail at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kushan_Empire. Dewan, I have already reversed very similar text (making several of the same faulty points) which you entered on the Kushan empire page and given you ample evidence that the information is unsound and misleading on several counts. Why do you persist repeating the same mistakes? Have you not read my comments? If you have not, please do so before you repeat your mistakes in the Wikipedia once again. Finally, do not reverse my present edit once again. If you want to, please take the issue up with Wikipedia's administrators first. Yours, John Hill (talk)

Blocked

I have blocked you one week for your recent edit warring, while logged in as Dewan357 and under various IPs, on Mughal Empire. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 19:17, 31 August 2009 (UTC) [reply]

This user is asking that his block be reviewed:

Request reason:

I wrote in your discussion page that several users are in edit warring. I was the one who recommended that the site be protected so why am I blocked. As for multiple IPs I only used this computer.

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems.

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I wrote in your discussion page that several users are in edit warring. I was the one who recommended that the site be protected so why am I blocked. As for multiple IPs I only used this computer. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}
