about your revert on my edit

Salam aleikum

Afghanistan and Australia are counted as 'white countries' Afghans are conisdered as Middle Eastern American. they are not considered as asian by the US census but white because they all belong to the Iranian race (pashtuns, persians, tajiks, balochs, kurds all of them are from Iranian race) that's why the US census considerers Afghans as 'white americans' and not asian americans like paki's and indians. the person who made that map was wrong

Captain Assassin! is a Pakistani editor. He mostly edits Movie articles. You and Faizan must convince him to edit Pakistan related articles more and more. This will benefit the project. When he joined Wiki, he was a teen, but now he can develop Pakistan related articles following the five pillars of Wikipedia.

Nomination of Pashtun Americans for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pashtun Americans is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pashtun Americans until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Krzyhorse22 (talk) 17:51, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Siddiqui

I got a pinged notification for this thread. As per the following thread on ANI, there seems to be an attempt to link me to another editor Siddiqui (contributions) which is false and baseless. There may or may not be an SPI. If the former is the case, at the least, it would be preferable if an editor could post or at least link my comment since the accusation involves me. In my defence, I'd like to point out:

  • The filer is the same newly-registered account that was involved in my SPI.
  • Siddiqui is an old user who edited far back in 2005. As per my knowledge, he was among a group of early editors that were involved in arbitration based on which WP:ARBIPA was formed. Most of his accounts that were blocked had copyrights violations issues. Moreover, Siddiqui geo-locates to a different continent as implied in Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Siddiqui and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Siddiqui/Archive.
  • Any user who was involved with Siddiqui or his accounts knows and would be able to recongise the style of editing, differences in POV, articles of interest and editing history etc. I have no link with the mentioned editor. John Vandenberg dealt with CU cases involving Siddiqui while he was editing and he would have technical and behavioural information regarding this. It may help to consult him and/or other users who were involved with Siddiqui.
  • Linking users to me based on contributions is ludicrous since I have a large footprint covering hundreds of articles in the same topic area and there are overlaps with most editors. Being listed on SPIs of other users is not something new for me. Since I currently do not have editing privileges in order to defend myself, being retagged as a sock of another editor doesn't rank too highly on the bucket list. I'd like to stay away from Wikipedia for the forseeable future. Pinging RegentsPark as he's familiar with most editors in the same topic area. Thanks, Mar4d (talk) 08:05, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Mar4d. Must admit I'm surprised to see you blocked for sock puppetry. With you gone, TopGun banned from Indo-Pak topics, and smsarmad and Faizan barely editing seems like Pakistan related pages will not get the attention they deserve. I agree that the Siddiqui connection does seem circumstantial but that's a side issue because the checkuser that lead to your block seemed fairly definite. The best solution for you right now is to stay away for a while and then come back under the standard offer. I'll, of course, support your return. If the checkuser was wrong and you're not Acejet (in all honesty, the odds on that are fairly low) then you do have a problem because if Acejet goes on socking then the SO won't apply. In that case your best bet is to make a case at WP:BASC. Only they can review the check user results, examine other evidence, and decide whether or not to overturn that result. I hope you find a way to come back and I hope all is well with you in RL.--regentspark (comment) 14:00, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
RegentsPark: Thanks for your reply and encouragement, I appreciate it. Yes, I've thought things through and I understand where it goes from here. For the time being, the most I can say is that I've chosen to stay away from Wikipedia. I believe that is best for both myself and the community. Cheers, Mar4d (talk) 14:48, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mar4d: Very sad to read that you got a block. What's hapening actually! Yngvadottir now has no time so am I very busy with my small business. Who's going to take care of Pak interested articles?  MehrajMir (talk) 16:37, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think Sidique's confirmed sock Marduking (talk · contribs) seems very similar to Mar4d in name and interests. But anyway, we are here to take care of Pakistan related topics, even I am fighting AfD of Pashtun Americans which deserves article and created by Mar4d. I will also create Tourism related articles of Pakistan. Pakistan is like my motherland. I love Pakistan. Dil Dil Pakistan, Jaan Jaan Pakistan (My heart is Pakistan, My life is Pakistan) is most played song in my mobile, superb music. There is no issue who will take care of Pakistan related topics, population of Pakistan and internet users in Pakistan are very high. There are many highly experienced users who have been blocked for some reasons and Mar4d not the first one. Many admins have been indeffed in past for some reasons. Still I wish best luck to Mar4d in real life, I personally think that Mar4d is far more useful to Pakistan in his real life and can do great things for Pakistan. I will adopt some Pakistani users and will guide and inspire them, I have already started helping some Pakistani editors. I will help them to create and improve articles related to Pakistani music, tourism, politics, diaspora, culture and history. I myself will also work on it. (I hope Mar4d will not revert my this comment). --Human3015TALK  19:48, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Block evasion

Siddiqui (talk · contribs) was blocked in 2008 for using multiple accounts. Later he created many accounts including Mar4d in April 2010. This account of Mar4d is actually a block evasion, all of edits of Mar4d in past 5 years are block evasion. I think talk page access and email should be disabled for this account. But in good faith he should be allowed to make unblock request from grand sockmaster account Siddiqui just for his satisfaction. --Human3015TALK  19:16, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)I really doubt that but even if it was true, an admin will tell you that the only grounds of revoking talkpage access are abuse of talkpage instead of making unblock requests or other legitimate edits / requests on talkpage. A legitimate request in this case would also include denial of such accusation which makes removing talkpage access disruptive. I can't understand why you would request such given that Mar4d has not been editing his talkpage for anything but to discuss within purview of his block. Plus, Mar4d may choose to take WP:Standard Offer on this account after six months if his unblock request is rejected (that is, if he makes one), or simply after waiting. I'm not sure how any of this is worth admin time anyway. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
