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

Good work on British Pakistanis

Hi. As a follow up to my previous comments, I just wanted to say thanks for your recent edits to British Pakistanis. It's good to see someone making lots of small, incremental, well-sourced changes that add up to making a real difference to an article. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:23, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again :) I plan to spin out some sub-article/s in the near future since the main article seems to be getting too long and does not appear to have enough capacity for further large content expansions. Mar4d (talk) 05:12, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

That sounds reasonable. It was also be great if the article could gain good article status. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm aware that it previously had GA status but for (whatever) reasons it was demoted. Nevertheless, it would be good to revisit that and see if it could fare for GA again. Mar4d (talk) 07:34, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I was looking into that today. It seems it was promoted to GA with no documented review or discussion taking place, so I requested that it be revisited, and it was demoted straight away because it didn't meet the criteria. I think we can get it there though. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:30, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Review Edits made on Imran Khan's page

Hi - can I request you to review these edits [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Imran_Khan&diff=655521119&oldid=653432413 ] made by a certain Wikipedia user on Imran Khan page - it seems to be negative propaganda - these edits were inserted continuously between the timeframes March 3rd 2015 to March 9th 2015 [ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Imran_Khan&diff=650488756&oldid=649245507 ] - I chose to undo them and he has again gone to revert them. I do not want to get into a delete-undelete debate and hope a senior editor like yourself can evaluate if the text should / should-not remain - in all neutrality you shall see that it has the intent of it being negative dirty propaganda --- Thanks --- Dr. Awab Alvi (talk) 08:17, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Awab. I've not made many edits to the Imran Khan article in the recent past but it is indeed in my WP:WATCHLIST. Nevertheless, I've gone through the article and have done a minor revamp, including toning down some negative WP:POV in line with neutrality and trimming away BLP violations. I've provided some recommendations regarding such content at Talk:Imran Khan#Some minor edits. For the future, anyone prior to reverting or adding in similar content should be directed to the talk page and be advised to discuss the issue there, as per that thread. Any edit or escalation made without WP:CONSENSUS can be legitimately reverted. Regards, Mar4d (talk) 12:50, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Perfect - I appreciate the effort you went to cleanse and re-format this article, Thank you --- Dr. Awab Alvi (talk) 13:32, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Durrani Empire Map

Hi,

Durrani empire map, which is located in Durrani Empire, has not a reliable source. The borders, specially in southern areas are exactly the same as today's Pakistan which was created in 1948. There was no Pakistan at that time. Also, Mashhad was controlled by the Shahrukh Afshar, after Nader death in 1747 and was controlled by him until Agha Mohammad Khan of Qajar dystany defeated Zand Kngdom — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenix2535 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Kindly do not change the pictures section

First of all you mentioned that inflating the picture box is against WP:MOS. I have read it all along and nowhere such policy is mentioned at all. So i am not hindering any rules by inflating that box. No wikipedia policy disallow you with such acts. Secondly the argument that British Pakistan speak or understand Urdu only is utterly false. I am a British Pakistani and this information is totally wrong. Many Second generation Pakistanis adopted English as their first language. Moreover the last picture box do not represent a diverse group of Britiah Pakistanis. The problem with the British Pakistani community is that there are not many role models and lack of such examples deviate our population. More examples will lead them in a better manner. So kindly make some other argument to undo my revisions. There is nothing wrong as long as the contribution is on a positive note. Moreover integration and diversity should be witnessed from such representation and my contribution did that. I hope you will take these notes on a professional unbiased manner rather than on a biased manner. Thanks and have a nice week.

RM not RfC

A discussion on change in title should happen as WP:RM and not as WP:RFC. Please start a Requested Move section. I closed the move discussion section as that was improper way of staring RM. nafSadh did say 17:09, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

When you created the RM you used {{Requested move}} directly, but you should WP:substitute it using {{subst:Requested move|New name}}. Read more at: Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting_a_single_page_move. Cheers! nafSadh did say 18:23, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

My mistake. Thanks for fixing it up. Mar4d (talk) 18:25, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
