I saw you commented here about this issue some time ago. Well, I was 100% sure it was some nonsense as I couldn't believe mrs.Malek-Yonan would come all the way to Wiki to fight off this ridiculous thing, namely that those categories need to be removed from her page. Well my concerns were right; I opened an SPI and it turned out that User:RMY, User:3BluePenguins, and User:Zayya (they all participated in that discussion as well, are sockpuppets. A what we can describe as a sneaky sockpuppet scenario where the same person tried to make us believe some nonsense by using two socks.

Of course they did. A person using two socks (while the other participants in the discussion don't know that) to push off a stance definetely doesn't influence the outcome. The power of the masses is a powerful tool. Saying something like this afterwards doesn't hold much ground. Perhaps we still would have had the same outcome, but that's something you can never fully know.

Maues was king based in Punjab of todays Pakistan, then how can you put buddism in Afghanistan as category.

Hephthalite Empire was based in Pakistan too so adding History of Pakistan as category is justified but u have reverted it.

Native Languages

Thomas, I have stopped changing the information on Lucknow due to the opposition I have been receiving. As a native of India and as a frequent visitor of the city of Lucknow, I have known for a fact that Urdu is the official language. On Lucknow.nic.in (the official Lucknow government page), they do not state their official language. However, the website's welcome page features a welcome message in English and Urdu. The name of the city is also written in English and Urdu. Due to this reason, I have been changing the native name in not only Lucknow but several other articles containing false or incomplete information. It surprises me that users are editing articles on topics on which they have very minimal knowledge. Wikipedia is a website with many people with wide variety of understandings, thus the content changes constantly proving the unreliability of the information posted on the website.

In terms of me using two I.P. addresses, it is due to the fact that I have two devices from which I access the Internet. Upon visiting the article for Delhi, I was surprised that the native name was only written in Hindi. I noticed this mistake on several other articles, and thus have been correcting them without a source. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings and puts an end to any further drama, though it will not correct the misinformation posted on the articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sher-e-hindostan (talk • contribs) 22:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Thomas I totally do agree that only knowing is not enough. But it is very important to have solid citations to support the information presented. In terms of Lucknow, the native language is in fact Urdu. Other languages include Hindi and English. http://lucknow.nic.in/craft_culture/craft_culture.htm http://lucknow.nic.in. These are both links of the government website. On the second link, upon clicking "at a glance", it provides the languages of Lucknow. I have not changed anything as of yet only to get your response regarding the situation. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sher-e-hindostan (talk • contribs)

@Sher-e-hindostan: The only official language of Uttar Pradesh is Hindi, although the state government has made Urdu an "additional official language", one step below Hindi, so that Urdu can be used whe communicating with government agencies and agents. And since Hindi is the only official language in Uttar Pradesh we use the Devanagari script for the native name in the infobox. As for the "native language" of Lucknow it's colloquial Hindustani, since that is what the vast majority of the population speak, because even though Hindus call it Hindi (and use the Devanagari script) and Muslims call it Urdu (and use the Nastaliq script) it's the same language.

Turkic "runes"

That page is not about Scandinavian Runes alone, but "Runes" in general. Please let me remind you that new findings show that Turkish Runes may be oldest source of the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Defineka (talk • contribs) (moved from User:Thomas.W)

@Defineka: The article (Runes) is about Germanic runes and nothing else, since they're the only ones called "runes", the old Turkic alphabet is not generally called runes since they have nothing in common with Germanic runes other than having shapes that are easy to carve in wood and chisel into stone. A similarity they also share with many other early scripts. So the material you try to add to the article doesn't belong there. As for your claim that the "Turkish Runes" are the oldest of them you're wrong, Germanic runic inscriptions predate the oldest known inscriptions in the old Turkic alphabet by several centuries. Thomas.W ^talk 16:19, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Thomas, "Runes" is a generic name for old alphabets which are not hieroglyphs nor pictographs. Scientific term of "Runes" has nothing to do with magical rituals nor neo-paganist philosophy and includes all related old writings. If you remember, Thomsen first called them Turkish Runes, you can check out Britannica. If we can talk about German or Scandinavian Runes, we must talk about Turkish Runes as well, and add to this faboulous free dictionary. People searching Wikipedia, under the title "Runes, have right to find all informations about these alphabets, not only Germanic or North European. I don't like editing in Wikipedia, my time is precious, I am going to add my information as soon as possible and ask you not to interfere with it. Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Defineka (talk • contribs) 17:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

@Defineka: It may be a generic name in Turkish, but not in English, which is what matters here, since this is the English language Wikipedia. As for finding other early scripts there's a disambiguation page, and notes at the top of the article. "Turkish runes",as you call them, are not runes in English, and claims that Germanic runes derive from a Turkic (note Turkic, not Turkish, there's a big difference between the two...) script that first appeared in the eastern half of Asia (they were first found in Mongolia...) several centuries after the earliest still preserved inscriptions in Germanic runes were made is a very fringe theory, and should be treated as such. Thomas.W ^talk 17:32, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

"..Runic alphabet, also called futhark, writing system of uncertain origin used by Germanic peoples of northern Europe, Britain, Scandinavia, and Iceland from about the 3rd century to the 16th or 17th century ad. Runic writing appeared rather late in the history of writing and is clearly derived from one of the alphabets of the eastern alphabets. Because of its angular letter forms, however, and because early runic inscriptions were written from right to left like the earliest alphabets, runic writing seems to belong to a more ancient system..." Britannica. My advise to you is not to take Wikipedia too serious, and keep reading various sources to learn more. I see that you have time and talent, but don't spend them to threap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Defineka (talk • contribs) 17:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

???? "Eastern origin" does not mean Mongolia but the eastern part of the Mediterranean, and what other scripts runes derive from is not unknown (Phoenician -> Euboean -> Old Italic -> Runes; read Runes if you want to know more). Runes have nothing to do with the old Turkic alphabet, an alphabet that in turn has nothing to do with Turkey, so stop calling them "Turkish runes". Thomas.W ^talk 18:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

• Harass you? Did you really believe that adding {{cn}}-tags to the material you added would excuse you from the requirement that all material that is added must be sourced? Did you expect other editors to find the sources for you, or did you hope that no-one would notice? You also removed sourced material, twice, claiming here after first being reverted that you were moving it to another section, but then not adding it anywhere. The text you added is also unencyclopaedic POV, the articles here on Wikipedia don't exist to glorify people, places or things, but to reflect what reliable sources say about people, places and things. And it's up to the person who adds the material to provide the sources for it, when adding the material. So read Wikipedia's rules about citing sources, verifiability and neutral point of view. Thomas.W ^talk 22:39, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

You have still not said what is the mistake in Romesh Chandra book reference which you deleted without rhyme or reason? I am asking you for the second time.

Secondly I have the references for the "cn" tags that I had put put. If you notice carefully for one of the "cn" tags the original poster had provided a citation but it was "red" and i removed it thinking of supplying a better reference which I do have now.

Since you have removed the matter I cannot add the citations.

OK, I'll tell you why I'm not going to give you a few hours of "breathing room". A) The source you give for some of your edits is not verifiable, a book by that name was published in 1943, but the name of the author is not the name that you give in your "reference", a "reference" that, in the exact same form as you write it, down to the page number, can been found on various forums and more or less nationalistic Wikis on the 'Net, which is where I believe you found it. And since the name of the author is wrong and no mention of it can be found in other places it looks very much like a fake reference. B) Most of your edits aren't sourced at all, you even added "citation needed"-tags to the material yourself, probably to make it look as if it had been there for a while. C) Moving text from one section to another doesn't take hours, not even minutes, so the time I gave you was more than enough for making such a move, but no move was made, what you did was deleting sourced material without adding it back anywhere.

I hope you don't do it again, because it was a very immature edit. Thomas.W ^talk 14:47, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

This isn't a content dispute. It's stonewalling via IDHT and deliberate misrepresentation of my statements. It's a behavioral issue. Captain JT Verity MBA (talk) 21:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

• @Captain JT Verity MBA: Everyone there seems to disagree with you. Editwarring on WP:ANI usually leads to a quick block, BTW... Thomas.W ^talk 21:55, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

@Thomas.W Kindly remove my website from blacklist: bergspider.net. Someone has been posting my website on Wikipedia which is very embarassing for me. My website adds value to its visitors by giving them relevant and up-to-date information on the latest technologies. I share the same vision as is of Wikipedia to make information accessible to more and more people. As we share the common goals so it would be kind action on your part remove my website from blacklist: bergspider.net.. Thanking You, — Preceding unsigned comment added by GawenBerg (talk • contribs)

• @GawenBerg: Again, no. Your site was repeatedly spammed here, is not a reliable source and does not add anything worthwhile as an exterior link. As you have been repeatedly told. Your attempt to remove your site from the blacklist yourself and your falsification of a request in my name to remove your site on MediaWiki Spam Blacklist doesn't improve your case either. So I'm not going to help you remove it, not now, not ever. Thomas.W ^talk 07:48, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:ANI

It is wise not to close a complaint at ANI in which you are a major participant (Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#IP's six - month block for removing vandalism). It also looks like this case was closed prematurely because you kept adding new information to it after you had already archived it. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:51, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

@Liz: It was closed because the OP got blocked as a sock of the IP the complaint was about and the matter was totally misrepresented. The complaint was thus totally without merit, and having others enter the discussion would just be a waste of time and energy. If any admonishment of a fellow editor is needed, especially when it's an editor who has been around far longer than you, I suggest you leave that to the administrators who are active on WP:ANI, who so far obviously haven't found any fault with my close, not even after needing to move {{archivebottom}} down a couple of notches as new socks arrived.

Hi there.

Your revision of my edits of Mir Mughal and Islam in Kashmir do not help in making these articles better. My edits on Mir Mughal are in accordance to the reference and infact i had included better information on the topic. Also the information included in Islam in Kashmir "Shias live in the district of Badgam , with a majority population, and has been peaceful and has resisted separatism..." has nothing to do with spread of islam in Kashmir or the divisions of muslims in Kashmir. This kind of Information belongs to the page Kashmir Conflict. Just by giving references to some material and including it in a page does not automatically mean it is constructive. Akcent12 (talk) 13:23, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

In what way does "Shias live in the district of Badgam, with a majority population" belong in Kashmir Conflict? What I see is an edit in line with many other edits by a number of IPs and throw-away accounts attempting to remove all mention of Shias in our articles about Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and other areas/regions in that part of the world, all of them doing similar things. As for Mir Mughal you removed lots of information, with no edit summary or other explanation at all. Thomas.W ^talk 13:57, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

you quoted half of it, what about "...and has been peaceful and has resisted separatism"? The same user has also put this information in the page Jammu & Kashmir. I have no problem with mention of shias in any of the articles and i have never edited anything related to Khyer Pakhtunkhwa or gilgit-baltitan. But this piece has been included only for making a political statement. I could bring in several counter claims to this and post them in this article. What then? This statement shows one of the parties of Kashmir Conflict and their stand on it, and if at all this has to be included then it belongs to the page Kashmir Conflict. Infact the information provided in the page Islam in Kashmir is not even related to the topic. This page deals with demographics that have already been provided in Kashmir page.Akcent12 (talk) 16:46, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

You accusation

I say twice now why I delete,[2][3] why give warning? 82.11.33.86 (talk) 14:54, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Because your reason for removing it isn't valid. The lede is just a summary of material further down in the article, so having a short mention in the lede and more material further down is not duplication, it's supposed to be that way. When removing the material you also removed all sources for it, which makes your repeated removal even more wrong. Thomas.W ^talk 14:56, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
