Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Kashmiri people has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5P3_akT8EY (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Punjabi Language map

Dear sir

I recently came across a modified map of the Punjab region which I originally made and which you modified and reuploaded in the Punjab region article on wikipedia. The changes you made to my version are factually wrong and I believe were made in very bad faith. Let me eloborate:

You included Hindko and Mirpur regions of Pakistan in the "Punjab language" area. This is completely incorrect as they speak Hindko and Pothawari in those regions. Your modifications remind me of the official Indian government stance that Pakistani Azad Kashmir is not Kashmiri, but a "Punjabi dominated" region. It was also this same propaganda line used to cause a division between Pashtun and Punjabi people by dismissing their mixed Hindko group as entirely Punjabi. Please explain why you think this view is appropriate in a wikipedia article?

You also included Hindi majority areas of "former Punjab" province of India as "Punjabi speaking" areas. This is also factually wrong and the entire reason why Indian Punjab was made smaller was because those regions were NOT Punjabi speaking.

You also included Jammu and areas of Ladakh as "Punjabi speaking". They do not speak Punjabi and this claim is completely new to me so could you please provide references to this?

You also included Islamabad and Rawalpindi as Punjabi. This is also wrong as they speak Urdu there, and the region was Pothawari before Islamabad was constructed.

I feel you made these changes purely to increase the size of Indian Punjab on the map, and you clearly illustrated you have very little knowledge of areas that you included, like former Indian Punjab, Mirpur in Azad Kashmir, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Jammu and Ladakh.

Could you please undo these changes as soon as possible or explain why your changes are factually correct. Thank you for reading. --Xinjao (talk) 20:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
