RE-Inesrt Impage of Hill Forts in Asia, wiki is not meant for only england??? if you wnat to tidy it then do it without BIAS otherwise ASK someone to do it, i will do it, UNDER name of Tidyness you can not Delete entire world you piece of s***

It is nothing to do with pro-English bias. Wikipedia has a policy that galleries should only be used for specific limited purposes. A linked page on Wikimedia Commons should instead be used. Too many images make a page slow to load. Please also observe civility in dealings with other editors.--Charles (talk) 09:30, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Having 10 % information Projected as Whole information is Worst than having 90% infomation probably not in quite strict form. You also agree images were coming in without effecting any other data or info on page.

This is typical english re-write of all history to appropriate them, please you observe this rule not to delete info entirely rahter help others build this wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.37.7 (talk) 09:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

It is nothing of the kind. I think the term hillfort applies to prehistoric earthworks on hills. It does not include medieval or modern fortifications which are on hills. If such structures exist in Asia and you have good references then you should add them.--Charles (talk) 09:47, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

This is your opinion friend (hill fort and fort on hill are differernt); Just like british/europeqn built fort using menpower, Asians built fort in 5th century using men power, those are picture i added, These are HillFORTS built using natural location of hill/rocks on top Not fort happening on hill, Unless that georgraphy supported it it would have never built. Be a good friend and please insert delted images as they truely depict the architecture of builting fort — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.37.7 (talk) 09:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Another editor has removed your edits for the same reason. Forts on hills are not the same as hillforts.--Charles (talk) 10:09, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Nominations of Lists of bus routes

Why do you bother?! You know they ALWAYS go to No Consensus. You are doing this to annoy me. Why don't you just leave bus routes?!!!! I know you hate them, so LEAVE THEM ALONE! Concentrate on your bloody roads, cows and whatever other boring stuff you're interested in and don't go poking into territories you know absolutely nothing about!  Adam mugliston  Talk  21:50, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Don't flatter your self that I would bother to annoy you deliberately. I actually thought the article was one of Wilbysuffolk's and he wants it merged.--Charles (talk) 21:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Nothing to be flattered about there. You follow me and that's a fact. You should do research into things you AfD. Plus, the list looks good, so it obviously wasn't Wilbysuffolk's. Plus per [[Wikipedia:OWN] it can't be his.  Adam mugliston  Talk  22:09, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I think the bus station should be merged into the town article.--Charles (talk) 17:28, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I've suggested that Old cattle market bus station should be merged into Transport in Ipswich. I've merged Tower Ramparts into the same page.Wilbysuffolk Talk to me 18:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

How can I help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BentPaperClip:. (talk • contribs) 19:42, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire

I proposed a merger of List of bus routes in Cambridge & List of bus routes in Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots to List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire as they are all ready covered and not notable at all. Do you agree?Wilbysuffolk Talk to me 18:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes to the first but I have AfDed the latter as not being a realistic search term.--Charles (talk) 21:42, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

It doubt it will stay with 6 delete and 1 keep. I would start AFDing the other pages now whilst users agree to delete these pages. I will support deletion of any.Wilbysuffolk Talk to me 19:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

It is not a ballot. The closing admin will take account of the quality of arguments put forward for and against. There is still the best part of a week for more comments. There is the possibility of many meat puppets turning up because of off-wiki canvassing to muddy the waters, although that might backfire by annoying the closing admin.

Mass deletions do not always go down well and I am not intending to nominate any more at present. You can do so yourself of course and I would consider any nominations on their merits.--Charles (talk) 19:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi

i just want to ask what if i was famous and i dont want may race or my religion meantioned how i can do it without The destruction of the article .

please answer as soon possible . thanks --sola$$$$$$$$ (talk) 12:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

I do not think there is any reason to state a person's ethnicity unless there is a particular reason such as Barack Obama being the first black president. If a persons's religion is verifiable from reliable sources there is probably nothing they can do about it. Having said that I am not expert in this.--Charles (talk) 19:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Earlier...

Sorry about earlier I was in a funny mood telling you not to annoy my friends, I don't really care anymore. I hope we can be friends and I need to learn how to use Wikipedia. :)

Talk soon!

BentPaperClip:. (talk) 19:39, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Also those bus routes annoy me as they have already been made officially! :)

User:BentPaperClip:.

Hi Charles,

Although we have our differences, I would like to warn you about User:BentPaperClip:.. He is not here to help edit Wikipedia. AS you can see from his contributions, he has already blanked my user page, which I have cautioned him about and copied over my barnstars from Worm TT onto his user page, which I removed. I know him from real life and he is currently upset, because I got angry with him earlier today. Please, I am begging you, do not teach him how to use Wikipedia properly, as I know he will only use it to remove content, which I have spent time creating. If you have any further queries about him, please do ask. I hope we can unite about this.  Adam mugliston  Talk  20:35, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the headsup.--Charles (talk) 22:40, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

please answer as soon possible . thanks --sola$$$$$$$$ (talk) 16:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

If such things are in the public domain there is no way of hiding them. Many users are usually right.--Charles (talk) 19:09, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Azad Kashmir

Thanks for your response. In the the article " Azad Kashmir", I didn't find the names of two very prominent political people. One is the fonder president of Azad Kashmir, who also was electecd President for the second time in 2006, and who also represented Kashmiries in United Nation. His name is Saradar Ibrahim Khan. Second, the two time president and one time Prime Minister of Azad Kashmir, who also was the part of the freedom struggle in 1947. He is writer of more than one books on Kashmir, and a very well respected political figure in Pakistan, Azad Kashmir and in the Arab World. his name is Sadar Mohammad Abdul Qayyum Khan. Similalry there are some other prominent people from Azad Kashmir, who have earned their names in various fields e.g. Ahmad Shamim is a famous Urdu language Poet, Sbhan Rather and famous ( and probably the only living) singer of Kashmiri langauage who also received Presidential medal for Pride of Performance. These are a few names only. There are many more people whose names can be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tausif Khawaja (talk • contribs) 11:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tausif. Anybody can have an article written about them as long as they are considered notable by Wikipedia. This means having significant coverage in reliable secondary sources such as books and quality newspapers. If you just mean to add them to the Azad Kashmir page then they still need reliable sources but not as much as for a page of their own. You may find people with more local knowledge than me at WikiProject Pakistan. I will put an invitation to the Teahouse on your talkpage as that is a useful forum for new editors. I hope this helps. Feel free to come here again if there is anything else I can help with.--Charles (talk) 13:26, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

The Tea Leaf - Issue Three

Hi! Welcome to the third edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!

• Teahouse reaches two month mark. The Teahouse has been live on English Wikipedia for two months now and evidence of the project's impact is beginning to show. Thank you to the hosts and Wikipedians who have helped make the Teahouse the valuable place for new editor's to seek help and feel welcome.
• April metrics report has been posted on meta! Some relevant metrics from April’s report include:

• In April, Teahouse averaged 45 questions per week.
• An average of 20 new editors visiting for the first time were served at the Teahouse, in addition to repeat guests.

Wikipedia Teahouse always keeps it classy!

• Many guests are repeat visitors: the average guest asks 1.5 questions and 22% of guests ask more than one question.

• Reports show that the Teahouse is having a positive impact on editor engagement! Comparing a sample of 75 new editors who participate in the Teahouse with a control group (of equivalent size and similar first-day editing activity) shows:

• New editors who participate in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles than the uninvited control group.
• New editor participants also make an average six times more global edits.
• Average Teahouse participants add 26 times more bytes of content that survive on Wikipedia (meaning content that isn't reverted or deleted) than the uninvited control group.

• More Teahouse participants remain active on Wikipedia at least 10 days later. Among the 224 editors in our three experimental groups, 28 percent of new editors who participate in the Teahouse were still active on Wikipedia at least ten days later, compared with 12 percent who received an invitation but didn't actively participate in the Teahouse, and only 5 percent from a similar uninvited control group.
• Teahouse visibility is a challenge, as we try to make the Teahouse visible to new editors, invitation has been the the main way of informing new editors about the Teahouse, and while that is a powerful tool, many new editors go uninvited. Input on Teahouse link placement is welcome! (Join in on the conversation here.)
• Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host! Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting here.
• Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is a really nice way to make new editors feel welcome.

Please moderate your tone and behaviour

You have exhibited aggression here, and exhibited it in more than one way and in more than one message there. You have issued a threat there, something that you must know is inappropriate behaviour. Good practice at this point is to apologise and then walk away from the group of articles you appear to be concerned with and edit something completely different, perhaps for a while, perhaps for good.

I perceive you to be a decent editor who has become frustrated, perhaps because others disagree with you. Your position may be correct or not and your views may prevail or not, but we work, as you are aware, by consensus and by assuming good faith. The tone you have adopted strains that assumption of good faith, something that ought not to happen, and something that is under your control to restore. Please work to restore it. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I have not seen a response from you to User:Dahliarose that apologises, nor have I seen you take the wiser approach of walking away from these articles, something I suggested that you do, and something I now suggest most strongly. This diff shows that you are still engaged in behaviour that is not congruent with the building of consensus and that you are still concerning yourself actively with these articles.

I note the reasons you gave in your edit summary there. If this were an isolated incident I would not be concerned, but it appears to me that you have some sort of agenda in mind to target a particular series of articles. While this may not be the case, I counsel you most strongly to avoid both this set of articles and this apparent behaviour. Wikipedia does not benefit from this in the smallest way, nor do the editors who make up the community. If you feel an article is badly referenced, and many of these articles are indeed badly referenced, a far more community oriented course of action would be to source references for them. If you insist on concerning yourself with these articles, and I agree that you have every right to do so, I suggest and request that you work to find references and thus improve Wikipedia rather than adopt what appears to be your current approach of tearing things down.

At the very least, use each article's talk page to build consensus, and please cease this apparent unilateral action. You may be correct or you may not be. Consensus is the way to go here, not some sort of being bold. At present the apparent consensus of interested editors appears to be against you. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:43, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
