A welcome from Sputnik edit

Hi, Asfandyar, Welcome to Wikipedia!  
Hello, bonjour, salut, privyet, konichiwa, shalom, hola, salve, sala'am, bonjourno, and hi! I'm Sputnik. I noticed that you were new and/or have yet to receive any messages so I just thought I'd pop in to say "hello". We're glad to have you in our community! I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Wikipedia can be a little intimidating at first, since it's so big but we won't bite so Be Bold and get what you know down in microchips! If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful. If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you. Here are a few links to get you started:
And remember:
  • If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
  • If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.
  • P.S. I'm happy to help new users. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :)

Happy Wiki-ing!

Thank you for starting the article. And welcome to Wikipedia. One hint: try to use categories that already exist. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.--Rockero 05:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Urdu translations edit

Hi, I'm trying to build up a database to create articles on political parties on different wikipedias. Could you have a look at User:Soman/Lang-Help-ur? Thanks, --Soman 14:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply


Mazandaran Language edit

Dear Isfandiyar, i saw you have added the persian as main language since it is the official language of iran but people in mazandaran have the local language in it's own right, Thank you for your contribute, please keep to improve the articles about Tabaria --Ali 16:41, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mehfil edit

Hello, could I bother you to add the Urdu spelling of Mehfil? I assume that the spelling in the Arabic language would be the same (is that correct)? Because we need the Arabic spelling in the article as well. Many thanks, Badagnani 08:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, it looks right--someone has added it to the Mehfil article. Does it look correct there to you? Badagnani 01:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Infoboxes edit

I have been looking through the output of my bot and have found a large number of articles such as Cadet College Skardu and many other cadet colleges on which there are subst'd infoboxes. You should know that infoboxes, in general, should not be subst'd. The main issue is that this template was not correctly formatted so all of these pages need to be edited (I'd be happy to help) so that they can be checked by the bot. Can you tell me which template you used and what other pages you've used it on. Adam McCormick 02:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'll go ahead and make those recognizable, would it be helpful to have an infobox template for such schools or have they all been created? I'd be happy to put one together if it would be any help Adam McCormick 13:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Infobox Afghanistan Province edit

Hello. First thanks for that infox, you did an awesome job. But recently I see the template for Iran Province, take a look here please. I tried changing it to make it look like that one but I am new to this. Can you plase make the Afghanistan Province template look like the Iran province template? I'd really appreciate that. Thanks a ton. --Behnam 05:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art edit

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 23:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Urdu Wikipedia edit

Dear friend,

You seem to be an active Wikipedian from Pakistan. We have an Urdu Wikipedia that needs all the help that it can get. Currently, we do not have many active users and we will really appreciate if you would consider becoming an active contributor. As you are already familiar with Wikipedia's style and rules, your presence would also help elevate the overall content quality.

Hope to see you soon at Urdu Wikipedia

Proposed deletion of Tariq Anwar edit

 

The article Tariq Anwar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Patchy1 REF THIS BLP 06:40, 20 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Cadet College Larkana edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cadet College Larkana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://ccl.edu.pk/about-ccl/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Flat Out let's discuss it 09:41, 26 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
