Re : See Sindhi Diasoproa

While I'm quitely agree with the migration of the Pakistani peoples to other Commonwealth countries during the British period. It is wrong to said the Samma are similar with the Sama-Bajau peoples of the Philippines. Even their ethnic name is similar, they are identified as a non related ethnic groups. The Samal people in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia is originally came from the Philippines Archipelago and like the Sea Bajaus they spend most of their lives in the sea. I give you an example of the Romani people and see the note at the top of the article, they are not related to the Romanians of Romania even though the name is very identical. ~ Muffin Wizard ^;) 06:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

If so, then where is the source to support your claimed about the Pakistani Samma migration to the Philippines? Please provide any reliable sources be it from Google Books or other news source. ~ Muffin Wizard ^;) 07:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! 220 of ^Borg 06:52, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

No problems please feel free to fix but please do so quickly as copyright is taken very seriously on Wikipedia and admins tend to act very quickly. Thanks again for your contributions. Glen 07:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi again. This article still qualifies as a copyright violation. The entire paragraph starting "During the reign of Essa Khan Turkhaan..." is a direct copy and paste. Do not remove the tag without rewriting it. Glen 07:52, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

@Glen: Unfortunately they have removed the template 3 more time since you returned it, despite me warning them about edit warring below. They have also not mentioned said removal so in their edit summary "linking to relevant pages" See here. I am starting to think WP:COMPETENCY. 220 of ^Borg 05:05, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Jogi don, it appears that you have, finally, removed the copyvio per your edits here. Thank you, however, you should have done that far earlier, and you should have made sure no copyvio existed when you created the page. Such an edit should also not be marked 'minor'. You were then allowed to remove the COPYVIO message, but not justified in also removing valid maintenance templates, as you did here. I have restored those templates. (You also gave no reason for that edit). There are still no Inline citations in the text. I had a look at the sources and they do not look reliable. "Our Lovely Sindh" [1] for example is a blog which also looks like it may have been copied from Wikipedia! The 2011 census data should be available on-line without using another website like ourhero.in [2]. 220 of ^Borg 06:56, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Rajpar cmt on my talkpage

Please do not reply or comment about this on my talkpage, keep the discussion on your talkpage, that is here. You said to me:

"I have not did any wrong, I have only provided the information.--Jogi don (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2015 (UTC)"

Which is incorrect, you are responsible for your edits. You created a wp: copyright violation when you created the Rajpar page. You have now removed a perfectly valid warning template 4 times, without removing the copied words. You are wp:edit warring despite me warning you about that earlier, here. 220 of ^Borg 05:17, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 07:07, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hussainabad

Jogi don,

• The Hussainabad page is supposed to be a wp:disambiguation page as therea are many pages about places with a similar or similar sounding name,
• An edit summary of "Hussainabad is the town of Khairpur,Sindh" does not tell anyone why you reverted to the incorrect page.
• If there is no page about a place called Hussainabad, Sindh or Hussainabad, Khairpur the proper course is to create a new page, not 'hijack' another page as has happened here, which I realise was done by another editor.

If you have any more questions about this please make them here. 220 of ^Borg 03:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Huussainabad is town of Khairpur,Sindh

Dear Borg thanks, Here I let you know that hussainabad is the town of Khairpur Sindh. If you found it disambiguation kindly redirect it to the hussainabad , which is the town of khairpur Sindh.--Jogi don (talk) 03:29, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I have copied your reply here to keep the discussion in one place. Unfortunately, I am not sure what you are saying. You have already told me that "Hussainabad is the town of Khairpur,Sindh". So what? That is irrelevant

• You have also not provided any sources. Wikipedia (WP) requires sources for wp:VERIFIABILITY. Anything that is not verifiable can be removed! Therefore I can also revert that page as it is unverified. (A dab page does not require sources)
• Have you understood that it is an incorrect edit for a page that has existed for nearly 9 years as a disambiguation page, to be 'hijacked' for another purpose? See the edit here from about six months ago where Shujaat Laghari (talk · contribs) changed the page, which they should not have done, but they only have 3 edits, so didn't know. I have explained this in my edit summary and you have more more edits than Shujaat Laghari so you should understand.
• If an experienced editor, such as Materialscientist (actually a very highly experienced editor and Admin) reverts you, it is almost certainly for a good reason. I strongly suggest you not blindly revert when your edits are reverted, ask yourself why? Read any messages that editor sends you. Read the edit sumnmaries, which should also explain. If not, politely ask the editor about it. This is also known as the wp:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (WP:BRD).

  Please revert your edit (which reverted my edit) to Hussainabad promptly, or I will have too, which I would rather not do. 220 of ^Borg 04:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

You have had over 2 hours to revert as requested, but you have not done so. I have therefore reverted back to the dab page. You have also been edit warring by removing a valid copyright violation template at Rajpar. Any more unwarranted reverts will see you reported to the wp:Edit warring noticeboard. You may be blocked from editing to prevent damage to Wikipedia. It is up to you. 220 of ^Borg 05:38, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Rajpar Edit warring 1

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Rajpar. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges.

  You must stop removing the copyright violation template. You did this 3 times in 75 minutes, an hour which is a violation of wp:3RR, which limits you to 3 'reverts' in 24 hours on a single page! 220 of ^Borg 04:33, 24 April 2015 (UTC) Note: Minor correction of time period. 220 of ^Borg 04:45, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Rajpar Edit warring 2

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rajpar. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
You have now removed the copyright warning template 4 times. 220 of ^Borg 05:19, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Once again, I have copied your answer (above) from my talkpage here to your talkpage. I have already asked you before to answer Here on your talkpage. This keeps the discussion on one page, not spread across two pages. [[File:|25px|link=]]
If you need to get my attention, put {{Reply to|220 of Borg}} on this page and I will be notified. Regards, 220 of ^Borg 07:26, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

{{Reply to|220 of Borg}} I got it.

April 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Rajpar. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Per my earlier personal message, here is the 'official' warning. 220 of ^Borg 06:58, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

'Disambiguation link notifications'

Just a little more advice, when you receive a message like this it means that you have placed a link on a page to a Disambiguation (Dab) page. That means the link is likely not going to where you want it to. Like 'Shikarpur' which can be several things, a city, or district in Pakistan, or a city, town or village in India! Note that the message came from DPL bot a 'Bot', a computer program, not a person. But, you are supposed to do something about it.

I have gone through the message and tried to fix the problems it found (it took me about 2 hours, thought I fixed other problems I found at the same time!) This won't be necessary if you check the links when you make them. It is quite common for a link to not go where you expect, especially when there are several places with the same name. 220 of ^Borg 13:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@220 of Borg: Ok Thanks for fixing it , but now I will try first to sort the relevant link and then link it . Thanks budy.--Jogi don (talk) 05:30, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Satush have done blunders and you are defending him. he have done blunders to Samma tribe and Rajpar articles. If you are making wikipedia a reliable source of information so please don't remove historical information of particular geographical things,places,peoples. I belong to Sindh and Pakistan, where Samma_tribe ruled. see Samma_dunasty. So I know better the history of my region more than anybody else. here its requested to refrain from removing the content of Samma tribe. give Sammat or Samma tribe article its previous staus of contents. thanks. Hope you perceive my point of view. --Jogi don (talk) 05:20, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Jogi don. I am not defending anyone, I am only defending Wikipedia's policy of reliable sources commonly known by the abbreviation WP:RS. If there are no sources for your information other than yourself you might as well forget about adding it to Wikipedia. Here, information is only added once it has appeared in reliable sources. There are simply no shortcuts or exemptions to this rule. Thank you for your understanding. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 05:26, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις.

I provide you the reference and you should also do research for Samma tribe and Samma Dynasty, so you can understand my point of view. find it here [tribe History], here [[3]], here www.jatland.com/home/Samma, here[[4]], here [Samma Tribe], here [[5]], here [[ http://historyofpakistan.kamranweb.com/sindh/history-of-sindh.html]], Want more? --Jogi don (talk) 05:36, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Google searches are not reliable sources. Facebook is not a reliable source. Your personal knowledge does not count unless it is published and accepted by academic reviewers. You need specific, academically accepted sources with page numbers and ISBNs etc. In any case, Sitush is an expert on reliable sources. Instead of edit-warring against him, perhaps you should try to find some specific reliable sources and discuss them with him. This is the best practice I can advise you to follow at this time. This way noone gets blocked and the process is clear and predictable. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 05:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Good , if Satush is an expert on reliable sources, then why he can't find the information about Samma tribe,Samma dynasty. He have removed previous content of Samma_tribe, is this [[6]] not reliable, if it was not reliable so they should have not put such information.If they put information then why it can't be on Wikipedia. I again repeat that Satush have done blunder by removing reverting the previous contents of Samma tribe. If you don't believe me, then go to the history/previous status of Samma tribe article of Wikipedia, before my edits. I just reproduced the contents of Samma tribe, which Satush removed. why he removed , ask him, is he a historian? does he belong to Sindh and know well the History of Sindh,Indian subcontinent and presend day Balochistan,Punjab, Rajhastan India. If he was astute and expert on reliable sources , He should have to gone through all the pages of history, research himself for such contents which he was going to remove. its not fair such users are making Wikipedia their OTAQ/Court.--Jogi don (talk) 06:07, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

www.jatland.com is indeed not a reliable source. I don't think you are reading my replies very carefully. Remember I told you about ISBNs, academic sources, academic reviewers etc? Jatland is none of the above. Please realise that sources like Jatland are worthless on Wikipedia. If you can find some papers published by academics who are recognised worldwide and respected by their peers then you would be able to add information on Wikipedia. Otherwise it will not be possible to do so. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 06:15, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

see this [Samma Tribe], almost similar content was the previous content of Samma Tribe article of Wikipedia,Which now remains empty because your Expert user have removed. He must explain why he did removed the content. you are asking me , I am replying as well as defending my point of view but you have not still asked Satush for his blunders.--Jogi don (talk) 06:16, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

The message on your link says the article has been removed. In any case, the website does not look reliable to me either. Again, Sitush is an experienced and knowledgeable user on Wikipedia. He is also widely respected. Talking about his alleged "blunders" is not the best way to move forward. I think you should recognise his expertise and respect his advice. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 06:23, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Sure, Jatland may not be reliable for you, And I don't know any ISBN on Samma Tribe , you should yourself research about the old history of Sindh,Indian Subcontinent there are many ISBN, books written on such topics surely you will get the information. But If you don't agree that your dearest user have done any blunder, and you are not going to previous content of Samma tribe article of Wikipedia, which are removed by apple of your eyes user Satush. He is no more expert in before me, If he was expert then he should not have done blunder by removing the previous content of Samma tribe before any research,knowledge,expertness is not the sole degree of astute,shrewd and knowledgeable person. He should have to realize his mistakes,He should be elastic,dynamic.--Jogi don (talk) 06:29, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add derogatory or sarcastic comments like apple of your eyes or dearest user. I am sincerely trying here to help you understand how Wikipedia works. It is up to you to believe me or not. I have no dog in this fight. I just wanted to make you aware that Sitush is an expert Wikipedian and he is respected by many other Wikipedians. I can't force you to believe me. But you should be aware that instead of insulting people about "apples in their eyes", "dearest users", "blunders" and other such crap, you should try to communicate with them. This is a community-driven project and to get the respect of the community you should be respectful of others and respectful of the policies of the community. If you are not, it will become increasingly difficult for you to edit here. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 06:42, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Jogi don, the situation has been explained to you by Dr.K./πράξις with remarkable patience. One of my several failings is a tendency to be impatient when people repeatedly fail to understand something. You should therefore be grateful that you have been dealing more with Dr.K. than with me. I do think it is time for you to move on regarding this article. You either find some genuinely reliable sources of the general type that have been suggested above or you drop the stick. The more you persist in a line of argument that you are never going to win, the more likely it is that you will find yourself in trouble here. It isn't worth it: there are plenty of other useful contributions you could make to this project, many of which wouldn't even involve a conflict of interest. - Sitush (talk) 06:51, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks dear Dr.K, for your valueable suggestions and help , I respect you, your opinion.I have respect for those who are responsible , I have asked Satush , Why he did removed the contents of Samma tribe, but he have not replied yet, you should ask him , why he is so irresponsible. Ask him why he removed the contents of samma tribe see this article Samma tribe, which was full of information before any attempt of removal by Satush, now it looks empty. and Satush is the responsible to let you know, let me know, let us all Wikipedians to know the reason why he removed the contents. No body is going to ask him instead you are giving me warnings. If you would remove me, block me do it, but make sure Wikipedia will no more be reliable, Open Community. It will remain only a community of bigotry experts who are not responding to the questions asked them.--Jogi don (talk) 06:58, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Mr.Satush thanks for your kind reply , now kindly explain me and other Wikipedians , why you removed the previous contents of Samma tribe.--Jogi don (talk) 07:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I have explained, several times and in varying depth. The problem appears to be that you do not like it. That's tough luck, I'm afraid. - Sitush (talk) 07:03, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I am off to a hospital appointment in a few minutes. Would this source help you to expand the article or that of the dynasty? - Sitush (talk) 07:06, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Mr.Satush, Can you kindly tell me where you have explained several times , give me link of your several explanations so I can see those explanations that Why you removed the previous contents of Samma tribe article of Wikipedia.

(edit conflict) Jogi, let me first thank you for your kind words. I reciprocate the respect you are showing me. From your reply I can sense that you are beginning to understand that Wikipedia is a community. That makes me hopeful that you can also understand that this community has strict policies about reliable sources. Sitush removed the material because in his estimation there were no sources or the sources were not reliable enough. I can tell you from now that if you went anywhere on Wikipedia and asked people they would tell you the same story that I am telling you. The story would be the same that Sitush is telling you. In other words, the sources are not reliable enough. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 07:13, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Dr.K ,You are welcome, I let you know that I am Computer Scientist, Software developer as well as aspirant of CSS Competitive examination of Pakistan. I understand that this is a community and I'm obliged to it. consider, the material of Samma tribe removed by Satush due to no any reliable source, then How it remained same before. I testify that the previous contents/material of Samma tribe are 100% true to my knowledge. --Jogi don (talk) 07:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Material can remain unsourced or poorly sourced for some time, or even for a long time. But, once detected, the material may be removed by anyone simply on the basis that the sources are either unreliable or non-existent. This is one of the rules that are widely accepted on Wikipedia. Personal attestations that the material is valid or correct do not count. There is a noticeboard where you can get more information about the reliability of your sources. Just click on WP:RSN and ask them about the reliability of your sources. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 08:01, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

How can I embed the source such as I have found this one [this Google book] for samma tribe.--Jogi don (talk) 09:23, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I am happy to help you cite any decent sources that you may find. The one you link, however, is not decent. Indeed, it is a "mirror" of Wikipedia itself, ie: one of several publishers who simply copy our articles for printing in books, usually using the "print-on-demand" system - easy money for virtually no effort. - Sitush (talk) 09:49, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

As you have mentioned above (several publishers who simply copy our articles for printing in books) it is proved that you neither recognize other books,ISBN nor Wikipedia articles. you don't endorse Wikipedia articles. You have been putting me in a dilemma. Your attitude is strictly stubborn, its proved Wikipedia is not open community its for those bigotry stubborn So called experts. Now its upto you to insert the information into Samma tribe article of Wikipedia. Let me see what reliable,sourced knowledge you find and put it to public knowledge. Its proved you don't allow other Wikipedians such as me to insert the information in articles. What is wrong with this (The Samma are the Sindhi speaking Sindhi Rajput clan of Rajputs, settled in Sindh,Balochistan,Rajasthan India.And they are descendents of Samma Dynasty.) --Jogi don (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2015 (UTC).

Dr.K. told me to provide the ISBN,Academic sources, I provided it and its reverted?. I am not making any contribution in Wikipedia , I hate this Wikipedia project, stubborn attitude of its users. Now make yourself research for Samma tribe as you are experts and insert it into the article or delete that article. its more suitable to delete that article. Na hogi Bhens Na Bajega Baja.--Jogi don (talk) 10:33, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

If other books copy from Wikipedia we cannot use them as reference because it would be like we are using ourselves as references. In effect this would mean that we produce whatever fact we want and then use ourselves as reference to validate it. Nobody in their right mind would believe Wikipedia if that were the case and the whole project would fall into disrepute if such practices were allowed to stand. The reason the project has a good reputation is that it does not allow self-referencing for publishing facts. This is also the reason that unreferenced facts are removed. It is done to protect the credibility of Wikipedia. Without credibility this project would not exist. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 18:42, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

SO now what are you doing for Samma tribe article of Wikipedia? will it be empty or would allow me to insert the data. Which I know. And appoint a Wkipedian to do research and to insert data into it.--Jogi don (talk) 04:49, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

I get the impression that no matter how many times people explain to you why and how reliable sources are used on Wikipedia you seem not to accept or understand anything that is being told to you. I'm not sure if this is due to a language barrier or something else but this discussion is a waste of time. This is not very constructive. I think you should know the answer by now but I will spell it out for the last time in the remote chance it registers. Unless you can come up with a source that is reliable as described multiple times to you by now the answer is no. Your personal word or knowledge is not sufficient to satisfy the criteria set by WP:RS. You must find a reliable source by a recognised expert on the subject of the tribe otherwise the article about the tribe will remain in the state it is now. As far as a Wikipedian being appointed to do research on the tribe, this is not the way things work on Wikipedia. Nobody appoints anyone. No guarantees can be given to you that anyone will bother to do any research on this topic. Now if you come up with another question similar to the one you just asked, or any other comment indicating lack of understanding of the concept of reliable sources I will not reply further. I always try to help but not when I see my time getting wasted. Good luck to you regardless. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 05:39, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Its not language barrier , I can understand,speak,write English as you can. I provided evidence from other websites,ISBN but that are not acceptable to you. Isn't irritating. What you accept, YOu have deadlocked this article. I can't interpret the reason behind it either a bigotry,stubbornness or anything else.--Jogi don (talk) 06:56, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Iqbal Jogi

Hello Jogi don,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Iqbal Jogi for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vvvaggot (talk) 11:29, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Bhangu.

I am not stepping through all of the various levels of warning. You should be well aware from the voluminous discussions above that we need a reliable source and that your own knowledge is insufficient for the purposes of Wikipedia. Sitush (talk) 11:51, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Dear Satush , Bhangu is a caste in Sindh as well and they live in Khairpur district. And Mohtaram see I provided the website and ISBN references but they are no value for you. So tell me what are those reference , kindly help me in this regard and let me know any sample , which you consider is right , as I am still novice,with help of people like you I can manage and perform well for Wikipedia and to fulfill my thirst of being a social --Jogi don (talk) 05:33, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Master Chander

Hello Jogi don,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Master Chander for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vvvaggot (talk) 07:08, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I can't see your talk page where to write you, but I say that Master Chander was an Indian singer and Iqbal Jogi was a Flute / Murli Player and he was famous as well. so instead of deleting it help improve these articles. THanks--Jogi don (talk) 07:18, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

August 2015

Your recent editing history at Template:Sindh University Alumni shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind thythyatat while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- GB fan 10:32, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

GB FAn, Dear , File:UOS logo.png is already used in Wkipedia article University of Sindh which is owned by University of Sindh , SEE IT HERE and its free image so it can be used for University of Sindh Alumni. so hope you do understand ,

No it its not a free image. It is used in that article under a claim of fair use. That is the one time noon free images can be used. They can not be used on any page that its not an article. -- GB fan 11:13, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Categorisation

Hi, categories are as subject to WP:V as statements in articles. Your recent categorisations - such as this one - are inappropriate without sourced statements to support them. - Sitush (talk) 11:36, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Also, I note that you have been linking major countries such as India and Pakistan. We do not do that either, per WP:OVERLINK. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 11:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

And at Partition of India you added links to a section heading - we do not do that either, per WP:MOSHEAD. - Sitush (talk) 23:03, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sitush. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Samra, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

Edit summaries

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field.

This. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 07:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Rsrikanth05 I had added Sindhi language name for Ulhasnagar because Ulhasnagar is area of Sindhi hindus who migrated from Sindh to India after Partition of Sub-continent. So what is wrong to insert its name in Sindhi language script.?. In every Wikipedia article its written articles names in non-English more than other languages, if its so that you have mentioned above , so it should also be applied everywhere in Wikipedia. So its requested you kindly restore my edits that I had made in Ulhasnagar.--Jogi don (talk) 07:20, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

There are rules, and there are exceptions to rules. To prevent edit warring on the basis of the logic that you just gave me, WP:INDICSCRIPTS states that no Indic script text will be used in Indian articles. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:41, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Problem edits

Is there any point in me leaving a message regarding the requirement for reliable sources? I reverted nearly all of your edits at Sanam Baloch as you added unsourced personal info, poor grammar and promotional material to the article. I assumed you weren't aware of the sourcing requirements, however it is evident from this talk page that you are aware but continue regardless. This isn't an option - please start heeding Wikipedia's policies or you will likely find yourself blocked from editing.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:25, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

ponyo I have provided the reference to that above of my edit on Sanam Baloch , you can see on difference.

No, you did not reliably source the personal info you added here, though you did include a blog link randomly in the body of the article that's not even close to a reliable source (please click this link and read it from top to bottom!). Your response still doesn't explain why you think adding "is a skilled,pretty model" to the lead is appropriate, or address the very poor grammar. I understand that you want to help, but your edits are disruptive.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:24, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

ponyo Not it all , its just the truth about the actress that I had provided.any way I'll find out more reliable sources then surely will provide it , thanks any way for your valueable gudies, and If you can find any reliable source about the information which I had put and you reverted kindly find that sources and expand the article. have a nice day,(@@).Jogi 007 (talk) 03:39, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Michel Danino. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 09:25, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Kalwar

I am becoming very fed up of having to fix your edits, the most recent being at Kalwar. You have been here a while now and still do not seem to have got to grips with such basic concepts at WP:V. I think you should take a read of WP:GS/Caste because if this continues then it is likely that you will find yourself sanctioned. - Sitush (talk) 08:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Sitush Kalwar is also a caste in Sindh, and for relaible source read this news after two pics of this news there starts a new sentence "[Senior police official Abdul Qudoos Kalwar]", [in this 3rd paragraph see Kalwar], [in this 2nd paragraph see Kher Muhammad Kalwar]it means that Kalwar are also present in Sindh.10:27, 2 September 2015 (UTC)Jogi 007 (talk)

That someone called Kalwar lives in a place does not mean that a clan, tribe or caste lives there. I've also just had to revert you at Jat Muslim - you've been told before that we do not use Raj sources. - Sitush (talk) 10:30, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I had given the books reference for the 'Jats of sindh' why are you making it stubborn rather you should have to go through the research, find references of news,books and expand the article ,you cann't move your face from this fact that 'Jats of Sindh' are also present. Jogi 007 (talk) 11:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I have searched for News and books for the Kalwar and Jats of Sindh but didn't succeeds yet either there is no any book wrtiten or any news you may find yourself and do research So, Now you should go for finding the references for the Kalwar in Sindh and Jats in Sindh, read more about them as JAts and meds were the original inhibitants of Sindh who helped Arabs to invade Sindh [read this article] and [History of Pakistan]From now I'm going for wikibreak as in February2016 are my competitive exams. hope you'll till then do this valuable contribution to Wikipedia articels of Jats / Jats of Sindh and Kalwar.Jogi 007 (talk) 11:08, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

I have explained previously that sometimes some things just are not notable. The burden is on the person who adds information to ensure that it complies with such basic requirements as WP:V and WP:RS. It isn't my responsibility to find sources for you, although given enough time I might try. The links you have just given me are useless: one is a discussion forum and the other is, well, just something written by someone on the web - we do not know who it was and their sources are mostly of the type that we reject here. Is there something about WP:RS that you are struggling to understand? - Sitush (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I meant to add that I wish you well with your examinations. Thankfully, I'm long past that stage of life! - Sitush (talk) 12:45, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Ubed junejo AOA, I Hope you are fine. Before you going to blame me; You should have provided me the possible allegations links,references. Can you please tell me where I have misguided common people, lied and where I have written wrong English?, If I could find any grammatical errors in my edits any where I would definitely rectify it but its depends on whether you provide me those wrong english words, sentences, etc. I am Pakistani Wikipedian as well as Sindhi Wikipedian so I am more interested in topics related to Sindh and Pakistan. Now you must provide me the links of your allegations. You better know that without any reference or citation Wikipedia can't accept anything, So being a Wikipedian and abiding the Wikipedian rules I require you to provide me the same.

it is not my responsibility to search proofs for allegations made by you (its yours), nor is it my responsibility to prove your allegations wrong; until and unless you present authentic sources your edits on the discussed page are void and I will revert them. Proof that you present your opinions on Wikipedia are your edits on page JSQM. You have written that JSQM is the only guardian of Sindh's national interests (I agree to some extent to that view point, but it is still view point and not fact). Later on the same page you have written that Shaheed Bashir Khan was poisoned by establishment. I firmly believe that he was poisoned by them, but according to Wikipedia standards this is not a fact as has not been proved without doubt so you can write it as "He was allegedly poisoned by establishment, forensic report was never made public etc.". Your number of edits is awesome, I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia, especially Sindh related articles, but please remain neutral while editing and cite credible sources. Regards--Ubed junejo (talk) 10:21, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Request

Thanks for joining WikiProject PSL! Can you also create a Sindhi Wikipedia article for Pakistan Super League, and add a Sindhi translation here? :) Mar4d (talk) 07:34, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Mar4d yes off-course , I had same idea in my mind and will definitely work on it and when I finsih it give you a link or you may then visit sd.wikipedia.org/wiki] and search it ....Jogi 007 (talk) 09:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Mar4d I have created سانچو:PSL_Barnstar on Sindhi Wikipedia but its doucumentation are not showing, it might be due to some reasons that Sindhi Wikipedia have not been worked on documentations and other tools which Urdu Wikipedia enjoys. in this regard I need your help. I have also created Wiki Project of Pakistan Premier league in Sindhi ويڪي منصوبو پاڪستان سُپرليگ. I will work on more after this and also work for that you have asked about to translation. Jogi 007 (talk) 11:23, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate it :) The reason why the documentation is not showing is because you need to create سانچو:Barnstar documentation (like Template:Barnstar documentation); or perhaps it already exists, but under a Sindhi name? If it hasn't been created, you can create it, it will basically have the same markup as the one used here. Since it is the Sindhi Wikipedia, I am assuming the names of templates might be in Sindhi. Mar4d (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Mar4d for Pakistan Super league project on Sindhi Wikipedia I have created required templates see them and We at Sindhi Wikipedia needs your help and also from Urdu Wikipedian for betterment and progress both of Sindhi Wikipedia project: Pakistan Super league and Sindhi wikipedia.

These below are the templates for ويڪي منصوبو پاڪستان سُپرليگ

• سانچو:PSL Barnstar

• وڪي منصوبو پاڪستان سپر ليگ سانچو:يوزر_وڪي_منصوبو_پاڪستان_سپر_ليگ

• سانچو:WP_PSL

• سانچو:Barnstar_documentation.

Thanks........Jogi 007 (talk) 07:50, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Sindh Barnstar

Would you be able to re-upload the File:SindhBarnStar.jpg using the correct licensing? I think it was deleted because the licensing details were not correct. It was most likely a derivative work. Mar4d (talk) 09:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Mar4d: the deleted file File:SindhBarnStar.jpg is my own creation I made it in myself but it was deleted with other free images that I took from net and edited then uploaded. I actually now have decided to make a list and take pictures with my smartphone of places,things whose articles are present on Wikipedia.I am gonaa upload above mentioned file.Jogi 007 (talk) 09:52, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

,@Mar4d: I have been blocked on commons for uploading till 04:56, 2 April 2016, besides this image my own picture have been also deleted and this image was my own creation I edited and made it using MS-paint, can you upload it I'll send it to you via email.Jogi 007 (talk) 10:36, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

If you can confirm that the file was created by you and is not taken from elsewhere, sure I can take a look at it. Just be careful with the copyrights issues as they are taken seriously. Regarding the block, I believe there is the option of appealing or perhaps asking for getting it reduced but the copyright violations will need to be sorted for that. Mar4d (talk) 10:39, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

@Mar4d:, I am sure I made it myself but the image of Ajrak and Star both I took from the internet and merged/edited both images in MS-paint to make it Barnstar. I have requested to unblock on my commons user discussion. Jogi 007 (talk) 10:48, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hidaya Foundation

Hello Jogi don,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hidaya Foundation for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:56, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

The article was not deleted. It was moved by somebody to your sub page at User:Jogi don/Hidaya Foundation. I've had a look at it and searched for sources per WP:RS, and WP:V. The problem is, there aren't any. Until some leading national newspapers or magazines start writing in-depth articles about it, it won't be notable enough for Wikipedia. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:29, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kudpung: now have a fresh look on this article, after tireless searches in Google Search news section, I have founded the all possible references of newspapers and websites , now help me to get out this article from User:Jogi don/Hidaya Foundation to Hidaya Foundation. or how can I do it. thanks Jogi 007 (talk) 06:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Don, thanks for your contribution from me also. You made articles in Sindhi language which is very good thing. I like people who love their local region, local language & local culture and want to publish it for the World. I am seeing you since long time how much you are passionate about Sindh related topics. You are relatively new editor, if you need any help related to your work then you can ask me. Specially I can help you to publish Sindh or Pakistan related article to main page. Just think how you will feel when any Sindh related article which you created is on main page of Wikipedia. You create any culture or tourist place related article on Sindh or biography of well known person from Sindh, I will try to bring that to main page in DYK section. Local culture should be exposed. But make sure to inform me about article within 7 days of its creation and article should be on notable thing.

Hi Jogi don. I saw on Salvidrim's page that you were requesting an RfA nomination. I thought I'd drop you a note to say I don't think you're quite there yet, almost all successful candidates these days have over 10k edits of experience. I think if you spend a bit more time around the encyclopedia, you may well stand a chance. If you'd like some ideas on where to focus your time, why not look at my magic formula?

• The difference between "alerts" and "messages" notifications is unclear to some. The developers want feedback at the Phabricator task or on MediaWiki.org so they can make this better. You can give feedback in your language if you can't write in English.

Disambiguation link notification for January 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dr. Khalid Mehmood Soomro, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page International Islamic University. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

• The parsing change mentioned above caused a large number of pages to break, especially on Wikisource. [115]
• You may see falsely formatted edit links on both mobile and desktop devices. Mobile devices can also show incorrect formatted table of contents. This should be fixed soon. [116]

I shall now reply tomorrow...because its a office off time..ta tae take care. --Jogi 007 (talk) 11:15, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I am so sorry, I completely missed this reply. You mention historical places. Well, if you have a camera and notice some places that we do not have an image for, please consider taking the photo and uploading it to commons.

It sounds like you do great work at Sindhi Wiki. What sort of help and support were you thinking about?

Best wishes! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak:, Thanks dear, I would surely observe the historical places and other articles whose pictures are not existed on Commons Wiki, I have a smartphone and would also arrange a camera to take the photos of the places and surely would upload on Commnons, I would also request you to point out me such places and other articles whose photos are not present on Commons. Dear, I know you are a admin so I would like to suggest you to have a cursory look on SDWiki for its improvements and required templates to be completed, I would also like you to help me in completing the Wiki-projects , Wiki-Portals on SDWiki, for this I need a Bot (User:Jogi-bot) account, I am software developer but have no such experience of development of a robot (bot) so I would ask you to help me in making a bot, so that the Bot could complete the required templates for the Wiki-projects and Wiki Portals on Sindhi Wikipedia (sd.wikipedia.org SDWiki seriously need a bot , there are bot on Wikipedia but they are either in other languages or run by no-Sindhi speaker Wikipedian who can not soundly understand the Sindhi Wikipedia requirements). I want a bot for Sindhi Wikipedia to be used by myself and I would also ask you for help me to become a permanent admin plus a bureaucrat, auto-patroller and other such rights, so that I would do a better job for Sindhi Wikipedia and I want to invite you to come Pakistan so that we could further discuss the development of Sdwiki additionally I could show you the places of you choice where you are interested to visit and it would be an honor for me to be your host. Thanks Jogi 007 (talk) 03:37, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I really know nothing about SDWiki and cannot help there. I also know nothing about programming. Sorry I cannot help with any of that.

As for visiting, again, I have no plans right now, but would love to visit someday. I love Pakistani food too. And photos of the country look so amazing. I have had many Pakistani friends in Canada, where I am originally from. You are lovely, wonderful people! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:54, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "Favour me for adminship". Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

@Anna Frodesiak:, I mean that could you please suggest me for the adminship or support me for candidacy of adminship i.e recommend me for adminship and support for vote. thanks ..Jogi 007 (talk) 10:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Abdul Basit (Salman Khan fan)

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 Abdul Basit (Salman Khan fan) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Clubjustin (talk) 10:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

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.

Proposed deletion of Ghulam Mustafa Qasmi

Hello, Jogi don. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Ghulam Mustafa Qasmi, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Ghulam Mustafa Qasmi to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, • ArtsRescuer 18:23, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
