A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Mirwais Hotak. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia

• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Request reason:

I'm not abusing multiple accounts. I don't even know who the hell Lagoo sab is. I work at the Afghan embassy in Islamabad and there are a few other Afghans who use my IP range. User:Mar4d has admitted to using multiple accounts at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mar4d. This is injustice, I'm banned by racist admins while Mar4d who is also racist (anti-Afghan) has a very long history of using sockpuppets (i.e. User:Strider11 and User:Teckgeek). The racist admins know for sure that Mar4d is using many other names but they either fear him or want to protect him. I'm very sure about this. Remember the day of judgement, I do not forgive you.

Decline reason:

You had this declined - and your talkpage locked - the moment you made accusations of racism (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Maps of Afghanistan

A tag has been placed on Category:Maps of Afghanistan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted 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. Liz ^{Read!
