https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Persecution_of_Hindus#Request_for_comments

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I have requested comments from others at https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Persecution_of_Hindus#Request_for_comments. How do I ask others for help without being pulled up for canvassing (I've already read the matter at https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment)? The mob killed many Hindus in and around the temple and so, I want that section restored.—Khabboos (talk) 04:56, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:RFC and notifications at community places, such as WikiProjects, fall within the appropriate means of gathering community participation as explained at WP:CANVASS. Where you will draw problems in terms of canvassing would be to notify individuals at places where you know or even believe would benefit only one side of the discussion. I would strongly discourage you to notify people off-Misplaced Pages. You will also need to ensure that when you notify people that you do not present your own argument with out equally and fairly presenting the other side. Generally people avoid this by simply notifying people that a discussion regarding a certain topic is taking place and do not mention your own preference of the situation. Your RFC borderlines on this. Mkdw 05:28, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

March 2014

Hello Khabboos, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Your addition to Sectarianism in Pakistan‎ has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Misplaced Pages, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. You may also want to review Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Misplaced Pages:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Misplaced Pages articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Misplaced Pages project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SMS 19:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

O.K., thanks!—Khabboos (talk) 17:05, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

AE notice

Hello Khabboos. I have filed an Arbitration Enforcement request related to your recent edits here. -- SMS 14:06, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Can you please remember that you're ONLY permitted one statement section on AE. All of your comments should be under the same section. If you're replying to someone, you're supposed to start with :@theuserid DP 16:05, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

O.K., thanks!—Khabboos (talk) 14:22, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Copying citations from other articles

You said at Talk:Terrorism in Pakistan#Reverts by Smsarmad that you had copied citations from other articles. If you do this, you still have to check that the citations are valid. This means that the citations have to be: 1. Relevant. 2. Back the material you are providing them as sources for. 3. If they are internet links, they have to work at the time you post them.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:14, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

O.K., thanks!—Khabboos (talk) 14:22, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Archiving bot

If you look at my talk page you will see that I have an archiving bot set up. You will see that the bot is also set up on some article talk pages - e.g. Talk:Salafi movement. You might want to try experimenting with this feature on your own talk page. If things are archived by a bot, it takes all the heat out of their being archived. You can adjust the parameters of the archiving bot as desired - I sometimes change the parameters on the one on my talk page depending on circumstances.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:04, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

O.K., thanks!—Khabboos (talk) 16:21, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Please

Either enable email or mail me, I believe you to be a sock of a currently banned user, but as I am not positive I would prefer to keep it off wiki. Darkness Shines (talk) 23:20, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I created this User ID (Khabboos) only in Jan. this year and have made some edits with my I.P. before that. Does that make me a sock - please educate me about that? I have enabled my e-mail, so pls do e-mail me. Thanks!—Khabboos (talk) 13:34, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

AE request closed

Hi, I have closed the AE request against you without formal action. Please be very careful to adhere to Misplaced Pages policy, especially when editing in a controversial topic area. In particular, please be mindful of WP:NPOV and WP:OR. Thank you, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
