Misplaced Pages talk pages are not forums for you to air your grievances; they are intended for article improvement via material that is reliably sourced. OhNoitsJamie 17:59, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Power of 200 Million! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. |
Final warning
If you continue to use Misplaced Pages for a soapbox, you will be blocked from editing indefinitely. OhNoitsJamie 01:42, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Unbelievable is this the level to which wikipedia has gone? you are now going to try and stop people from posting in the discussion pages? this is ridiculous, you cannot edit the personal user page of someone. Your own page is a complete blog http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Ohnoitsjamie.
- The discussion pages were the only things left in wikipedia where facts were being put, the main pages are paid for by people anyway to stop others from editing them. The only thing left was the discussion pages. If the discussion pages go then pretty much everything is gone in wikipedia. On top of that you are trying to police the personal user page as well? unbelievable. Power of 200 Million (talk) 01:44, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Paid editing is VERY much frowned upon on Misplaced Pages. If you have any evidence that somebody is being paid to promote a particular point of view, you should contact the arbitration committee immediately - such an editor would be liable to a lengthy, possibly an indefinite block from editing.
On the talk page, you have been told what would it take for your contributions to be included in an article. Misplaced Pages does not serve for unsourced accusations; you need to find reliable sources. Even then, should you find a source for Pakistan making a particular accusation against India, you can't include it as if it were an indisputable fact (not unless there's an overwhelming agreement in reliable sources that the accusation is true). Instead, you need to mention who made the accusation, what the accusation was, and perhaps what was India's response.
You need to have a look at the policies of neutrality and verifiability. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Power of 200 Million, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
Since you've shown some interest in editing topics related to Pakistan, we hope you'll stay and add content to Pakistan-related articles. Pakistani topics are generally underrepresented on Misplaced Pages and you can help counter this imbalance by becoming a regular contributor and by joining or watchlisting Pakistan-related discussions (for example, Notice board for Pakistan-related topics). Again, welcome!
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question.

Welcome! | Hello! You look like someone who might be interested in joining the Pakistan WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you help us :-) Mar4d (talk) 08:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC) |
Hi, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'm from WikiProject Pakistan. We're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of Pakistan.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- You can give your input at project's main discussion page and keep it on your watchlist: Misplaced Pages talk:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics.
- You can !vote and work on saving articles that are up for deletion at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan.
- Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Pakistan article in Misplaced Pages.
- Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.
- Please participate in any of our descendant workgroups that might interest you.
- Add your name in the members at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Pakistan/Members. There's also a user box template which you can put on your user page to identify yourself as a member: {{User WikiProject Pakistan}}

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Misplaced Pages, please note that Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Misplaced Pages is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia, as you did at Talk:Kashmir conflict. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing this website, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia (please see WP:NOT for further details). Thank you.
