Image Tagging Image:Faisal Mosque Islamabad.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Faisal Mosque Islamabad.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --gren グレン 19:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Images

You have to start giving sources for where you get your images. You cannot just throw on public domain tags without giving us reasons for this. It is clear that some of these things are not your own work and to put on a public domain tag if it is not is illegal. We need to be able to verify that what you are adding is listed under the proper copyright so please help us out. Thanks. Until then you can assume that many of your images will be given Template:no source and maybe deleted. They are nice pictures so please help us save them. To see what image you've uploaded so you can more easily check just see this page. gren グレン 13:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Muslim thinkers in Urdu article

Dear M,

You may get great satisfaction out of reading those Muslim writers, but I'm not sure that any of them (save perhaps Maududi) is known for his style OUTSIDE the realm of religious literature. You can't use a language article to push your view of Islam. Other editors will not let you. Please don't play revert war. Zora 17:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Sind

You've done some great improvements in the Sind article! Keep it up!! deeptrivia (talk) 06:06, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

yes, your formatting was a good idea. Do you think you do a similar make-over for the other provinces and sub-regions of Pakistan as well? It would help with continuity so that all the province articles match. I worked on and added a lot of the information before you started your edits on all of the provinces so if you could help out some more that would be great. Thanks.

MQM

When you write about political parties or personalities, people have very different views about them. Take Tony Blair, how many like what he is doing. So be careful when you write anything which is controversial, if you write some thing which others don’t like due to political difference, please give solid reference. This is wikipedia, you can write what you like but be careful. There were some factual errors. Somebody wrote that it is third largest political party. I don’t know when it happened. Please pinpoint my editing which you thing are incorrect, I’ll be first to change in interest of wikipedia. Also don’t write comments on user page, write in discussion page. Last word, if you have references about MQM, Muhajirs and related articles, write them. But make sure that they are correct. We all want only correct information on wikipedia, even if some people dont like it. Thank you. Spasage 11:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Karachi images

OrphanBot! Hi, I've uploaded the image you pinpoint along with three others, yesterday (and did not claim that I produced these images). I have also provide the URL where the images are given, So that an experience editor confirm that these images are either PD or their fari use is permissible.

It should be noted that it is explicitly written on CreativeCommon webpage as well as source page http://www.world66.com/about/copyright_policy that

You are free:

   * to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work
   * to make derivative works
   * to make commercial use of the work

Please tell what should more I do.

User:Imran January 30, 2006

Since the images are under the Creative Commons 1.0 Share-Alike license, you need to replace the {{somewebsite}} or {{Don't know}} tag with the {{cc-sa}} tag. This puts the image in the correct copyright category. I've changed Image:Creek_Marina_Club_Karachi.jpeg to show you what's needed. --Carnildo 03:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Changed infobox

There's no point having an infobox if only one article uses it - each province plus Islamabad had their own infobox. So I've replaced the obsolete Template:Sind_infobox with a generic one for all provinces and territories. Green Giant 01:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I have made the Template:Sind infobox few months ago. Well, its good to have unique infobox for all provinces. I appreacite your efforts on desinging Template:Pakistan infobox.

User:M.Imran 11:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I replaced the infoboxes because most countries with provinces and states have a single infobox for their subdivisions. Sorry if it makes the Sind infobox obsolete. Green Giant 12:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Muhajir, Altaf Hussain and MQM

I just read your comment about me posted on Jan 13, 200 on MQM talk page, and I quote:

This page is only target of vandalism by you - Mr. Siddiqui. The number of misleading changes you made is more than many times by rest of all contributors. Your personal views and dislikeness for Urdu-speaking people, MQM and Altaf Hussain can not be generalized. Even if you want to express different views about MQM then you may put them under heading of Opposing views . But please dont distort the whole article. Misleading information is much harmful than ignorance. User:M.Imran 11:15 UT, January 13, 2006

May be you should visit my page and my also family website link to ascertain my ethnic and cultural background. I am Urdu speaking Muhajir from Karachi. I have seen the good side and bad side of Muhajir, Altaf Hussain and MQM et al. So please do not make any judgements about my "dislikeness for Urdu-speaking people" since I am one of them. I am not "distorting" facts but presenting neutral point of view.

Siddiqui 13:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I think you should stop putting any signs around any paragraph in MQM page. I also have concerns about many paragraphs in that article. I think you must consider your tactics and strategy in convincing any changes to that paragraph. I can also go and put signs around some paragraph that I consider to be inappropriate. You must remember that vandalism is serious charge.

Siddiqui 20:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

You have again deleted the paragraphs that you don't like. I will again caution you to follow Misplaced Pages's rules:

MQM Page

Imran, we have new user PeterHenych who wants to make some changes in MQM pages. You are welcome to join and contribute to mutual agreement for these changes.

Need your Help

I need support in editing the page for Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh from Pakistani-Wikipedians. The page concludes Pakistans link to 9/11 using information from Indian press and much information in that page is without proper references. The page says that ISI gives money to Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Sheikh then wired the money to Atta. I have checked some of the references on that page and information in the references is different from what is mentioned in it. I will appreciate any help because I have very less free time these days... Faisal 16:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Re:Mazar-i-Quaid is creating an issue in Jinnah's FAC

Hi Imran - the pic you uploaded is creating a question in Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Please check it as soon as you can - we need to know its source and copyright status. Thanks, Rama's Arrow 15:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I Need your help

The concept of Muslim being brother (all for one, one for all) is not a new concept. We being Muslims believe in Khilafat, the concept created by Muhammad (PBUH) and that concept was not created in 1900 as described in the articles with names Pan-Islamism and Muslim Unity. I wish if you can help in doing major modification in Pan-Islamism and Muslim Unity articles. I do not know that what the need of these articles is when a good article of Khilafat already exists. I will really appreciate you help. --- Faisal 20:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Pakistan changes

Hi! Due to an inevitable reversion of the article Pakistan, your edits (the images) in the article got automatically deleted. Could you please take the trouble of once again make those edits. Basically the article was missing a large chunk of itself, due probably to some kinda vandalism/inadvertant edits by somebody. Please cooperate and edit the article once again. Thanks. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi an anonymous user was repeatedly removing the Mahenjodaro image that you placed in Pakistan Image:Indusvalleyexcavation.jpg. U reverted his edits a few times. However, last time I checked the image status when I founf that the image is tagged for deletion as it does not have proper licensing info. Please do the needful and then place the image as you wish. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello your current tag for the mohenjodaro does not work - you stated that under Pakistani law pictures taken before 50 years fall under public domain. However, their is no source that verifies whether or not this image was taken 50 years ago. Please look into it. --Blacksun 21:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Category: Famous Muhajir

Your recent created Famous Muhajir category is unacceptable. All Muhajirs do not support MQM et al. So please do not Abdul Qadeer Khan, Pervez Musharraf, and others with MQM related ethnic hatred. Siddiqui 16:38, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you guys discuss this in Misplaced Pages talk:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics and get some consensus either way. Tintin (talk) 10:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

With all due respect, you should participitate in process of renaming Category:Famous Muhajir at
