Welcome!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, Khabboos! Thank you for your contributions. I am Writers Bond and I have been editing Misplaced Pages for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

You have constantly and purposely violated and attempted to violate Wikipedias neutral point of view and rule on editing on several pages (Talk:Karachi, Talk:Sindhi people, Jayapala, and Hindu Kush). You have already been warned by other editors that this is not allowed. Following your recent edits on the Hindu Kush with your deliberate disruptive editing of a quote in a attempt to push your "agenda" I have personally come to inform you that you are severely risking being banned.

If the user keeps it up just go to admin noticeboard with a history of the issues. They will deal with it there.--Inayity (talk) 20:38, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Khabboos, you are invited to the Teahouse

Hi Khabboos! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Misplaced Pages and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there!

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Hindu Kush. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages 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 be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.

Did you read the edit I made at https://en.wikipedia.org/Hindu_kush#Origin_of_name? What is wrong with it? The term Hindu Kush comes from the words Hindu and Kush, so we have to either replace Indians with Hindu or put the few words that I added at the end of that particular senence. If one reads the next sentence, it clearly mentions Hindu Kush='Killer of Hindus', so why is what I add unacceptable?—Khabboos (talk) 16:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Administrators' noticeboard

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. AcidSnow (talk) 22:06, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

If you wish to participate or watch the discussion, you can find it at WP:ANI#User:Khabboos. AcidSnow accidentally started the discussion on the wrong page, so I've moved it. Nyttend (talk) 00:34, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I have replied to your message on the noticeboard. AcidSnow (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Could you please return to the discussion? AcidSnow (talk) 14:22, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

What discussion? You are edit warring with me and have reverted many of my legitimate edits. I am waiting for the mediation committee's decision - they're supposed to take a decision within a week, that is by tomorrow, 9th February, 2014.—Khabboos (talk) 17:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Why are you ignoring the discussion and trying to shift it from you inappropriate behavior to this "dispute" you have created?. Your edits were not "legitimate" and I am not the only one that has said this. They have broken many of Misplaced Pages's polices and your temple reference; which you asked for mediation for breaks 3 in one: POV, original research, and miss representation of the article. So how are they "legitimate" edits? AcidSnow (talk) 18:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

February 2014

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Hinduism in Pakistan. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages 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.

In the article on Hinduism in Pakistan, I wrote that a mob ransacked a temple at Nowshera in 2005, with this as a reference - '"Mob ransacks temple in Nowshera". http://www.dawn.com/news/145745/mob-ransacks-temple-in-nowshera. DAWN MEDIA GROUP. June 30, 2005. Retrieved 31 January 2014.', which said the same thing, but AcidSnow is continuously removing it, so please tell me what to do.—Khabboos (talk) 16:57, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I have told you several times already POV is not allowed here. You also keep under representing the links you have given. "to avenge an alleged desecration of Holy Quran by a man here", this is not a hate crime so please stop adding it you are wasting my time and others. AcidSnow (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I think we need someone to mediate.—Khabboos (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Mediate what? I have given you 3 legitimate reasons. Why are you continuing? AcidSnow (talk) 17:15, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

• When a content dispute arises you have to stop the edit war and need to take it to the talk page. If after discussion among the two sides at the talk page they are unable to resolve the dispute then there are multiple ways forward (See Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution). So if you have tried one way go to the next step of dispute resolution. Also remember even if you think you are right about something or your edit is justifiable in a content dispute, it does not allow you to continue the edit war. And both of you might also like to know that Arbitration Committee has allowed administrators to impose Discretionary Sanctions on editors if they find their actions disruptive in the India-Pakistan topic area. -- SMS 17:55, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Understood, Khabboos has filled an Mediation here. If there's anything you want to say about this then go there. AcidSnow (talk) 18:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Hinduism in Pakistan". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 9 February 2014.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for February 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sindhi people, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dravidian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Islam, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. "Wikihow" is not an acceptable source. NeilN 17:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Relax!

Hi Khabboos. It may be useful to read some basic Wiki-policies: WP:RS and WP:NPOV. Also, it may be good to inform you that the western and the Indian understanding of Hinduism may be quite divergent. Many Indian editors have a "traditional" point of view on Hinduism and its history, and may be shocked to find out how western academics "tear apart" their sacdred narrative. While westerners may be shocked by what they perceive as a "closed mindset" and a lack of critical attitude. Misplaced Pages depends on WP:RS - typically academic sources, which may not intend to hurt religious feelings, but nevertheless approach Hinduism from a scientific point of view, analyzing its history and content, questioning "eternal truths".

These different approaches lead very often to disputes, and may easily escalate. No easy solution here, except for: stay cool, stay friendly, use the talk page, and use WP:RS. and don't be afraid to really research topics, and to read serious literature. But, then, be also prepared to meet points of view which may be discomforting. Good luck, and all the best, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 19:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm always relaxed. Thanks.—Khabboos (talk) 19:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

February 2014

Hello, I'm Slazenger. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Hinduism in Pakistan, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Slazenger (Contact Me) 16:20, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Your request at WP:AE

Hello Khabboos. I suggest you withdraw your AE request, since it's not in the required format (see top of that page). Moreover, User:AcidSnow is not in the log as having been notified under WP:ARBIP. This means that action against AcidSnow could not be taken under the discretionary sanctions. I have looked at your arbitration request which is likely to be declined. You are probably better off opening up a WP:Request for comment on the article talk page to settle the content issue. Since RfCs are posted in a central list, this could be a way of bringing in more participants. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Taliban and alleged persecution of Hindus in Pakistan

Please could you supply some citations that clearly state a link between the Taliban and persecution of Hindus in Pakistan. If you cannot supply such citations, then I am inclined to remove all mention of the Taliban from the article on Hinduism in Pakistan. It seems to me that finding such citations should be more important to you than word-engineering the paragraph concerning them in that article.--Toddy1 (talk) 19:57, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Please dont demand

Could please not demand to get your way as you did here? Its very disrespectful that you would do that after others have already told you that its not allowed. AcidSnow (talk) 16:23, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Arbitration request

The request for arbitration involving you has been declined. The suggestions made by the Committee may be helpful in proceeding further. For the Arbitration Committee, Rschen7754 04:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
