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)

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

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

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
- Siddiqui 12:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Just because Dr. AQ khan and Gen. Pervez Musharraf do not support MQM does not change the fact that their socio-liguistic identity is mohajir. I don't approve of Osama bin Laden's actions and views but I am still a Muslim.
Invitation and Recommendations for writing articles on Hindi Misplaced Pages
Hindi wikipedia invites and welcomes Wikipedians to contribute for the cause of spreading knowledge and the Hindi language. This page contains guidelines for writing a wiki-article on any topic at the Hindi Misplaced Pages, with special recommendations for writing in Hindi (Note: The script/font-family for Hindi is Devanāgari; the script/font-system for English is Roman script, also, the Hindi spelling system is not completely standardized). This article is yet in English language (mostly), in order to encourage even non-native/foreign people who have learnt/are learning Hindi to contribute to the Hindi wikipedia, and native Hindi speakers who normally write in English. The examples given below are only for explanation.
Recommendations:
- Firstly for proper viewing, it is recommended to keep all links NOT-UNDERLINED. Otherwise the मात्रा below the Hindi alphabets might get partly hidden behind the underlines. For this, please go to My Preferences (मेरी पसंद) at the top of the page, then click Misc., and then choose "underline links -> Never". Save your settings. Also, do not click yes for "justify paragraphs", otherwise on some browsers, the devanagari script will appear highly distorted.
- All users are requested and encouraged to contribute articles here, especially, to create new articles on general topics. They are also encouraged to expand the existing articles, and improve upon them. A non-user can also do the same; it is recommended but not required to register yourself as a wikipedian user at the Hindi wikipedia. As far as possible, each article should be written with a Neutral Point of View (NPOV)—no nationalistic or partiality or hatred based articles are welcome. The articles should be based on facts—and appropriate references should be provided as and where needed. See the English wiki's help page for editing in general. Almost all the general wiki-features are available for editing on Hindi wiki too. Guidelines for the content matter is mostly the same as given in English wiki.
- Since the Hindi wiki is at its initial stages, users are welcome to take introduction and basic points from the English (or another) wikipedia's corresponding article and translate them for small articles. An in-page link to the English wiki's article will be deemed sufficient for references (a template might be created stating this). For longer articles, it is recommended to mention the references separately.
- Since most computer users in India and elsewhere have the standard Western-type keyboard, it is best recommended (but not necessarily required) to use the virtual (software) keyboard like the one of Hindimozhi or of ISIS (Tavultesoft Keyman)—which are freewares. These are advantageous because the contemporary Hindi-speakers in India often write messages/chat using Hindi words but written in Roman (English) script, and the layout of these keyboards is quite the same that such people use. For example, using the "normal" keyboard with this software, typing ga would give ग and ghaa would give घा.
- Create the article with its name written in Hindi (devanagari script). Always take care to include the nukta (dot below) for foreign / Urdu loanwords wherever it occurs in the standard spelling. For non-Indian names, use that spelling (for article name and other words) which is commonly encountered in Hindi newspapers, G.K.-books, Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries and Hollywood films and magazines. e.g., America-अमरीका (या अमेरिका), China-चीन, French-फ़्रांसिसी. For English acronyms/short-forms, use the initials in Roman script, and again create a full form in Hindi and redirect it to the short form. e.g. IPA (अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वनि वर्णाक्षर); UNO (संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ). Doing the opposite is also fine. But creating the article with the Hindi short form, as सं०रा०सं०, is not recommended. Also, the article proper must be written with the proper nukta, as फ़ारसी, and then, a non-nukta (mis-)spelt version फारसी should preferably be created to redirect to the correct spelling.
- Hindi wikipedia strongly recommends the users to write articles in everyday common Hindi in the खड़ीबोली dialect (Hindustani or Hindi-Urdu, i.e., बोलचाल वाली हिन्दी, which may include many loanwords from Persian and Arabic). The use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is in general neither required nor recommended. E.g., use: वजह instead of कारण, ख़ास instead of विशेष, वगैरह instead of इत्यादि, लेकिन instead of परन्तु etc. However, for technical and specialized vocabulary, the use of शुद्ध संस्कृतनिष्ठ हिन्दी is recommended and usually mandatory. Thus: upper House of Parliament—संसद का उच्च सदन, but not Urdu—मजिलिस का ऐवान-ए-बाला ; Foreign Minister—विदेशमन्त्री, but not Urdu—वज़ीर-ए-ख़ारिजा ; knowledge/science—ज्ञान/विज्ञान, but not इल्म. Use spoken Hindi's ये and वो instead of यह and वह / वे. Do not use the title of respect जी after names, it is unencyclopedic. Thus: कृष्ण / श्री कृष्ण but not कृष्ण जी. Use the आप form and its corresponding 3rd person verbal conjugation for writing about respectable persons. Thus: श्री वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मे थे. But not: वाजपेयी मध्य प्रदेश में जन्मा था. But do not use the pronoun "आप" itself in-text in biographies.
- English should be used sparingly, only when required; i.e., if the corresponding शुद्ध हिन्दी word is too "difficult and not generally encountered", or if it is a proper name of non-Indian person/place/terminology/title, or if the user is highly unsure of the proper translation. It is recommended (but not required) for English-to-Hindi translation while writing articles, the Shabdkosh online dictionary should be used. For each English word, that alternative should be used which is generally encountered in everyday spoken Hindi, and also fits well into the context. Use of intelligent guesses for newly encountered words is also allowed, and so are translations encountered in Hindi-dubbed TV documentaries, Hollywood films, Hindi-translated books, etc. e.g., दमपिशाच for en:Dementor (used in dubbed HP films).
- If used, it is recommended to use the English words within the articles using the English (Roman) alphabets rather than devanagari (or better, the devanagari transliteration should be used in the sentence, followed by the English word in Roman alphabet in parentheses). Such words should be italicized and not put in quotation marks. Preferably, there should be an in-page interwiki link (like :en:) on the word to the English wikipedia. If the word comes as an integral part of a sentence, so as not to break the continuity, the en: prefix should be hidden by writing the word again after the pipe sign (piped link). Thus, recommended:
हैरी पॉटर ने '']'' के अन्दर '']'' गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ '']'' को देखा. '']'' पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० '']'' ने काफ़ी शोध किया था.
Whence,
- हैरी पॉटर ने Pensieve के अन्दर Little Hangleton गाँव में लॉर्ड वोल्डेमॉर्ट की माँ Merope Gaunt को देखा
- Resplendent Quetzal पक्षी के ऊपर एक मेक्सिकन पादरी डा० Pablo de la Llave ने काफ़ी शोध किया था
- Always start the first 1 or 2 lines of the article giving its definition (from any standard dictionary/other wiki) or suitable introduction. Thus, recommended: ललिता सहस्रनामन हिन्दू धर्मसुधारक आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचित देवी दुर्गा को समर्पित एक पूजा-मन्त्र है, जिसे कई हिन्दू रोज़ श्रद्धा से जपते हैं । But not: ललिता सहस्रनामन मन्त्र जपने के लिये लड्डू-पेड़ा, ताम्बुल, सिन्दूर, लाल चुनरी के साथ नित्य इस मन्त्र का पाठ करें, तो जल्द ही गड़ा हुआ ख़जाना मिलेगा । Recommended: वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी (en:Aeronautical engineering) विमानों (en:Aircrafts) की अभिकल्पना, निर्माण और प्रचालन करने का विज्ञान, कला और कार्य है । (translated from Eng. Webster's New World Dictionary). But not: आजकल वैमानिक अभियान्त्रिकी के लिये देशभर में कई कॉलेज खुल गये हैं, जिनमें अग्रणी स्थान यूटोपिया स्थित लालू-यादव टेक्लिनक कॉलेज का है ।
- For names of countries, cities, places, languages, people, books, films, technical vocabulary, mythology, etc, start the article like this:
- 1.
The name in bold ('''अपोलो''')
- 2.
starting parenthesis, then English name in Roman script, in-page interwiki-linked to English wiki ff. by semicolon ((अंग्रेज़ी : ];)
- 3.
The native name(s) if applicable in the italicized native script, preferably followed either by its italicized approximate Hindi pronunciation or non-italicized
phonological transcriptionwithin / /, ff. by closed parenthesis (यूनानी : ''Aπollων अपोल्लोन''))
- 4.
the rest of the definition or introduction (प्राचीन ] (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन ] के सर्वोच्च देवता थे ।)
For country names, only the standard short form of the name is needed in the first line. If there is a common name for a difficult word in Hindustani, also mention it. Whence: अपोलो (अंग्रेज़ी : en:Apollo; यूनानी : Aπollων अपोल्लोन) प्राचीन यूनानी धर्म (ग्रीक धर्म) और प्राचीन रोमन धर्म के सर्वोच्च देवता थे । If you don't give the interwiki English/another language link (which would be deemed to be the default reference), then you MUST provide an appropriate reference.- Please leave no article without an appropriate category. See the list of created categories here; you can also make a new category (pref. in Hindi). Please leave no article without at least ONE off page (like en:) interwiki link. E.g., the user can check the article name (say Apollo) on the finally redirected English page and append to the Hindi article (
])
). These interlanguage links will help a bot to update all interwiki links for that article in all wikipedias. The category and the aforementioned link should be typed at the end of the article. If the article is very small, mention it as a stub/substub.- Use of templates is welcome. See the list of templates here. If creating a template, name it pref. in Hindi.
- Use पूर्णविराम ( । ) instead of a period (.) for ending statements. The पूर्णविराम, semicolon, colon and dash (but not comma) must come after one space after the word to prevent ambiguity. Use the international form of the Hindu-Arabic numerals (1,2,3 instead of १,२,३), as used by the Constitution and the Government of India (even for Hindi). There is no need to use the हलन्त at the end of Sanskrit words wherever it occurs. Hence, prefer: संसद over संसद्; अथर्वन over अथर्वन्. Use the proper quotation marks “” from the Insert toolbox, not "". Write dates as 2 मई 2006 (ईसवी or ईसापूर्व). Write time as 3:45 pm. Separate common suffix-words like शास्त्र, विज्ञान, ज्ञान with a hyphen. Thus: रसायन-शास्त्र. For most others, leave both the words of the noun-cluster free. Combine them into one word only if it is very common to do so. Thus: सामवेद.
- The use of ज़ for the en:voiced alveolar fricative (/z/, as in zoo, rose) is fundamentally wrong. Its nearest counterpart is the en:voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ (as in sea), and not Hindi ज (en:voiced palatal plosive). Hence, it is suggested and recommended that for the sound /z/, whether it comes in English (etc.) spellings (z) for while pronunciation otherwise, should be transcribed as स़ (स with a dot below, available in the Insert toolbox). Hence: Reason रीस़न, not रीज़न ; Roses रोस़ेस़, not रोज़ेज़. But common Hindi words borrowed from Persian/Arabic (so-called Urdu words) are allowed to continue with ज़ spelling. Thus: ज़रा, नज़र, तर्ज़. The en:voiced postalveolar fricative (/ʒ/ as in treasure), inexistent in Hindi, can similarly be transcribed with श़. Thus: treasure ट्रॅश़र. The nukta (dot) available in the Insert toolbox can be combined with various consonants to suggest a more exact phonetic devanagari rendering of foreign sounds. E.g., since phonetically, English Think and this are not equal to थिंक and दिस, a better transcription could be थ़िंक and द़िस. Please take care of the dot below in so-called Urdu words, otherwise the Hindi spelling is deemed incorrect.
- For the following English vowels met, mate, mat, transcribe as मॅट (short vowel), मेट (not मेइट), मैट (not मॅट, as popular in Marathi). However in contemporary Hindi and here, it is acceptable to use ए instead of ऍ. Thus: अमेरिका is more popular than अमॅरिका. For cot, coat, caught, transcribe as कॉट, कोट, कॉट (not कौट). Transcribe English /t/ and /d/ as ट and ड.
- Use half-न before त, थ, द, ध, न, instead of anuswaar अं. Use half-म before प, फ, ब, भ, म. Use the anuswaar before all the rest of the consonants (not half-ङ, ञ, ण). If the मात्रा is not above the alphabet, use chandra-bindu, but only for nasalization. Thus: अन्दर, not अंदर ; अन्त, not अंत ; हिन्दी, not हिंदी ; सम्भव, not संभव ; पंचमी, not पञ्चमी ; अंडा, not अण्डा ; कंठ, not कण्ठ ; लैंड, not लैण्ड ; आँख, not आंख. However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here; the prec. are just recommendations.
- When proceded by another vowel, use the pure vowels instead of य (unless the य is clearly articulated while pronouncing). Thus : जाएँ, not जायें (not जावें) ; आएगा, not आयेगा . However, both forms are acceptable in contemporary Hindi as well as here.
- Please pay careful attention to the masculine/feminine gender (and singular/plural) in adjectives and verbs, else the sentence becomes ungrammatical.
For more information/suggestions/criticisms, please contact any one of the administrators of Hindi wiki here, preferably en:User:Magicalsaumy.
