Hi, I've just noted your revert to 173.21.26.160's edit to nystagmus. A quick Google tuned up the reference http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA401094/Dealing-With-Dancing-Eyes.html which starts with the line 'Nystagmus, sometimes called "dancing eyes, ..."'. It is written by a Harvard educated US doctor so in the absence of any argument I will assume it is reliable.

Hi
You removed a post from Talk:List of best-selling albums, with this edit: [2]. Although the post was badly formatted, it was, in fact, a perfectly valid question, as you will see from the responses made and actions taken by another editor after I replaced the post, and it has resulted in improvements to the list article.
I wasn't actually going to leave you a note about my replacement, but then I noticed the box on your talk page saying "If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please click here and let me know", which I think is an admirable thing to ask for.
Reverting vandalism can be a thankless task, and it's obvious you do great work in that area, you have my thanks for that. Without editors such as yourself contributing their time in this area wikipedia would soon deteriorate into an unreliable mess - so keep up the good work. Thanks.

Hi Faizan, I deleted the section of Pakistan Army Headhunting article from the page 'Headhunting' because that seems to be a one sided propagated story.
I believe you will consider the deletion of that section until we get the valid international information sources than a rival journalism among these two countries, which bring more dramatic hatred between the traditional rivals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mocineli ( talk • contribs) 13:05, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Faizan,
I have recently edited the Taylor series of several variables. I have added equivalent expansion which I believe can improve the understanding.
As it was my first edit on Wikipedia, I have saved it couple of times before I found that I can preview the changes without saving. Due to that some of my edits were on the half way to the complete one.
Now my final edit looks to be there as I thought it, even after you mention you undid some of the changes I did.

Sorry to post this in a public domain .I was queried about a page I edited.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karocolens_tuberculatus#Status
This page is wrong.
Karocolens tuberculatus is in the title, which is a totally different species to the one described in the text: Hadramphus tuberculatus
They are not synonyms and one species is extinct and the other is not so its very important that they are not confused!

In the article Muhammad in Islam, there are many 4th level headings (Orphanhood: a divine plan, for example) which are making the content list very long. It would be better if we keep is short, showing only the second and third headings. The Jesus article similarly have so many 4th level headings (====xxx====) which are not shown in the content list.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

While a speedy keep close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was obviously the right outcome, and I don't want to reopen it, I don't think you should have been the one to close it. The reason is that before closing it you expressed a keep opinion within the AfD. It is not allowed to contribute to an AfD and then close it, even for admins.

I originally completely declined the article as too short and pass the 5 day deadline, but I do see no problem with accepting it if the article is worked on within the next few days.

Hello Faizan. I'm slightly puzzled by your edit of
Punjab region on 4 July "Commenting out use(s) of file "File:Dialects Of Punjabi.jpg": Low resolution, and Low standard image. Should not be used at such a large scale. Please get it improved for future inclusion."
The resolution (682 × 624 pixels) seems adequate. It's better than the resolution on several of the maps that I've created for Wikipedia, and none of those have been questioned.
The image lettering is quite legible. I'm not qualified to say whether the information shown is correct, but the originator,
User:Khalid Mahmood has been an editor for several years and has made a great number of contibutions. I hesitate to "improve" his work, but may try if you let me know exactly what you consider needs doing. I will watch here.

I would closely compare it to Airbnb, and so I modeled the page after theirs. Please re-visit and let me know if this helps clear the problem. Mozan93 ( talk) 08:31, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Michelle
Hi Faizan, I deleted the section of Pakistan Army Headhunting article from the page 'Headhunting' because that seems to be a one sided propagated story.
I believe you will consider the deletion of that section until we get the valid international information sources than a rival journalism among these two countries, which bring more dramatic hatred between the traditional rivals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mocineli ( talk • contribs) 13:05, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
Dear Faizan, Thank you for your , very swift, comment about my change to the Swinton Circle page. I am the Hon Treasurer of the Swinton Circle. So, I believe that I am correct to make changes. It will help me if I may know who you are, and your connection to the Swinton Circle, please. 94.197.161.42 ( talk) 13:17, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

![]() | On 25 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mirza Adeeb, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Mirza Adeeb was a prominent modern Pakistani Urdu playwright whose later work focuses on social problems and daily life? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mirza Adeeb. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Faizan. Assalamu alaykum. I would be very grateful if you take a look at the Nouman Ali Khan page. I can't see any notability, but would like other editors' opinions. My regards, George Custer's Sabre ( talk) 03:29, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
WP:Operation Enduring Encyclopedia redirects to Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit, not WP:Cleaning up vandalism. I've reverted again because I don't think you realised this, if there's something else I'm not getting please let me know. Basalisk inspect damage⁄ berate 12:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Faizan,
I have recently edited the Taylor series of several variables. I have added equivalent expansion which I believe can improve the understanding.
As it was my first edit on Wikipedia, I have saved it couple of times before I found that I can preview the changes without saving. Due to that some of my edits were on the half way to the complete one.
Now my final edit looks to be there as I thought it, even after you mention you undid some of the changes I did.

Thanks Faizan, I will have a look on the links and probably create an account. Its nice getting in touch with people standing behind Wikipedia. Thanks again for the links and introduction. Tomas 144.173.38.216 ( talk) 14:53, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to post this in a public domain .I was queried about a page I edited.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karocolens_tuberculatus#Status
This page is wrong.
Karocolens tuberculatus is in the title, which is a totally different species to the one described in the text: Hadramphus tuberculatus
They are not synonyms and one species is extinct and the other is not so its very important that they are not confused!

Hi Faizan you reverted my edit today. It appears from the photo that Weizmann is wearing a Western style suit, so it is only the headdress which is 'Arab'. Hence the reason for the change. Clivemacd ( talk) 14:42, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks faizan . Well im not a regular editor and dont know how much i can contribute, but last few days iv been reading a lot of wiki. I felt i can add valuable information which is correct and well referenced so just did.
Yes i think i should create and account and start contributing more, as im liking it. Thanks once again. Btw hope my current contribution is good and meets wiki standards. Ill be happy to omit otherwise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.201.55.74 ( talk) 07:33, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Faizan I got the info from transfermarkt.co.uk I believe that they get their data from the contracts that the managers sign. I have found that they are never wrong. I have also sent an email to FC Dallas to clarify whether it is 1949 or 1951 and am waiting for a reply but as I have said, I have never found transfermarkt to be wrong. Mike

Howdy Friend! I want to inform you that the above mentioned website isn't a reliable source as it is believed to rely on Wikipedia itself ...You will hardly find it on Wikipedia as a reference...
You can search for alternate sources to support your contributions..

Here are some links that you may find useful:
You may find some stuff that you need to cite in the article from these sources... If you need to cite some stuff and cant find a ref, feel free to contact..
Besides, there are a large number of dead links in the article which either need to be replaced/repaired or added with a link rot template .. -- Maxx786 ( talk) 17:15, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Please stop placing a deletion request on each of the stubs being created. These individuals meet the notability requirements as specified in WP:Politician. The discussions regarding this are long and have all come to the same conclusion, these are valid starting points for these articles. Continued requests will be considered harassment. The Ukulele Guy - Aggie80 ( talk) 18:04, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
In the article Muhammad in Islam, there are many 4th level headings (Orphanhood: a divine plan, for example) which are making the content list very long. It would be better if we keep is short, showing only the second and third headings. The Jesus article similarly have so many 4th level headings (====xxx====) which are not shown in the content list. The same thing I like to use here but unable to do so. Do you know how to do that?-- Ascetic Rosé 06:51, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
I just wanted to know if you know Arabic? Often I get cases where our source is in Arabic, and I dont know any Arabic speaking users yet. So do you speak the language? If so I'll send a request or two your way every now and then :)

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.

While a speedy keep close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri was obviously the right outcome, and I don't want to reopen it, I don't think you should have been the one to close it. The reason is that before closing it you expressed a keep opinion within the AfD. It is not allowed to contribute to an AfD and then close it, even for admins. Please be more careful next time. — David Eppstein ( talk) 18:13, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

I originally completely declined the article as too short and pass the 5 day deadline, but I do see no problem with accepting it if the article is worked on within the next few days. With the article being so short anyway, it should be fine. You were probably thinking of that anyway. SL93 ( talk) 18:18, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Dear Faizan, I hope you are well. I'll be very grateful if you can please help me keep the Then Jerico page neutral and referenced.

Hello Faizan. I'm slightly puzzled by your edit of
Punjab region on 4 July "Commenting out use(s) of file "File:Dialects Of Punjabi.jpg": Low resolution, and Low standard image. Should not be used at such a large scale. Please get it improved for future inclusion."
The resolution (682 × 624 pixels) seems adequate. It's better than the resolution on several of the maps that I've created for Wikipedia, and none of those have been questioned.
The image lettering is quite legible. I'm not qualified to say whether the information shown is correct, but the originator,
User:Khalid Mahmood has been an editor for several years and has made a great number of contibutions. I hesitate to "improve" his work, but may try if you let me know exactly what you consider needs doing. I will watch here.

I look forward to seeing your improved version. Be careful. A previous attempt at improvement raised a storm of protest and the attempt was nominated for deletion. If you change the content, you will need to cite a verifiable source that supports your changes, for example this. Meanwhile I have restored the original version until the improvement is available.
