Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page
Mustafa Kamal (mayor) has been reverted.
Your edit
here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our
external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s):
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/Karachi-Pakistan/Mayor-Syed-Mustafa-Kamal/83367362573?ref=ts (matching the
regex rule \bfacebook\.com).
If you were trying to insert an
external link that does comply with our
policies and
guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to
undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's
external links guideline for more information, and consult my
list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see
my FAQ page. Thanks! --

Your edit here restored content that was copied from [1]. Wikipedia's copyright policy takes precedent over any other policy on the site, including NPOV, due to its legal ramifications. Do not restore the copyrighted text again or you will be blocked. Consider this your only warning. MER-C 07:03, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
For the sake of civility, please do not threaten me when you have an issue. There was in fact 2 paragraphs under the section Aryan Period that were directly lifted from kurdistanica.com. I can understand how this is tantamount to a copyright issue. I have thus removed them. However, the other paragraphs are not from kurdistanica. Now if the previous version is restored, it is not a copyright issue. But it will become an NPOV issue as that particular section is a highly slanted one
I understand your reasons for protecting wikipedia from legal reprocussions. I also appreciate them, by the way. How do I verify the legality of the information? More importantly, how do you determine whether the wikipedia article copied the weblink or vice versa?
Also, don't you think an article can be improved gradually by removing line by line, or paragraph by paragraph rather than deleting the entire article? Wikipedia is getting better and more reliable over time, I believe in being patient and methodical in approach MAKootage ( talk) 08:05, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
So, I've been hunting for the copyrighted stuff. Unlike the kurdistanica episode, some of the links you provided ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/13455764/The-People-and-the-Land-of-Sindh) are dead links. Please reply
Personal attacks are against Wikipedia's policies. I am an uninvolved administrator cleaning up copyright problems, and I do not appreciate your incivil assumption of bad faith in this edit summary: "The previous editor, Moonriddengirl deleted swathes of historcial information in favor of his/her own personal bias." Please try to conduct yourself appropriately with other contributors and do not attribute actions to personal bias without strong and carefully detailed evidence.
The question of your restoration of copyright violation to Wikipedia has already been addressed. As for your assistance here, it is appreciated, but you seem to be operating under a misunderstanding of our policies when you write, "insufficient evidence to assert copyright infringement." The contributor's past edits are alone sufficient evidence to presume copyright infringement in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright violations: "If contributors have been shown to have a history of extensive copyright violation, it may be assumed without further evidence that all of their major contributions are copyright violations, and they may be removed indiscriminately." It is a courtesy to other contributors and to the project that we take the time to try to clear material rather than simply deleting everything he has added to the project. If we cannot check content and copying seems likely, we must assume that the material is unusable. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
My apologies, Moonriddengirl. Please try and understand my initial, albeit misplaced, outrage at your revert. The article on Sindhis is the subject of edit warring. The version you restored notoriously flouts NPOV policy. It asserts some unusual points of view and supplies almost no citations.
In addition, the website you directed me to (kurdistanica) contained a only 2 paragraphs that were lifted into the Sindhi article. Only when I spoke to another admin (MER-C), did I come to know that there were other sources that had been photocopied into the article. Therefore, it appears I misunderstood your reasons for the revert.
In response, I constructed paragraphs using my own knowledge and submitted them to the article.
I hope there are no hard feelings. MAKootage ( talk) 06:36, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
