Desert golf? Desert golf? Why not add "Paint drying" to your to-do list? <g> Hope you are ok after the incident last year. - Sitush ( talk) 21:47, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
How does that matters that the reference is from the own website of Dera Sacha Sauda, when the referenced content also contains the photographs in support to the content, eg, the scan copy of any certificate from Gunniese Book of World Records is published on the own website of the organization, does that lowers down the importance of the certificate? Even after my numerous explanations that the controversies which has been proved false in the Court, and has been proved to be a plot to defame the organization also the content from some unreliable source should not be welcomed, also you are talking about neutral content, does only putting good things means someone is putting non-neutral content? if someone is putting some negative content, eg the cases that are now proved false is again and again welcomed by the volunteers, that is also a non-neutral approach, please help on this else wait for a legal notice from the organization as per the link given below. http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Fed/socialmedia-updates/Delete-anti-religious-posts-Court-to-networking-sites/Article1-786483.aspx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajdba ( talk • contribs) 10:07, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Greetings and Thanks for ur feedback. Regarding Varna in lede i cant agree with u as i have seen so many articles with mention of varna in lede. moreover, i have not introduced varna topic in lede but just elaborated preexisting content with balanced info and accurate ref. regarding tortoise totem in etymology its not my speculation i just completed existing sentence from the same ref which was already there. Plz refrain from straightaway deleting well-referenced content just like that. plz use appropriate tags if need be. Jaychandra ( talk) 17:42, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Shia Islam. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Irānshahr ( talk) 15:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
If you question one of the [relatively small] changes I made to the article on Shia Islam you are held to articulate your questioning of it on the talk page and engage in dialogue with me on the matter. You will find me reasonable and cooperative in my approach. You will not achieve anything, however, by blanket reverting every contribution I have made to the article (this is considered insulting and has no logical justification). Again, if you have an opinion on something you are asked to share that opinion with me and engage in due dialogue until we come to an agreement on the matter.

Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as Shia Islam. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have not given a rationale for reverting all of my edit s and this seems to be nothing other than harrassment and/or lazy editing. Your approach is not working in your interest. Irānshahr ( talk) 17:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I clicked the wrong Twinkle button. Talking of "extremely poor taste", it is in extremely poor taste to revert all (100%) of a user's contributions because you take question to 10% of them. This is usually done by lazy editors, because it is easier to click 'undo' or 'revert' than to remove the specific part they have a problem with. However, this inevitably backfires on you, because through saving 20 or 30 seconds performing the revert, you lose 20 or 30 minutes in subsequent argument. I have voluntarily removed the edit which states that Shia Islam is the "second largest and the oldest denomination". I will not re-insert that edit unless it is accompanied by a reliable reference. I have done this a gesture of goodwill to accomodate your fears. Irānshahr ( talk) 18:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I strongly support your suggestion here. I have seen your Category:Manuals and gazetteers of India too, but, it is not my subject at all.

You've just reverted the removal of YSR from Reddy, noting that it was unexplained. At List of Reddys, the IP did leave an edit summary when removing the person, and it is reasonable: the YSR article clearly sources the guy as being a Christian and has no support for him having ever accepted being of the Reddy caste. In view of his recent death and his surviving family, I reckon that keeping his name in there is tantamount to a BLP vio. - Sitush ( talk) 05:29, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I am agree with your statement then please remove this "The movement is known as Ahle Sunnat to its followers" line from barelvi section because there is already mentioned that the movement is under sunni islam so no need to repeat that it known as Ahl e Sunnat again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqibsandhu ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Bhai go and read the artical that's also mentioned in Introduction of Barelvi along the Etymology section(either remove that from there or allow me to add Ahl-e-Sunnat in Deobandi Article) plus my Source was the official website of Darul Uloom Deoband so wasn't that enough reputable source ? Plus about Barelvis You are right they call and consider themselves "Sunni" and rest all Wahabi/Deobandi but Deobandi call themselves Muslim. I am also a student of Deobandi Madrissa but whenever people ask me i told them that i am Hanfi/Muslim not Deobandi. plus tell me how to edit the Box of deobandi movement on the right side of page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqibsandhu ( talk • contribs) 18:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
They are not very few but mostly people i must say don't understand the term Sunni due to barelvi majority propaganda that they think and believe that Barelvi are only Sunnis in Pak/India rest all are Wahabi/Deobandi. and this was my point of view to add Ahl e Sunna with sunni because general public consider Deobandi a new sect and out of Ahle sunna due to majority barelvi propogenda they confuse them with Wahabis that Deobandi and Wahabi are same thing.
OK i will also add a line same like that they movement is know as Ahl e sunna to its followers. but read the full article, many times they are replacing the word Barelvi with sunni there like
and read they are using word sufi too. so can i also replace the word sufi/and sunni with deobandi some times in article ?
Ok about sourcing i got your point, let me find the some other sources with sense of neutrality Thanks :)
Dear MatthewVanitas, I have no particular axe to grind. I never added the names to the article. They have "always" been there. It's interesting that both you and I have never taken exception to the inclusion of the names throughout all of our recent edits. It's also unusual for someone to remove a large and apparently carefully compiled section without first flagging up an issue via templates. But, as I said, I don't mind either way. And as you said, there should be sources. Thanks for chipping in. I watch this page because it occasionally becomes home to some very strident inter-sectarian squabbles. I certainly don't want to fuel one. Best wishes. GorgeCustersSabre ( talk) 21:16, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Matthew, I hope you are well. Sorry to ask, but I wonder if you could please cast your eyes over the article Central Mosque Wembley. I have absolutely no issue with this mosque, and actually have no knowledge of it whatsoever outside of Wikipedia, but I feel like I am fighting a losing battle in my attempt to keep it free of trivia and subjectivity. One user (Abir1998) seems intent on stuffing the article full of building / construction information and excessive descriptions of its facilities. I'll be grateful if you could take a look at both the page and the user’s editing and perhaps help me think of ways of keeping the page encyclopedic (tight, neutral, accurate). I have tried giving him advice on his talk page. Thank you. Again, I'm sorry to ask. Best wishes. GorgeCustersSabre ( talk) 19:44, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite. I put my name to the list, though I must confess I am not an expert on the field. I do movies, so I knew about some of the Ainu documentaries. One thing about the filmography: While a list of documentary portrayals is important, I think many would also be interested in a list of fiction films in which Ainu appear. That could be a separate page, or the filmography page could have two sections, one for documentaries and one for fiction films (the lede would have to be rewritten, however). Let me know what you think. I'll put this question on the task force talk page just in case any others have opinions. Michitaro ( talk) 20:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Greetings and Thanks for ur feedback. Regarding Varna in lede i cant agree with u as i have seen so many articles with mention of varna in lede. moreover, i have not introduced varna topic in lede but just elaborated preexisting content with balanced info and accurate ref. regarding tortoise totem in etymology its not my speculation i just completed existing sentence from the same ref which was already there. Plz refrain from straightaway deleting well-referenced content just like that. plz use appropriate tags if need be. Jaychandra ( talk) 17:42, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Yusufzai (Pashtun tribe), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Seraiki ( 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Shia Islam. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Irānshahr ( talk) 15:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
If you question one of the [relatively small] changes I made to the article on Shia Islam you are held to articulate your questioning of it on the talk page and engage in dialogue with me on the matter. You will find me reasonable and cooperative in my approach. You will not achieve anything, however, by blanket reverting every contribution I have made to the article (this is considered insulting and has no logical justification). Again, if you have an opinion on something you are asked to share that opinion with me and engage in due dialogue until we come to an agreement on the matter.

Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as Shia Islam. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have not given a rationale for reverting all of my edit s and this seems to be nothing other than harrassment and/or lazy editing. Your approach is not working in your interest. Irānshahr ( talk) 17:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I clicked the wrong Twinkle button. Talking of "extremely poor taste", it is in extremely poor taste to revert all (100%) of a user's contributions because you take question to 10% of them. This is usually done by lazy editors, because it is easier to click 'undo' or 'revert' than to remove the specific part they have a problem with. However, this inevitably backfires on you, because through saving 20 or 30 seconds performing the revert, you lose 20 or 30 minutes in subsequent argument. I have voluntarily removed the edit which states that Shia Islam is the "second largest and the oldest denomination". I will not re-insert that edit unless it is accompanied by a reliable reference. I have done this a gesture of goodwill to accomodate your fears. Irānshahr ( talk) 18:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I strongly support your suggestion here. I have seen your Category:Manuals and gazetteers of India too, but, it is not my subject at all.

You've just reverted the removal of YSR from Reddy, noting that it was unexplained. At List of Reddys, the IP did leave an edit summary when removing the person, and it is reasonable: the YSR article clearly sources the guy as being a Christian and has no support for him having ever accepted being of the Reddy caste. In view of his recent death and his surviving family, I reckon that keeping his name in there is tantamount to a BLP vio. - Sitush ( talk) 05:29, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I am agree with your statement then please remove this "The movement is known as Ahle Sunnat to its followers" line from barelvi section because there is already mentioned that the movement is under sunni islam so no need to repeat that it known as Ahl e Sunnat again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqibsandhu ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Bhai go and read the artical that's also mentioned in Introduction of Barelvi along the Etymology section(either remove that from there or allow me to add Ahl-e-Sunnat in Deobandi Article) plus my Source was the official website of Darul Uloom Deoband so wasn't that enough reputable source ? Plus about Barelvis You are right they call and consider themselves "Sunni" and rest all Wahabi/Deobandi but Deobandi call themselves Muslim. I am also a student of Deobandi Madrissa but whenever people ask me i told them that i am Hanfi/Muslim not Deobandi. plus tell me how to edit the Box of deobandi movement on the right side of page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saqibsandhu ( talk • contribs) 18:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
They are not very few but mostly people i must say don't understand the term Sunni due to barelvi majority propaganda that they think and believe that Barelvi are only Sunnis in Pak/India rest all are Wahabi/Deobandi. and this was my point of view to add Ahl e Sunna with sunni because general public consider Deobandi a new sect and out of Ahle sunna due to majority barelvi propogenda they confuse them with Wahabis that Deobandi and Wahabi are same thing.
OK i will also add a line same like that they movement is know as Ahl e sunna to its followers. but read the full article, many times they are replacing the word Barelvi with sunni there like
and read they are using word sufi too. so can i also replace the word sufi/and sunni with deobandi some times in article ?
Ok about sourcing i got your point, let me find the some other sources with sense of neutrality Thanks :)
Dear MatthewVanitas, I have no particular axe to grind. I never added the names to the article. They have "always" been there. It's interesting that both you and I have never taken exception to the inclusion of the names throughout all of our recent edits. It's also unusual for someone to remove a large and apparently carefully compiled section without first flagging up an issue via templates. But, as I said, I don't mind either way. And as you said, there should be sources. Thanks for chipping in. I watch this page because it occasionally becomes home to some very strident inter-sectarian squabbles. I certainly don't want to fuel one. Best wishes. GorgeCustersSabre ( talk) 21:16, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Dear Matthew, I hope you are well. Sorry to ask, but I wonder if you could please cast your eyes over the article Central Mosque Wembley. I have absolutely no issue with this mosque, and actually have no knowledge of it whatsoever outside of Wikipedia, but I feel like I am fighting a losing battle in my attempt to keep it free of trivia and subjectivity. One user (Abir1998) seems intent on stuffing the article full of building / construction information and excessive descriptions of its facilities. I'll be grateful if you could take a look at both the page and the user’s editing and perhaps help me think of ways of keeping the page encyclopedic (tight, neutral, accurate). I have tried giving him advice on his talk page. Thank you. Again, I'm sorry to ask. Best wishes. GorgeCustersSabre ( talk) 19:44, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite. I put my name to the list, though I must confess I am not an expert on the field. I do movies, so I knew about some of the Ainu documentaries. One thing about the filmography: While a list of documentary portrayals is important, I think many would also be interested in a list of fiction films in which Ainu appear. That could be a separate page, or the filmography page could have two sections, one for documentaries and one for fiction films (the lede would have to be rewritten, however). Let me know what you think. I'll put this question on the task force talk page just in case any others have opinions. Michitaro ( talk) 20:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
