Hi. Nice photos of Diran. Can I suggest that you upload your photos to Commons instead of here? In that way, your photos can be easily re-used by the other language wikis without individually uploading them to each language site. You use the same image syntax when referring to them. If the server cannot find the image locally, it automatically searches Commons for them. If you have any questions, let me know. RedWolf 08:16, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello Waqas. Thank you for supporting my Rfa! :) I will try my best to be a good administrator. Please ask me if you need any help. Salam -- a.n.o.n.y.m t 17:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC) |
Thanks for uploading Image:Airblue P1050431.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are
open content,
public domain, and
fair use. Find the appropriate template in
Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 04:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Sallam & Hi Waqas,
I recently saw you have added new images to your website, may i suggest you upload the following ones to the Wikipedia Commons database under the Pakistan Transport Section..
At the moment there are no photos of ISB, so i suggest uploading these ones; http://airport.fotopic.net/p27053549.html http://airport.fotopic.net/p27054645.html http://airport.fotopic.net/p27054644.html

Also, the photos you have already uploaded to the Wikipedia Database should also be placed in the Pakistan Commons database, that way more Wikipedia Users will be able to use and see them..

Many Thanks Fast track 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi,
We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.
Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.
Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.
If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...
Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 22:30, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I created this list with help of many other contributors. I usually create a new page from that list every other day. Hopefully all airports on this list will have their pages at the end of this months.

Hi RE http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Northern_Areas%2C_Pakistan&action=history, why not center an image? The image is very small and doesn't look good in the current resolution. (The link was a mistake) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waqas.usman ( talk • contribs)
I am creating airport stubs and there may be more info than is required to be a stub. It may be referred as copy and paste and the false info sounds little harsh and infers dishonesty. I planned to go to back and clean these airport stub pages once all of them have been created. I am creating one per day on average. I will remove more info from the stub. The next on the list is Air Bases of Pakistan Air Force. May be we can work to clean that page.
Siddiqui 04:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
hi usman, in Wikipedia they are lowercae i.e. "List of something in Foocountry" not "List of Something in Foocountry". Furthermore, don't copy pages to new names, because by doing so you break the availability of the edit history. I reverted you copy-paste move. best regards Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Waqas--thanks for creating the Passu Sar page and finding the nice picture. However, as I noted at Talk:Passu Sar, it's really a picture of the nearby peak Shispare (with Ultar Sar in the foreground). I'd like to move it to the Shispare page (which needs a picture anyway) and recaption it, but if I do that I would also like to tell the originator of the picture that I have done that. I thought you might prefer to tell him, since you contacted him already. Or I can do it, it's no problem---I just didn't want to step on any toes. Let me know.
Also, most references I have for the peak use only one "s", i.e. "Pasu Sar". These references are various reasonably authoritative maps, plus climbing literature such as the American Alpine Journal. If you have a better source that gives "Passu", let me know; otherwise it might be best to switch it back to "Pasu". -- Spireguy 21:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Waqas---thanks for moving the picture. I added a more explicit caption. -- Spireguy 16:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Please see the discussion for why I oppose this merger. Green Giant 22:16, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for commenting on سلام! You asked how best to help. I think it is best to add some translation information to the page together with a deletion tag if you believe the result to be not worthy of inclusion. The admin reviewing the deletion request (usually either through a speedy deletion template ( WP:CSD) or through a proposed deletion ( WP:PROD)) can then make a more informed decision on whether or not to delete the article. Thank you, Kusma (討論) 03:45, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Excellent work, the whole area needs a thorough overhaul. I think the best place for the PTDC article whould be in Category:Tourism in Pakistan. As for the Category:Forts in Pakistan I would suggest it should go to Category:History of Pakistan but keep it in Category:Pakistani architecture as well because the forts have historical and architectural importance. I also agree with the new better-named categories for NA regions etc. Green Giant 23:07, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Honestly speaking, Northern Area categories are in bad state. There is a lot of work needs to be done. I found Northern Areas category deleted. Can you tell me when and why it was deleted. -- Spasage 05:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was creating new pages for highest peaks of Pakistan and I saw this image you updloaded, can you please provdie the coordinates of these mountains? Please reply on my talk page, Thanks. Waqas.usman 15:57, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Waqas---regarding the Baltoro Glacier article, here is what I wrote on that Talk page: I notice that the reference to the "Concordia Region" has been put back in. To my knowledge, Concordia only refers to the the point of confluence of the Baltoro and Godwin Austen Glaciers. (Sources: multiple maps of the region, climbing literature such as American Alpine Journal.) It is not the name of a region. That's why I changed the reference in the first place, and why I changed the Concordia, Pakistan article as well. So I would suggest reverting back to the version which describes Concordia just as the confluence, not a region. If there are definitive sources to the contrary, please comment; otherwise I'll revert or re-edit this eventually. I don't want to step on any toes, but I do want it to be correct. -- Spireguy 14:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You recently disambiguated Snow Dome but you copied/pasted the original text to create Snow Dome (Canada) rather than doing a page move which is the standard approach. By using the copy/paste, we have "lost" (technically not) the correct page history for Snow Dome (Canada), which was the original text of Snow Dome. You also did not enter a comment for the edit summary when you created the article, which adds to the history confusion. I don't have time at the moment, but I will probably delete your creation of Snow Dome (Canada) and do the page move so the correct page history can be preserved. RedWolf 19:33, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
You are doing work by adding details and clarifying info in many pages. I just created many stub pages. I do plan to go nback and info in those pages. Instead of making comments it would advisable to concentrate on one's work.
Siddiqui 22:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading some photos, would love to see more..
To answer your query, i would prefer if you found the category in the Pakistan Commons section http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pakistan that suits your image and place the category in the message box when you upload your image.
For example, lets say your uploading an image of a PIA Boeing 747, in the Pakistan commons category there is a sub category called (Category:Transportation in Pakistan) put this into your message box with and brackets. Once the image had uploaded the image will automatically be placed in the transportation of pakistan category with the other images there. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Transportation_in_Pakistan .I have done some for you the ISB airport ones.
