Hi Mar4d. Thanks heaps for the warm welcome. I don't think I will be contributing much to Pakistani topics but do intend to be very, very active on Indian, Punjabi and Khalistani topics. I look forward to working with you. Right now I am busy with the Radcliffe Line article .It would be a pleasure to have your input there! Dilpa kaur ( talk) 13:27, 26 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Please don't edit Wikipedia from your mobile if it won't work properly

In view of several complaints on this page, and this comment of yours from a month ago, it's apparent that you're having long-term problems with editing from your mobile phone. When you tried three times to get this [3] [4] [5] right, it ended with another user having to come in and fix a major removal of sourced content, which you had apparently failed to diagnose even though it started in the middle of a footnote — compare the section just above. [6] Please don't use your mobile for editing Wikipedia as long as it keeps going "haywire" on you. Don't you have any way of getting it fixed, or any other way of editing? I'm sorry you're having these problems, it must be very frustrating, but if your mobile doesn't even allow you to check your work, the problems aren't personal to you, but are affecting articles and other editors.

The harassment

Hi Dilpa, I just ran into your ANI complaint. I am sorry that you have been treated in this way. You have my genuine sympathies.

I have always found your posts thoughtful, even if I don't always agree with them. If you continue the same way, you have nothing to worry about. My best wishes. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 07:00, 20 July 2018 (UTC) reply

You removed quotations which were given as such within references, or as straight quotes with clear quotation marks. Take a look again at the warning you psted at User talk:Kautilya3#Copyvio, first dot:

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation.

That's exactly the kind of quote you removed. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 11:42, 29 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Hello Dilpa kaur. Using properly attributed quotations is not a violation of the copyright policy. It's possible use of quotations can become excessive, which would be a violation of our non-free content guideline. Quotations are often used in the citations of articles about controversial topics. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 14:23, 29 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Help needed for an article on Kashmiri Sikhs

There is very little information on Wikipedia related to Kashmiri Sikhs. While there are pages for Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Hindus, there isn't a page for Kashmiri Sikhs. Do you think there are enough sources online for such a page and could you help direct me to some of them. DiplomatTesterMan ( talk) 13:24, 30 December 2018 (UTC) reply

I do have some sources but most of those would be WP:PRIMARY. Unfortunately not much detailed work has been done on Punjab and Kashmir anthropology since British rule. The works during the British era are too old to cite on Wikipedia. I will be at the Central Library in Patiala next week and will search for good quality secondary sources there for you. Dilpa kaur ( talk) 08:04, 1 January 2019 (UTC) reply
"The works during the British era are too old to cite on Wikipedia". Absolutely not!!! :D Such works are so valuable and absolutely need to be cited!... I will be updating content related to Kashmiri Sikhs soon hopefully, found a couple of sources, but will merge it into already present articles, since I am still not sure if there is enough for a stand-a-alone article. Time will tell. Regards. DiplomatTesterMan ( talk) 05:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC) reply
It is out of my hands. Primary sources need to be handled with extreme care and it will be almost impossible to construct articles based on them. I have also now put in the comparative table you wanted. Its in my sandbox. Dilpa kaur ( talk) 10:46, 14 January 2019 (UTC) reply
Thank you for taking out the time to make the table. (Very very few editors make the effort to do things like this) Do you yourself see any problems with your changes after making the table, problems related to the difference in wordings between the old text and the new text, as compared to the source text? Do you think I need to comment on this myself, would you want me to comment, or should we let the matter rest now? Regards. DiplomatTesterMan ( talk) 17:59, 30 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Would you mind giving this article a glance through Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir please.

I see you have been doing a lot of copyvio edits and other sorting out on Kashmir related articles on my watchlist. Could you give this one a glance through too Women's rights in Jammu and Kashmir please. In the past few days it has been sorted out a lot compared to before but still needs a looooot of work. When you have time. (The article was actually created as someone's educational assignment in 2017, as mentioned on the talk page.) Thanks. DiplomatTesterMan ( talk) 14:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC) reply
