Hi Kautilya3, I think you got confused between the two of my edits. The edit you are talking about is different from the diff I provided in that section. Thank you for promptly updating the book edition. Regards. -- AmritasyaPutra✍ 11:40, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics.

Hello Kautilya3, your use of alternative accounts has been mentioned on my talk page and, quite frankly, I find it problematic, because you have violated the relevant policy, even if that was not your intention. First, you violated it by participating in the same discussion with both accounts and then you probably violated it again when you participated in an ArbCom case request using this Kautilya3 instead of your primary account (I say probably because you say you undisclosed the connection to only one arbitrator and not to the entire arbitration committee, so, as far as I'm concerned, I'm more inclined to consider it undisclosed for the purposes of WP:ILLEGIT, though reasonable people may disagree here). Now, I don't think a block is necessary, because I consider this violation accidental, but I have to ask you to please choose one account and only edit from it, abandoning the other entirely: while it's possible to have an undisclosed alternative account for privacy reasons, its use is subject to various and limitations and, anyway, it's considered inappropriate to edit within the same topic area with two different accounts.

Dear Sir, it would be highly appreciated if you and Van wait for a discussion on article talk page before removing established (was in the article was long) referenced content that seems a little contentious. The article was read and copy-edited by four editors recently and there was no objection to the text or the reference and imho the replaced text is selective and not in neutral tone. Regards. -- AmritasyaPutra T 01:40, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with me according to your reverts at M. S. Golwalkar. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity. Instead of edit warring, please participate in the discussion on the article talk page. Thank you.-- AmritasyaPutra T 10:36, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Right about what? The edit summary was "the word arya was not used in sikhism as sikhism was started in 15th century this word was unknown to sikh gurus." This is ludicrous. The word Arya would have been known to Sikh gurus as to every other guru in India at the time, or are you seriously suggesting that the word which is central to Sanskrit religious culture had somehow become "unknown" in the 15th century? What on earth do you base that claim on? Paul B ( talk) 20:54, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

AP, for once I believe this is a simple misunderstanding. The point K3 is making, is that when there is a disagreement over the substance (ie topics, sources, weighting, etc) then fixing language, grammar, and flow is a slight waste of effort. In other words, we should discuss the content and sources before spending time on a copy-edit (or rather, we would like to; if you wish to copy-edit anyway, I have no issues). Does that make sense?

Mahabharata can not be written before 1000 BCE. It was actually written between 500 BCE and 500 AD. All eminent historians more or less agreed on this. No need to give currency to Myths produced by enthusiasts or interested groups. It beats the common logic of Historiography. Let him come with a reliable source.

@ Kautilya3: Go to History of India Talk Page.
1. A GoI secretary, not any Historian wrote that Oxford University Press book. Eminent historians like Romila Thapar, RC Majumder , JN Sarkar etc never gave such a date of 1500 BCE when the war might take place (if true) around 900 BCE.
2.It is an individual's( who is neither a historian nor an expert on old texts) opinion trying to be placed a general opinion. Ghatus ( talk) 14:13, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

The wiki article on Vaghela needs changes. It contains unverified tall claims on his behalf, such as a) BJP atually wanted to make him (not Keshubhai Patel) CM in 1995, b) Suresh Menhta was his loyalist, etc etc. His electoral history is sloppily written. I added info about where he was elected from in 1989 and 1991, later 1999 and 2004, where he lost from. I corrected some inaccuracies; for example the following statement is not correct: From 1996 to 1997 he was a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. He became MLA in early 1997, not 1996.
I spent 20-25 minutes researching and doing changes. How can you simply roll them back without checking what changes were made, and applying your own knowledge and doing some research yourself? Of course if you are a chamcha of Vaghela, you may want your own version to prevail. In which case you can write whatever you want. But I am assuming you want the article to be factual - and I added facts to it, and removed some tall claims on Vaghela's behalf. I did not add any unwanted praise or unwanted criticism, since I am neutral to him.
As one of the people to vote for a merge of this article, perhaps you would like to find anything worthwhile to merge into the main article. noq ( talk) 00:11, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

There was heavy amount of whitewashing done by the IP address if you see the history of the article. He changed:-
"Caste used to be thought of as an ancient fact of Hindu life, but contemporary scholars argue that the caste system was constructed by the British colonial regime. Between 1860 and 1920, the British segregated Indians by caste, granting administrative jobs and senior"... to ... "Caste is thought of as an ancient fact of Hindu life, but some contemporary scholars argue that the caste system in its modern form was constructed by British colonial rule. Between 1860 and 1920, the British codified the castes of India and granted administrative jobs"..
No where it says modern or some contemporary scholars.
He changed "This and related collections became controversial for staging extreme effects and constructing identities of various colonised nations".. to .."This and related collections became controversial and were accused of staging extreme effects and constructing identities of various colonised nations. "
Since it is a historically accepted charge, why he needed to add were accused of?
He did that on whole page, and after that he added "Other sources suggest that the caste system existed in India prior to the arrival of the British, and enumerating classes and castes do not constitute the act of constructing it. Célestin Bouglé, for example, used 17th to 19th century historical reports by Christian missionaries and some Europeans on Indian society to suggest that a rigid caste system existed in India during and before British ruled India, quite similar in many respects to the social stratification found in 17th to 19th century Europe."
His citation is not mentioning 17th or seventeenth century anywhere on whole article, nor it says that it existed before the British rule, he has misrepresented that book/link. It is only reporting the relevance of this system when British were already ruling for decades. You think that we can actually use a missionary as citation? When we have already added to the article that caste system in other forms existed prior to British regime. Bladesmulti ( talk) 10:20, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Formation and spread of Vedic culture |
---|
The origins of the
Vedic culture lie in the interaction of the
proto-Indo-Iranians with the
BMAC, approximately 2,000-1,800 BCE, in the area of what is nowadays northern Afganistan. From this area, the Vedic people migrated over the Hindu Kush into the Indus Valley, around 1,500 BCE. The emergence of the proto-Indo-Iranians is part of the Indo-European migrations. These migrations started 4,000 BCE with a diffusion from their origins in the Yamna culture, which was part of the Kurgan horizon. At 2,000 BCE started the migrations out of the Eastern-European steppes. Sources: Beckwith, Christopher I. (2009), Empires of the Silk Road, Princeton University Press chapter 1); Anthony, David W.

How are you doing? Are #Je Suis Charlie T-shirts there in your campus? I wish to make two points, when avoidable it is better to keep comments chronological instead of commenting in middle (in the context of BJP/GA1). Also my objection is not personal, review by involved editor is discouraged in general to avoid setting a bad precedent. It is always better if an uninvolved editor does a GA review, that helps get fresh perspective in improving the article and also increases the credibility of the review. You may not deny that you have edited very closely with the nominator, I have made a comment there that you have much lesser edit count than me but much higher interaction with the nominator, it may not be attributed to the phenomenon of editing in same topic area. -- AmritasyaPutra T 03:16, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

It is not confirmed whether the issue was under the Himachal dhwani and those dates of citations are incorrect, it is not 15 January, but 8 January, the first day of this news. This all was added under 2014, but not 2015. IP's changes were not bad, but these few errors I had thought of looking, but later. After some days, news [5] was more detailed, and that is what we have to mention. Not just about Kareena Kapoor's morphed picture, it looks less of a community reaction, but more of a gossip/promotion because it is not really encyclopedic or it is telling about their actual aim. There are many representation of Love Jihad, and because this time it resembled/included a photo of Kareena Kapoor it serves no bigger purpose. Finally VHP confirmed that there were no forced conversion in Himachal Pradesh, so did the cops. [6] The drive is going(that's future) to be more about cautioning, the present form of this sentence seems to be speaking like they are attempting to convert.

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the
API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

I reverted that edit on Babri Masjid because it seemed like it was Hindutva and it was an IP. I'm not opposed to reviewing stuff, but it's Ramadan since last night and this is when the ... difficult people, shall we say? ... come out of the woodwork. They come out on both sides during holy periods, but tbh in Ramadan is when we get a ton of angry Islamophobes.
I worry about tone on Babri Masjid, as it was a particularly horrendous moment of one-sided Hindutva communal violence. We need to make sure it doesn't get watered down any more than it already is, no matter how awful the communal violence was that was directed the other way (i.e. the 1993 Mumbai attacks et. al.), and people really work to water it down.

Dear Kautilya, as i understand full citations are not a requirement. I have seen several wikipedia articles with short citations. I had given the book title and author name in the edit, and here is a wikipedia page about citing sources which describes how to give short citations. This business of short citations concerns the two books i had cited. With respect to the two online articles i cited, only the name of author, date, and name of publication are missing but they are also missing in many other references i have seen in wikipedia articles. I also wish you could have had the decency and courtesy to make a request on my talk page to give additional details with respect to the citations instead of removing the edits altogether.

Your edit
here "but the perpetrators have not been prosecuted and remain at large" is not helpful. You say "This is not contentious, there is a link to the main article in the body." but you do not indicate what you consider to be the 'main article' or where the link can be found.
A better course would be to add a reference to the source immediately after the contentious phrase, making sure of course that the source does support the phrase.

Wikipedia's World Sanskrit Conference article had been unedited since 2014 when I visited there a few minutes ago. So I made edits noting that the 2015 conference had already occurred, and that a delegation of 250 Indian scholars had gone, in what The Economic Times called a "display of soft power". It appears that the 2015 (sixteenth) conference was different than any of the previous ones, setting a new tone. You can find the academic program online (I cited it), and RM was listed as one of the opening-day plenary session speakers. An Indian government representative gave the inaugural address, in Sanskrit. There is a fair bit of press coverage. Especially in view of RM's forthcoming book on Sanskrit, doubtless to draw attention and controversy, I think WP should expand its coverage of the 2015 conference, even if previous triannual conferences receive little individual attention. Whether this expanded 2015 coverage shoudl be retained within the same page linked above, or on a new page, is an issue that could be decided over time, when it becomes clear how much our WP:RS allow us to say in an article. I'd encourage others to take up where I've left off. Regards -- Presearch ( talk) 22:42, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
I reverted Vanamonde93's edit because the prior edit was verbatim from NY times article. Van's reason for revert was that Indian Mujahideen did not claim teh responsibility. I am not sure where he got that information from but the article states what the previous editor had stated verbatim. The relevance is obvious. The sub section discusses the responsibility of Malegaon blasts. This is a removal of sourced content by Vanamonde93 which I removed. thanks! -- Sdmarathe ( talk) 22:53, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning British Pakistanis, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/British Pakistanis, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Hello Kautilya3, your use of alternative accounts has been mentioned on my talk page and, quite frankly, I find it problematic, because you have violated the relevant policy, even if that was not your intention. First, you violated it by participating in the same discussion with both accounts and then you probably violated it again when you participated in an ArbCom case request using this Kautilya3 instead of your primary account (I say probably because you say you undisclosed the connection to only one arbitrator and not to the entire arbitration committee, so, as far as I'm concerned, I'm more inclined to consider it undisclosed for the purposes of WP:ILLEGIT, though reasonable people may disagree here). Now, I don't think a block is necessary, because I consider this violation accidental, but I have to ask you to please choose one account and only edit from it, abandoning the other entirely: while it's possible to have an undisclosed alternative account for privacy reasons, its use is subject to various and limitations and, anyway, it's considered inappropriate to edit within the same topic area with two different accounts.

Right about what? The edit summary was "the word arya was not used in sikhism as sikhism was started in 15th century this word was unknown to sikh gurus." This is ludicrous. The word Arya would have been known to Sikh gurus as to every other guru in India at the time, or are you seriously suggesting that the word which is central to Sanskrit religious culture had somehow become "unknown" in the 15th century?

AP, for once I believe this is a simple misunderstanding. The point K3 is making, is that when there is a disagreement over the substance (ie topics, sources, weighting, etc) then fixing language, grammar, and flow is a slight waste of effort. In other words, we should discuss the content and sources before spending time on a copy-edit (or rather, we would like to; if you wish to copy-edit anyway, I have no issues). Does that make sense?

The wiki article on Vaghela needs changes. It contains unverified tall claims on his behalf, such as a) BJP atually wanted to make him (not Keshubhai Patel) CM in 1995, b) Suresh Menhta was his loyalist, etc etc. His electoral history is sloppily written. I added info about where he was elected from in 1989 and 1991, later 1999 and 2004, where he lost from. I corrected some inaccuracies; for example the following statement is not correct: From 1996 to 1997 he was a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. He became MLA in early 1997, not 1996.
I spent 20-25 minutes researching and doing changes. How can you simply roll them back without checking what changes were made, and applying your own knowledge and doing some research yourself? Of course if you are a chamcha of Vaghela, you may want your own version to prevail. In which case you can write whatever you want. But I am assuming you want the article to be factual - and I added facts to it, and removed some tall claims on Vaghela's behalf. I did not add any unwanted praise or unwanted criticism, since I am neutral to him.

There was heavy amount of whitewashing done by the IP address if you see the history of the article. He changed:-
"Caste used to be thought of as an ancient fact of Hindu life, but contemporary scholars argue that the caste system was constructed by the British colonial regime. Between 1860 and 1920, the British segregated Indians by caste, granting administrative jobs and senior"... to ... "Caste is thought of as an ancient fact of Hindu life, but some contemporary scholars argue that the caste system in its modern form was constructed by British colonial rule. Between 1860 and 1920, the British codified the castes of India and granted administrative jobs"..
No where it says modern or some contemporary scholars.
He changed "This and related collections became controversial for staging extreme effects and constructing identities of various colonised nations".. to .."This and related collections became controversial and were accused of staging extreme effects and constructing identities of various colonised nations. "
Since it is a historically accepted charge, why he needed to add were accused of?
He did that on whole page, and after that he added "Other sources suggest that the caste system existed in India prior to the arrival of the British, and enumerating classes and castes do not constitute the act of constructing it. Célestin Bouglé, for example, used 17th to 19th century historical reports by Christian missionaries and some Europeans on Indian society to suggest that a rigid caste system existed in India during and before British ruled India, quite similar in many respects to the social stratification found in 17th to 19th century Europe."
His citation is not mentioning 17th or seventeenth century anywhere on whole article, nor it says that it existed before the British rule, he has misrepresented that book/link. It is only reporting the relevance of this system when British were already ruling for decades. You think that we can actually use a missionary as citation? When we have already added to the article that caste system in other forms existed prior to British regime. Bladesmulti ( talk) 10:20, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Formation and spread of Vedic culture |
---|
The origins of the
Vedic culture lie in the interaction of the
proto-Indo-Iranians with the
BMAC, approximately 2,000-1,800 BCE, in the area of what is nowadays northern Afganistan. From this area, the Vedic people migrated over the Hindu Kush into the Indus Valley, around 1,500 BCE. The emergence of the proto-Indo-Iranians is part of the Indo-European migrations. These migrations started 4,000 BCE with a diffusion from their origins in the Yamna culture, which was part of the Kurgan horizon. At 2,000 BCE started the migrations out of the Eastern-European steppes. Sources: Beckwith, Christopher I. (2009), Empires of the Silk Road, Princeton University Press chapter 1); Anthony, David W.

How are you doing? Are #Je Suis Charlie T-shirts there in your campus? I wish to make two points, when avoidable it is better to keep comments chronological instead of commenting in middle (in the context of BJP/GA1). Also my objection is not personal, review by involved editor is discouraged in general to avoid setting a bad precedent. It is always better if an uninvolved editor does a GA review, that helps get fresh perspective in improving the article and also increases the credibility of the review. You may not deny that you have edited very closely with the nominator, I have made a comment there that you have much lesser edit count than me but much higher interaction with the nominator, it may not be attributed to the phenomenon of editing in same topic area. -- AmritasyaPutra T 03:16, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Elena Efimovna Kuzmina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indo-Europeans. 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.

It is not confirmed whether the issue was under the Himachal dhwani and those dates of citations are incorrect, it is not 15 January, but 8 January, the first day of this news. This all was added under 2014, but not 2015. IP's changes were not bad, but these few errors I had thought of looking, but later. After some days, news [5] was more detailed, and that is what we have to mention. Not just about Kareena Kapoor's morphed picture, it looks less of a community reaction, but more of a gossip/promotion because it is not really encyclopedic or it is telling about their actual aim. There are many representation of Love Jihad, and because this time it resembled/included a photo of Kareena Kapoor it serves no bigger purpose. Finally VHP confirmed that there were no forced conversion in Himachal Pradesh, so did the cops. [6] The drive is going(that's future) to be more about cautioning, the present form of this sentence seems to be speaking like they are attempting to convert.

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic.

(Talk-page therapy) For a long time, I have been listening to Gulshan Ara Syed's rendition of Hato Kaheko Jhooti. She is a Bangladeshi singer who moved to Pakistan and, for whatever reason, did not particularly shine afterwards. Well, yesterday, I tried to look into where this song came from. I find that it was from Ustad Faiyaz Khan, a legendary singer, whose gharana goes back to Tansen. And, then I find that his tomb in Baroda was vandalised during the 2006 Vadodara riots.

I appreciate the message and the concerns. But you are wrong to assume this. If you check my last edit, I re-named "Indo-Bangladesh enclaves" to "India-Bangladesh enclaves." "Indo" is a prefix that means lots of different things.

No I wrote edit summaries in many edits.

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the
API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.
What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.
This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.
If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!
Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.
Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.
Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

I reverted that edit on Babri Masjid because it seemed like it was Hindutva and it was an IP. I'm not opposed to reviewing stuff, but it's Ramadan since last night and this is when the ... difficult people, shall we say? ... come out of the woodwork. They come out on both sides during holy periods, but tbh in Ramadan is when we get a ton of angry Islamophobes.
I worry about tone on Babri Masjid, as it was a particularly horrendous moment of one-sided Hindutva communal violence. We need to make sure it doesn't get watered down any more than it already is, no matter how awful the communal violence was that was directed the other way (i.e. the 1993 Mumbai attacks et. al.), and people really work to water it down.

Dear Kautilya, as i understand full citations are not a requirement. I have seen several wikipedia articles with short citations. I had given the book title and author name in the edit, and here is a wikipedia page about citing sources which describes how to give short citations. This business of short citations concerns the two books i had cited. With respect to the two online articles i cited, only the name of author, date, and name of publication are missing but they are also missing in many other references i have seen in wikipedia articles. I also wish you could have had the decency and courtesy to make a request on my talk page to give additional details with respect to the citations instead of removing the edits altogether. Soham321 ( talk) 14:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC) Of the two online articles i gave as reference, one (The Economic Times article) seems to be an editorial because it does not mention any author.

Your edit
here "but the perpetrators have not been prosecuted and remain at large" is not helpful. You say "This is not contentious, there is a link to the main article in the body." but you do not indicate what you consider to be the 'main article' or where the link can be found.
A better course would be to add a reference to the source immediately after the contentious phrase, making sure of course that the source does support the phrase.

Wikipedia's World Sanskrit Conference article had been unedited since 2014 when I visited there a few minutes ago. So I made edits noting that the 2015 conference had already occurred, and that a delegation of 250 Indian scholars had gone, in what The Economic Times called a "display of soft power". It appears that the 2015 (sixteenth) conference was different than any of the previous ones, setting a new tone. You can find the academic program online (I cited it), and RM was listed as one of the opening-day plenary session speakers. An Indian government representative gave the inaugural address, in Sanskrit. There is a fair bit of press coverage. Especially in view of RM's forthcoming book on Sanskrit, doubtless to draw attention and controversy, I think WP should expand its coverage of the 2015 conference, even if previous triannual conferences receive little individual attention. Whether this expanded 2015 coverage shoudl be retained within the same page linked above, or on a new page, is an issue that could be decided over time, when it becomes clear how much our WP:RS allow us to say in an article. I'd encourage others to take up where I've left off. Regards -- Presearch ( talk) 22:42, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning British Pakistanis, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/British Pakistanis, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.
