Your contributed article, Pashtun American
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Pashtun American. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Afghan American. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Afghan American – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Krzyhorse22 (talk) 17:10, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Pashtun American
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pashtun American requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You're further warned here not to "remove th[e] notice from pages that you have created yourself". [1] Instead, you're supposed to click on the blue box which reads "Contest this speedy deletion".[2]--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 08:55, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far 
Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was 
Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.- Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Seeking your input
Greetings sir,
I'm seeking your input regarding the starter class article on G.A.Parwez, within the wiki-Pakistan project domain. It is a controversial topic so I've collected twenty 3rd party mainstream sources, on which the discussion is on-going currently at: [3]. I would like to build a consensus on the sources/content before I edit the main page. Your contribution of an opinion, as a very experienced editor within the project-scope, will be greatly appreciated. I hope you can spare some time for this. Thank you. Code16 ... Logic Bomb ! 14:35, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Potential admin
Hi, I notice you're on Wikipedia:List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked in the past three years - or a good explanation for a recent block, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you. SilkTork ✔Tea time 12:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Mar4d, if you run for an admin, I guess everybody is going to look at the British Pakistanis dispute with a microscope. I will let you take the lead in resolving it! Cheers, Kautilya3 (talk) 15:59, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- @SilkTork: I am thankful for your offer and appreciate it. Having admin tools is something I would certainly like to think about down the road, if it can enable me to better contribute to the encyclopedia, which I strive for in my current capacity. However, it is also true that whatever little or more I presently contribute to my areas of interest here are voluntary and because I enjoy it. As such, I like to enjoy this as a privilege rather than a burden, and I am sure going for adminship would require adding some responsibility which I can't commit to at the moment. I feel that I am satisfied with my current role, and would like to consider something like this after some more time, when I feel I can commit more time and resources on top of my voluntary editing. Regards, Mar4d (talk) 04:28, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- I think Mar4d should have accepted this offer. He has vast experience as a Wikipedian and his experience would have been more utilized during his role as admin. But anyway, everybody has its own priorities.--Human3015Send WikiLove 15:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support. As I have indicated, it would be a privilege and something to think about further down the road. For the present, I am largely satisfied with my current capacity, and would like to continue contributing in the same capacity to my focus topic areas. Indeed, we already have many admins who handle the topic area in which I edit, and I think they really do a decent job. Mar4d (talk) 02:17, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry for long delay in responding, I've been tied up. No worries about not feeling ready right now, and I understand the notion of it being an extra burden (though in fact it's not, it's simply extra tools which may make your job of contributing to the project easier and quicker). I'll mark you down on my list as not interested at the moment, but if you do change your mind, please do get in touch on my talkpage or by email. No promises as I've not yet looked into your contribution history, but I do like that you are willing to put yourself forward as an admin, so I'm happy to give you support, honest opinion, and advice when you're ready.

Help Regarding Template:WikiProject Sindh
Hi, Aoa,I have created a template (Template:WikiProject Sindh) as well as its doc template kindly help me how it can be included into relevant Wikipedia:WikiProject Sindh, Its intended that all attributes of Sindh can be summed up into one and separate WikiProject Sindh and could be used by Wikipedians utilizing it into creating new articles or already existing articles.... Kindly include it .....Thanks..Jogi 007 (talk) 04:08, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm, interesting idea. Actually most of the parameters contained in this template can be found in Template:WP PAK so it might be redundant to have a separate template. That is why we have just one template for WikiProject Pakistan that includes all provinces and cities, so that we don't need seperate templates (see Template:WikiProject India or Template:WikiProject Australia as an example, they too have one template for all India/Australia articles rather than individual state/city templates). The benefit of having a combined template is that all articles can be categorised under both Category:WikiProject Pakistan articles and Category:WikiProject Sindh articles using one template, rather than having to tag with two templates. It's more easy for assessments and navigation that way. I think the template can stay for now, but I'll try and come up with a better model for Template:WikiProject Pakistan where each sub-project can have its own assessment paramaters (currently, the parameter only exists for WikiProject Pakistan, not the sub-projects). That way, we can combine the two templates in the future. Let me know your thoughts if you have any :) Mar4d (talk) 08:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Fawad afzal khan
Salam Bro, i just wanted to add that now a edit war will start on the page of fawad khan due to punjabi pathan thing. He is punjabi speaking pathan but the thing is its better to remove the ethnicity part and in early life and just keep the categories after all he is pakistani and thats what matters to the world . I guess if we go further like this it will add this article to protection like many other articles. Whatever suits you is good . But after all he is pakistani and categories are enough to mention him As what he is ethnically
- W. Salam. I understand your concern, however I do not think it will affect the article or provoke an 'edit war'. As long as everything is sourced, it meets WP:BLP and is an essential piece of information in the article. In the case where there are unsourced edits, vandalism of BLP violations, they can always be reverted. Regards, Mar4d (talk) 04:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Block evasion
Siddiqui (talk · contribs) was blocked in 2008 for using multiple accounts. Later he created many accounts including Mar4d in April 2010. This account of Mar4d is actually a block evasion, all of edits of Mar4d in past 5 years are block evasion. I think talk page access and email should be disabled for this account. But in good faith he should be allowed to make unblock request from grand sockmaster account Siddiqui just for his satisfaction. --Human3015TALK 19:16, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker)I really doubt that but even if it was true, an admin will tell you that the only grounds of revoking talkpage access are abuse of talkpage instead of making unblock requests or other legitimate edits / requests on talkpage. A legitimate request in this case would also include denial of such accusation which makes removing talkpage access disruptive. I can't understand why you would request such given that Mar4d has not been editing his talkpage for anything but to discuss within purview of his block. Plus, Mar4d may choose to take WP:Standard Offer on this account after six months if his unblock request is rejected (that is, if he makes one), or simply after waiting. I'm not sure how any of this is worth admin time anyway. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
Enough
This is complete bogus!. Can I ask on what basis this frivolous SPI was merged!? How am I supposed to take this all seriously by taking the baggage of another sockmaster? On what basis was the connection with no evidence? How on earth was this judgement formed? @RegentsPark: I need you to take a look a detailed look at this because I'm losing a good part of my sanity. Mar4d (talk) 17:55, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Can we at least get admins involved in this case who dealt with Siddiqui? That's the minimum I'm asking. Mar4d (talk) 18:02, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- I am not going to take someone else's dirt. I already have enough to deal with on my own plate. I have nothing to do with User:Siddiqui. There needs to be a complete inquiry into this. Wrongly being tagged as another user's account is a serious issue. Mar4d (talk) 18:13, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Siddiqui/Archive, Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Siddiqui - Siddiqui and his accounts edit from Canada, how was this overlooked? Let's forget CU for a while, how on earth am I being connected to a user who's style of editing, POV, history is completely different? The mentioned user's account was created in 2005 (ten years ago) and blocked in 2007. This is before I even edited! Mar4d (talk) 18:22, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- @RegentsPark: You were editing back in 2007. This is about the same time when Siddiqui was editing. You know most editors in the topic area and I am sure you must have interacted with Siddiqui before. Do you think any of this makes any sense? Mar4d (talk) 18:57, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- By the way, I myself have been editing Wikipedia for years and I know each and every editor in my topic area on my fingertips. Siddiqui's accounts have a huge copyrights problem. See Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Paknur and Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/AlphaGamma1991. This is noted in Siddiqui's own SPI. As per my judgement, this user was most likely one of Siddiqui's recent accounts. This needs to be noted especially as I've been connected on so-called 'behavioural' evidence.

The Avengers
Can I also ask how this user, who's account is less than three months old yet one of his first actions on Wikipedia was filing an SPI on my account, and who now is apparently very clearly operated by CosmicEmperor (blocked), was not taken into account when this was started at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Siddiqui? Is the mala fide intent behind this not obvious? Mar4d (talk) 18:47, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- I don't know how does legitimacy of The Avengers is questionable here, SPI about him is going on, if he is cosmicemperor or not is really not question here, it is all about your socks. --Human3015TALK 19:05, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- I've been retagged under an unrelated master account based on a fabricated SPI filed by CosmicEmperor's account, The Avengers (talk · contribs) (account registered 18 September 2015). This needs to be investigated, in addition to the SPI running on CE above. The admin who made the call does not appear to have prior experience in dealing with Siddiqui, so I can understand if there is an error in judgement. Mar4d (talk) 09:29, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Evidence
So since I've been tagged as Siddiqui (talk · contribs), I decided to do some digging and narrow my search down to a time when Siddiqui's account/s and I were active. It took me less than 10 minutes to go back to July 2010 (compare: Siddiqui's edits and compare my edits). On 24 July, at 3:18, I made this edit. At 3:23, Siddiqui makes an edit. At 3:28, I make an edit, followed by Siddiqui's edits at 3:31 and 3:33. At 3:36, both Siddiqui and I make an edit! Then I create this category at 3:37. Siddiqui edits at 3:43, 3:50 and 3:55 and meanwhile I'm editing a category at 3:57. At 4:27, I edited a category and at 4:28, Siddiqui made his edit. I demand an explanation how it is humanly possible to be editing completely different articles/categories/topics at the same time, and sitting in two different countries!? For the record, Both AlphaGamma and Marduking were checkuser-confirmed accounts of Siddiqui. Mar4d (talk) 21:35, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- More common timings: Siddiqui at 14:32, me at 14:34, Siddiqui at 14:35 and me 14:37, Siddiqui at 14:42, 14:45, me at 14:44, 14:48 (I continue editing). On 25 July, at 12:34, Siddiqui and I editing completely different articles at the same time. Then on 27 July, AlphaGamma CU'd and blocked as Siddiqui. The diffs above and timings of the edits on the same day (matched by minutes), in addition to stark differences in topics edited shows how the accusation being made is logistically and technically impossible.

- Don't know why you removed my comment, it was in your support. Your wish. --AmritasyaPutraT 06:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC) Thanks, but I'd prefer to use this section to present evidence. Uninvolved users can comment above. Mar4d (talk) 06:36, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
The above is admissable evidence on its own. Nevertheless, attached is further evidence disproving the connection for purpose of further investigation. Mar4d (talk) 08:18, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

- Hi mar4d. I agree that the evidence re Siddique is very weak. But, imo, not much is going to happen here unless you can get the admin to reverse their findings Your best bet is to present your evidence to the admin who tagged you as a sock of siddiqui and, failing that, take your evidence to BASC. Mostly, people are fair so all this is worth a shot. --regentspark (comment) 16:46, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Noted, thanks. Pinging @Vanjagenije:. Mar4d (talk) 16:59, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- After reviewing the case again carefully, I see that the evidence connecting Acejet socks to Siddiqui is not strong enough. I reverting the merging of two cases, and reverted tagging Acejet and his accounts as socks of Siddiqui. Sorry for any inconvenience I caused. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:03, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks @Vanjagenije: I appreciate the prompt action. Mar4d (talk) 04:39, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Siddiqui

I got a pinged notification for this thread. As per the following thread on ANI, there seems to be an attempt to link me to another editor Siddiqui (contributions) which is false and baseless. There may or may not be an SPI. If the former is the case, at the least, it would be preferable if an editor could post or at least link my comment since the accusation involves me. In my defence, I'd like to point out:
