Robin Reid (boxer)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Robin Reid (boxer), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Robin Reid. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:09, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Article Robin Reid (cyclist)

Hi, I noticed that you created Robin Reid (cyclist), but listed no sources for the information contained in the article. According to Wikipedia's content policies, all information must be verifiable from reliable sources. Therefore, it's necessary to cite your sources so other editors can check that the information included in the article is correct and matches the sources used. Information not previously published in such sources is prohibited as original research, since other editors can't verify it. Unsourced information may be challenged and removed at any time, and articles that can't be verified are likely to be deleted. Guidance on how to cite your sources is available, and if you need any further help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Gilo1969 (talk) 13:24, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Central business district

Hello. You added something about Pakistan to the article on central business districts (click here to see a summary). My problem with that is that I am 99% certain that the Urdu word "Shehar" means a city as a whole, rather than the central business district. A more appropriate word might be "bazaar" but that can also mean just the trading markets. It is probably better to just leave Pakistan out of the definition for the moment. Green Giant (talk) 19:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

In response to your message:

I know that people in many countries refer to the CBD by saying "I am going to the city" but I am not convinced that "shehar" refers specifically to the CBD rather than the whole city. At best you could claim it to be a informal use but that is not strong enough to list it in Wikipedia. More often I have heard people use specific terms such as "bazaar" (for the markets/shops) and "kacheriah" (for official business like the courts etc). It is purely academic however, because regardless of our personal opinions, you would need to provide a verifiable third-party source in line with Wikipedia:Verifiability. If you were to do so, I would have absolutely no objection to including your edits in the article. Green Giant (talk) 17:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Etiquette of Pakistani dining

I have nominated Etiquette of Pakistani dining, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Etiquette of Pakistani dining. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

January 2009

1. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Etiquette of Pakistani dining. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 11:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
2. Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Rooh Afza. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. In addition, you have incorrectly changed captions of pictures (see here and here) and you are reordering lists with the only apparent purpose to put Pakistan before India, which at best is unnecessary and at worst introduces errors, like in Rooh Afza. Please try to be more careful and constructive with your edits. Thanks, JazzMan 20:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 154 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Rai Hassan Nawaz - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
