Unsourced content on Cheema Article

Hi Street Scholar
It seems that you are one of the main contributors of the Cheema article . The article needs some improvement for example

• It is replete with sweeping personal opinions not backed by proper citations or verifiable sources .
• Citations do not carry the proper page ref .
• Citations from primary sources not backed by secondary of tertiary sources .
• Unrelated information or information that needs inputs that establish relation .

I also hope that you are not using a sockpuppet to post on various other articles .

Cheers

Chach Nama a primary source and written by a Kazi appointed by Qasim himself

Hi Street Scholar
I see you have used the Chach Nama as a source to insert information and quotes to various articles and Stubs such as Raja Sahasi II Rani Suhanadi‎ Cheema to name a few . After a long and protracted discussion with various user including Tigroo (who is now banned because of using many sockpuppets) it was concluded and agreed that the Chach Nama can not be cited as it is a primary source specially since it was written by Kàzí Ismáíl . Kází Ismàíl was appointed the first Kází of Alór by Muhammad Kásim after the conquest of the place .

Please ref to my comment on the discussion page of the Talk:Chach Nama where I have provided the complete citations for this information as well .

Would appreciate your comments . Cheers

RFA

Please follow the instructions on creating a 2nd nomination, as you are trying to transclude your old RFA from 2007. I should also note that I don't believe you will have success at this point, having just come back from a rather lengthy wikibreak. –xeno^talk 18:42, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Odd speedies

First a speedy deletion tag on Portal:Feminism, a featured portal, and now an A7 on Feminism. A7 can't be applied to a movement or theory, and in any case, there are plenty of assertions of notability on the page. Care to explain? --Gimme danger (talk) 21:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Britisharmy.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Britisharmy.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 21:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:Gimme danger. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 05:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Your message on my talk page says "I understand wiki policy very well, and I did not insult anyone, so your warning was spurious, and using your position as an admin to threaten other users, which is a violation of wiki policy. I think you owe me an apology on my talk page.".

First, any editor can leave warnings, not just administrators. But I expect you know that.

Secondly, it wasn't a threat, it was a warning that actions have consequences.

And here is what you wrote: [1] "Are you trying to question me just because I am a man and this does not conform to your perverted ideology?" - 'your perverted ideology' was clearly an attack. About 45 minutes later the editor you attacked responded asking why you were putting inapproppriate speedy delete tags on articles, with the edit summary " I love a personal attack in the late afternoon.". Amd about a quarter of an hour later you added "fuck you bitch, I don't need to explain myself to you, maybe you are confusing me for your husband." [2]. Two clear personal attacks. Seven minutes later you redacted that comment saying it was a mistake. However, you did it, didn't apologise, and didn't redact the bit about 'perverted ideology'. So no, I am not apologising, and you are free to take up your actions and mine anywhere you want. The warning is a valid one and hopefully the last one you will ever get.

Sufi Saints of South Asia

Hello Street Scholar. I notice that you are interested in Sufism. I have put forth a request on the Reward Board for assistance in bringing the Sufi Saints of South Asia article to at least B-class. All meaningful contributors will get barnstars. The article is in dire need of being developed. It is an important article in relation to Islam in South Asia. Please help in developing the article.

Vandalism with misleading edit summaries

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:02, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This account has allegedly been compromised, not for the first time (see 2009 incidents). --Orange Mike | Talk 14:23, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

• Yes I am aware of that, I share accommodation and I always autofill and remember log ins on my account normally I make sure to lock the computer when I am away. Street Scholar (talk) 20:57, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

• • So you're going to play and indefinite ban on the account? --

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Street Scholar (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I don't mind being blocked, but an indifinte block is completely heavy handed, re: wiki policy essentially this is terrible administration by Orange Mike | Talk. Also keep in mind I was last blocked 4 years ago!!! see my contributions also. Reagrds, Street Scholar (talk) 16:26, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Not an unblock request. Someday during your block you'll possibly take the time to understand the difference between "infinite" (meaning forever) and "indefinite". Maybe read WP:GAB once or twice. Maybe know that comments about the admin who wisely blocked you will also not lead to any form of unblock. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:45, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• No need to be pretentious (you could have handled it professionally) I do understand the meaning and I did read the WP:GAB, why do I have an indefinite block why did he change it from a timed block to an indefinite block the next day? Street Scholar (talk)

Proposed deletion of Ram Swarup Joon

The article Ram Swarup Joon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ACADEMIC - a soldier who wrote one book, which has minimal hits on GBooks and GScholar and whose many GHits seem mostly to be mirrors of this article or the others on Wikipedia in which he is cited. There has been a discussion at the India project about reliability etc.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Cheema Villages

The article Cheema Villages has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is supposed to be a list of villages inhabited by members of the Cheema community.. It is mostly redlinks and the bluelinks are impossible to verify because there has been no useful census of caste since 1931. No surprise, then, that it has been tagged for sources since 2007.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
