Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of Fazika

Hello CaptShayan,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Battle of Fazika for deletion in response to your request.

If you didn't intend to make such a request and don't want the article to be deleted, you can edit the page and remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Indo-Pakistani war of 1947–1948, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 17:06, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

None of my edits contradicts these five points. I'm just curious why an editor suddenly reverted 5000 bytes without doing a consensus whereas you can see the talk page of the article that while adding these, it was discussed on the tp. ᶜᵒᶥᵒⁿᵉᶥ (talk) 06:14, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hussain Saddam (April 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Reading Beans were:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I’m afraid but concerned raised five years ago are still the main issue of my decline. Best,

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hussain Saddam and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Nomination of Battle of Jassar for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Battle of Jassar is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Battle of Jassar until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of Jassar

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 Battle of Jassar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.hilal.gov.pk/view-article.php?i=6552 and https://tribune.com.pk/story/2434281/1965-war-their-finest-hour. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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. SunloungerFrog (talk) 08:29, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify it. Will work on it later and submit via AfC. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 13:16, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Battle of Jassar

Hello Lt.gen.zephyr! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Battle of Jassar, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://web.archive.org/web/20250325211044/https://www.hilal.gov.pk/view-article.php?i=6552 https://tribune.com.pk/story/2434281/1965-war-their-finest-hour, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License (CC BY-SA 4.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Talk:Battle of Jassar and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-enwikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Battle of Jassar, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Battle of Jassar. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC BY-SA), version 4.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Battle of Jassar with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Battle of Jassar saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:33, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've also removed non-free content copied by you from an external source from Draft:Inderbal Singh Bawa (see below). Please read and take notice of our copyright policy, and be aware that editors who repeatedly violate that policy risk permanent loss of editing privileges. If there's any other page where you've copied non-free external content, please mention it here so that it too can be cleaned up. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:27, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Inderbal Singh Bawa moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Inderbal Singh Bawa. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and there's hardly anything left after removal of the copyvio. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:51, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zephyr

Why does someone keep deleting the casualties section of indo-pakistani war of 1965? Can you please check this. Thanks! Ironman993 (talk) 07:39, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because to some people it's unclear about the casualties. Though I have overviewed them, but I think a consensus would give a result. However, there had a consensus before, which agreed to remove the territorial claims. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 07:46, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bhopinder Singh and Bhupinder Singh Thakur

I have created a Wikipedia article for Lieutenant Generals Bhupinder Singh Thakur. I looked at this article Bhopinder Singh now. Sometimes it seems to be different, sometimes it seems to be the same person. What's your opinion about that? If it is the same person, which article would you like to merge into? Behappyyar (talk) 17:15, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both are same person. Merging Bhopinder Singh to Bhupinder Singh Thakur would be a good decision, as Bhupinder Singh Thakur has more references and looks reliable. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 17:23, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that'll be fine. Thanks. Behappyyar (talk) 17:32, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to help. By the way, great contribution to the articles of Pakistani Generals. I was on a plan to do so, but saw you have created almost maximum articles. Well done! 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 17:49, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the praise. Can you help in merging up? Behappyyar (talk) 20:01, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a professional in merging, but I think creating a redirect would help. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 20:15, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! Its content has to be merged into Bhupinder Singh Thakur but if it is just copied and pasted then there will be a copyright issue. Behappyyar (talk) 20:26, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted a merge request. Kindly, express your opinion at Talk:Bhupinder Singh Thakur #Merge proposal ( Discussion). Behappyyar (talk) 06:11, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think discussing about this in the talk of the article would help much. I'll suggest you taking it to the Wikipedia:Help desk, there you will find plenty of other wikipedians. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 06:24, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. If possible, express your opinion about which one should be merged into whom at the talk page. Thanks. Behappyyar (talk) 11:09, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Hussain Saddam. Thanks! Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:55, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

June 2025

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the Talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hussain Saddam (June 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Curb Safe Charmer was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Despite there being many references with mere mentions or quotes of what he said, zero of them satisfy the criteria of WP:INDEPTH, WP:INDEPENDENT, WP:SECONDARY coverage about Hussain Saddam.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hussain Saddam and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Proposed deletion of Dharambir Singh Sihag

The article Dharambir Singh Sihag has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While brave, there is not in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and would not have met WP:NSOLDIER, prior to it being deprecated.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

ISPR disambiguation

Hi! When you have a moment would you please reply to my comments at Talk:ISPR? Thanks. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 08:38, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd reply here instead. A simple google search on ISPR will show the media directoate of Pakistan Army, not any other thing. Generally ISPR refers to the same thing as well. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 08:54, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple ISPR's, not just the one. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:57, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are only two ISPR, one under Bangladesh Armed Forces and another under Pakistan Armed Forces. Pakistan one was created way before Bangladesh one's, as Pakistan got independence before Bangladesh. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 09:00, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the Pakistan ISPR article is older then Bangladesh. No other thing primarily appears except Pakistan ISPR on a simple google search. Hence ISPR should redirect to Pakistan's ISPR, leaving ISPR disambiguation exist as another disambiguation page. 𝗭𝗲𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗿 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 09:02, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ref names

When using ref names you do not need to define the ref each time. The whole point of the ref names, is that you define the ref name once, and the rest of the time you just use the ref name. For example:

First time.^[1]
Next time.^[1]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Battle of Hussainiwala. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 07:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do not mis-tag statements in articles

The failed verification tag is for statements that are not supported by the cited source. It is not an appropriate tag when the source supports the statements. You wrongly applied the failed verification tag in this edit to Abhinandan Varthaman. -- Toddy1 (talk) 20:58, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
