Also, Kulamarga is the term used by the top Saiva expert, Alexis Sanderson.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 14:33, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@VictoriaGrayson: I have noticed that you keep promoting Alexis and deleting references to the works of his predecessors (Jaideva Singh, Mark Dyczkowski, etc.), which is what I intend to object to at one point. The thing is, Wikipedia policies do not require "AlexisName" but "CommonName".

Kaula is commonly used as a noun, although by texts belonging to the doctrine itself rather than by outside sources which predominantly use kula. (A slight semantical difference is there between kulam and kaulam but we can safely ignore it here). For evidence of kaulam, see e.g. Monier-Williams.. — kashmiri ^TALK 18:22, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

The reference I use was republished in the Brill encyclopedia of Hinduism, which is a tertiary reference.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 19:02, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Alexis Sanderson is a WP:PRIMARY source on Sanskrit usage. For the same reason I won't cite Kularnava Tantra, even though it uses kaula as noun all over and, as you might know, is the scripture for Kaula. On the other hand, Monier-Williams is a recognised WP:SECONDARY source for the Sanskrit language. See, Wikipedia does not really care what Mr Sanderson thinks people should use but only records what terms are used. I encourage you to read WP:COMMONNAME again.

As a side note, I am not sure what is your level of knowledge of Sanskrit, but kulamarga means "practice of Kula" whereas the article also intends to cover the doctrine. Sure, in everyday usage it's ok to say that someone follows kulamarga, kula or kaula, but when writing articles for Wikipedia we should keep in mind these subtle differences. — kashmiri ^TALK 19:21, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

The reference I use was republished in the Brill encyclopedia of Hinduism, which is a tertiary reference.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 19:23, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, this reference indeed is a tertiary source, and uses "Kaula" both as an adjective and a noun. Also, take a look at the titles of Kaula works quoted there: Paścimāmnāya-Kaula, Kaulakamala, Ūrmikaulārṇava, Nityākaula, etc. They are a perfect example of the usage of kaula as a noun denoting the teachings/tradition. Although kula is the predominant term of course. — kashmiri ^TALK 19:28, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

These two are the same article:

• This was published in the Brill encyclopedia of Hinduism.
• This was published in a journal.

But its the same article.VictoriaGrayson^Talk 19:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Doc James: Yes, for an article. For an uncontroversial detail, please read WP:PRESERVE, esp. about the suggestion to use the {{cn}} tag. Regards, — kashmiri ^TALK 10:52, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

I am not convinced it is notable on the article about the disease. Fine to put it in the article about the show. Substantial coverage is required to show it is more than just trivia. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Doc James: Yep, that's I don't know to what extent we should keep such occurrences in popular culture in articles. This could merit a discussion on WP:MED. My feeling is, a different bar should apply to common diseases and to rare diseases. As to this case, I have been observing a worrying tendency to favour Euro/American references to those from non-Europe/USA countries - even though the Japanese TV show, featuring a famous Japanese actor, will likely be much more popular in absolute number of viewers than some episode of a Stargate Universe series.

Additionally, honestly I would prefer if you respect WP:PRESERVE, which is an official Wikipedia policy, especially in a case when two editors considered this mention valuable. Regards, — kashmiri ^TALK 11:42, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Kashmiri you had written above that you believe that you should be exempt from the WP:VERIFY policy and from WP:MEDRS. You are saying it again here, a different way. As I wrote above, that is not going to happen, no matter what forum you take that to. Jytdog (talk) 15:18, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jytdog: I had not written that, and I also think you missed the word "biomedical" when reading WP:MEDRS. Before invoking it read it again please, carefully as it is a very useful guideline. — kashmiri ^TALK 16:56, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

We already have guidance on including media portrayal of diseases here Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles#Media_portrayals There needs to be significant third party source not just "I watched the show and one of the actors pretended they had disease X" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Doc James: Yes, clearly sourcing was missing, but we also have WP:SIGNIFICANCE where we allow information likely to be significant to remain in Wikipedia. As to MEDMOS, it requires evidence of wide coverage in general media, so we should perhaps revisit the remaining claims in this section and remove all those without such evidence, correct? — kashmiri ^TALK 16:56, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes agree. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

@Anon=us: Yes, moving is the right way of renaming pages; copy-and-paste page moves are technically not allowed (H:MOVE). I guess the process will be smoother if you request delete, because as page creator you can easily do this as CSD G7, while I would need to provide a justification.

Hey man, it appears that the Sultan Bahu group is back. They're harmless aside from annoying promotionalism, but that's still against site policy. Zaheer Abbass Gondal and Faqeer Noor Muhammad Sarwari Qadiri seem to be the latest examples. Am I jumping the gun by stating that there simply isn't any proof of notability for said individuals?

@MezzoMezzo: Reported the case to ANI . — kashmiri ^TALK 05:17, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

OK good questions : Zaheer Abbass Gondal and Faqeer Noor Muhammad Sarwari Qadiri are notable indeed . One may ask why?

You can find online as well in islamic books stores in pakistan and elsewhere the books of Faqeer Noor Muhammad Kalachvi ® he's the author of various books notably , IRFAN 1 , IRFAN 2 , MAKHZANUL ASRAR etc further you can find documentary on this Blessed Sufi Personality on youtube he had taken veil from this temporary abode a long ago i.e decades. Secondly he had made a good sincere effort to collect and translate the books of Hazrat Sultan Bahu ® which were very hard to find and its a not piece of cake to do that it takes a lifetime to achieve such work, he was notably the first translator of Hazrat Sultan Bahu ® to urdu language from original persian language.

[Just to add the "only" second translator of Hazrat Sultan Bahu ® books from Persian (original language) to urdu was Dr KB Naseem ® (he too passed away a few years back) his translations of the Hazrat Sultan Bahu ® book is the most accurate as he further collected the original work(books) of Sultan Bahu ® books and looked at all the different versions he had and put forth the most authentic version of the books and made the translations to Urdu Language]

About Zaheer Abbas? Well he is the ONLY translator that has taken this work of translation further with adding the Translations of all the Sultan Bahu ® books from Urdu to "English" Language. You can find his work in online website related to Hazrat Sultan Bahu.

To point the books are special works associated directly with Sultan Bahu ® and reading them has spiritual benefits such as spiritual enlightenment experienced by friends of Allah and similarly the translations too are notably remarkable piece of efforts and work and the Translators themselves are the first of the beneficiaries from the Translations as both in case of Hazrat Faqeer Noor Muhammad Kalachvi ® and Dr KB Naseem ® Stated they received spiritual blessings just by the translating the Works of the Great Islamic Mystic.

Hope this has been to some beneficence to you and a pleasure to read and an acknowledgement.

Note: Sultan Bahu ® never desired money, pomp or fame but to publicise free reading of his work (online link) within the Article: Sultan Bahu ® (Biography) supposedly should be okay? As it adds valuable reference to the Work of Great Sufi Mystic.

Thank You.

@Bulleh Shah: Book translators do not usually become notable just because they translated a notable book or "took good effort"; please take a long look at WP:NPERSON. I suggest you also stop misusing the ® mark should only be used for trademarks or wordmarks registered with relevant government authorities; see also Registered trademark symbol. Human names are normally not registrable. — kashmiri ^TALK 12:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

You Should acknowledge what i had already written : Faqeer Noor Muhammad Kalachvi ® he's the author of various books notably , IRFAN 1 , IRFAN 2 , MAKHZANUL ASRAR etc (other than Sultan Bahu ra Books translations) further you can find documentary on this Blessed Sufi Personality on youtube he had taken veil from this temporary abode a long ago i.e decades. The mentioned personality's contributions are very notable and influential among people in the sub-continent as well as over the globe.

The question you raise if being a translator holds any significance then you should note they have translated the books of Hazrat Sultan Bahu ra for whom personality wikipedia already have a article page on the site so its very relevant and appropriate to recognise these personality's are notable in regards they have translated the works of SULTAN BAHU ra.

Moreover being a translator you should be able to comprehend they are actually termed the AUTHOR for Urdu/English Books of Sultan Bahu ra.

The things i have written are FACTS and what you state is FANTASY FICTION and you should show respect and HONOUR to personality's that are revered and honoured by wide masses. You are free to state you'r life contributions amounts to be nothing or not notable according to whatever rule of fantasy world but for other's who have actually achieved a landmark of achievements in their life please refrain from making such an statement.

Note: Don't overdose yourself with wikipedia rules (i.e non-sense ) they like to enshrine a certain president's names but don't want to honour the Name of Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him) or other groups individuals (refer to my talk page).

If you would like to discuss the content, then I see C.Fred (talk · contribs) has already explained you in detail and pointed to relevant policies, especially WP:NPERSON. If you disagree with policies, then your only option is to discuss them with other editors for a possible change, although I would strongy advise against it while you are new to this project. For now, I see no point of further discussion on how a respected person the translator was. — kashmiri ^TALK 14:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

@kashmiri

First i would reiterate there was no personal remarks (as you like to state it as attack?) to you or an another individual however where necessary example has been made to make things more explicit for the greater understanding of the respondent.

I would affirm to my statement in good will the "rule" of wikipedia is biased as C.fred agreed to this ( on my talk page ). The discussion is apparently public and any sane individual can come to this conclusion. So i don't need reference or clarity to whats already very clear and admittedly showing bias towards people of different nationals and background. If If something is allowed for one individual it should be allowed for others and it should not be required to present this as a new case or indulge in opening a new debate or conversation on wikipedia.

Hello, Kashmiri. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

• Wikipedia:Requested moves
• Category:Articles to be moved, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Lord Roem ~ (talk) 05:42, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear Kashmiri, I express ms gratitude for your edit in these sides. There is a little flaw in These sides, which is to mention persons like Sultan masood dakik in this lineage. It Leads to confusion Since Sayyid Mir Hasan is the father of the two Brothers Sayyid Mir Jan and Sayyid Mahmud Agha, Therefore it would be better to terminate the lineage with both Individuals, without mentioning his great Grand nephews, who have nothing to do with these sides. Since you are a Well Known Editor, I Would be Grateful, when you could undertake this proposed edit of mine, because I am not able to do so.

The article Muhammad Shamsuddin Sialvi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. No WP:RS. Already mentioned in Sial Sharif, which is mostly about this subject (without refs).

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. —usernamekiran(talk) 08:46, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Phrases such as "wheelchair bound" have increasingly fallen into disuse because they're pointlessly stigmatising towards disabled people: referring to someone who uses a wheelchair to do many, many things they could not otherwise do as being "bound" to one is not neutral, while "wheelchair user" just states the fact that they use a wheelchair. These guidelines for media reporting on disabled people are one example I found in a quick search of Google, but there are many many others to that effect, and it's commonly discouraged in most places these days. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:50, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

@The Drover's Wife: Okay, then why don't you doublecheck what precisely you reverted? FYI, there was not a single "wheelchair bound".

Also, I think discussions should continue where they started; this one did not start on my Talk page. — kashmiri ^TALK 22:53, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

No, you changed it to "dependent", which has the exact same problem. I'm not sure why you think that would be different. The Drover's Wife (talk) 22:58, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Oh yes, because it is not the same. Just like being a "ventilator user" and being "ventilator dependent" are not the same. Or, "electricity user" and "electricity dependent". FYI, wheelchair dependent is perfectly acceptable in the UK.

BTW, we don't talk about "disabled people" in the UK; only about people with disabilities. — kashmiri ^TALK 23:06, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

You may think it is perfectly acceptable; your own government's guidelines on referring to people with disabilities explicitly state otherwise. Oops. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:58, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

So judging from your revert, you maintain that "wheelchair bound" is more acceptable than "wheelchair dependent", a term used frequently in technical and medical literature? BTW, note the difference between UK and Canadian guidelines you quoted. — kashmiri ^TALK 00:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Pls, stop edit warring see (3RR), the list of 'minority languages' is based on formal recognition by the Polish government and it does not include Silesian for example, which in this case is still debated (if it's a language or a dialect). Also, this is a short-hand list, because it's in the info box (designed to only provide a snap-shot of basic facts about a country), so the reader can read about all the languages in Poland or dialects on the Languages of Poland page. --E-960 (talk) 20:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

@E-960: Can you explain why you keep pushing Hungarian in, even though it is not a language spoken in Poland nor has it any official recognition there? And why you are removing other officially recognised languages, despite the source mentioning them? WP:CHERRY is not allowed here. — kashmīrī ^TALK 20:42, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, you got the wrong person, it's user Perunslava that keeps doing that and I keep reverting his edits. --E-960 (talk) 20:43, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

True, it was another editor with Hungarian. But you keep deleting officially recognised minority languages, like Russian, Slovakian, Lithuanian. Any specific reason for cherry-picking only 7 out of 16? — kashmīrī ^TALK 20:49, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Also, I will say again... this list does not include all 15 'national minority' language and 'ethnic minority' language in order to avoid an info box that is excruciatingly long (this is a longstanding approach) — then another editor will come by and will want to list all 23 minority groups in Poland in the info box. (That's why you have the link to the full article — all this is not meant for the info box) --E-960 (talk) 20:55, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

16 words is hardly "excruciatingly long". Sure, Indonesia and China had to shorten their lists, but both articles include wikilinks to respective language lists. India features a good approach for shorter lists like we have in Poland. But what you did under Poland is (1) misleading, because it appears as a complete list, (2) badly sourced, because the linked source does not confirm the preceding statement. — kashmīrī ^TALK 21:04, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

First off, this list is from long before I started editing, second you want to change it start a discussion on talk page, third look at list of languages in articles for France or Germany, they don't even bother listing minority languages (and in the case of Poland no minority language is of any significance over 1%). So, you and user Perunslava are really creating an issue over something very minor. Perhaps, if you on first take did the India approach I could understand it, but instead I had to reverse nonsense based on criteria decided by user Perunslava such as 'mixed marriages'. --E-960 (talk) 21:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

• Btw, are you going to do the same for the 'ethnic groups' just so the languages and groups sections correlate (list everything including percent) instead of this silly cherry picking that I was left reverting?? --E-960 (talk) 21:21, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on INC Research, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it 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 "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. 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. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:34, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Kashmiri,

The BioMed Central logo needs to be replaced with a new one with the same rights as the previous. I have tried to upload the new logo, but don't see the rights that seem applicable. Could you advise how I might be able to send the replacement? Thank you for your time. BMCDeb (talk) 13:01, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

@BMCDeb: It looks like it would be too simple for copyright, even by UK standards, although I'd appreciate if you could confirm as you seem to be affiliated with BMC. If it is indeed too simple, then it should go to Wikimedia Commons as {{PD-Textlogo}}.

Anyhow, I have now uploaded it to Commons:File:BioMed_Central_2018.svg, hope it is ok with you. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Plan 9 (startup incubator). Because you're involved in Pakistani-related articles in recent time so, you're invited to participate to get a thorough consensus. Störm (talk) 07:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:PRA Health Sciences.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
