Re. your concern

Hi! Sorry about the inconvenience; the service is still available to registered users like yourself. Logging in is actually to your advantage since you and not your IP is given credit for your edits. I'll unblock the range, but please note that it may have to be reblocked if that vandal decides to return. He's under a hard ban from this site. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 14:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Dar ul Islam Journal.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:45, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Could you clarify how you created the image by yourself? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:38, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

That's great. Could you note this in the image description? There is a slight difference between owning and creating an image (and if you did both, do clarify that too). If you could expand the description (year taken, place, other people) - it would be great, too. Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:01, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
Will do that. Thanks for the guidance. Poloplayers (talk) 18:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Information icon Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to List of active Pakistan Air Force aircraft, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Edit like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_active_Pakistan_Air_Force_aircraft&diff=1074058006&oldid=1074037367 - which makes no sense and contradictory to the truth https://www.defensenews.com/global/asia-pacific/2022/03/15/how-is-pakistans-military-equipment-affected-by-the-russian-invasion/ - would be considered as disruptive editing. So please refrain from it. FoxtAl (talk) 05:18, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder. 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:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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. BilCat (talk) 19:44, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited TAI Anka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kamra. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ  Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

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:

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.

Information icon Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

  1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles.

Also, defencesecurityasia.com is unlikely to be a reliable source (WP:RS). Anonymous authors are typically a a bad sign, as are about pages for publishers that say absolutely nothing concerning the credentials of its staff. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 22:45, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

The World Destubathon

Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Information icon Hello, I'm Fifteen thousand two hundred twenty four. An edit that you recently made to CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is usually unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
