Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Crosji. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Crosji~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Speedy deletion nomination of Fatima Group

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 Fatima Group, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Nomination of Fatima Fertilizer Company for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Fatima Fertilizer Company 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/Fatima Fertilizer Company 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.

Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 12:09, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Fertilizer

The community came to a consensus at the AfD that the subject was insufficiently notable for a standalone article, and collectively decided it would be a reasonable search term instead. Hence the redirect. Please do not keep restoring the article; this both goes against community consensus and could constitute edit warring. If you do it again, I may be forced to request administrative intervention. Cheers, ——Serial 18:49, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

However, the article is now redirected to a page of another company. Fatima is a registered company that is traded on the Karachi Stock Exchange. So the redirection is wrong. I have read only one comment that the article should be forwarded. So why are you talking about a collective decision? --Crosji (talk) 04:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Crosji, The correct course of action here is to file a deletion review, not to edit war with the closing administrator. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Jan Hecker

On 12 September 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Jan Hecker, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. PFHLai (talk) 13:06, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

Reon Energy moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Reon Energy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. TheChronium 08:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

TheChronium, this article has 19 sentences and 14 references. How many more you think are needed for such specific information? Everything written is more or less supported by a reference. I understand, you like to put articles back to draft status but here you could just indicate where references are needed, for others and me to deal with it. Thanks --Crosji (talk) 10:28, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Your move of Ahmad Dawood

Just a heads up, I've reverted your cut-and-paste move at Ahmad Dawood, as this fragments the page history and creates attribution issues. You can put in a request at WP:RM/TR to have the pages moved properly. Thanks – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 18:34, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Lord Bolingbroke, it wasn't necessary to move it back - it's clearly mention to be bold about such obvious moves. However, I requested it, meanwhile it has been excepted and its all done with the entire history of the earlier wrong titled page. You can find it at Ahmed Dawood. Regards. --Crosji (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

I didn't move it back because you never moved the page to begin with; you improperly copied the contents of the page to another title and I reverted. The page has now been moved properly per your request at WP:RM/TR as I suggested. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 16:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021

Hello Crosji. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Crosji. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Crosji|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:52, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

User:Blablubbs To claim I have “an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic” is absurd. I am genuine interested in South Asia and study the region since over two decades. I focus more on Pakistan related articles because the quality isn't that great and many things are not covered. I was reading up a lot about late Ahmed Dawood and learned much about his life and legacy. Hence, I contributed to the already existing article about him. That’s why I started also to write much about everything related to him. The article about The Dawood Foundation was reviewed by User:John B123 and it took me a lot of time to follow his advice to fulfil all the demands not to be tagged advertisement. I don’t understand how it is possible to delete a neutral article about an inspiring organisation in such a rush without any discussion (at least I am not aware of it). First time I contributed to Wikipedia is over 15 years ago and I stopped it for quite a while because of exactly such people like you who destroy motivation and curiosity.--Crosji (talk) 08:25, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for responding. Do you have any other connection to Ahmed Dawood, the Dawood Foundation, or any other affiliated entity or individual? --Blablubbs (talk) 09:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello User:Blablubbs, I have no other connection to Ahmed Dawood. I am randomly spotted his life story and think is was great discovering it from a hobby historian perspective. I guess just because he was prominent long ago and in this part of the world, no greater attention hasn't been paid to it. There are even NYT articles from early 1970s. Wikipedia is a good medium to capture and inform about it. I hope more will be digged out about him from other users. I reached out to the Foundation regarding pictures they have had uploaded on Flickr. That's it. But isn't it the freedom everyone has: Writing about what you want and might be relevant for others? --Crosji (talk) 11:42, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

JavaHurricane 06:48, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi JavaHurricane -- I don’t understand your speedy deletion of the article about The Dawood Foundation. This is a NGO in Pakistan focusing on education. Will you delete now every piece about such NGOs in Pakistan? I am genuine interested in South Asia and continuously study the region and like to share about it. I think particular about Pakistan there are not enough related articles or many of great quality. The article was reviewed by User:John B123 and it took me a lot of time to follow his advice to fulfil all the demands not to be tagged advertisement and neutral. I don’t understand how it is possible to delete an informative and relevant article about an inspiring organisation in such a rush without any discussion (at least I am not aware of it). First time I contributed to Wikipedia is over 15 years ago and I stopped it for quite a while because of exactly such people like you who destroy motivation and curiosity. Kindly let me know how to retrieve "the deleted material for future reference or improvement". --Crosji (talk) 09:00, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Jan Hecker

On 28 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jan Hecker, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Jan Hecker influenced the foreign policy of Angela Merkel? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jan Hecker. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jan Hecker), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Crosji! Your additions to Jinnah Courts have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 16:44, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Sure @Wiae, I am following these practices and will pay more attention. However, I am glad the article still exists. Keep up the good work! Crosji (talk) Crosji (talk) 06:37, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Great to hear, thanks! Happy to help if you have copyright questions. /wiae /tlk 10:50, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Asia Pacific Network of Science and Technology Centres, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Science Museum.

Irresponsible edit

This edit was pretty irresponsible. It looks like you restored an earlier version of the article and made some minor changes to information about the Dawood family, but in the process you wiped out what looks like dozens of small changes introduced in good faith by other editors, and reintroduced a bare URL reference and at least one grammatical error. You also marked the edit as "minor" which is incorrect and could be construed as deliberately misleading. Please don't edit in this fashion. On heavily edited articles, it's almost never appropriate to restore versions that many edits deep in the version history. Thank you. Folly Mox (talk) 17:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Crosji. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page The Dawood Foundation, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —Saqib (talk | contribs) 17:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Saqib, it appears this accusation keeps cropping up, despite having addressed it in 2021. I am far from editing with such intentions and am well-versed in the rules. I genuinely enjoy contributing, especially to articles pertaining to Pakistan and its context. So, no need to worry—I will concentrate on the other 40,000 articles related to Pakistan. ;-) Crosji (talk) 17:33, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not accusing you of anything nor am I suggesting that COI is forbidden. I simply wanted to bring up the importance of transparency. If there is any potential for COI, it's better to disclose it to avoid potential issues in the future. Happy editing! Keep me informed if you encounter any BLP that you believe do not meet WP:N —Saqib (talk | contribs) 17:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Understood, certainly. I genuinely appreciate your recommendation. I will definitely keep you informed about any questionable cases. Crosji (talk) 17:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

WP:OR

@Crosji: Just curious, why are you adding unsourced DoB to a contentious topic like a BLP? —Saqib (talk | contribs) 09:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Good catch @Saqib. Forgot to add the reference. Will do it right away. Crosji (talk) 11:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I didn't anticipate you adding such a dubious non-RS for something as critical as the DoB. —Saqib (talk I contribs) 14:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

And I noticed you changed the DoB after I flagged it. Why are you slipping in WP:OR? —Saqib (talk I contribs) 14:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

@Saqib, upon scrutinising the birth date more closely, I came to the realisation that the sources, particularly the timeline, cannot be accurate. Hence, I opted for the most credible source, a fashion magazine, which aligns with the profession of the fashion designer in question. Using the birth date provided in the magazine as a reference seems logical, don't you think? Crosji (talk) 15:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

It was clearly WP:SELFPUBLISH source. —Saqib (talk I contribs) 15:13, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I'll steer clear of the article; it's not my area anyway. I wasn't aware it was so controversial. Crosji (talk) 15:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Yousuf Bashir Qureshi

Hello - I came across this BLP earlier today. I didn’t want to discourage you, so I didn’t draftified or nominated the BLP for deletion, but I still feel the subject doesn’t meet WP:N. Although there is some coverage, the coverage seems very promotional and doesn’t fulfill GNG. Just wanted to share my 2cents. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 19:27, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Dear Saqib, I saw YBQ perform in a play at NAPA over a year ago, and I was impressed by his artistry. I was surprised to find that there isn't an article about him here. I will be adding more information soon, which is why I tagged it as a stub. He is also involved in films, a topic I haven't covered yet. Thank you for raising your concerns. I will address them in the coming days. Crosji (talk) 05:01, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Almost all NA constituency articles are Start class, low importance. You have been marking all of them stub. They are not stub. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 10:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing up your concern @SheriffIsInTown. Most of the articles were marked as stubs on the main page, why I mirrored that on their respective talk page. Many were also unassessed, and I added a few more details to help provide structure in a systematic manner. Crosji (talk) 05:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

The presence of a stub template in an article doesn't necessarily mean the article is still a stub. It simply indicates that the article was considered a stub when the template was originally added. If the article has been improved since the stub template was placed, the correct approach is to update the article's classification to reflect its current status and remove the stub template. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:00, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@SheriffIsInTown Yes, I agree. Let’s make sure the template and article are in sync. I review both pages to ensure this.

By the way, great progress with the unassessed articles over the past few weeks! Crosji (talk) 02:50, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Abdul Samad Dawood

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 Abdul Samad Dawood 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, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdul Samad Dawood. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, 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.

@Wikishovel why the rush ("speedy") and why is there no proper discussion page for AfD? I seem not to be able to put down reasons to keep the article. Crosji (talk) 07:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. 188.31.32.162 (talk) 20:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

I have no conflict of interest, and I find it absurd to suggest that I have financial motives. This is clearly an attempt to undermine my freedom of choice and control what I write about, despite all my contributions being based on reliable sources. My work is driven solely by a desire to document and shed light on issues that interest me, particularly in South Asia, with a focus on Pakistan. This is not influenced by anyone else’s agenda and certainly not by financial incentives. Regardless of whether an IP-address contributor deems these topics non-notable, my approach remains open and transparent, relying on verifiable and publicly accessible sources.

Not canvassing but

When you flag articles that you think shouldn’t be on Wikipedia, it would be helpful if you also participated in AFD discussions when I initiate them. This can help us achieve a clearer consensus. For example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salma Malik. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 12:32, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
