Hello, I'm Dollyplay. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Farhan Wilayat have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Dollyplay (talk) 07:20, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Farhan Wilayat, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 07:50, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind response. I am a bit new here and I am learning more through my experiences. I was previously sharing small contributions. This time I have created a fresh article. In response to Dollyplay's observation, I added External ARticles as evidences; so I thought those will suffice the requirement. Can you please check the draft and share your guidelines. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 07:54, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Farhan Wilayat. Thanks! Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 15:48, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much Nomadicghumakkad for the guidance. I have shortened the list of external links. Now, only 3 links (of GNN Channel, NEO News, and SAMAA News) are listed there as evidences of that person's work. Once again thanks. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dr Paul Harrison, this has merit under WP:NBIO. But will need to be fixed. Can you remove all sources that are not about him directly? Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 23:42, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nomadicghumakkad, thanks for your kind response. All these external references are directly about him/ his projects. (I thats why mentioned them as evidences as the official teams of 3 different channels visited those projects and shared verified reports, so these are for evidence purpose only). Once again thanks for your support and guidance. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 06:54, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nomadicghumakkad, please I need an additional guidance. I shared the references about four different events happened in Pakistan (including "Lahore church bombings", "religious discrimination", "sectarian violence", and "forced conversion of minority girls in Pakistan") as evidences of those incidences. Do you mean I should remove their references (as those reference are not about Farhan Wilayat, those references are those unpleasant/ terrorism activities happened in Pakistan). Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 07:11, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, please remove those to start with. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 16:30, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Farhan Wilayat (October 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

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.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Many of the sources are either written by him, are only brief mentions or do not mention him at all (ex. Express Tribune, BBC, etc.). The first source is a blog which is not reliable. While he has received several awards or recognition, none of them confer notability.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Farhan Wilayat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Farhan Wilayat, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 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.

S0091 (talk) 21:11, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear S0091, Thanks for your detailed message but let me try to explain a few points in response to your observations:

Point 1: Your observation [Many of the sources are either written by him, are only brief mentions or do not mention him at all (ex. Express Tribune, BBC, etc.)] My explanation: You will notice that I have mentioned that the said social activist organizes => a. interviews, b. trips, c. tours, d. discussions/ meetings etc. for promotion of interfaith harmony. Obviously, he organized those interviews and visits, so the relevant web pages evidencing the interviews/ discussions/ tours etc. conducted by him were added as reference/ evidence. Secondly, you said some sources did not mention him at all. In this regard, you will notice that I mentioned some seriously unpleasant incidences happened in Pakistan by the extremist people which made him start these interfaith activities. Those references were mentioned as evidences of extremist activities in Pakistan (like bomb explosions, church attacks, forced conversions etc.). He is of course not behind all those extremist activities, thats why he was not mentioned in those pages. Those references were only the to identify the violence in Pakistan. Point 2: While he has received several awards or recognition, none of them confer notability. My explanation: Many of those awards have own wikipedia pages, including Kentucky Colonel, Gusi Prize and Wolf Award. Gusi Peace Prize is being given by the President of Philippines and Kentucky Colonel is given by the Governor of Kentucky. Wolf Award was first given to Nelson Mandela. After achieving recognition from UK, Canada, USA, Philippines and Italy, I am wondering if he still does not hold any notable award. However, I shall try my level best to make meaningful changes in that article as per the advices and instructions. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 14:27, 3 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Dr Paul Harrison. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Farhan Wilayat, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
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. S0091 (talk) 21:26, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021

Hello, Dr Paul Harrison, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as RedMiNote (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 22:15, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Theroadislong, link of ArabNews has been removed. Actually, I mentioned the unpleasant and miserable situation of religious minorities in Pakistan and to verify that fact, I mentioned the reference of ArabNews article along with that statement. However, I have removed it as per instructions. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 04:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Farhan wilayat moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Farhan wilayat, 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.

Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 18:18, 3 March 2022 (UTC) Can you recommend it for Speedy Deletion?[reply]

March 2022

Hello Dr Paul Harrison. 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:Dr Paul Harrison. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dr Paul Harrison|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. GPL93 (talk) 17:00, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 18:19, 3 March 2022 (UTC) Nobody gives me even a single penny to work on wikipedia. I don't think wikipedia can benefit anyone in financial terms.[reply]

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:30, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind message and instructions. Actually that website (wealthmanagement.bnpparibas.co.in) directly belongs to BNP Paribas. I therefore didn't know that retrieving information about BNP Paribas Award for the Wikipedia page of BNP Paribas will be a kind of violation of copyrights. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 12:08, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Reema Khan, you may be blocked from editing. --Hipal (talk) 18:42, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you are doing well. You should understand a fact that I am currently in learning phase. I am not an expert or exponent of Wikipedia. I shall definitely make mistakes and then will learn through my mistakes. So, instead of threatening me, you should guide me in polite way. As far as my write up was concerned; I added everything in that page with proper references. I did not add anything without any reference. Third thing is... you should give me another chance. I shall make necessary changes in my previous edit and will let you know to re-visit the page. Hope you will understand this and will give me another chance. Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 09:38, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good Noon, I have made some changes in my edits. Please check. Are those edits OK now? Dr Paul Harrison (talk) 10:05, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest avoiding biographical information, which requires a very good understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Hipal (talk) 17:21, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Gusi Peace Prize 2019.jpg
