Replaceable fair use File:Conservatives-SayeedaWarsi.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Conservatives-SayeedaWarsi.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 21:41, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
File source problem with File:S_Hashwani.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:S_Hashwani.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

File permission problem with File:Best-one.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Best-one.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 21:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Image uploads
[edit]Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. O Fenian (talk) 16:39, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Blocked
[edit]{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Flyguy649 talk 17:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC)- Can someone also explain to me what is meant by an indefinate block ? (Does that mean I cant ever edit again) ?
- Indefinite does not mean infinite it just means until an admin is happy that the issue you were blocked for will not recur. Nev1 (talk) 18:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Nev, Does anyone know how long this block will last, or when an admin may become satisfied that this won't recur ? Sansonic (talk) 18:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Chances are you will have to explain exactly what you did wrong, and promise not to do it again. That may or may not be enough, though I doubt it, since copyright problems are one of the most serious problems on the project. The fact that you were warned many times before seems to be the main reason that you got an indef block. If you were to voluntarily agree to a complete ban from image uploads, I have little doubt that you would be unblocked. Sodam Yat (talk) 18:48, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- I was only given one warning and that was by Feyday. I also think that I should have been given a temporary (eg 24hour) block first as a warning. I am also now pressuming that this block is forever.Sansonic (talk) 01:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I count nine notifications about source problems on this page, with another seven in your archive. Of those sixteen, fourteen of them have been deleted since then. While they were not warnings, most people, seeing that often, would understand that they are doing something wrong. At this point, the block is forever, but as I said before, you can change that. Simply acknowledging your mistake won't do it alone, but it is a good start. Sodam Yat (talk) 06:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand why what you did was bad. You were breaking the law. Unfortunately, since we are all fairly anonymous, the responsibility for it falls with Wikipedia itself. If users did not report and try to stop it, the people that actually own the images could sue Wikipedia, and that could destroy the encyclopedia forever. I truly do hope you get unblocked, and am willing to help, but so long as you persist in this attitude of playing the victim and not acknowledging your mistakes, there's nothing else to do. Sodam Yat (talk) 16:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Images which I uploaded were allowed for non commercial use/educational use, so what I did wasn't against British Law. However, many images that I uploaded were against Wikipedia rules, I now understand that not all non commercial use/educational use photographs are free for use on Wikipedia. I was also wrong to add false tags to some images. Thank You Sodem, for your willingness to help me. Sansonic (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Your block, however, has an undefined end. We'll need a reason to put an end date on the block. TNXMan 21:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Sansonic, sad to see you end up getting yourself blocked again. To get unblocked, you need to acknowledge that you were repeatedly uploading images in violation of copyright, and you must pledge to only upload images in accordance with Wikipedia's image policies. And don't complain about the actions of other editors, see WP:NOTTHEM. Fences&Windows 14:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- As always Fences, thanks for your advice. I was hoping that you could advise me and I am lucky that you have seen this. I do acknowledge uploading images that were only for non commercial use, putting the wrong tag on images and not fully understanding copyrights. I have never knowingly wanted to upset or offend anybody, by uploading images or otherwise. I am sorry for any wrong that I have done, these were mistakes and nothing done on purpose. Due to the complex rules of image uploading, I doubt that I will want to upload any pictures again. The fact that some images I uploaded took so long to delete made it feel like I did nothing wrong. Therefore, I think that all new images uploaded on Wikipedia should be approved by an admin before they are allowed to be put up. I know that there may be too many to approve, but this could be done systematically with random images being chosen for checks. Sansonic (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- If you'd like to formally request an unblock using the template, please do so after the weekend. I don't think that it would be well received by others if I unblocked you now. An acknowledgement of your mistakes in image uploading is welcome. Your wariness in further image uploading is wise: if you are going to upload any in future, then carefully read Wikipedia:Image use policy, and if in doubt seek advice from me or others. Wikipedia is a balance between trusting people and monitoring them, it might well be the case that there needs to be greater scrutiny of image uploads, but that takes a lot of time, and might delay uploaded images appearing on the site. Fences&Windows 21:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think I should sit it out for a while then request an unblock. Sansonic (talk) 23:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

- Will you accept a 6 month restriction from uploading files to Wikipedia and/or Commons? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 13:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I have in the past uploaded one or two fair use logos and they havn't been deleted because they are just that, fair use. But in terms of uploading pictures, I can have a restriction for 6 months if you say so. But, I have discussed with another admin on this page that another way is for me to simply seek advice before each upload, for the near future. Either way I am now more cautious of uploading images. Sansonic (talk) 17:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I have now unblocked this account. For the next six months if you want to upload an image then you can check with me or seek advice at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests. This will give adequate time to become completely familiar with the WP:IUP. Note that if you do upload further images in violation of their licenses, you are likely to be blocked for an extended period. Fences&Windows 22:32, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Netwatan
[edit]Hi its Aayan1, you have always helped me telling different thing and improving Mian Muhammad Mansha's and Nishat Group's Article, no i have created an article Netwatan through Wikipedia Wizard, so its my request to you to review the article and to tell me if there is something wrong in it which could lead to its deletion. I am asking to review that article because there is tag on the top of that page which is saying this article should be reviewed by any other user of wikipedia rather than its own creator.

British Pakistanis
[edit]Hi there, I've just reviewed British Pakistanis against the GA criteria and unfortunately it doesn't meet them at this time. I've left a more detailed review at the review page. I would very much recommend, after dealing with any issues I've mentioned, that you take the article to peer review before another nomination. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, --BelovedFreak 13:13, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank You for taking the time to review the article, I appreciate the time that you have put in. I have also taken note of the advice you have given, I hope to do deal with some of the issues myself and let other Wikipedians help with several other issues, it will take time to get right but im sure that it can be done. Thanks, Sansonic (talk) 11:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
You requested some help with Copy Edits. I started with the lead section, which im my mind neeeded a complete rewrite to summarize the article. The lead is more traditional now, but really could use more work. My problem is cultural as I am a Californian with little understanding of your topic. This can be a blessing and a curse, as sometimes a fresh set of eyes without cultural bias can be effective. However, I'm a bit handicapped by a lack of context for some of the content. I suggest that you take further steps to incorporate the changes suggested at the GA review. I am happy to help you with questions of style and grammar, just leave a message if you need help. Please feel free to revert my changes if you don't feel these are improvements. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 22:47, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thank You for rewritting the lead section. Having little knowledge of this particular topic should be a benefit because, as you say, it allows the article to keep a neutral point of view. I plan to start work on the GA review list sometime soon. Sansonic (talk) 18:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

- Great, thanks. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:16, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- You might also need to take more care with edits such as this, where you removed the URL and title from the Ager reference. I presume that this was a mistake rather than intentional. Cordless Larry (talk) 23:58, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- The Peer review suggests that Google Book previews are "incomplete and unstable", making bad permanent references. This was the reason why I removed the link to Google Books.--Sansonic (talk) 12:25, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Copy edit
[edit]Hello, as requested at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests the article British Pakistanis has been copy edited. My comments are: I feel there are still some POV issues with this article, I have not made many changes in this respect but you may wish to have a read through and see if you agree. If you intend to send the article to GA or FA then the article's writing style will need to fully comply with WP:NPOV. Best wishes Pol430 talk to me 18:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, an old GA review shows that the article passed the NPOV check. But the article has changed since then and I will still have a look through. Thank you for taking the time to copy edit this article though.--Sansonic (talk) 14:17, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Copyright problem: British Pakistanis
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as British Pakistanis, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Part of this article appears to be a copy from http://www.bury.gov.uk/CommunityAndLiving/FaithsBeliefsAndReligions/CelebrationOfBury/PakistaniCulture.htm, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy.

- Why is there rather a large copyright tag in the Cuisine section? (the article is due a GA review quite soon) If any perceived copyrighted material has now been deleted then can this tag not therefore be removed?--Sansonic (talk) 16:53, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
- My understanding is that it has to remain in place until an administrator takes a look at it (I think they have to remove the copyrighted material from the article history). The article has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2010 December 30, so it should attract the attention of an administrator soon. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:32, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kashmir Crown Bakeries 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/Kashmir Crown Bakeries until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. Störm (talk) 05:08, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
The article Aleem Iqbal (Lord Aleem) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Being rich and getting into a car crash does not notability make.
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. LadyofShalott 02:03, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:KCB logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:KCB logo.jpg. 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) 18:27, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Aleem Iqbal (Lord Aleem)
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Aleem Iqbal (Lord Aleem), a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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.

Notice that you are now subject to an editing restriction
[edit]Per community consensus in this discussion, you are now topic banned from all articles related to Britain and Pakistan, broadly construed, and from all discussions regarding those topics anywhere on English Wikipedia. When your current block expires, you are free to edit any page that does not fall within the scope of this restriction. Note that violations of the restriction may result in your account being blocked, and any activity which might be seen to be "testing the edges" of the restriction may also be treated as a violation. If you have questions you may wish to read the banning policy or ask for clarification at the administrators' noticeboard. Thank you. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:40, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Please read it carefully and make sure you don't violate your topic ban. Bishonen | talk 15:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC).
Topic ban violation
[edit]Hi. This, and your other edits on British Pakistanis appears to violate the broadly construed part of your topic ban. Pinging @Ivanvector: just to be sure. --regentspark (comment) 14:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- (responding to ping) Yes, editing that article certainly falls within the scope of your topic ban, as the ban discussion was initiated over a complaint of adding unsourced material to articles on Pakistanis in Britain, which is precisely what your three most recent edits have been. This will be your only warning: you are banned from editing any articles or pages about Britain and/or Pakistan. If you do not respect this ban we will start enforcing it with blocks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:11, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Edits such as this are not only a violation of your topic ban, Sansonic, but are an example of the political bias that resulted in that ban in the first place. Please stop this, or I will seek an indefinite block. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:15, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Arnold Saunders
[edit]Hello, Sansonic. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Arnold Saunders".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Snowycats (talk) 17:17, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Unblock discussion
[edit]- RE phone conversation.: No, I think not. Perhaps via email for sensitive content, but as a general rule, Wikipedia discussions need to be in the open and transparent. Wikipedia editors have gotten into real trouble over inappropriate contact. If Fences and windows were to agree, that is their business, but in principle, transparency is essential. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 16:50, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- You seem to be agreeing with ahering to your topic bans and suggesting other things to edit about. I need to review the notice board threads. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 16:53, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Please address the concerns about unsourced content and mislabeling images discussed at ANI --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 17:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- Your user page violates your topic bans. But that was before the current block. SOmeone should have noticed. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 17:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not interested in discussing this by phone. Any other admin can review this block, you don't need to discuss with me. Fences&Windows 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I have volunteered to sit enough time out and have made more effort to be easily contactable than most other Editors so would appreciate a review of this block.--Sansonic (talk) 02:53, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
- Would an end to this current block be conditional on changing my user page and topic limits? --Sansonic (talk) 14:31, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Deepfriedokra and Fences and windows: this is an admin block but it's for repeated violations of a community sanction. A community discussion is required to lift the ban. Technically lifting the block is up to any admin's discretion, but if this was my block (and it nearly was) I would put the appeal to the community.
- As for their user page, the wording of the restriction is articles and related discussions, so I think their own user page is exempt. You might call it testing the edges, though? For comparison this is all the user's userpage edits since the ban was enacted. If you feel it is in violation, maybe Sansonic will agree to have one of us blank it as a courtesy?

- Has not addressed concerns about unsourced content and mislabeling images discussed at ANI Unblock would require doing so. WP:TBAN from all articles related to Britain and Pakistan, broadly construed, and from all discussions regarding those topics anywhere on English Wikipedia would remain. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 18:58, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Ivanvector, this can go to ANI, sure. Sansonic, please prepare an unblock statement to be presented to the community on your behalf. Fences&Windows 19:13, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- Please use my previous statements namely:
I would like to request an unblock because I have in previous years completed large copy-improvements to one or two articles in particular, a previous article I was involved with was passed to GA status and I accept my political bias. The latter issue came about through my support of the current national government and its Leader. I furthermore found it difficult to not work on articles related to Britain given how large the commonwealth is and the former empire but will try in future to look towards other countries. I would like to be given the opportunity to have a telephone conversation with Fences
and
I have volunteered to sit enough time out and have made more effort to be easily contactable than most other Editors so would appreciate a review of this block.
Please also clarify what discussions regarding banned topics means possibly with examples. --Sansonic (talk) 20:35, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
- May I add that I also feel the block which I am still appealing to be WP:UNDUE. --Sansonic (talk) 11:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- If my appeal here continues to get a poor response then I may choose not to carry on asking. --Sansonic (talk) 08:55, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- Unless I've missed something, you don't actually have an unblock request active. That's probably why you're not getting a response. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:02, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- Perhaps Fences and windows could clarify what the plan is for AN/I? Cordless Larry (talk) 09:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- I wasn't pinged and don't check my watchlist much these days, so I had no idea this was pending. I am not willing to speak with Sansonic by phone, so I do not advise including that in an AN/I post. Neither should you refer to UNDUE, which is a content policy and not a behavioural policy. Sansonic, please prepare a suitable statement. Fences&Windows 22:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- Sansonic, your last appeal was declined with an instruction to "formulate an unblock request that addresses your non constructive edits and how you would edit constructively". You have not done so, you just copied and pasted the same request. Also, Fences and windows has said three times now that they're not interested in talking to you on the phone. Nobody cares that you're "easily contactable" when you ignore what everyone is saying anyway. Please write a new unblock request that shows you understand why you were blocked and describes what you will do differently so that you are not blocked again. If you have questions about that please ask, but if you continue not paying attention to any of this and posting the same requests, your talk page access will be revoked for wasting everyone's time.

- I'm afraid I disagree very much with the deletion of articles I have created such as that of Asif Hussain Farooqui, this had broadsheet and academic sources but no strong or transparent answer was ever given. With regards to unblock requests I have already made them so have no further comment to add.--Sansonic (talk) 12:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
