Hi. Just so you know, the Wikipedia manual of style says you do not put links into section headings. Thanks. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 22:14, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, I've seen this style on numerous American articles therefore I had no idea. So I guess I got misguided. Sorry :) (Watercolor121 (talk) 22:16, 9 September 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Hey..just remember, when you create articles, don't forget to add them into categories i.e. Origins of Lahore into Category:History of Lahore etc. This makes them indexed with relevant topics, and they can also be easily found. Mar4d (talk) 01:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the tip! I'm in the process of editing it. It looks like a mess right now. (Watercolor121 (talk) 06:49, 10 September 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I regret that I had to remove the two new text sections you added to Charing Cross, Lahore because they were copied from a source. That's a WP:copyvio -- something Wikipedia cannot allow. --Orlady (talk) 16:25, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, what do you mean by copied from a source? Plus I did not understand the relevance of it with the link you posted (Watercolor121 (talk) 16:48, 10 September 2010 (UTC))[reply]

The sections that you added were copied verbatim from http://www.dawn.com/2003/09/21/fea.htm . That's a copyright violation (in addition to being simple plagiarism). I don't know what you mean about "the relevance of it with the link you posted". Are you referring to the link to WP:copyvio? --Orlady (talk) 17:16, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I was.

Hmmm... That page is complicated, isn't it? (I think it was easier to read in the past.) The key point related to your edits is "Material copied from sources that are not public domain or compatibly licensed without the permission of the copyright holder (unless brief quotation used in accordance with non-free content policy and guideline) is likely to be a copyright violation." See WP:Copy-paste for a more straightforward explanation. --Orlady (talk) 02:53, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, now I get it. Thanks for the guidance UTC :) (Watercolor121 (talk) 05:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Just dropped by to say that your contributions to the Lahore-related articles is greatly appreciated! User:Mar4d beat me to awarding you a barnstar! utcursch | talk 16:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Sorry for late response. I am still in a bad flu and hence not very much active here. You asked me about the Lahore template expansion. I know that Karachi template is huge but if you look closely it is full of crap and hardly anything interesting. In fact, template about cities are discouraged on wikipedia. Even if there are such templates, we are advised to keep them short as possible. There is no template about topics on Tokyo in Japan, or Seoul in South Korea. There are templates about Berlin in Germany and London of England, but they are concise and short. Short templates are done because it makes the city more interesting to new readers. For example, someone from USA, who has never learned much about Lahore, visits Lahore article and find few interesting articles from the Lahore template. If s/he is overloaded with a huge navigational box, s/he would not be interested anymore because of confusion. It is just like this, if you find a huge book about chemistry in a book shop, you would feel an immediate dislike for it. Right? You would tend to go for a more concise book on the shelf instead.

Templates of India (such as template:Delhi) and Pakistan (such as the Karachi one) seldom follow these concise patterns because inhabitants of these countries (we), feel almost too proud of ourselves that we fail to follow common standards and criteria in our contributions. So lets keep the Lahore template short in order to make it more useful for new learners of Lahore. I hope this helped. Thank you.

Recently, you did an undiscussed and copy pasted move of the article to a new title. This has two problems: first, by copy pasting the content to new title, you effectively removed all edit history. Second, you did not show a rationale for the move, nor any references that the new title (i.e., one sans the periods) is the correct one. I have reverted your changes. If you want to move, please at least start a discussion on the article talk page. --Ragib (talk) 11:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
