Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

-:Well they hit a stalemate.  The issue relates to if the F1 interest group can override the convention of self-identification.  It seems a characteristic of such groups that they seek conformity and structure (knowing some of the cognitive science which goes with this I can see why) so are not open to compromise.   Its festered for a bit as far as I can see.  Its worth a look as the issue is likely to come up in other contexts. -----[[User:Snowded|<b style="color: #801818; font-family: Papyrus;">Snowded</b>]] <sup>[[User talk:Snowded#top|<small style="color: #708090; font-family: Baskerville;">TALK</small>]]</sup> 09:18, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

-== [[Terrorism in Pakistan]] ==
+== ''The Signpost'': 12 December 2024 ==
-I don't particularly care for the outcome of this dispute, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Terrorism_in_Pakistan&diff=868991823&oldid=868990682 your recent removal] is somewhat aggressive. Religion, or religious zealotry,  undeniably plays a role in terrorism within Pakistan, whether it is the cause of terrorism or whether terroristic acts target certain religious adherents. A section on religious opinions in Pakistan would thus be relevant. A small section, as introduced by Karumari, may be inherently unbalanced but since Wikipedia is a work in progress, I don't see that as necessarily problematic since it will be expanded later. Even now-lengthy articles have been started with as little as one sentence. [[User:Buddytula|Buddytula]] ([[User talk:Buddytula|talk]]) 19:00, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
