If we were already talking on this page but the conversation is gone:
you'll find our conversation in one of the archives unless you were rude. You can revive it by creating a new discussion here and linking it to the archive and you can even move it back with attribution in edit summaries if you were civil.
If I have left you a message on your talk page, you can reply there, but remember to add a {{tb|<replace this with your username>|ts=~~~~~}} template to my talk page because I might not be watchlisting your talkpage if we don't interact regularly. I will do the same for you if you ask me to or if you have not recently commented on my talkpage in the discussion.

Removing POV tags
Just a suggestion: if someone adds a POV tag to an article, and doesn't appear to be making any attempt to discuss, you could try to start the discussion on your own on the talk page. I would not suggest removing problem tags until the other person clearly is not going to discuss it, even after you've made an attempt. Assuming good faith compels us to believe that Darkness Shines believes there is a serious problem with the article but perhaps lacks the time (or energy) to post a proper explanation on the talk page.

- The issue disputed on talk page was of a section below which already had a tag. I do assume good faith for every one making edits, but this one has a context. Inter-Services Intelligence was tag bombed by the same user (even after I added his edits back myself) and still stays so - and I didn't remove those since the user was repeatedly adding them. This one appeared similar drive by tagging. Even though I removed the tag, I explained it properly in the edit summary, but I'll start a discussion myself next time before removing tags (I have done that on the previous page mentioned too with no result other than "the tags will stay or I'll revert"). --lTopGunl (talk) 20:15, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Image balance
Got a better idea with photos. See Talk:Pakistan#Using the switch feature for images. Mar4d (talk) 03:09, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Checking and replying there. --lTopGunl (talk) 03:12, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've tried the switch in my sandbox but it doesn't seem to be working... you might want to test it. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:15, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I was just about bring this up on Talk:Pakistan. I'm still trying to understand how this function apparently works, and from what I gather, the photos don't necessarily change every time the page is loaded. I just refreshed the India article several times, only to find the same pictures. Whenever I open up the page after a couple of hours or minutes though, then I notice some of the images changing. I think we should ask somewhere as to how frequently the images rotate in this function, maybe at Talk:India. Mar4d (talk) 10:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Talk:India will only be useful if the adding editors are still there. WP:Help desk would be the right place. I'll try checking its values till then. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:27, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, it changed once in my sandbox. I think it depends on number of loads. Here's the help page. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:30, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've posted a thread anyway at the Help desk. Let's see what anyone else might have to say about it. Mar4d (talk) 10:37, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, keeping a tab on that. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Lol.....just saw the help page you linked. Almost felt like vomiting after trying to read all the complicated alien codes. Mar4d (talk) 10:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Haha. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:44, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

- Just saw the thread at the Help desk. Oh well, something is always better than nothing; it's not like there needs to be a new picture every time the page is loaded, a periodic basis is fine like the way it happens at the Indian article. I'll come up with my viewpoints on what pics are appropriate for the article some time soon. Mar4d (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, it will do. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:40, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Btw, is it just my mind playing tricks with me, or have you really been online for the past full 24 hours? :o Mar4d (talk) 14:34, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Lol, I have.... :p --lTopGunl (talk) 14:40, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Unbelievable!.......gotta give you full credit for your Wikipediholism. Mar4d (talk) 15:11, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Haha.... will be busy now for a week so now a few times a day maybe. --lTopGunl (talk) 15:39, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Weird stuff
Hi, I'm experiencing some technical issue with the search box. When I put in a search term, I'm not getting any search results for it but just the usual line You may create the page but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered. Are you having anything similiar on your computer? Just want to confirm whether it's an issue on my side... Mar4d (talk) 09:02, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, it's working fine. By pass your cache (Ctrl+⇧ Shift+R) and then try. Tried any instant search results that drop out? --lTopGunl (talk) 09:06, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, not working. Thanks for the tip though; I'll try and see some assistance up at the technical help section of Village pump. Mar4d (talk) 09:18, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, try help desk as well.. that is more active. --lTopGunl (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's working again, all good. Mar4d (talk) 09:57, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Cache? --lTopGunl (talk) 09:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I tried the keys you mentioned above and deleted my browsing history a couple of times. After a while, it just started working again. I have no idea what really caused the strange behaviour. Mar4d (talk) 10:01, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Happens with corrupted cache. No worries. --lTopGunl (talk) 10:06, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Templates?
Why is it not allowed to template your talk page while you appear to think it ok to plaster the mall over mine? And please do not make accusations of edit warring when I have not broken 3RR. Thank you. Darkness Shines (talk) 14:54, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, your page is the last place where I'd want to edit... but that was a pre-requisite for AN3, --lTopGunl (talk) 16:04, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Please amend your statement on Indo-Pakistani Air War of 1965 The history clearly shows only two reverts against the IP. Either provide diffs or do not post statements which can easily shown to be wrong. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- The same for Separatist movements of India There are but two reverts to that article. Darkness Shines (talk) 18:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I count 4 at 65 war and 3 at separatist movement (inclusive of reverts to anyone other than IP). The admin will be able to count for himself. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:19, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
