The Force is not magic
- Just because someone uses the word "energy" doesn't mean they aren't talking about magic. Most people who use the word "energy" don't know what energy is. Just look at how New Agers use it. Serendious 13:14, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- To editor Serendipodous: Telekinesis is a common theme in science fiction. See X-Men or the Outer Limits as examples. Also check the commentaries on Ewoks: Caravan of Courage or Ewoks: Battle for Endor. These sci-fi fantasy films where their supernatural elements are distinguished from the force.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- The boundary between scifi and fantasy is blurry; superhero stories in particular owe more to Samson and Hercules than they do to HG Wells or Jules Verne. Serendious 17:38, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- To editor Serendipodous:, I'm not sure I agree about the boundary, but I agree more or less on the superhero part taking inspirations from fantasy. Thor is right out of that era. As in Thor (Marvel comics).--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 05:01, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Can I ask a favour?
Before you make another edit to Harry Potter influences and analogues, please watch this short Youtube video.
Also, your edits are shifting dangerously close to "How JK Rowling ripped off Star Wars," which is a fairly blatant POV. Serendious 13:14, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- To editor Serendipodous:, I did not change the text of the article, I simply updated the format of the references. All of them are reliably sourced. I'll watch the video. What exactly is your concern?--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 16:54, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- Mainly I want you to consider the Hero's Journey. I'm not trying to stand up for Harry Potter here, but if you were to bring up Hero's Journey elements in contrast to Star Wars, you could just as easily argue that Star Wars stole from The Lord of the Rings, or that Lord of the Rings stole from Beowulf, or that Beowulf stole from the Odyssey, or that the Odyssey stole from the Epic of Gilgamesh. Serendious 17:41, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
- To editor Serendipodous:, I looked at the video and learned nothing new. The hero's journey is something I'm familiar with and a hero with a thousand faces too. It's already mentioned that Star Wars is inspired by King Arthur, Bewulf and Lord of the Rings. I'm not familiar with Bewulf and only vaguely familiar with Lord of the Rings, but it's borrowings are listed. As long as everything is reliably sourced, I still don't see what the issue is.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 01:30, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

You're a really confused person
You just are. First you delete Arabized from Urdu. The YOU say, that "Oh it is Arabized, but it's via the Persianization—well some parts of it". LOL RaviVery (talk) 00:31, 12 August 2017 (UTC) RaviVery (talk) 00:31, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
- Not sure what you are trying to get at. It did come via Persian and is simply a result of Persianization.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 02:55, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
It is Arabised. Get that thru your head. RaviVery (talk) 23:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC) RaviVery (talk) 23:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Yo
Yo man could you go over to the Al-Khalid tank and talk page and clear up all the confusion over there.
- Thank you for messaging. Although I'm not too big of a military buff (I am interested in paramilitaries & police forces though), I'll have a look later on.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 23:54, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

PIA template
I've created a navigation box for PIA at Template:Pakistan International Airlines. I've added the most suitable pic I could find, however feel free to suggest or replace with any better images you might know of. Cheers, Mar4d (talk) 06:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- To editor Mar4d:, thank you for this message. The previous image, while excellent in quality was of the Airbus 310-300, which is no longer in use with PIA. But that's not the reason I replaced it. The image was already in use elsewhere. I tend to avoid recycling images. But because this is a template and not an article, I am okay with replacing the older image. Feel free to add it back in if you wish. It was a great choice by the way.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 03:58, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- @NadirAli: Thanks for your input, I appreciate it :) I'm not much of an expert on aviation, so was having a tough time locating good aircraft pics on Commons. I seem to like this image especially as it captures the entire aircraft as opposed to the previous one, which was slightly cropped. However, the one downside I guess is the dark/cloudy backdrop which seems to add too much contrast. If you know of any clear, sky-blue pics, I'd love to see them. What I have in mind are like the ones used on Template:Royal Brunei Airlines, Template:Emirates Group, Template:Garuda Indonesia, Template:Malaysia Airlines etc. Thanks for your help regardless! Mar4d (talk) 04:08, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- I guess I should've looked a little harder. This category has some good ones. Mar4d (talk) 04:17, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

- To editor Mar4d:, darn I was too ignorant. A brighter one was right next to it. I'm replacing it now.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 04:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
