Mansoor Ijaz article

Dear Mr Ijaz

I am glad that you are satisfied with recent edits to the Misplaced Pages article regarding you, in order to keep up with what seems to many motorsport fans as an extremely drawn-out and unsettling saga. Thank you for the link to your interview regarding the Quantum/LotusF1 deal as published at Grandprix247.

I am sure that you, more than anyone, wish for the LotusF1 transaction to reach a speedy conclusion to avoid further doubt of your word and to start yielding the intended benefits.

A key requirement of information conveyed in Misplaced Pages is that it is verifiable, a measure designed to provide a degree of quality control in a project that welcomes all to contribute - by requiring reputable published sources to support assertions. It is therefore appreciated if you can continue to provide such hyperlinks if you wish to correct any future factual errors.

It will be a pleasure to trim the Formula One section of the Misplaced Pages article once the affair reaches a conclusion and the ins and outs along the way can be seen in a historical context.

Kind regards

Mansoor Ijaz, you are invited to the Teahouse

Not a webhost

A word of advice

It is inadvisable to use words like 'libel' or 'slander' on Misplaced Pages - we have a strict policy of blocking from editing persons making what are perceived to be legal threats - see WP:NLT. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Mansoor Ijaz. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NeilN 05:06, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Mansoor Ijaz. We welcome your contributions to Misplaced Pages, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mansoor Ijaz, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Misplaced Pages's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. NeilN 05:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Misplaced Pages. However, please remember that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors on Mansoor Ijaz. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Mansoor Ijaz shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Drmies (talk) 05:15, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
