Welcome!
Welcome to Misplaced Pages, 0qd! Thank you for your contributions. I am Majun e Baqi and I have been editing Misplaced Pages for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Misplaced Pages:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Majun e Baqi (talk) 18:06, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

You left a message on my talk page
Hello! I just saw a message by you on my talk page. You said that you are very familiar with Baloch history, then you asked me to to make a page on Baloch Khan. I can make that page if you want me to, but first I’ll need some info to put in it. Kindly tell me all the basic stuff to include in the article and then I’ll make the article or else it may get removed quickly. I’ll be waiting for your reply. :) Mowahid Mohsin (talk) 23:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Mowahid Mohsin: Hi! Sorry, that was actually 185.69.186.123 who left that message which I accidentally reverted. Apologies for the confusion. 0qd (talk) 23:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Oh ok, thanks for your guidance. Mowahid Mohsin (talk) 23:45, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Holdfast (disambiguation)
Please note that disambiguation pages like Holdfast (disambiguation) are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:
- Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
- Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
- Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
- Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
- Do not insert external links or references - Misplaced Pages is not a business directory
The only article that mentions Holdfast: Nations At War (that I could find) is Napoleonic Wars in fiction, so I added that link to your entry and removed the other blue links. Leschnei (talk) 01:00, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Leschnei: Thank you. 0qd (talk) 01:19, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi 0qd. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account for 1 month. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, you can always ask for removal at WP:AN. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to ask at the help desk (WP:HD) if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:42, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Assessment for Classics articles
Hi 0qd, I've just noticed you working on assessments for WP Classics articles. Would you be able to re-asses the article R. A. B. Mynors, which I recently expanded and therefore cannot assess myself? Many thanks, Modussiccandi (talk) 23:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Modussiccandi: Hi. I've assessed it as a B for WP CGR & low importance. I'm not comfortable with rating above Start for any other WikiProjects as I'm not particularly familiar with their criteria, however if you'd like me to I'd be happy to look into it for you (as a note, it will take a bit). Great work on the article. 0qd (talk) 23:33, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, @0qd:, I really appreciate your help. Don't worry about the other WP assessment for the article. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:42, 4 August 2020 (UTC)~
