Hello, I'm
Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of an article. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the
external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be
internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

I'm sorry I don't know how to message you on your talk page so I'll just send it here. You not only removed the external links but also removed THE ENTIRE LIST OF HOSPITALS ALONG WITH THE LINKS, I'm sorry but I'm just wondering how on earth you become a Wikipedia admin.

Why didn't you add it back yourself? If you can bother with removing useful links that are meant to guide people why couldn't you do something simple as this? And it says on the guidelines to use common sense sometimes to override certain rules. The reason I linked external links in the body was because these hospitals don't have a wiki page, so I linked their official website.

What you should have done is remove the links, not the entire list of hospitals. I know you're just doing your job or whatever, but you're only making it hard for other people

And you are just making it harder by adding in spam references. We or at least I am a volunteer here, I do not get paid to edit, and I'm not going to spend my time doing what other's think I should do, especially new editors who by their own admission "The reason I linked external links in the body was because these hospitals don't have a wiki page, so I linked their official website." don't know the processes of wikipedia. Really what should happen is all hospitals that do not currently have an article should be removed from the list, unless you can guarantee it is all inclusive.--

Spam references? Excuse me? They're links to *official websites* and there are thousands of wiki pages with links like these. You decided to come and remove the most useful information. Imagine someone is in an emergency and wants to look up hospitals in their area and this wiki page shows up. Thanks for your contribution and guidance

I noticed you have been editing some health-related articles, and I wanted to say that a bunch of us hang out at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're welcome to join us. It's also a good place to ask questions about finding
good sources for medical content or
writing style. There are also groups like
Wikipedia:WikiProject Hospitals, if that sounds like a better match, but I think it's a very small group. Feel free to put any groups you're interested on
your watchlist, or stop by to say hello some time.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to
disambiguation pages. Such links are
usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the
FAQ • Join us at the
DPL WikiProject.)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khalifa Gul Nawaz Teaching Hospital until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hey ExoField, thanks for creating those articles! Those articles are certainly within the scope of the contest, as they are directly related to Pakistan. Please note that you would have to submit the articles through some kind of review process to be eligible for points — see
the scoring page for more information. Since you only created them yesterday, you can submit them to
Did you know? for about six more days; if they appear on the
Main Page, you will be awarded points! I hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other questions. —

Hey ExoField, apologies for the delay — I didn't have time to get around to your question yesterday. I can see there was a bit of confusion below about that article, but it's now back in
mainspace, and the close paraphrasing issue seems to have been addressed; thanks for doing that! In the future, please do not copy text directly from sources, as that is a violation of their copyright. Only small quotes may be used, and they must be
attributed to their source. (An exception would be reusing text under a free license, but that has
its own procedure.) In any case, these articles are still within the seven-day window to
nominate them at Did you know?, which can then be claimed for points in the DCWC if your hook appears on the
Main Page. Let me know if you have any other questions! —

All right, I will keep those points in mind, thank you!
Thanks for your contributions to
Pak-Austria Fachhochschule: Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please resist the temptation to toss the article back into the main namespace. How about submitting it for review and letting someone else be the judge? —

Hi, regarding the first point, I think eight references, with seven being secondary references are more than enough to establish notability? I'll work on it more however.
Second point, I think there's just one sentence in the entire article which sounds potentially promotional (and it was taken from a primary source), will be fixed soon.
Regarding the conflict of interest, I think you've misjudged the situation, I do not receive any personal benefit from adding this article to the mainspace, nor am I related in any way with this article. I simply looked up "Universities in Pakistan" and saw this on the list, without a page, then did some research and found it to be a much more significant institution compared to many others which have a Wikipedia page.
Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.
