thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 14 July 2022 

message: What drew my attention to the page was vandalism to one section giving unrealistic numbers or leaving countries off. Since the original source for this article was CIA, I used the most recent CIA World Factbook (2021) for the new numbers. They may be low as compared to IMF or World Bank as seen here: List of countries by GDP (PPP).
I reordered the sections in order of GDP of the region. I didn't modify the scope of the article. If Australia and Oceania's independent countries are within the scope of Asia-Pacific but Turkey, Russia, etc., aren't, that's arguable but fair.
A table of GDP (PPP) per capita of the regions of Asia was an interesting idea, but it was unsourced and out of the scope of the article, so I deleted it.

message: The problem here is that the article is not actually about the stated topic. It's a copy of the text here:  and while it's pretty good information it's really not at home in this article.
I'm rewriting the entire thing in a sandbox with the following structure:
*Short intro
*Background
::A summary of the industrial conditions that led to poor motor vehicle safety and the social conditions (here I'm thinking we should mention Ralph Nader and Unsafe at Any Speed).
*Passage
::Public debate on the law, legislative debate on the law, votes on the law, amendments, etc.
*Act
::A good readable summary of what the law says, what it requires, what new departments of the federal government it creates, etc
*Effects
::Long term effects of the act, beyond the changes in government departments and regulations. E.g. motor vehicle accidents fell some percentage, airbags become standard, seatbelt laws, more awareness, subsequent laws that further enhance safety
*See also
*References
Edit the sandbox here.--TexasDex ★ 16:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

message: If you read about the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act at Brittanica.com or Encyclopedia.com or History.com, the first thing they all tell you is how many deaths there were prior to the act. Next thing they all tell you is the impact of Ralph Nader, Unsafe at Any Speed, and his congressional testimony.. The Smithsonian too.. I can see how there might be multiple points of view of this, but the basic fact of Nader's prominent role is universally accepted. It's like Nader has been airbrushed out.

Even the portals such as Kamat's Potpourri,  and other references such as this indicate the name as Pulikeshi.
The words "Pulakesi" / "Pulakeshi" too are in usage, but they are not accurate. Hence the article can be redirected from these pages.

thread_title:  Bogus speculation 

message: To whom this may concern,
An IP hopper is making some serious nonconstructive edits on several Wikipedia articles, among which one is this. What this user does is delete any mentioning of Pakistan, deletes the History of Pakistan template and replaces a specific region (ie. Punjab, Sindh) with a vague, obsolete term "Indian subcontinent". The first bone of contention is why this user has an issue with Pakistan claiming its history. I don't see this user going to the Mauryan Empire and removing the History of India template. Clearly a bias is present.
The second issue is how this user is replacing specific regions with Indian subcontinent. This would be like replacing Texas with North America. It makes zero sense to me. I've tried several times to contact the user, but he or she seems to be using some program which prevents me from posting on his or her talk page. The user is also using several IDs at once which I am noting down here: , , , , , 
The other articles he is creating havoc on include: History of Sindh, Ror dynasty, Gandhara, Gandhara grave culture, Riwat, 
Not only would I like to report his or her deconstruction edits, I'd also like to have his or her actual IP address banned for using several different user IDs at once. Thank you. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 02:49, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
