The first page of history of Pakistan is written wrongly, we all know "pakistan and Bangladesh were part of Bharat/India since more than 3000 years & later a Greek scholar named Bharat as "India" during Mauryan empire's era".. but this particular sentence isn't written in this article.

+rollback
edit
Hi Jet Pilot,
After reviewing your request, I have added your account to the rollback group. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
- Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
- Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "
[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful. - Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
- If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.
To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!
Best regards,

Thanks for preventing this
editHello Jet Pilot,
Thank you for reverting the vandalism made by Pooeyman9374 on several pages. I really appreciate you stopping it from happening on Wikipedia. I sent you thanks because of this. Hikingboii (talk) 01:16, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Thank you!
editThanks so much for clearing up some of the racial slurs added by an especially charming anonymous user. I really appreciate your help! The next time you run into edits that are that terrible--the really ugly stuff, you could drop a level-4 warning on the user's talk page, then hunt down an admin to have them blocked immediately .We don't put up with that kind of nonsense: they don't have to get multiple warnings. Thanks again for all you do! Joyous! Noise! 03:25, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
