GA Sweeps invitation

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.

We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.

If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

So far most of the edits by the user can be considered as vandalism because all the person is doing is deleting Pashto/Pashtun related contents in different pages of wikipedia. (Ketabtoon (talk) 19:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC))

GA reassessment of Persian literature

Request for assistance

Hey guys, I work over at the Motto of the Day project, and I was wondering if someone here would be willing to help us out with something. A quote was submitted to become one of our daily mottos; it was taken from Wikiquote where it is said to be an Afghani proverb. However, we're not 100% confident on the English translation. If any of you guys are native speakers, would you mind popping over and taking a look at it for us? We'd really appreciate the assistance. The discussion is here. Thanks again for the help and for your time. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:17, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

There's an error in the 22nd reference at the bottom of the article. Evan Thomas's article appeared in the OCTOBER 1 2001 issue of Newsweek, not the January 2001 issue as is stated in the reference. Can someone who knows how to make that edit please make that change?

Hi guys. Myself and ManicSpider have been working on the article Nasrullah Khan which we found while doing unsourced articles patrol, but neither of us have any prior knowledge of Afghanistan history or any real familiarity with the region, so we could use the help of any Afghan historians out there.

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Afghanistan/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Afghanistan/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 01:37, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Afghanistan/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 33 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Afghanistan articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Afghanistan articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I have tried, and failed, to find any reliable sources (or, in fact, any sources at all) for this individual (as opposed to the grouping of the same name). I'm posting here in the hope that someone with better knowledge of the area and the history might like to take an interest and provide at least one reliable source.

Propose articles on suicide and mental health

I'm doing a little work on Category:Health in Afghanistan, and would like to propose forming Suicide in Afghanistan and Mental health in Afghanistan. On the first issue, there was a flood of coverage in mid-2010 of female self-immolation, but I'm not seeing much coverage other than that exact topic. Plus it's hard to screen out everything related to suicide bombing/attacks (outside the scope of my intended article). Further, there have been some studies by various governments on Afghan mental health after 30yrs of war, and I think it could be an extremely fertile topic, and arguably something that a few editors could push up to GA status relatively quickly.

New article on a Communist Afghan political figure important in Northern Afghanistan in the 1980s. Started it because I saw his redlink in the lede of Sar-e Pol Province, since apparently he was the one who advocated for the province's creation. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Where is Afghanistan after all?

Hi, there have been a recent series of edits and edit requests, by IP and by Special:Contributions/AA193 concerning the sub-regional location of Afghanistan; claims are made that Afghanistan is in fact in the middle east, or in West Asia. I have started a discussion here Talk:Afghanistan#Afghanistan_in_the_Middle_East. I'd be interested in having User:AA193 and other editors contribute their thoughts, ideally backed up by references, as clearly there are conflicting views on whether Afghanistan is in central asia, south asia, west asia, the middle east, or all of the above. I hope a consensus can be formed, which would then be allowed to percolate through other articles. My own recommendation, which would hold for all disputes of this type (and not just Afghanistan), would be to use the UN geographic classifications; these have the advantage of having been agreed by the UN in general, which was not an easy process, and standardizing on these classifications may help avoid the sort of disputes that this question in particular brings up.--KarlB (talk) 16:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

English Language and Computer Learning Centers (ELCLCs)

Another editor created an article about ELCLC, an education program in Afghanistan. The article appears to be a copyvio and does not demonstrate notability. Perhaps someone here could improve the article. Otherwise, it is likely to be deleted. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Rumi from a neutral point of view

Hello, I have a recommendation about the article Rumi.

Please read all the information, I wrote on Talk, and tell whether you agree or disagree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rumi#Let.27s_Remove_POV_with_a_Neutral_Point_of_View

You know the ethnicity of Rumi is unknown and debated. I hope you contribute to this matter. Alternatively, from a neutral point of view, I recommend to change the (POV) sentence to a (NPOV) sentence:

"a 13th-century Persian Muslim poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic."

to "a 13th-century Muslim poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic of Persian literature. 81.213.117.125 (talk) 21:37, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Content dispute at Ahmad Shah Massoud

There is a dispute at Ahmad Shah Massoud on weighting of material. I have fully protected the article and strongly suggested a structured debate to resolve it. There is alot of discussion on an archived page so it seems a complex issue. This would be good to settle conclusively before things get more heated.
