Barbahari

Salam 'alaikum akhi, I noticed the good job you've done with getting an article for Imam Barbaharee (rahimahullah) started. Leave me a comment any time if you need help in the way of references or any other editing projects. MezzoMezzo 04:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see, while coverage of her is not exclusive it is significant. I think that the Wikipedia:Notability guideline is your best friend in this issue. As for Imam Barbahari, good job and if you ever need help in the way of sources or information than don't hesitate to ask. MezzoMezzo 14:33, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History of Arabs in Afghanistan

Do you want me to create an article on this made up of your edits from Afghan Arabs? --BoogaLouie 17:55, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and did it. Here it is: History of Arabs in Afghanistan. Feel free to improve and expand on it. --BoogaLouie 18:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request for backup

Salam 'alaikum akhi, I hope you're doing alright. Anyway, I know you've been quite busy as i've been Wiki-stalking you recently ;) Don't worry, I think the edits you've done in the way of providing information has been stellar and that we could use more brothers like you around here. Anyway, there are some issues I was wondering you could throw your two cents in on as a third party to mediate might help. On the article for Nuh Ha Mim Keller a new single purpose account has taken issue with legitimate opposing views presented in the external links section, he has been very polite so far but i'm apprehensive due to some issues you'll pick up on. Also, there was some good-faith insertion of POV into the Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani, pretty standard accusations of being a "Wahhabi leader" and random unsourced criticisms by (i'm guessing Sufi) mashayikh no one has ever heard of. He seems like a fairly intelligent and polite user but the article in Shaikh Albani has been hit by so much stealth vandalism recently that you can never be too sure. Sorry to sort of dump all this on you, I understand if you're caught up at the moment but any help would be appreciated. Let me know if you need help with anything you're working on and inshaAllah i'll see what I can do, jazak Allah khair ak. MezzoMezzo 01:37, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

template

please view template talk page. I have given my supporting arguments. You may or may not be from the Middle East or Central Asia, but that does not give you scholarly authority that Afghanistan is de facto non-South Asian, many sources support me and historical there have been MANY periods of joint rule. I listed a few articles that will show you that on the talk page Thegreyanomaly 03:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of Afghanistan was under the same ruler as India, not just Gandhara. I made the concession that it can be considered non-South Asian. I'm going to revert it to say Afghanistan and leave it in other Thegreyanomaly 01:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i responded Thegreyanomaly 02:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beh-nam changed it back to Afghanistan. I got confused and changed Gandhara to Kandahar (logical mistake similar name, both are in East Afghanistan), and he changed it back to Afghanistan. He willingly changed it, don't blame without looking at my edits. Thegreyanomaly 02:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Beh-nam changed it after your messaged him on his talk-page. He knew what you were saying and still put back in Afghanistan. Thegreyanomaly 02:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I mean to say I will wait for his input before i do anything quite yet Thegreyanomaly 02:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I sent him a message to clarify matters. Best Regards, Scythian1 02:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I refute the Gandhara-only viewpoint, much more than Gandhara were Indianized. The Indo-Greeks were centered in Bactria, north of Gandhara. [[1]] Also, the Indo-Parthian and Kushans, had much influence in the Hindu Kush region. Considering all that land mass was Indosphere, it is best to say Afghanistan on the template.

Using the minor edit tag

Hi. Please be more careful when using the "minor edit" flag, as you appear to be using it for some edits that are not in fact minor. An explanation of minor edits and their correct usage can be found at Help:Minor edit. You may also wish to review your preferences and change the default setting, so that the edit is not checked as minor automatically. Natalie 20:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salafism

Salam 'alaik ak, and Ramadan mubarak. Just got back from tarawih and noticed your defense of the Salafism article, good job. As you can see on that article's talk page, the guy has basically been trolling me and dodging the actual issues the whole time, so another editor stepping in and undoing this ridiculousness help majorly. Let me know if you need help on anything. MezzoMezzo 03:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Input Requested on the template Asian Capitals

Hello Sythian1, I noticed that you have made previous edits to the template Asian Capitals, and I would be grateful if you could give your input to help build a consensus about the geographic location of Kabul, Afghanistan, on the continent of Asia. Thank you in advance. Atari400 00:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Input Requested for Talk:Indosphere

Hello Scythian1. I was wondering if you could offer your opinion on this debate involving the definition of the political neologism "Indosphere". You seem very knowledgeable about the subject matter from prior debate, and unfortunately some Editors seem to be attempting to use Wikiepdia as a means of spreading both Hindu and Indian nationalistic views.

Afghanistan's only Jew

In History of the Jews in Afghanistan, just because the guy said he'd be in heaven if you brought him a bottle of whiskey, does not necessarily mean he is an alcoholic! 201.6.56.26 (talk) 21:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Latif Pedram: controversial?

Salam. Can you please explain why you have him described as "controversial" in the lead? Many politicians in Afghanistan are controversial. Including Hamid Karzai and most recently (if you have been following the news) Karim Khoram. So why don't you add controversial to their lead as well? The only reason I can think of is that you might not be fond of Latif Pedram. In other words your edit seems to be politically motivated. I cannot think of another reason since there are so many controversial politicians in Afghanistan. TruePashtoon (talk) 18:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - renaming Afghanistan - in utter contravention to the will of a large portion of Afghanistan's citizens, is wholly controversial. I do not know of any other Afghan politician who has ever even remotely suggested changing Afghanistan's name. Scythian1 (talk) 04:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mahmud Tarzai

Sallam. Instead of labeling the Pashtunization article as POV even though it was sourced well with good sources, you should take a look at the Mahmud Tarzi article written by user: NisarKand. He uses nationalistic websites as sources and makes alot of things up. The whole article is POV style. Please help that article. THanks. TruePashtoon (talk) 22:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pashtunization

I removed the part about Khuram since it was unreferenced but Kingturle rv'ed me. Everything is referenced so please simply remove the part about Khuram and then you can take of the POV tag. Thanks. TruePashtoon (talk) 22:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
