RE:Demographics of Kabul province

The link looks like it should satisfy WP:reliable sources; use the source to change the article and I will support your edits. --Afghana ^[talk] 20:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Afghan Mellat

Thanks for the comments. However, good sources have been presented in the article to show that Afghan Mellat is considered by many to be an ethnocentric, ultra-nationalist party. The sources given are written by Afghanistan-experts in the West. The party's website is not neutral. They may call themselves "social democratic", but they are not accepted as a member party of the Socialist International. An example: the neo-fascist German party NPD does not define itself as racist on its website, but it's clear that it is a modern version of Adolf Hitler's NSDAP. Just an example in case of the ASDP/Afghan Mellat: the German version of their website states that Die Partei gibt jeder ethnischen Gruppe das Recht, ihre Sprache zu entfalten, aber nur Paschtu und Dari werden als offizielle Sprachen anerkannt, wobei bekräftigt wird, dass Paschtu auch die nationale Sprache des Landes ist - so already in here, they give Pashto a very special status, that of the national language, and they support the constitution of 1964 which - for the first time in the history of the country - forced both, the Pashto language and the "Afghan" identity (i.e. the Pashtun identity) on all the people in Afghanistan.

For now I will leave your edit until I find proper sources to back myself. We will further discuss the issue, if a discussion was needed, at that time. Thank you (Ketabtoon (talk) 01:51, 23 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I don't know who's right, he claims that HE is reverting vandalism. I've asked for help from knowledgeable people. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 01:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there an administrator/moderator whom we can get in touch with? If you are one than take a look at this

Maida Shahr

Do you actually take a look at your edits? Or at the reverts? Read the article: you have added a wrong transcription to the Pashto writing, mixing up Pashto and Persian. You have also added an unsourced name to the article - a name that is not even supported by the government sources you have provided. Tajik (talk) 17:47, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have given you 2 government sources in the discussion page of Maidan Shar article. One of these sources is the official website of Wardag Province. Still, I have not deleted the Persion translation of the name because 15% of the district are Persian speakers and they call it Maydan Shahr - ميدان شهر and I respect that.

http://www.ketabtoon.net/ketaboona/Wardag_qawm_seema_BOOK.pdf is a book about Wardag Province and Wardag People. It is in Pashto, but if you can read farsi than you will be able to read Pashto as well. Scroll down to Page 26 and see how they have written then name of Maidan Shar. We can use the book as another source. (Ketabtoon (talk) 18:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Shindand

Thanks for your recent edits in Shindand. The article looks much better now. As long as you remain neutral and do not delete sourced material, everything will be fine. Regards. Tajik (talk) 13:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Badghis

my reverts on Badghis was not vandalism. those numbers that I added are backed with reliable statistics that even you used in some articles. to make the article neutral I have put both estimates, so please stop removing sourced information.--Inuit18 (talk) 00:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An award for you!

		Barnstar of National Merit of Afghanistan
		I, Afghana, award you the Barnstar of National Merit of Afghanistan for your work in preserving over Five thousand years of history and heritage for Afghanistan.

While I do believe you have worked hard enough to earn this award (any award is gained through work, not through political or racial views), I strongly condemn the idea that User:Tajik does not deserve WP:good faith. While his opinions will differ from yours and mine quite often, he is never insincere in his attempts to make Wikipedia more WP:neutral. So please, reconsider any accusations against him. --Afghana ^[talk] 01:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am very honored, thank you for the award.

I have nothing personal against User:Tajik. He is trying, but he is not trying enough to keep a neutral point of view. I still believe that he is playing a double standard when he is editing articles here in wikipedia. Whenever there is an article related to Pashtuns, he gives it a negative image. When I see a positive change in his edits, than I will reconsider my accusations.

Once again thank you for the award. (Ketabtoon (talk) 01:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Amir Kror Suri

Ketabtoon, you cannot just remove tags! The article is in a very bad shape, not to mention the obvious fact that it is merely based on national folktale and legend. So far, you have failed to provide reliable sources! I appriciate your work in Pashtun-related articles (in fact, it is good to see a few more Pashtun authors in here!), but so far, I had to clean up and correct (neutralize!) most of your edits (see for example Abdul Hai Habibi or Karim Khurram). I ask you to re-insert the tags and not remove them till the article is cleaned up and Wikified, otherwise I will have to ask an admin for help. Tajik (talk) 21:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to look and comment about the article, Soviet war in Afghanistan where there are a few individuals who wrongfully insist on changing the result of the war which was clearly a Mujahideen/Afghan victory. Scythian1 (talk) 20:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

Did you know this?

This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article.

It's posted on all disambigs, your edits deleted a correct link and linked to the Afghan disambig. IMHO this is not acceptable (It's even a bad mark in GA and FA reviews.) I would like to ask you, not to link in this way please. Thank you. Sebastian scha. (talk) 19:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC) [reply]

[From Sebastian scha. talk] You left a message in my talk page. You mentioned that I "deleted a correct link and linked to the Afghan disambig". Can you please let me know which edit you are referring to, because I edited several articles. This way I will be able to explain the reason behind that specific edit. Thank you (Ketabtoon (talk) 20:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)) [End][reply]

I noticed this and this edit, because I'm watching these articles. (My fault was not to notice, that there were two links to Afghanistan (WP:OVERLINKING) I think, in context both mean people from A.) Sebastian scha. (talk) 21:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The correct/official term for a citizen of Afghanistan is Afghan not Afghanistani or Afghani. Therefor, I tried to replace Afghanistani with Afghan in all the articles. Afghanistani is redirected to Demography of Afghanistan. "Demography of Afghanistan" is the closest article that we can link the word "Afghan" to because we do not have a specific article page for Afghan People. (Ketabtoon (talk) 01:57, 3 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]

This is not about a proper term, it is about linking to disambigs, or better remove a link and reinstall a link to a disambig. As e.g. English is anything related to England and a proper link would be to England, English language or English people. So deleting a link to Afghanistani and linking to Afghan (disambig) is not usefull, as you stated yourself "Afghanistani is redirected to Demography of Afghanistan." Your proper edit would have been [[Demography of Afghanistan|Afghan]]. Sebastian scha. (talk) 08:29, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: reverted your edit

I'm such a bonehead, I didn't even realize they were different. I should have paid attention. It seems to me that having won an award for acting, Aryan Khan (son of Gauri and Shahrukh) should have his own article as well. I'll work on that, fix the links I've made, and change Aryan Khan to a disambiguation page (since there are two notable people of that name). I really appreciate your note! -- Atama頭 22:57, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the history of Aryan Khan, and apparently before it was a redirect it was a highly-contested article about Shah Rukh's son, and was eventually deem non-notable and changed to redirect to a different actor. I'm just going to develop the Afghan actor's page and leave everything else as it was. Thanks again. -- Atama頭 23:11, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Baraki Barak

The article Baraki Barak has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

1) There are no external links to confirm any information, 2) It is not a notable city see WP:NOTE

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I think that unless there is a specific important event that happened there, an important leader from there, or something that is actually notable, it should not be an article. Making an article for every city is not needed when there are no external sources that can prove anything. --Reubzz (talk) 22:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of governors of Nuristan

The article List of governors of Nuristan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've had a hack at it, and added more material. To be honest, part of the reason I prodded it was because it had been backlogged in new page patrol from half way through October, and I thought you'd forgotten about it. The devil of Twinkle is that it's easier to stick a template on. I'll let you alone now.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 23:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE

It's not up to you to decide weather an academic source is weak or not. The only sources that are weak are random website or random search on Google. As long as a source is academic and sourced, you cannot remove it without any proper explanation. As for the official numbers from Afghanistan: they, too, are just estimates. No exact figures, because there has not been any census in Afghanistan since the late 60's and early 70's. Thus, the Naval Postgraduate School is neither more reliable nor weaker than any other source in the article. Tajik (talk) 14:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
