[edit]A HUMBLE REQUEST
Do not edit if you cannot provide a factual reference. Every edit must be backed up by a scholarly reference. Do not vandalizes, do not add personal references. Learn to respect and appreciate differences of opinion without personal prejudice. This after all is the sharing of collective human knowledge and bringing it to the world. Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
If you want to request protection it would be better to ask at WP:RPP . Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 06:24, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Just so you know - you should never sign your name after making an edit to an article. This is because any given article can have dozens, or even hundreds, of individual editors, and if everyone signed, then the article would quickly become an illegible mess of signatures. Information as to who made which edit is automatically tracked, and is available in the article history.
Conversely, you should always sign the messages you leave on article discussion pages or on user talk pages.
No harm done - this is just so you know. DS 04:39, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Language Map of Khyber Pukhtukhwa
[edit]Hello,I see you are a member of Pashtun projects. If you know about the subject, you should also know that the maps you keep re-instating is completely wrong. As i stated earlier in multiple talk pages, the map is showing majority pashto speaking areas such as Karak District, Shangla District, Battaggram District, Toorghar District and Buner District as Hindko Speaking, while Tank District is being shown as Saraiki Speaking. The map is of a very bad quality and extemely in accurate, so one wonders why was it allowed to be used in the first place. Also if you are a member of Pashtun project you should yourself be aware that the map being used is inaccurate amd should be removed or replaced. File:Map of Languages of Kyber Pakhtunkha Province.jpg Tigerkhan007 (talk) 21:25, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
I have some maps on wiki commons. However, eventhough i know that the maps i have created are correct i can not find a good source, as no survey for each district in written form is available. That said, only issues (when it come to languages of kyber pukhtunkhwa) would come up with the eastern districts and D.I.Khan. Tank District has been shown as saraiki speaking by proponents of Saraiki province, however, we know that there were protests in Tank for their inclusion in Saraiki Province, since more than 80% of the population there is Pashto speaking (Bhittani, Wazir, Masud, Kundi's etc), evenmore now after the war on terror. Now we know that most of the people in chitral speaks Kho, while northern corner of swat and most of Kohistan is Kohistani people. While in south western parts of kohistan (swat Kohistan) close to battagram, Shangla and Swat pashto is spoken. When is comes to Torghar and Battagram we know that msot of the people speak pashto, even hinkowan website agrees to that fact (http://the-great-hazara.blogspot.com/). Abbotabad is mostly Hindko speaking. While most of Haripur (70%) is also Hindko Speaking, parts close to Swabi, Buner and Torghar Districts are pashto speaking i.e. areas of ghazi tehsil (Sirikot and Gudwallian etc) (http://hamaraharipur.webs.com/haripurhistory.htm). Finally, when it comes to Mansehra District, Ogai Tehsil is Mostly Pashto Speaking (http://beta.dawn.com/news/608754/call-for-including-of-oghi-in-torghar-district), and areas to the north and north west close to Battagram are pashto speaking such as Baffa, Battal, Chattar Plain, Hillkot, Shinkiari etc. Please be aware that i have qouted few hindkowan blogs, which can be changed at anytime by the creators of the said blogs, however, it supports my point. The map that i propose is this (

[edit]The Map being used on Battagram District, Buner District, Chitral, Chitral District, Dir, Pakistan, Hangu District, Pakistan,Haripur, Pakistan, Kohat District, Malakand District, Mardan, Nowshera, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Shangle District and Swat District is incorrect. It seems to me that either the editor lacks knowledge or is biased. Districts suchs as Karak, Tank, Shangla, Battagram, and Toor ghar, although more than 90% pashto speaking, are shown as hindko, Saraiki and Kohistani Speaking. Moreover, Mansehra is 35% pashto speaking and pashto is spoken in western sides of Dera Ismael Khan, Kohistan and Haripur districts as well but they are also shown as speaking a language other then pashto. Someone really neads to change that.
Also i have a more accurate map of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa i can email it to anyone who would want it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerkhan007 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

When you want to merge two separate pages, you need to post a note on the talk/discussion pages of them both, so others can give their opinion about the proposed merge of them. The history of those pages also needs to be merged. You can learn more about how to merge pages here:Wikipedia:Merging We hope (talk) 20:48, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

On Lund Khwar
[edit]Greetings, to request page protection, go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. However, if it's just one IP, and you've warned him multiple times, you can report him at the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress, and they're awfully quick about blocking people if the situation is documented.
That aside, your article has an awesome amount of detail, and lovely pictures, though I've just given it a cursory skim. One small suggestion on easily neatening up a few footnotes: whenever you have a GoogleBooks link, just paste it into http://reftag.appspot.com and it will automatically produce a full footnote; looks great and saves you effort.
Good luck on dealing with your unhelpful IP. Remember, just keep a level head, leave clear and unemotional vandalism warnings on his talk, and then contact Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. The main thing is to make sure that you don't become the "bad guy" in some admin's eyes by yourself acting hostilely or leaving offensive messages. Just keep a cool head, document, and report. Great work on your page, and I'd suggest swinging by WP:WikiProject Pakistan, if you haven't already, to announce your progress on your article, and perhaps request additional feedback.

vandalism
[edit]First of all, make a user page for yourself, so people can respond to you. Register and read some wiki rules. Believe me, it will help you.
Secondly, it is not Herodut, it is Herodotus. You put in poor grammatically incorrect information, but more importantly, it is historically unreferenced. "Herodut" says this, Alexander says that, where is the proof? it is not my responsibility to provide proof for whatever you type in, it is your responsibility. Research genuine references from known well documented sources and then put those references here. Otherwise dont edit without first doing some research.
Lastly, I am responsible for maintaining these pages, it is my responsibility to keep them right. Also, always sign fter your posts. Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
My apologies on Khattak, I was just trying to remove the massive overcategorisation, but it appears that I was looking at a "diff" of two different versions, and the edits were made to the old version. If I had actually meant to cut out that much text, I would have put in a much clearer Edit Summary explaining what I was doing (rather than the Edit Summary just being about the categories), so thanks for catching and fixing that mistake.
There is still the Category issue in a couple articles you've been working on; I understand you're trying to be through, but excessive cateories are counter-productive. What you were doing on Khattak was more like "meta data" or "keyword tagging" than actual cats, which unfortunately causes some clutter. For example, your original cats were:
Of these, only "Karlan Pashtun tribes" and "Khyber Paktunkhwa" are appropriate cats, the others are way too broad. For example, histiography. While historiographers may certainly read up on the Khattak to analyse how the perceptions of Khattak history have changed over time, there is no inherent tie between Khattaks and history. You could add "Historiography" to literally about every single ethnic group on Earth, since all of their histories have been reinterpreted over time, but clearly this would not be productive. Similarly, "Nationalism"; that cat is for articles specifically on the topic of various nationalisms, not articles wherein the subject happens to be nationalist. Same for international security; that's a category for "Military", "Passports", "Law enforcement"; again, not for every group of people who happen to be in an area of contested security.
Long/short, categories should be as specific as possible. Overcategorising just clutters up the broad parent categories. Imagine, for example, if operating on the mentality that every city in the world has a "history" every single city article was filed under "History", that cat would be utter chaos. Again, I do apologise for the removed text resulting from my viewing an older draft, but my changes to the categories was indeed correct per WP:Categories. I don't want to make changes without consulting you, but we can agree that, for example, Pashtun tribes should be filed under the smallest sub-category ("Karlan", etc.) they fall under in the tribal system, as well as "Ethnic groups of X state" for areas they inhabit? I really don't see any utility in categories further than those. MatthewVanitas (talk) 13:33, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Re:Pashtunistan
[edit]Dear Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan, hello! I have been editing Pashtun/Pathan related articles for quite some time now and actually originally authored the section titled "Origin of term" for the article in question. In the Hindi-Urdu language, the word "Pathan" is the one used most commonly and being the lingua franca of British India, the term "Pathan" and "Pathanistan" were in vogue; see for example, a quote from Bacha Khan. Since Wikipedia operates according to WP:RS and WP:V, my restoration of the deleted content was acceptable. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 21:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
My edit
[edit]Dear Pakhtunyar,
I read your message. The are some points: first, your Hadith is cited from primary source which is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Second is that thousands of historians all around the world have mentioned many places in their mother tongue and as know better than me there are lots of Hadiths about many places in Arabic; as an example there is Hadith about China and the Arabic word is Tsain صین, but this does not mean we can add the Arabic script to the article of China. Anyway, in my opinion the Pashtun and Hebrew script need to be deleted, but this is just a minor matter.--Aliwiki (talk) 08:56, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Suggest more calm tone in Edit Summaries
[edit]Greetings, I see you recently deleted an IP addition at Khattak, summarising: Explain your edits, this is malicious intent!! unreferened un related material, consider this your 1st warning. I would suggest this is maybe excessive. The material was not defamatory or unprofessional; it was indeed uncited, and may indeed be inaccurate, however it is best to WP:Assume good faith. I would suggest instead something like "Removing uncited material about Khattaks and Rajput military, please come to Talk:Khattak to explain if you have supporting evidence."
If an argument breaks out with another editor, the one that stays the calmer often gains much credibility. Further, the IP may have been legitimately attempting to help, but be unaware of WP procedures. A more nuanced Edit Summary, and even dropping his Talk a line saying "Thanks for your addition, but it can't remain without citations; please come to Talk:Khattak to discuss footnoting this material before adding it. I've removed the material until we can find clear footnoting." Though many IPs are careless or unhelpful, there are many good editors who started out as clumsy IPs, but with patience and guidance became great assets.

Pashtun people
[edit]Hi, you need to follow the rules on how to edit an article. Don't turn the Pashtun people article into a mess by adding repeated information everywhere. The information about Afghan or Afghana is already mentioned in the "Ancient references" section as well as in the main articles Afghan (name) and Afghana.--AlimNaz (talk) 10:11, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Reply
[edit]I suggest you also observe some inhibitions and rules while going at pages. The chronological order requires this section to be where it is placed, furthermore, sectioning and sub sectioning clarifies an article. By your one sweep deletion, I think your intentions are obvious. In good faith, I have been accommodating, but if you continue your one seep deletions, then I will be forced to report you. Considering your reason, I dont agree, the mentions are incomplete if we take things by your method, they are un organized and have no references. I created a research and reference rich section in the chronologically correct place. If you do not like the mention of Afghana because of personal beliefs, then I suggest you read up on history. Check all the references I provided and all will be clear. Furthermore, please do not edit if you have nothing to contribute. I refine and grammatically check all me editions. Thank you for your concerns. If you do not agree, use the talk page (discussion is the wiki way not your deletions) and if you still dont like it, you can go to the global moderators at anytime. I will be happy to help you with it. Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 10:19, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
- I've made some edits at Afghana after checking some references. If you don't like them, please discuss them at the talk page - you may need to quote some of your sources. Please also read WP:AGF. Dougweller (talk) 12:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pashtun people. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please note that 3RR does not mean you can make 3 reverts a day on a daily basis.

Nomination of Oldest Afghan tribes for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Oldest Afghan tribes is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oldest Afghan tribes until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Dougweller (talk) 18:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- You asked me about this on my talk page, the discussion is at the link above, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oldest Afghan tribes. I note that your latest edits seem based on an unreliable source - the authors don't seem to have any academic track record and the publisher Amishav is an orgiansation "dedicated to locating the Lost Tribes of Israel (with the objective of contracting the population increase of a “bourgeoning” Arab population by their mass return". See Shavei Israel. Dougweller (talk) 10:09, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
I also note that the book I mention above is written in Hebrew. Your quote doesn't give a page name and I'm guessing that you haven't actually read the book and simply copied that from another website. And as virtually all the reliable sources say he is said to be the forefather of the Pashtun's, I've removed it. Dougweller (talk) 10:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- You haven't bothered to reply to my comments in the section above, simply replacing the deleted section and making some personal attacks on my talk page. I've raised the issue at WP:NPOVN#Qais Abdur Rashid. Dougweller (talk) 12:36, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rae Ahmed Nawaz Khan Kharal
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Rae Ahmed Nawaz Khan Kharal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Sitush (talk) 20:56, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Afghan and Pashtun
[edit]Bro i understand the term Afghan but the reality is there are two countries Pakistan and Afghanistan and most of the pakistani pakhtuns dont like being called Afghans as they think this term was used in history and now for Afghan refugees. You cant deny that today Afghan is never used amongst pashtuns of Pakistan even though it was used for pashtuns in the past more commonly as compared to the word pashtun. My mother is a Pashtun turi and i know alot of Afghan Pashtuns(PAshtuns of Afghanistan) dont accept them as Pashtun as they are shia leave alone the Afghan word.
Also now a days nationality is much more important than ethnicity as u know that as british is the term more commonly used rather than scottish or english, i dont believe in nationalism.
if you use the word Afghan for all pashtuns then alot of pakistani pashtuns and other pakistanis or rest of the world will not be able to understand as they might think this article is related to Afghanistan and not to Pakistan. this is basically due to lack of knowledge about history , and basically due to influx of alot of Afghan refugees that has created a negative mindset regarding the word Afghan. Most PAkistan pashtuns use it for mahajar or kabulayan.
I understand but in present circumstances i know this Afghan word doesnt suit as article is not gonna be read by only pashtuns of Afghanistan but other pashtuns and rest of the world.
In history Afghan was ok but now Afghan is merely a nationality and Pashtun is the ethnicity as they are derived from pakhtasSaladin1987 20:07, 11 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saladin1987 (talk • contribs)
User from Rawalpindi
[edit]But Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan, sorry again Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan, understand it must be with real sources and a Master of wikipedia user.
The story of Afghana must be filled by native habitants who always lived there and are native speakers of Pashto, Dari, Farsi and Urdu, who shares an old Indian religion of North Pakistan and South Afghanistan from Gandahar. Would it be right if someone fills the religion in with Islamic context because of Afghana was an Indian Jewish king who lived at the time period at Gandahar It must be with real sources, books, media and master users of wikipedia, thank you for your information.

User from Rawalpindi
[edit]But Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan, I am the person who edit the real Afghana story line, the only who can give additional information of the Afghana must be coming from North Pakistan or South Afghanistan area who have lived like 3000 years in Rawalpindi & Peshewar area, who are known of the story Afghana. Afghana was an Jewish king who lived at the time period at Gandahar but you have to find reliable sources so only sources from books, documentaries, valid material that makes the Afghana as one complete.
- Thank you for your comments. I would like to start by saying that you should first make an account on wikipedia so you can edit. In addition, after reading all of your concerns, I suggest you do proper research in this matter. Consult a library and well referenced books of syndicated publishers. If you use references from these sources i.e. mass published well referenced books of syndicated publishers easily available to public, then all your edits will be valid. If English is not your native tongue, please consult a proper source to prevent any grammatical mistakes in your edits. Edits with poor grammar are not likely to be accepted even if with proper references. Lastly, please refrain from using your personal opinions, or family information or information known or relevant only to yourself. These cant be considered as acceptable references or sources of information. Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan (talk) 06:31, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
[edit]Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:54, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Need for expertise regarding Pashtuns
[edit]Hey Dr Pukhtunyar Afghan,
For the sake of the reliableness of the wiki page Pashtuns. If you can help the discussion, please join in and read everything. Thank you. I saw your expertise its about the Hindus of Afghanistan. People are including them on the Pashtun ethnic group. Which I argue against because the Hindus and Sikhs are not real ethnic Pashtuns at all. For me, it doesn't matter which "side" of arguments you pick. I just need an expert to look at it. Thanks in advance Casperti (talk) 22:59, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, Thanks. Based on Pashto literary works and the accepted definition of Pashtoon elders, you are right. The ethnicity here refers to Afghan. Afghan is a specific ethnicity of people living in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Everyone who speaks Pashto can be called a Pathan/ Pukhtun/ Pashtun but in essence Pashto/ Pushto/ Pukhto is the Iranian Indo-Europian language of the ethnic Afghans. In this regard the works of great literary figures such as Khushal Khan Khattak are a good specific reference as he clearly defines and describes this people. Non-Afghans e.g. Uzbak, Tajik, Hazara of modern day Afghanistan, Hindus, Sikhs living in ethnic Afghan areas and able of speaking Pushto are loosely and incorrectly but generally acceptably called Pukhtun/ Pashtun. As per our literary figures an Afghan is person of specific tribes e.g. Adridi, Yusufzai, Khattak etc. who speaks the Pushto language and follows the code of Pashtunwali (culture, tradition, customs, oral history).

Mughal Khel
[edit]Dear Sir/Madam,
I respectfully request your assistance in reviewing my draft article, Draft:Mughal Khel. As a sub-tribe of the Yousafzai, the Mughal Khels are unique in that they are the only Yousafzai tribe residing in Southern Pakhtunkhwa, where they speak a soft version of Pashto. They are based in Bannu and their history and cultural practices have been documented in various online sources and books.
It is my hope that by writing this article, I can contribute to the knowledge base about the Yousafzai tribe and highlight their rich tradition of migration and cultural diversity. I would greatly appreciate your guidance and support in ensuring that the information is accurate and suitable for submission on Wikipedia.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
