A tag has been placed on Adalantis, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sigma 7 03:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

Hello, you are welcome to contribute constructively in Afghanistan-related articles. However, I noticed that you kept inserting the Nastaliq tag in the names of cities written in Persian script. I think it is completely useless to insert the Nastaliq tag because the name/word will never show up in Nastaliq script and will always be in Naskh script. Plus, inserting a tag into another tag will not work either. Can you please revert all your such edits for the Afghan cities? Thank you.

You also mistyped the Persian writing for Fayzabad, Badakhshan ([1]), I corrected it. Cabolitæ (talk) 16:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do have the Nastaliq font, but it doesn't show up for me. Probably you've got the Urdu/Pakistani Nastaliq. Even if it shows up, it is not scholarly. In Afghanistan and in Iran, all the official documents, academic books and all other written materials are written with Naskh script. That's because it is easy to read when the font size is small, and the letters are distinguishable. However, Nastaliq is mostly used in poetry and some calligraphic works, or in everyday hand-writing in Afghanistan and Iran. So in English wikipedia articles, we should also write them in Naskh script, just like the Persian wikipedia.

By double tag, I meant that you are inserting the Nastaliq tag within the Persian-script tag. Cabolitæ (talk) 16:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have reverted all of my edits. By the way, I'm a big history buff, so are there any articles having to do with Afghan history (&c.) that need work/info/sources? I'd love to help out in any way I can!

Hi! Thank you for reverting them :-) Well you can browse through the articles, and almost all articles need a lot of work. To start with, you can choose a specific period in the Afghan history on which you feel more comfortable in editing, and then you can start improving the related articles; like Pre-Islamic period, Middle-Ages, or modern history. You can also check some categories and templates from where you can easily browse into the other articles; for example Category:History_of_Afghanistan and Template:History_of_Afghanistan. Cabolitæ (talk) 21:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the wikipedia article, History of Afghanistan, the user "Lagoo sab" reverted my edits once more. I had fixed many grammatical issues and punctuation and it seems as though you had tried to revert it back to my edits again. Well, the user reverted it again...can you help me out?--MShefa (talk) 18:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan remained under the control of the British empire until 1919? This is wrong Afghanistan was never under British empire but Pakistan and India were.--Lagoo sab (talk) 22:29, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan's foreign affairs remained controlled by the British Empire, however, the country in total was not. Such is why you will see "1919" printed on the Afghan flag as the year of the country's independence.--MShefa (talk) 18:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know all the details about the history but British never controlled Afghanistan. British controlling Afghanistan's foreign affairs at the time, which was just with Russia and British, is not controlling the country. They way you wrote the sentence makes unaware people assume that British ruled Afghanistan like all the other countries they did at the time. The 1919 printed on the flag is irrelevant.--Lagoo sab (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well then I will just have to refer you to the main wikipedia article on Afghanistan, in which it says, very simply, "On August 19, 1919, following the third Anglo-Afghan war, the country regained independence from the United Kingdom over its foreign affairs."

It says "the country regained independence", over the first time in 1709 or 1747. August 19, 1919 is when Afghanistan finally gained recognition by Britian as a completely independent sovereign state as it was before their involvement. This is similar to how a nation is recognized today by the United Nations but at that time (in 1919) there was no U.N. and Britian was in charge of all affairs in Asia, they controlled most of the region except Afghanistan and Russia.--Lagoo sab (talk) 17:04, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

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 Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:19, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy. We shouldn't just keep track of current things. This is an encyclopedia not a product catalog. An appropriate action is to mark the items as having fallen out of production not sanitize all mention of them from the encyclopedia. Please reapply my edits and update the article text to clarify which products are current. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bostwickenator (talk • contribs) 20:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
