[edit] Request for Peer Review

Hi there. Since you're on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Afghanistan, I thought I should let you know, that've requested a peer review for the article on Zohra Daoud here. I'll appreciate your feedback, thanks.Zainub 13:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Hey. The pictures are really nice. Maybe you should add two pictures to the article, one of the smiling girl and one of the old man reading. Those two are really beautiful!

BTW: you should talk to User:Rarelibra about the colors of the ethno-linguistic maps. He is the one who is creating them.

Have a nice day.

Regarding Farsiwan: Encyclopaedia Iranica is an authoritative scholarly source. I think that the quote should stay, because it was more weight than other sources. Tājik 20:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tajik article

I already commented that the statement regarding the origin of "Tajik', which was removed, was a purely speculative point of view which does not belong in an encyclopedia article. No source was given on the dubious statement either... 71.133.19.185 19:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cinema

Hi there!

Would you please add some information about Pashto cinema of 2000s to Cinema of Afghanistan? Any notable film or director? or some info on Pashto film industry in today's Afghanistan? I tried to find some pashto films but those were made by western directors. It is very kind of you if you could help me with that. Thanks in advance. Sangak 21:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Take care. Sangak 15:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latif Pedram

Done. Khoikhoi 05:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tajiks on wikicommons

Hi,

Why did you delete the link? Ofcource it's better to have more images in that category, but it can not be a reason to delete the link. Jahangard 01:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About your map on the "languages of Afghanistan"

[1] which you have used as the source, shows a Baloch majority in Nimruz Province, but you have colored it as a Pashtun region. Please correct it. Jahangard 02:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pashtuns

Hello. Why is the family picture misleading? I've seen MANY Pashtuns (both Afghans and those from Peshawar) who look just like that family right down to their clothing. Tajiks for example shows a range of physical types so why not for the Pashtuns as well who are basically the same as Tajiks? Tombseye 02:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Ummeed laram che kha ba ai? Will you please visit Swati article for any suggestion and correction regarding grammer aswell. Dera Manana and Take care. Haider 10:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pashtun786

I'll keep an eye on him. Khoikhoi 04:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've blocked Rizza18 for vandalism, as for the others, I think you should try going to WP:RFCU. List them here (read the instructions in the box), along with some of NisarKand's IP addresses ([2]). Note that they all start with "202.134.132". The code letter fo the checkuser case will be "F". Khoikhoi 07:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] comments

Salam. Can you have a look at User:Tajik's Talk Page? He has been blocked for a month and accused for not having constructive contribution in wikipedia which seems completely irrational. You may have your comments there.

Plus, I reverted your addition of map. I presented the points in the talk page. I hope you will not mind for reverting it without letting you know first. Ariana310 10:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Map

Please note that aims.org.af does not give the figures for all districts of a province. In some provinces, it has given the figures of only few districts. Please correct Ghazni province (for Tajiks), Ghor (for Aimaks/Hazaras), Takhar (for Tajiks) and Logar (for Pashtuns). Ariana310 10:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I commented again about Wardak and Ghor provinces in the discussion. I was wondering if you noticed it.Ariana310 06:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


Well, according to that map, Wardak is lied under the Persian language. However, Wardak has about 80% Pashtun population, and Persian is not so much used there. Just take a look at the AIMS reports. Among the southern Pashtun provinces, it is only Nengarhar who has the highest number of Tajiks. Especially in Jalalabad, Dari/Farsi is widely used. Even in governmental departments, most of the official papers are written in Dari. The only reason is that Jalalabad always remained under Kabul's influences. And the city of Jalalabad itself was built of Jalaluddin Akbar, the grandson of Babur. And in that map, Jalalabad is highlighted for Persian as well.
The map is based on 1985 statistics. It also highlights Paktia for Persian. While today, Persian is almost dead in that province because of the rigorous politics of Afghan government. There were many Tajik tribes in Paktiya who used to speak Dari. But since there was no Persian school in that province, they were obliged to quit Dari. Now all those tribes speak Pashto.
So at the moment, Wardak, Paktya and Logar are completely under Pashtu influence, and Persian is no more the dominant language. Remember you have highlighted the provinces for the major language. And today, Pashtu is the major language in those 3 provinces, despite the fact that there is a little bit presence of Persian.Ariana310 07:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Plus, I do not also agree with that map because of the Takhar province. It is highlighted for Uzbeki language. Although the proportion of Uzbek people might be higher than that of Tajik people, but Persian is the dominant language.Ariana310 07:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for you too. For your hardworking. Don't forget about the Ghor province, as I gave you the sources in the Talk page for Aimaks.Ariana310 07:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, in that map, they have put Aimaqs with Tajiks. As you wish then. Some sources add Aimaqs with Tajiks, while others with Hazaras, for the fact that they resemble to both Tajiks and Hazaras. But I think it would be better, to show Aimaqs independently. To neither put it under Tajiks and nor under Hazaras, but to show itself.Ariana310 18:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why Pedram?

Greetings! Why is Pedram on the Tajiks home page when he received only 1.4% of the total vote during Afghanistan's presidential elections? Furthermore, most people from the region have heardly heard of Latif Pedram. Moreover, this person, if assuming it is true, is a known atheist; hardly representative of the devout Sunni Muslim Tajiks. Perhaps adding Rabbani or Masood would be understable since they are far more commonly known. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Scythian1 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] what?

can you explain this to me? [3](you crossed my comments, I hope you will undue it quickly)--Pejman47 19:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Afghan Politicians

Hi. Well, I think "Afghan Politicians" is better. Here, the word "Afghan" is not an ethnic name, but a Nationality. In all over the world, the nationals of Afghanistan are known as "Afghan". For changing a category, you have to create another category with that new name. And then you have to go in each article and change the category name in the articles. That takes a very long time! But I suggest to leave it for instance.Ariana310 07:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
