Contents 1 Article move 2 removed sentence from the "Rise to power'section 3 fictional picture of Ahmad Shah Abdali coronation

[edit] Article move

The article should be moved Ahmad Shah Durrani. That is the most commonly name used in Encyclopedia of Islam, Britannica, etc. CanadianAnthropologist (talk) 00:01, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed sentence from the "Rise to power'section

I removed the following sentence because it did not belong in that section and also we can't have Farsi in the English Wikipedia.

Abdullah Khan Popalzai uses the word Khorasan when Ahmad Shah Abdali was laying-down and executing the master plan of Kandahar City:

دمی که شاه شهامت مداراحمدشاه به استواری همت بنای شهر نهاد، جمال ملک خراسان شد این تازه بنا زحادثات زمانش خدا نگهدارد

[edit] fictional picture of Ahmad Shah Abdali coronation

That image was fictional and not historical so it was removed from the history section. According to Encyclopedia of Islam's article on Ahmad Shah Durrani, he was declared Shah on the trip from Mashhad to Kandahar. There never was a coronation at Kandahar.

Banned User:Beh-nam that is called vandalism and I have reverted your vandalism. Leave his images in there so the article looks better. An image does not have to be from that actual time, it could be made to look as if it was during that time. You and banned User:Tajik made your point that you hate Ahmad Shah so much that you would not even leave his images in his article. You two are low lives, what can you possibly gain from this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.30.69.18 (talk) 23:55, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
