[edit] copyvio reverted

I have reverted to February 2006 to remove a copyvio cut-and-paste from http://www.geocities.com/manji_azra/Hazarajat.html. There may be some bits that were added on subsequently that were not modifications of the copyvio text, if someone wants to search the history, but getting rid of the copyright violation takes precedence. - BanyanTree 01:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Same text has been incorporated and removed again. -- Whpq 21:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article to be deleted

Everything in this article is false, there is no officially named place in Afghanistan that is called Hazarajat. This article is stupid which is made by Hazara nationalists.--Panjshiri-Tajik (talk) 01:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the speedy tag and am sending this to AfD because I think this is too contentious a matter not to warrant some discussion by the Wikipedia community. I take no position, just want to see the right thing done, that's all. Accounting4Taste:talk 01:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Since the place is verifiably real, I will add some basic sources and apply some minor cleanup. Some of the numbers in the infobox seem inflated compared to neutral 3rd party sources, but the article is no hoax. • Gene93k (talk) 07:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Afghanistan's total population is approximately 30 million, Pashtuns being 42%, Tajik (27%), Hazara (9%), Uzbek (9%), Aimak (4%), Turkmen (3%), Baluch (4%) and other small groups (4%). 9% of 30 million is not 9 million but less than 3 million. All the Hazaras of Afghanistan (which is 9% of the total population of Afghanistan) do not live in this mountainous region called by them as Hazarajat, many of them also live OUTSIDE of Hazarajat, in non-Hazara cities such as Kabul, Mazari Sharif, Herat, Kandahar, etc. So the maximum number is 2.5 million which I placed, but it may be even less than that. Britannica is not reliable source, anyone can change the info there.--Panjshiri-Tajik (talk) 14:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Panjshiri-Tajik said: "Britannica is not reliable source, anyone can change the info there." It is very difficult to change the text of the 1911 Encyc. Britannica, it was printed. In addition to the electronic versions available on the web, some of us have printed copies. --Bejnar (talk) 04:55, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

If Panjshiri-Tajik doesn't like the Encyclopedia Britannica, how does she/he feel about the Encyclopedia Iranica which has an article on Hazaúrajaút at: "Historical Geography of Hazaúrajaút"? --Bejnar (talk) 21:05, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] November 28, 2007 revert

Reverting all changes by sock-puppet Panjshiri-Tajik also brought back the sourcing problems for the removed restored content. The statements in this article need to cite neutral and WP:RELIABLE third-party sources. • Gene93k (talk) 08:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] December 7, 2007 revert

I just reverted changes by anonymous user 122.148.70.11, which restored copyvio of The mother land Hazarajat page [1]. • Gene93k (talk) 03:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
