[edit] Copyright issues

Regarding the recent dispute over the {copyvio} tag: I've deleted the one paragraph (about his early life) that did indeed appear to be copied directly from Encyclopedia Brittanica. It's possible that I missed some other bits - if so, I'd encourage User:Quatloo to ~~remove them~~ point them out specifically. This technique - simply removing or reverting copyright-violating text, in situations where most of the article is legitimate - is generally accepted on Wikipedia.

I have checked the Encyclopedia Britannica and compared it to this article, and the copyright infringement seems to have been successfully purged. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 20:00, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV violation

Reads like a polemic against Nur Muhammed Taraki and the PDPA, so I slapped an NPOV tag on it. Hopefully someone knowledgable on the subject matter can edit in a less biased manner. --Nicky Scarfo 03:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Some jerk took the NPOV tag off without even a discussion on the matter, so I'm slapping it back on, until someone knowledgeable on the subject can edit so the article doesn't read like an anti-Taraki/PDPA polemic. If you're looking to push your own political biases, someone should be prepared to defend and source their arguments at the least and before taking off the NPOV tag, discuss why they think the article does not violate NPOV. --Nicky Scarfo 20:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Dammit! As soon as I put the NPOV tag back on, someone keeps taking it off. We can play this game all day, but why don't you at least say WHY you don't think it violates NPOV before removing the tag, cause otherwise I'm just gonna keep putting it back on without comment. This is ridiculous.--Nicky Scarfo 21:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

It is you the one that must specify why is not NPOV. Tag removed once again. Messhermit 22:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My father worked for him

My dad worked for him as one of his english/urdu translator for one year during his rule from 78 till his death. My dad named me 'Noor Muhammad' after him cos my das was very fond and loyal to him. When he was murdered, my dad left afghanistan and came to birmingham, england. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noorkhanuk85 (talk • contribs) 22:39, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
