[edit] Dari Persian
It's does not say "only Dari Persian", it in fact says "Dari (Persian: دری, pronounced [daɾi]) or Dari Persian", you saw the "or" there didn't you? I really think we should have "Persian" in brackets (like the articles title), coz as Dari Persian it looks like 2 different languages to people who don't know any better. So come on you lazy boy, whack those brackets on ;) Ryan4314 (talk) 14:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
There's no such thing as Dari or Dari Persian. In the shortcut Farsi-e-Darbari is called Dari. Meaning nothing else than the Farsi of the court,at that time referred to the Royal court. The people from Afghanistan (only the Farsiwans) speak Farsi as their native language and the actual Afghans(Pashtuns like the Taliban) speak a language called Pashtu. The people from northern Afghanistan which are Tadjiks and the people living in Tadjikistan are Farsiwans(Persians) by race,speaking Farsi(Dari) with only different dialects than their brothers in Iran. The seperation of all Persians was created through the Russian Zarists and Great Britain at the times of the "great game" in order to create a puffer zone between their empires.Thats why the Persians in Afghanistan ended up in a country which was named after the Pashtuns also named Afghans hence Afghanistan, the Taliban belong to their ethnicity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.63.249 (talk) 05:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Nabil Miskinyar
In the article Nabil Miskinyar could you come up with a published reliable source for: "Due to their common Mohammedzai tribe, Miskinyar is a loyalist to the former king Zahir Shah and expresses this bias in his political views."? Unfortunately original research such as "This is obvious if you have watched his channel." is not acceptable as a source. --Bejnar (talk) 16:46, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Warning
[edit] I Don't want to do this over and over agian: Using sourced information in a wrong way is vandalism
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Farhad Darya, you will be blocked from editing. Historian born 1975
[edit] Anwar ul Haw Ahadi
You wrote: "You should not use his book as a reference. He is the head the Afghan Mellat party so he is not reliable. Iranica, Britannica, Encyclopedia of Islam... those are reliable sources. Please revert your edits, supporting Ahadi, the head of the Afghan nationalist article... is really starting to show that you support Afghan nationalism yourself. If as you claim you do not support Afghan nationalism, then remove Ahadi as a reference." Padmanii (talk) 18:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have not edited the article on Anwar ul-Haq Ahadi. My edits to Afghan Mellat did not include any book by Ahadi. In the article Afghan, I did cite an article, not a book, by him that appeared in Asian Review for the limited purpose regarding actual usage in an academic publication of the word "Pashtun" to refer to the Pashtun people. I don't see how that is unreliable. --Bejnar (talk) 18:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] re: Edit wars
You wrote: "Again, you show that you either are an Afghan nationalist or you support Afghan nationalism. I have provided a reference for Farhad Darya being half Tajik. He keeps removing it. Do you understand that that is vandalism? There is little doubt in my mind now that you are indeed an Afghan nationalist. By the way, that user is the sockpuppet of user: Khampalak. You probably knew that though but chose to help out your fellow Afghan nationalists instead." Padmanii (talk) 18:34, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- I warned Historian born 1975 against edit warring, and suggested that he be civil, polite and cite reliable sources. I will give you the same advice. The discussion page for Farhad Darya is the place to work out issues like that, not an edit war. --Bejnar (talk) 19:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- Be aware of the Wikipedia:Three revert rule official Wikipedia policy which prohibits three full or partial reversions of the same article within 24-hours. This warning is also being given to Historian born 1975. --Bejnar (talk) 19:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing to discuss when it is ALREADY REFERENCED! You can go look it up in the Gale Virtual Reference Library yourself and that's what it says. Padmanii (talk) 19:01, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am having trouble here, I went to the Gale Virtual Reference Library, but did not find either the Biographical Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East and North Africa nor did a search for "Nasher, Farhad" produce any results. I even used "Nasher" as a keyword and got no results: "Results for Basic Search KE (Nasher) No Results matching your search term(s) were found." In searching a larger set of Gale databases all I found was references to the Nashers of Texas and their sculpture collection. I do note that WorldCat indicates that the Biographical Encyclopedia of the Modern Middle East and North Africa is a Gale publication that is available electronically, but I can't get it through either of the two portals available to me. It also shows a 2008 copyright, so maybe the databases that I have accessed haven't been updated yet. I don't know how Gale works that. I won't think that Gale would have differing source documents in different subscriptions to the Gale Virtual Reference Library, but maybe they do. I will keep trying for awhile. Any suggestions? --Bejnar (talk) 19:45, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
