[edit] Pashtun people review

Pashtun people is up for Featured article review here. The review period has just started so there'll be plenty of time to address concerns. This is obviously the top article for this WikiProject, so hopefully people watching can go to the review and make suggestions. Marskell 11:37, 19 October 2006 (UTC) please do not merge "SARWANI" with "SHERWANI"tribe as the actual original tribe is known as SARWANI.58.65.185.107 11:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 20:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Please don't leave tanolis out of Pashtun family of tribes. They are pashtun and this is accepted fact. Who's this super shaytan to tell us we are not pashtun? We want to know who he is. Is he some tribal who is trying to keep people out of being pashtun or is he just a mischeif maker. Tanolis are a great people and they are Afghan let noone be mistaken about that.

[edit] Economist article

An interesting, if controversial, article on Pushtuns was published in the Dec 23rd 2006 issue (vo 381; 8509) under the title "Honour among them". It may prove useful in referencing points. Andeggs 20:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 22:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
