| I don't know why you are sending around this banned user's edit from months ago to various admin talk pages. In the future, simply revert the edit and let him know that his ban will continue to be reset as long as he evades it. All appeals of ArbCom bans must go through ArbCom anyway, and none of the people you contacted could do anything about the matter even if they wanted. ]·] 20:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| I have only blocked you two times, not three. Any admin can see and read anything you've done--so yes they had every chance to see everything. I did not protect your talk page, someone else did. See my above entry of 23:25 too. You are not totally innocent in this or you wouldn't have the long block log that you do have nor have gotten your talk page protected; you even got indef blocked once and there are several admins who agree with me. What evidence you have that Hurooz is a sock? The whole root of this problem is that too many people who edit the articles you are interested in simply can't learn to get along with each other. Think about it. Finally, both sides of this topic you and Hurooz are in please go find another admin from now on.<span style="font-family: verdana;"> — ] • ] • </span> 03:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| So, I'm willing to sit down, have a cup of tea, and listen to what you have to say about the circumstances surrounding your block. However, I know that I, and I'm sure everyone else who will be dealing with this, would appreciate it if you tried to keep ], and just generally keep the tone ]. I'll work hard to do the same. --] (]) 04:24, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :I had previously blocked user's IP for evading the block but have unblocked so that they may discuss this.--] 05:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Hello again. Thank you very much. I do apologize for my previous frustration. It was as a result of the fact that recently the Admin ] has been pushed by certain users to get me banned. Rlevse has blocked me twice recently, and in the end he ended up unblocking me after further investigation (it was determined that the users asking for a block on me were sockpuppets of a user that was banned long ago, ]). Once again, a brand new ] appears and is somehow familiar with me and all my past edits and block and tries to get me banned by misrepresenting my diffs to Rlevse. So it was very frustrating that this is happening for the 3rd time. | |||
| But enough about that, I don't want to complicate things for you guys. | |||
| Basically, if you take a look at all this edits that I am accused of breaking rules on, there is nothing wrong any of them and I have not broken any rules at all. Infact in several of these diffs I have RV'ed vandalism (removing of sourced material) or removed POVs. Here they all explained: | |||
| *1)Although I did not reference it, the meaning of Durrani is common knowledge and it is also common knowledge to people with a backround in the history of the region that kings at that time had sex with young boys. I did not feel the need to reference at the time because I assumed it would be common knowledge for people interested in this topic. | |||
| *2) This is an RV of vandalism. It is already sourced in the articles '''infobox''' that he was born in Multan. Please just take a look a the infobox on that version. | |||
| *3) I explained that edit on the talk page . | |||
| *4) Putting ] sounds POVish, so I removed it to make it sound more neutral. | |||
| *5) This is an RV of an edit where some just inserted a large chunk of new content. It was very poorly written as you can see, that's why I removed it. | |||
| *6) The president's website is already on the president's article (]) and I don't think it needs to be on Afghanistan's article. | |||
| *7) I listened to him and asked for a guidance on external links, see . | |||
| *8) I RV'ed vandalism, someone removed '''referenced content'''. Not only did they remove well referenced content, there was consensus on this, please see the talk page . | |||
| Please take a look at these one by one and then please make a decision on whether I broke any rules. Thanks. -- ] (]) 09:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Well, just to start off I don't think anyone is trying to get you ] here; a ban is different from a ] and much more serious. Admins can't ban people on their own — so, don't worry; you ''will'' be back editing within a week no matter what. | |||
| :However, I think the problem people are having with your edits is that you're making some pretty inflammatory statements without providing sources, and then trying to keep them in without providing sources. For instance, in diffs 1 and 2 above, they both insert the "child molester/sex slave" comment without a source — I think that's the main source of umbrage here. Now, I'm not from the region, so I will take your word that it's common knowledge but since this is the English Misplaced Pages a statement like that really requires a citation, since most English speakers would have no idea what that word meant. There's also something distinct to be said about the term "child molester" in this context, since that term has a strong (modern) connotation which is probably not accurate given the historical context. | |||
| :With respect to some of the other edits, like (3), you were aware they were contentious but did them anyways — you should try to get ] ''first'' for your removal, when you expect them to be disputed. It's good to see that you're using the talk pages, but you've got the order backwards in the case of contentious material IMO. With 5, you should improve poorly written prose, not remove it solely because it's poorly worded. | |||
| :Anyways, the kind of general impression that you get from these edits is that of someone with an agenda. I'm not saying that you ''have'' one, but that it's the kind of thing that a person would draw out of it. With your long block history for edit warring over this subject area, it's probably not totally off base — at the very least, this is a subject which you are very passionate about. | |||
| :I'm willing to consider unblocking you, and I think Rlevse will go along since he's already commented that your comment have merit, but I'm interested in using this as an opportunity to try to calm down some of the edit warring that goes on around these topics — and try to set you on the right track, when you're unblocked. Now, what do you think would be a good kind of general agreement we could both live with about how you edit? I think a good start would be a commitment to discuss contentious edits ''before'' you make them and get ], to refrain from edit warring, and to source statements which a ''general'' reader would not know as common knowledge. These are all things which I think you will be doing anyways, so hopefully you won't think this too onerous — but I'm willing to listen to your suggestions as well. --] (]) 21:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| Thank you. Yes that is very reasonable. I will definitely use the Talk page for contentious edits '''before''' I edit. And come to think of it, you're right, we shouldn't assume that the reader has any background knowledge in these topics. Well another suggestion I would have for myself is to be more patient. I have a tendency to loose my patience and edit quickly. I think that's the main thing that might get me into edit wars sometimes. Overall, I totally understand you're reasoning also and I will make the utmost attempt to improve on these areas. Thank you for the guidance. -- ] (]) 23:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :No worries. I will talk to Rlevse about unblocking you early. You might have to wait a little bit. --] (]) 23:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| No problem, there's no rush. Thank you. -- ] (]) 23:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Rlevse has agreed, so I've unblocked you. Good luck, and happy editing. --] (]) 01:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==About a revert== | |||
| Did you actually mean to restore vandalism as indicated by this edit summary or was it a mistake? When reverting we need to go back and look at the history in case we revert to a vandalized version. Thanks.--] 03:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ==Afghani & Afghanistani== | |||
| I am sorry, but I don't see that the extensive discussion of last July is passé. If you mean by new sources the ones listed by ], I do not find them very convincing. Yes some English speakers do use Afghani, even fewer use Afghanistani, but by far and away the most common usage is Afghan, and by that as English speakers we do not mean Pashtun, even if Persian speakers do. When we say Afghan it includes Tajiks and Uzbeks and even Hazaras. --] (]) 04:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC) | |||
| This is an academic encyclepedia and we provide what is true and right. If English speakers use Afghan for non pashtuns then they are making a mistake and it should be corrected.Anoshirawan 04:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC) <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) {{{2|}}}</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
