Talk:Pashtun people

The quality of your comments on Talk:Pashtun people is pretty poor. Please have constructive criticism on other editors and try to work with them on improving articles instead of trolling around. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 12:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

No personal attacks

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

I refer to your comments here. If you continue with such behaviour you may receive a sharper warning for your disruption. – Riana _ऋ 09:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Your comments

As User:Riana already reminded you, I do not see any necessity to write it again. I could have reported your personal attack and insult, but I can see you are new to wikipedia. You thought that I am a Pashtun because I reverted your edits. In fact, I am a Tajik. The reason for removing your edits in Afghanistan page was:

• they were redundant, they were already mentioned in other paragraphs
• you inserted your sentences in an inappropriate position, breaking the reference with the related sentence
• your edits was in a very poor language level, and not compatible with the encyclopedic style, for example writing "God knows"
• you did not provide any source for your edits.

I removed the following sentence from Tahir Badakhshi's article: According to Mahboobullah Kushani, one of the members and followers of Badakhshi's political ideas, Tahir Badakhshi was inspired by the liberal movements in Khorasan conducted by Abu Muslim Khorasani, Tahir Phoshanji, Saffarids and Samanids historically. In fact it was me who had written this sentence. And later I noticed that it is POV since Mahboobullah himself is a member of that party. So we cannot keep such statements. Thank you for considering the above points.Ariana310 15:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Samanid map

Hello. I saw you tried to upload that map but didn't work because you put the wrong license on it. I will fix the license for you so that it stays here. Basically you have to put a proper licensing tag on it. Here is list of the copyright tags you can use for next time you upload images: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags --Behnam 17:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I fixed it. You can now add it back to the article. --Behnam 17:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

An Automated Message from HagermanBot

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 19:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Your edits

Please read once again the Welcome Template which User:Beh-nam put in this page to you: How to edit an article, how to cite the sources, how should the text be written, what is a POV, etc.

• Anything you write, you must give the full reference (Name of book, author, date of publication, edition, place of publication). Any un-sourced text can be removed by anyone who is not agree with it.
• Please write the text in the appropriate section. For example you wrote about the people of Kambojas, the people of Kalnari, Nuristani, Pashai and others in the section "Origin of the word Afghan", while they had nothing to do with it. The main objective of the text was unknown.
• Do not copy texts from original articles. For example you copied the text from the article "Origins of the name Afghan" to the main article of Afghanistan. I removed it, because the article of Afghanistan must be very short and a resume of other sub-articles. We cannot put everything into it, and that's why sub-articles were created. That's why I did not remove your texts in the article Origins of the name Afghan.
• Your texts have much syntax errors, if someone copy-edits it, do not revert it.
• Keep your Personal Attacks, Insults and Accusations away that can lead you getting blocked. If you again made personal attacks to me, I will report you to the Administrators notice board.Ariana310 08:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Ariana310 is right. I also think you should first read a little more on the Welcome Template. Also please stop accusing Arian310 of being "Awghoan". He is not "Awghoan". And even if he was you should be equally polite to everyone Wiki. --Behnam 15:37, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply

Salam. It's okay, there's no problem. You had misunderstood me, and I am happy that it is resolved now. I am sure you know very much about the history of Iran-zameen, and you can share your knowledge in here. But the point is that we should respect some rules and regulations of wikipedia. We cannot do everything we want, or we cannot write everything that we have read.

You can add the points or the texts yourself in Afghanistan and Samanids articles, and if there was any grammatical error or needed any copy-editing, I will fix them. Khuda Hafez -Ariana310 17:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
