== Hey == |
|||
I'm wondering as to why you made [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/NisarKand&diff=145746104&oldid=130393433 this edit]. I reverted it as it was just a {{tl|checkuser}} template. Were you trying to request one? <font face="comic sans ms">[[User:Kwsn|<span style="background: #23238E; color: #FFFF00;">'''Kwsn'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Kwsn|<span style="background: #23238E; color: #FFFF00; ">(Ni!)</span>]]</sup></font> 22:39, 20 July 2007 (UTC) |

==Taliban image reversion.== |
|||
I am unsure whether you read the talk page before arbitrarily reverting the images placed. I have reverted back to the original of the page, ie: without the offending images. Please read the talk page, the matter is not to do with the relevance of the image, although the neccessity could be called into question. The matter is with the fact the images advocate a political group and advertise their URL on the images, furthermore links to gore footage for the sake of agenda pushing is included in their write-up's, this is not encylopedic. Please do not revert this change again. [[User:Jachin|Jachin]] 13:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC) |

== Afghan Politicians == |
|||
I did the renaming based on a [[WP:CFD/S|CFD Speedy]], so you would need to place a comment on that page, stating oppose. If people agree with you, ill revert them back.

==Durrani Empire== |
|||
It has been determined by a consensus of neutral editors and administrators that the articles under the various ''countries'' listed on the [[Template:History of Greater Iran]] should receive templates specific to those countries, and NOT the [[Template:History of Greater Iran|History of Greater Iran template]]. Please do not impugn the valid use of the template by insisting on placing it on these articles. The more specific template prevails. With regard to your assertion that "thats not the issue, the main issue is that today's afghanistan was then iran", it is true that, prior to [[Nader Shah]]'s death, the Shah ruled over Kandahar, although the exact extent of his rule is not clear. Prior to Nader Shah, the Hotaki dynasty had controlled much of that area independent of Persian Safavid rule, starting with the city of Kandahar in 1709. And certainly, neither [[Adil Shah]], nor his successors, controlled very much of what is now modern Afghanistan during the Durrani Empire. I hope this begins to explain why the [[Template:History of Afghanistan]] is more appropriate for this and subsequent history of Afghanistan articles. Please see also the article [[Origins of the name Afghan]]. You are free to discuss these issues on the various talk pages; however, wholesale insertion of the [[Template:History of Greater Iran]] without achieving consensus will be regarded as vandalism. You have been warned. --[[User:Bejnar|Bejnar]] 21:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
On a separate note, your edit of 01:27, 9 August 2007, to [[Durrani Empire]] restored grammatical errors that had been corrected. Please use ''undo'' only to remove vandalism or simple error. Otherwise, please edit carefully. If you disagree with a position, don't revert the edits, take the time to state your position on the article's talk page. --[[User:Bejnar|Bejnar]] 21:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |

:"The late King was always fondly referred to by all Afghans, cutting across ethnic boundaries, as "Baba-e-Millat" or 'Father of the Nation', a position given to him in the country's Constitution passed in January 2004, about two years after the collapse of Taliban rule."

==Taliban piped link to 2007 South Korean hostage crisis in Afghanistan== |

Thank you for your concern for vandalism in the [[Taliban]] article. On 21 August 2007 you changed the piping on a reference link from [[2007 South Korean hostage crisis in Afghanistan]] to [[2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis]].

== ban for [[User:Tajik]] == |
|||
Hello. I complained to several admins about the ban they placed on [[User:Tajik]]. He is being accused of being [[user:Tajik-Professor]]. I know for a fact that that is not him. [[User:Tajik]] has been on Wikipedia for 3 years and is the best contributer I have seen, just look at his awards and his record. [[User:Tajik-Professor]] also lives in Germany and that is why his IP is in the same range, but the admins looked more '''carefully''' they would see their IPs are not the same. Also, [[User:Tajik-Professor]] if you check my talk page you can see he asked me for help. Obviously [[User:Tajik]] who is a veteran editor wouldn't be asking me for help and other easy things like how to open an article! You can see that '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Beh-nam#Can.C2.B4t_you_add_thepic_for_me.3F here]'''. So please take a look at this and review this again because its very obvious once you see this and we need [[User:Tajik]] on Wikipedia, he is the best editor that I know of, so please do look into this. It is whats best for the Encyclopedia and I am very concerned about the articles without him. Thank you. --[[User:Beh-nam|Behnam]] 21:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:I don't think it really matters whether Tajik is indeed Tajik-Professor; it is quite clear, especially considered the history of [[Safavid dynasty]], that Tajik is editing from anonymous IPs and/or using sockpuppets to evade his block. -- '''[[User:Tariqabjotu|<font color="black">tariq</font><font color="gray">abjotu</font>]]''' 01:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC) |
|||
But if you check his talk page/block log, it shows that the reason he was banned was because he was prematurely accused of being [[user:Tajik-Professor]]. Please check his block history [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Tajik&oldid=139298634#Blocked_3 here]. It says, ''"Tajik, the determination was made based on a CheckUser result, which showed that it was highly likely that both User:Tajik-Professor and other anons are you based on IP evidence. Dmcdevit·t 01:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)"''. If the reason provided by the admin for his ban is false than that ban is illegitimate don't you think? --[[User:Beh-nam|Behnam]] 03:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)UTC) |
|||
: Hello? I think you missed my last reply. Please take a look at it, this is an important issue. Thanks. -- [[User:Beh-nam|Behnam]] 19:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::''If the reason provided by the admin for his ban is false...'' But, I don't believe the reason provided by the admin for his ban was false. How would you know the checkuser data is faulty? How can you look at the IPs of Tajik and Tajik-Professor? -- '''[[User:Tariqabjotu|<font color="black">tariq</font><font color="gray">abjotu</font>]]''' 21:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::: Hello again, sorry for the long delay. I know both of these users personally. {{User|Tajik}} is a medical doctor in Germany and {{User|Tajik-Professor}} is a student in Germany. If that is not confivincing enough, on my talk page and other user's talk page {{User|Tajik-Professor}} on many occasions has asked for help on very simple tasks that a veteran user like {{User|Tajik}} would know already, he came on long before and I was asking him for help so obviously it wasn't him asking me now how to cite sources and other simple tasks. The admin who accused him of this simply looked at the IP range or the first two digits not the entire IP and because both users had the word '''Tajik''' in their user names, the admin quickly assumed they were the same user without even investigating. Please again check their IP address and you will see they are not the same IP. {{User|Tajik}} is the probably one of the most valuable editors in Wikipedia and there is no replacement for him, 3 articles are featured thanks to him and he has several awards and has written some solid articles. He is too valuable to loose just because an admin didn't do his job thoroughly. Can you please check their IP addresses again? Please, this is for the good of the community. --18:03, 22 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::::I do not have checkuser capabilities and cannot check the IP addresses of the two users. I have a feeling this has been investigated already and that no one with checkuser capabilities will address it again. Personally, I don't believe your explanation. I can't understand why a student would give himself the name "Tajik-''Professor''". I don't see how you could know these two people. On your userpage you have said you are from Canada or Afghanistan and never mentioned being from Germany (or having knowledge of German). Additionally, the coincidence that the two suspect users, even according to your explanation, come from the same country is hard to ignore. (By the way, I have filed a RfCU at [[Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Tajik]].) -- '''[[User:Tariqabjotu|<font color="black">tariq</font><font color="gray">abjotu</font>]]''' 02:32, 23 August 2007 (UTC) |

:::: Thatcher had banned [[User:Tajik]] with no reason. Now, he is accusing me of being Tajik, while I am not. [[User:Tajik]] lives in [[Hamburg]]. He has even used various IPs from the University of Hamburg; the same IP was also used by the Wikipedia admin known as [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise]] who is also German and works at the University of Hamburg. In fact, he and Tajik know each other in person (ask him if you do not believe me). I am writing to you from [[Kassel]] in [[Hessia]] (if you check my IP, you'll see that I am right) - I know Tajik from various forums (I am also from Afghanistan, just like him). Thatcher's claim that Tajik is the same person as [[User:Tajik-Professor]] is more than rediculous. Thatcher simply needed a reason to ban Tajik in order to support his favourite Wikipedian: [[User:Atabek]]. And because Thatcher did not have ANY proofs, he simply took the similar name to accuse Tajik. Everyone who had followed Tajik's edits knows that [[User:Tajik-Professor]] was a sockpuppet of [[User:NisarKand]]. His edits are totally contradictory to those of Tajik, and various socks of NisarKand had already vandalized Tajik's page. Tajik has requested twice an unblock in order to explain his situation, but Thatcher has refused to give him a chance. Instead, he is continuing to further expand his pointless accusations. Interestingly, last week, [[User:DerDoc]] was also banned as a suspected sockpuppet of Tajik. The funny part is that DerDoc is a medical doctor from [[Vienna]] in Austria, using 193.xxx IPs. Any checkuser file would prove this simple fact. But like in the case of Tajik, DerDoc, too, was banned '''without''' any checkuser file. Not even NisarKand (this time in the shape of User:[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Rabeenaz Rabeenaz]) claims that DerDoc is Tajik, although he has (with the active support of Atabek, as one can see in his contributions' history) tagged various accounts without any permission, claiming that all of them are socks of Tajik - just like Atabek. Prior to DerDoc's case, another user, namely [[User:German-Orientalist]], a German Iranologist from [[Dortmund]], was also banned because of the same reason. The only ''proof'' against him was a weak checkuser result, saying that a link to Tajik would be ''possible''. Interestingly, Thatcher - the one who has banned Tajik because of false accusations and whose wrongs have been exposed - was enganged in almost all of the cases mentioned above. I've talked to [[User:E104421]] who was part of the ArbCom which endorsed Tajik's ban, and he was shcked as well, because it was very clear from the beginning on that he and the ArbCom were used by ''certain admins'' to get Tajik banned. In order to '''muzzle''' Tajik, admin Thatcher131 used a wrong accusation against him and got him banned. In the following process, Tajik was prevented (by Thatcher) from defending himself in the ArbCom, and was banned indef. The same Thatcher131 did not mind to ban known vandals of the Azerbaijan-Armenia ArbCom for only 1 year, even though many of them used sockpuppets. However, in case of Tajik, only one '''wrong''' accusation of Thatcher was enough to get him banned forever. This is very very very very very suspicious and does very much look like a conspiracy against [[User:Tajik]]. And everything points to admin Thatcher: |
|||
::::* Thatcher131 initiated an ArbCom along with a few others |
|||
::::* Thatcher131 made up wrong accusations against Tajik (i.e. that Tajik is Tajik-Professor, a claim that has been proven wrong twice since then!) |
|||
::::* With this accusation, Thatcher got Tajik banned and prevented him from defending himself in the ArbCom |
|||
::::* Thatcher's accusations also forced the judges to endorse Tajik's ban (the same ban that was initiated by Thatcher) |
|||
::::* 7 checkuser files were requested against Tajik, and 90% either proved that the accusations were wrong, or did not have clear results (''... possible ...'', ''... likely ...''', ''...unlikely ...''), the other 10% were rejected anyway |
|||
::::* Thatcher refuses to request a checkuser file in case of DerDoc, German-Orientalist, and Tajik-Professor. The reason is very simple: since these 3 people are '''NOT''' the same person, they '''CANNOT''' be Tajik's socks at the same time. That means that Thatcher's accusations are wrong, and that he abused his admin rights to get a user banned whom he did not like (or maybe what he had to say). |
|||
:::: Thatcher's edits seem to be coordinated with those of Atabek. And Atabek's edits are certainly coordinated with those of [[User:Rabeenaz]]. Anyway, this case needs to be investigated. Other admins need to take a look at this, and many other Wikipedians need to urge ''neutral'' admins to have a look at Tajik's case, and Thatcher's admin rights. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/84.58.177.136|84.58.177.136]] ([[User talk:84.58.177.136|talk]]) 01:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Anoshirawan == |
|||
Neither you nor he own the articles in question, anyone can post to them. Some of his edits make no sense, such as when he said the Afghanis 'Joined the British Empire into submission'. And some of his edits are clearly unsourced POV, such as his claims about on radio station owner being 'notorious', or claiming another station was pro- one ethnic group, and anti- another. Those are serious claims that could be considered libel. They may be true, but Anoshirawan posted no sources and continued to post no sources no matter how many times I asked for them, ignoring me completely. Unless he or you can post reliable sources for these accusations, Wikipedia policy requires that such claims be deleted. If you want me and the several other people who have reverted him to stop, then please start following policy - start posting sources for your claims. Thank you.

== Stating India had little cultural influence over Afghanistan is Absurd == |
|||
You say that Iran was the primary culture provider, but you neglect many facts. Afghanistan was conquered by Indian empires many times and ME/NEern empires often united both states many times. In 630 AD Kabul. The source for that is in this book |
|||
:Hazra, Kanai L. Rise and Decline of Buddhism in India. 1998th ed. New Delhi: Munishiram Manharlal, 1995. |

:::And also If I am wrong, why do so many sources still support me that Afghanistan is South Asian? [[User:Thegreyanomaly|Thegreyanomaly]] 06:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC) |

:::And also if there was only little influence, why would it be in the indosphere?[[User:Thegreyanomaly|Thegreyanomaly]] 06:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:::Also take a look at the following pages; [[Indo-Greek Kingdom]], [[Greco-Buddhism]], [[Indo-Parthian Kingdom]], [[Pala_Empire#Peace_and_Expansion]], [[Indo-Scythians]], [[Maurya Empire]], [[Kushan Empire]]. Both States were under the same rulers for long periods of time, and Buddhism (which is clearly non-Persian) was the majority religion of Afghanistan during these periods.

Hi Behnam |

On 7th September, you proposed renaming [[:Category:Afghan politicians]], at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for discussion/Log/2007 September 17#Category:Afghan_politicians|CfD September 17#Category:Afghan_politicians]]. That CfD was closed today with a consensus to keep the name as is, but you made a new (and almost identical) nomination at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 September 23#Category:Afghan_politicians|CfD September 23#Category:Afghan_politicians]]. As you will see, I have just speedily closed that nomination. |
|||
Once a CfD is closed, please accept the result, and do not just nominate it again; repeated nominations are considered [[WP:DE|disruptive]]. If you still feel that the category is wrongly named, you may nominate it again in a few months time, explaining what you think has changed since the last debate on the category.
