Lawik dynasty

[edit]

Please take a look at a new article I created today, Lawik dynasty. Thanks, Khestwol (talk) 20:00, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Khestwol: It's a good article and well referenced. Thanks for creating it. Good to informatize the ancient history of Afghanistan. --Weaveravel (talk) 20:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Jalalabad (1989)

[edit]

Fortunately, information about it is already available on Afghan Civil War (1989–1992). Maybe you can expand it to create the new article. Unfortunately I cannot find enough time to do it myself. But maybe in the future I will edit. Thanks, Khestwol (talk) 14:29, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Khestwol: Yes, there is info about it but considering it's a highly important event it deserves an article of its own. I actually wanted to create the article myself but I too don't have the time for an entire article currently. But thanks anyway. --Weaveravel (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan misinformation

[edit]

Hi In British empire page the new map is misguided. Afghanistan was never a colony of British empire. The map that have been recently changed (vandalized) should be restored to previous map. It seriously undermines the credibility of Wikipedia. Thank you.

Discretionary sanctions alert - India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan

[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Haqqani network

[edit]

Hi Weaveravel. I hope things are good for you. The edit you did to Haqqani network at 20:10, 8 September 2021‎ unfortunately reverted some edits I had done (which I presume you did not really mean to revert) as well as reverting other people's edits. I have undone that edit of yours to get things back to a better state, but I am finding it difficult to figure out what parts of your edit may have been good. The next edit you made, at 20:30, 8 September 2021‎, is intact, so don't worry about that one. You might want to check if there are parts of the first edit that you want to reinstate, but please do it carefully. It may be better to make several smaller edits, rather than one big one, to make it easier for others to follow what you are doing and why. All the best. Nurg (talk) 03:26, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nurg: Hello. I realize that a mistake was made by me here. There were a few new users or IPs that removed or altered key content at the top, namely the alledged allies of the group (it was reliably sourced as well) and the sentence about their deadly attacks (sourced, again). I was certain this was due to such editors removing without valid explanation or purposefully doing it for their own agendas, especially with the sensitivity of the topic and it being in the global news. Anyway, I did not see your edits at all, so I am sorry for reverting those with the batch. I did a whole rollback because I noticed several different editors having made changes. But thanks for letting me know now and for reinstating your edits. Also if you notice right now, there's been another new user that has put a long paragraph in the Ideology entry of the infobox. Stuff like these are exactly the reason why I requested protection for this article because many are making it messy. Do you agree it needs protection? --WR 19:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I have reverted that long paragraph in the Ideology entry of the infobox. I have also done some other repair work. I think the article is back to a reasonably good state. You might want to check the 'allies' part of the infobox – I am not as familiar as you with that material. If you make any changes in the infobox, be careful with the referencing, as there are some named references, where the detail of the citation is in the body of the article, not the infobox (e.g. <ref name=Coll_201-202/>). Also note the spelling of "alleged" (not "alledged"). I don't mind if the page is protected, but I am not sure how important that is. Certainly a close eye needs to be kept on the article for a while. Nurg (talk) 00:48, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the tips. I have been checking and at the moment the infobox seems to be in a good state. Also the page has now been protected as I gave evidence. Hopefully more patrolling will be done to prevent this again. Also I am thinking if Northern Alliance needs protection too, because the infobox (the "Allies") I have noticed have changed continuously in the past few weeks, I couldn't even keep track. --WR 15:59, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nurg: while Haqqani network is now protected, it doesn't take much to become autoconfirmed and I fear some non-IP users could still make problems. So yes it needs a close eye. But we're humans and we have our own lives and cannot always keep track. --WR 18:27, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A Barnstar for you!

Afghanistan, British Protectorate State

[edit]

There is significant amount of evidence I have added in the TALK page [1] of Second Anglo-Afghan War where it clearly states in all 8 references that Afghanistan was a PROTECTORATE state. Will you be ok to add correct information and references in the infobox of the article? Same for article British protectorate, where Afghanistan has been incorrectly added under Protected state instead of Protectorate state. 199.82.243.102 (talk) 11:26, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Error with reference at Soviet–Afghan War

[edit]

Hi Weaveravel. In this edit you did to Soviet–Afghan War you added a reference named "nsaarchive", but that reference is not defined in the article. Perhaps you meant to use a different reference, possibly "nsaessay". Are you able to correct it please? Thanks. Nurg (talk) 20:28, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, done. It was indeed "nsaessay". I double checked the ref to confirm. --WR 11:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move

[edit]

Hello, I've done the move that you requested. Well done for spotting the inconsistency. Dr. Vogel (talk) 16:01, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DrVogel: Thanks. There is another follow-up request if you could check again. --WR 16:05, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yep done that one too :) Dr. Vogel (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. --WR 16:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again WR, I just wanted to let you know that somebody left a complaint on my talk page about this move. Dr. Vogel (talk) 17:27, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Twenty Year Society invitation should always be substituted

[edit]

This is regarding your edits, such as Special:Diff/1059254714. As per documentation of Template:Twenty Year Society invitation:

This template should be substituted (otherwise it will not display the signature line and it will place the page into Category:Pages with incorrectly transcluded templates).

The invitations that you've incorrectly transcluded have to be fixed, like so: Special:Diff/1067238542. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:03, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation pages

[edit]

Please note that disambiguation pages like Ziar and Shahzar are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
  • Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Since disambiguation pages are intended to help readers distinguish between similar titles, a disambiguation page with only one entry is useless. I have redirected Shahzar to Shahzar Rizvi. If disambiguation is needed in the future, Shahzar could be converted back into a DAB page. Leschnei (talk) 13:18, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Afghanistan conflict (1978–present) into Afghanistan. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 16:08, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Taibeh Ahmadi moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Taibeh Ahmadi, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 TT me 12:48, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
