To the contributor,
You are more than welcome to add information to Wikipedia, but it should be your own information, not material copied from some other website. I encourage you to rewrite the material in your own words so that we will have an article on the topic. Alternately, if you own the copyright to the site from which the text was taken, please state so here. Thanks, Danny
The article is confused between the Afghan province and the part of Tajikistan of the same name.  Gorno-Badakhshan (which is simply a half-Russifed translation of Mountainous Badakhshan) is the eastern part of Tajikistan.  Its capital is Khorog. FitzHugh 17:51, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Economics : "Massive Resources" 

message: This sentence is confusing, since the English grammar is incorrect. You cannot use "since" with "was" in this way. It should be either:
"Since ancient times, Badakhshan has been the world's only source of lapis lazuli."
or
"In ancient times, Badakhshan was the world's only source of lapis lazuli."
The first sentence is clearly wrong, since there *are* sources of lapis elsewhere (eg the Chilean Andes), so I assume it is the second, and have edited. 86.158.191.125 (talk) 11:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Please add the common phonetic pronunciation of this word, and not the academic but obfuscatory IPA pronunciation.
As a native American English speaker, I'm guessing it's pronounced Baa-dack-SHAN.
I think there should be a wiki project to add what I'm calling common phonetic pronunciation for needed words. I think the IPA pronunciation guide is unhelpful...it requires learning an other language and is frustrating to many readers...altho both could be used.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.138.70.132 (talk) 05:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your idea has something to it, but I think you need to start here with your proposal: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals . There needs to be uniformity and consensus if all 3,000,000 plus pages on wikipedia will have a new method of transliterating foreign terms. Please keep us informed.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Removed the Mauryan empire section because it was unsourced information - the only source given was Nancy Hatch Dupree / Aḥmad ʻAlī Kuhzād (1972). "An Historical Guide to Kabul - The Name". American International School of Kabul. Retrieved 2010-09-18. which refers to the history of Kabul, not Badakhshan (what the article is about). The text even refers to "territory south of the Hindu Kush" even though Badakhshan is in the northeast. Plus it was pretty randomly placed. I'm sure someone just lazily copied and pasted it from another one of the Afghan-related pages assuming every province of Afghanistan has the same history. 77.98.4.100 (talk) 15:19, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
