Talk:Rubab (instrument)

message: The rubab is an AFGHAN instrument. I don't understand what relevance Iran has with it. It is mostly played and made in Afghanistan. And also, I had a nice big picture of the RUBAB. Please stop changing this page. 72.196.229.15 20:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Saying Rubab is an Iranian instrument is like saying the Hindustani tabla is from China, get the fact right please. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasser karimzad (talk • contribs) 04:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Homayun Sakhi.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Homayun Sakhi.jpg

message: I do not think it is going to be possible to keep this material separate from rebab. For one thing, material gets added to the wrong pages, for another the Sikh rebab is called rebab but is descended from plucked rubab, which is descended from bowed rebab (has to be since the word means "bowed") I propose a merge.

message: Unfortunately I'm not an expert on this topic so I'd rather not touch this article, but in July and August 2016 a large chunk of text was inserted into the article that seemed to consist largely of quotations and was largely off-topic, excessive or simply low quality and unhelpful. Most of it has already been removed, but the "Etymology" section is still of dubious value and quality, and might be best off removed altogether. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 18:24, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now removed it myself. The sections "Size variants", "Components" and "Notable players" also have problems of varying severity, but may be salvageable at least. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 18:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've edited the "Components" section and added wikilinks, based on my knowledge of western fretted instruments: I may have got some of the terms wrong, but hopefully it's an improvement. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 09:42, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology section 

message: Should the size of the instrument not be in metric units? It’s a trivial thing but Wikipedia should not be seen as a parochial US repository. Afghanistan is metric (has been since the 1920’s) as is some 95% of the world population. (I’m an old Brit, so inches mean something to me, not so to most people).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:5B95:FA01:F1F9:F650:C929:806B (talk) 10:05, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
