Talk:Mes Aynak

message: Mes Aynak is the name of an ancient Buddhist monastery in Afghanistan from the 2nd century BC covering 4500 square metre which is under threat from mining currently (see article). This should be mentioned in the article. --Diggindeeper (talk) 12:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Since July 29, 2011 all information about the ancient Buddhist monasteries in Mes Aynak has completely been deleted from this article. I suggest to reinsert some of this information. In its current state the article gives the misleading impression that Mes Aynak is significant primarily due to a copper mine and a defunct Qaeda training camp. The article should point out as well that Mes Aynak is a significant cultural heritage site. --Diggindeeper (talk) 13:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: This article describes things quite differently from the angry 2nd paragraph of the Archaeological excavation section, which got left in the article with only a citation needed tag.Narayanese (talk) 08:11, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Aynak is in no way the world's second largest copper deposit. It is large, but 6 million tons of copper is surpassed by numerous other deposits worldwide. It is certainly the largest known copper deposit in Afghanistan.

message: I've moved it back to the spelling used in the sources, or at least most of them as I haven't checked them all. I was searching for the meaning of the name and it quickly became obvious that Mes Aynak was the best way to search and greatly outnumbered other spellings in Google Books and Scholar.
