replies: text: The Khan might have declared on 12 August, but it would have taken effect from 14/15 August, which were the official dates of the departure of the British. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

message: We know almost nothing about most of the rulers of this Khanate. It was not a significant pre-modern power and at best, we can write a single decent paragraph (or, in some cases, a single line) about most rulers prior to 1800. After that, courtesy British meddling in the region, we have considerable details about politico-military affairs of the state  biographical details etc. continue to be absent. 
Ahmad of Kalat—under whom Balochistan acceded to Pakistan—is an exception and has not been proposed for merge. We also have a page on Khan of Kalat, which I have not proposed for merging. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:28, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Any ideas on what purpose Khan of Kalat might serve? Or else, I will add that to merge-list. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:15, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Khan of Kalat should merge, along with all non-notable individual khans. -Evansknight (talk) 20:24, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi @Sutyarashi,
I saw you removed the top template and said "Clearly sourced". Some clarification, the top template is not referring to the lead. Its actually to the article as a whole. So, the subheadings of Geography, Subdivisions, Princely states under British Raj and Rulers of Kalat are not sourced. So instead of including a "citation needed" or "unsourced" template on each of those headings (which looks ugly) I just included one at the top.
So this is why the template was placed there in the first place. The lead is sourced but the other parts of the article is not. This is how it is for all wiki pages. Btw, the lead doesn't even need citations if it takes info from the contents in the article based on wiki policy. Danial Bass (talk) 22:37, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

message: The Spooner (2011) reference in the infobox supports Persian being used in administration. However, Persian has now been turned into the Khanate's court language. This is not supported by the Spooner reference as far as I can see. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:20, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Iranica mentions Persian being used as the language of written communication (but no mention of use in court or amongst the ruling dynasty?). - LouisAragon (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @LouisAragon so perhaps the court language should be changed back into administrative language? Sutyarashi (talk) 00:34, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
