message: I dont know who is writing this article but ayub khan was a proud pashtun not a hindko, maybe he was a hindko but hindkos are pashtuns loool. his parents were pashtuns, He spoke pashto, he grew up with pashtuns but at the end was labeled a hindko loool. the article must be written back to him being Pashtun and is noted in the history books as a pashtun.

thread_title: Confuse... and somehow hagiographic

message: Ayub Khan was a pushtun, given the fact that he was from a pushtun tribe called Tareen. But you are wrong at one place. 
You are WRONG to call all Hindkowans as Pushtuns. I am offended by this call being a Hashmi Awan (Pakistan) of Arab origin. Hindkowans is a group of people who belong to various tribes of Indian, Afghan, Persian and Arab origin. They came together and spoke a common language called Hindko. So a Hindkowan can be a Pushtun, punjabi or an Arab. It is possible for a person to be Hinkowan and Arab at the same time (like me) or Hindkowan and Pashtun at the same time like Ayub KHan. What language Ayub Khan spoke is a separate issue and I have no idea about it :). But his son and grandson, Gohar Ayub and Omar Ayub speak Hindko language. So they are Hindkowans of Pushtun origin.
I feel that it will not be wrong to call Ayub Khan a Hindkowan of Pushtun origin as he was from a Hazara and his family speak Hindko.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.131.166.20 (talk) 12:19, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ayub Khan was Pushtun 

message: there's a lot of grammatical errors that i couldnt go through and fix right now, also the point of views throughout the biography section, and the other sections could use some cleaning up.
You mean 'There are a lot of grammatical errors...' - the word errors is plural so you must predicate it as such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moarrikh (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar + POV 

message: Dear Wikipedia, I keep editing out the Category 'Pashtun people' and adding 'Pakistani people of Afghan descent', which is more accurate, but this first is added again and my entry deleted. I must please request some neutral Wiki overseer to kindly make an honest assessment -- according to every exisiting record Ayub Khan was a 'Hindkowan' Tareen, a Hindko speaker of Afghan descent/origin, whose elders had settled in Haripur area of Hazara division, now in Pakistan, during the 18th century. Even the old British military/army establishment classified such ethnic stock as 'Hazarawals and Hazarawal-Pushtuns' and not as Pathans/Pushtuns per se. You are very welcome to check this out and confirm. Like all such settlers, who have Pushtun/Afghan origins but might not be classified as 'Pashtuns' in the strictest sense today, the natural and most suitable classification or category here seems to be 'Pakistani (or Indian) people of Afghan descent'. Id be grateful if this change is duly implemented, thank you.

replies: text: Hi, I am neutral with respect to this but I removed the category as no source was given. Please give a reliable source which states that he is from Afghan decent and probably mention it in the article so that this can be classified under that category. If you have sources, you're free to make the edit. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

text: If you can cite the sources you claim inline and add this to the article, by all means change the category (and remember to remove the tags when you do). I do not dispute your additions but do ask for sources which are required per wikipedia's no original research policy. Thanks. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:58, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Ayub Khan's Ethnic Descent

message: Recently, there is a photo added by Lilpiglet, description of that photo reads as "Queen Elizabeth II, former Queen of Pakistan and Ayub Khan". I have confronted that term "Former Queen of Pakistan" for Queen Elizabeth ||, i do not think that this is a right term to use here. First of all this term is not verifiable by any reliable sources, secondly it is controvercial to begin with that she can be called Queen of Pakistan. Thirdly, even if she can be called as Queen of Pakistan, she can also be at the same time be called as Queen of Australia, India, Burma and so many other commonwealth nations so i do not see a point of mentioning her as Queen of Pakistan. There is another issue here. Subject of this article is Ayub Khan and not the Queen so photo description should say "Ayub Khan with Queen Elizabeth II and Commonwealth prime minister" and not the other way around. I will be changing the description to a description which won't seem controvercial and i suggest that description should not be changed. Anyone seeking to change the description and changing Queen's title to "Former Queen of Pakistan" must provide a reliable source which uses that term for her. Moreover, i will suggest people to not use the term "my work" because nobody owns any thing on Wikipedia, when something is released on Wikipedia, anyone can make changes to it. See Wikipedia: Ownership of articles. Sajjad Altaf (talk) 15:59, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Sajjad Altaf, by calling her Queen of India just goes to show how little (if any) you know of the subject and are reverting factual sources of information (as she NEVER was Queen of India (EVER). Here is an idea, go to Lahore and to the Quaid e Azam Library and study the archives there yourself for real sources. But then again, there is amble sources on wikipedia that already state this fact and if she wasn't former Queen of Pakistan, try to get that page removed as your fellow educated Pakistani historians or on the subject matter will disagree with you. Also search up how the Queen Elizabeth also wore Pakistani symbols of both East AND West Pakistan on her dress for her coronation (do you even know what coronation is?). Stop WP:STALKING with you disruptive edits on subjects you have no clue about and confrontation (not only is abusive in real life) but also goes against WP:ETIQ lilpiglet 20:09, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I only want you to comply with Wikipedia policies namely WP:RS, WP:V and WP:BURDEN before adding title Queen of Pakistan for her into that description. If you think there are ample sources on Wikipedia which gives her status of Queen of Pakistan please cite them here. Also i am not sure which page you are referring to which states her as Queen of Pakistan, i am sure that page would not have any reliable sources as well. Also, i do not care what she wore or did not because burden of proof WP:BURDEN is on the person who wants to add that information in the article and not on me so please provide a reliable source which clearly mentions her as Queen of Pakistan and i would not have any problem if you add that title for her and that would settle the matter. Moreover Wikipedia articles upon themselves are not reliable sources and they cannot be used for that purpose. Please stop abusing me and discuss the subject matter.

– This article has been moved numerous times and it seems there's never been any discussion about it. The underlying issue appears to be that we have a set index article at the common name for this person. As this person is the primary topic, the solution is simple: move the set index article out of the way. Problem solved. I could have quite simply done a round-robin move but going through a formal move request, we can settle the issue once and for all. Schwede66 22:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
