thread_title:  Merge with [[Bactria]] 

message: It seems to me as though this is a lion on the back of a centaur, not exactly a hunting scene. Can anybody who has seen it more clearly give a fuller explanation? 78.150.232.249 (talk) 22:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hunting scene,Kafyr Kala, Tajikistan, 7th century CE. National Museum of Antiquities of Tajikistan 

message: The first paragraph of the lead states that Tokharistan is an "ancient Early Middle Ages" name given to the region formerly known as Bactria. The use of ancient as a qualifier for Early Middle Ages seems strange and confusing. As I can gather from the article itself, it seems like the name has ancient origins, but only began to be used to designate a specific polity of some sort in the Early Middle Ages, in which case the lead should reflect that more clearly.
If I am wrong as to the nature of the term's usage, I still would argue it better to clarify what exactly is ancient and what is medieval about this term.

Talk:Takhar Province

message: This is in regards to the 2 recent successive edits by  within less than 5 minutes (, ), in which he removed the mention of Pakistan and China from the article. National borders are important to be mentioned for Takhar Province. Also to reach Takhar Province, you have to cross Kunduz Province first and Kunduz is the location of the main population center of northeastern Afghanistan so there is no harm to mention the provinces counterclockwise. I think his edits here are unconstructive. And appears as nationalistic. Khestwol (talk) 17:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: China and Pakistan have absolutely no links or connections to Takhar province. Therefore, these countries don't belong in this Afghanistan article. Also, when describing this province geographically, clockwise is the standard method.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 18:02, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: No, I don't think we do. Do you have any more examples, out of interest?. As there has been international media attention on the Bosnian hill, and we have a Wikipedia article on it, I think it's fair to mention it in this article, but perhaps not in the main list - maybe a good compromise would be to put it in a See Also section?

replies: text: In my opinion the Bosnian pyramid should be included on this list. Whether it is really a pyramid or not is beside the point - enough people claim that it is to make it's inclusion valid. --Gene_poole 01:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Zaheer Abbas

message: Zaheer should be identified as a Pakistan cricketer (his country) rather than Pakistani, which to many people is a derogatory racist description.  He originally came to Gloucestershire because they were tipped off before he came on his first Pakistan tour as a very young man, and they made him feel welcome and wanted.  Glo'shire have had Mike Procter and Courtney Walsh as overseas players who have stayed a while and made a big impact, not to mention Ian Harvey, so Zaheer is not unique in this regard.  Zaheer in those days had to qualify by residence, and he spent a year playing non-Championship, club and ground and benefit cricket, which got him round and about the County meeting people and making friends.  I have not checked, but I believe that Glo'shire has more occasions of a batsman scoring double hundreds plus single hundreds in the same first-class match than anybody else, and all but one are down to Zaheer.
*Re the first line, I thought it was a shorter form that is considered racist. Re the last, I saw a 1999 list which has four 200-100 for Gloucs (nobody else had three) and all four were made by Zaheer. Tintin (talk) 15:47, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

:The effectiveness of Hezb-e-Islami-and by extension, Hekmatyar-in fighting the Soviets is arguable. Most respected sources that I've consulted have claimed that he killed many more Afghans-mostly, if not exclusively, civilians-than Soviets by a large factor.

Talk:Laghman Province

message: Article states that it "discussed the conversion of Ashoka to Buddhism". It is not clear to me how the Aramaic Inscription of Laghman refers to conversion.Malaiya (talk) 00:16, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Ashoka's inscription

message: The whole article is filled with extremely racist terminology like "Kafirs" and "infidels" and is glorifying the murder and conversion of these people. I'm not talking about quotes using these words, those are obviously fine. I'm taking about the article itself using these words. 
Example : " He advanced and butchered the idolaters, destroying the temples and plundering their shrines, even risking frostbite on their hands counting the large booty" 
Another: 
" Laghman was the base for expeditions against the non-believers  "
and 
" Amir Abdur Rahman Khan forced the remaining kafirs (Nuristani people) to accept Islam."
Why can't words like Hindus and Buddhists or Native Religion followers be used? What is this article trying to teach young kids who will read it ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.64.206.180 (talk) 22:14, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

message: I think this section needs to sound a bit more scientific - some of the words used (to be pedantic) aren't the best such as nucleophilic attack by the amine being more "efficient", or saying that the carboxylate group is made more electrophilic when specifically it's the carbonyl group in the carboxylate species.

Talk:Murghab River (Tajikistan)

message: Oppose the suggestion to merge. Bartang and Murghab are shown as two separately named rivers on all maps of Tajikistan. Furthermore, according to the article Bartang, the Bartang forms "at the junction of the Murghab and Kudara Rivers just below Sarez Lake". Bartang is thus a confluence of two rivers — Murghab flowing from the east and Kudara from the north-east — and there is no justification for merging it with Murghab. There seems to be a confusion between Murghab and Bartang in the various interwikis, which should be gradually straightened out, but without merging the two rivers in en:wiki. I recommend removing the  template from Murghab River. --Zlerman (talk) 15:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

message: In late March, a set of lengthy edits were made to several of the Bach keyboard pages. They were subsequently removed by the author in a snit after wikify tags were placed but were later restored. I feel the content is excessive for the article as it stands and needs to be slimmed down, wikified, chopped at, sourced, etc etc etc. Until it is more germane to an article on the French Suites, I am moving it here. The prolix intro can be excised altogether. The tidbits about the copyists is interesting but can be abbreviated. And the whole thing needs to be properly sourced, of course. I am surprised that Mr. Baxendale's university essay does not contain any notes; if any editor wishes to restore the material (or part of it), I strongly suggest that citations be provided, particularly for the claims that, as it stands below, flirt with WP:OR.

I've found no references to the alleged monies, and the location 'Simonstown, Colombo' doesn't exist.  The article, which makes no mention of the bullion, agrees with my sources.  I've removed the statement, but if anybody has got more information, please put it in the article.  Incidently, the dates of becoming a training ship and of being scrapped were also in conflict with the article itself, and with my sources, so I've changed those too.
