Talk:Hamid Karzai/Archive 1

message: Under his picture, it says his place of birth is "Karz village, Qandahar" but Qandahar is the capital of Kandahar province, so shouldnt the link be Kandahar (linking to the page Kandahar province, not Qandahar (province) since that is not a province) --AlexTheMartian 21:01, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

message: *Lemonde.fr: At the moment (December 21, 2004), Lemonde.fr links to the English version of Wikipedia's biography of Hamid Karzai. Good for us, that it calls us ¨le site d'une encyclopédie (en anglais)" (an encyclopedia's website, in English), but it shows us that our French translation leaves a lot to be desired.

message: "Several sources, most notably the documentary film Fahrenheit 9/11, have reported that Karzai once worked as a consultant for the oil company Unocal."
Since when is Farenheit a "DOCUMENTARY"?  It's my understanding that a documentary film is factual.  I would suggest this word be removed from the text as Moore's movie was not truthful.

message: The only Bay Area restaurant I know named "Afghani House" is in Sunnyvale, and is not part of the Karzais' chain.  Their SF location is, as far as I know, also called Helmand.  Can anyone locate a link that says otherwise? Auros 21:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The "other information" section was removed by this user.  I added it back since I don't see anything on this talk page about removing such information -- I will add back due to WP:Assume Good Faith and WP:Editing Policy (" If you make deletions, you should try to explain why you delete their contributions in the article talk page. This could reduce the possibility of reverting wars and unnecessary arguments. So, whatever you do, try to preserve information.").  Here's a link to the last version of it: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hamid_Karzai&oldid=137365360
I do agree though with the user who ended up removing it, that the section itself should be be integrated into other parts of the article though --- though the the information should not be wholly removed (eg., the UNOCAL information is in popular culture now due to Fahrenheit 911 and it would be very odd to not mention it on Karzai's WP page). 99.245.173.200 22:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Just out of curiosity, is Karzai married? Divorced? Widower? Bachelor? I've never read anything about his immediate famly. Is it kept hush-hush for their safety? Kingturtle 01:42 Mar 14, 2003 (UTC)
:A short Google short brought the answer: Karzai is married, his wife is called Zinat, and a doctor by profession. They were married in 1998 and have no children. Andre Engels 18:11, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Karzai took part in the fight to oust the Taliban in 2001 / 2002 with a force of Afghans fighters embedded with U.S. special forces and the story of his unit is a very interesting one. It would make a nice addition to this article. Karzai showed a lot of bravery as did the  Afghan and American soldiers who fought alongside him.

message: Why was this line removed from the Former Taliban supporter section? It is from a new article from the Washington Post which is a well respected publication.

On August 20, 1998, after an attempt by the United States to kill Osama bin Laden with a cruise missile, Karzai praised the Taliban saying,
