Talk:Kabul University

message: Is this the same school also called "Habibiyah University"? Im not sure. Anyone?--Zereshk 00:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Identification

message: For those who can read Pashto/Farsi/Arabic/Urdu/etc, please confirm that the Kabul University seal on the article contains text that reads "Da Kabul Pohantoon".  Certain users refuse to see this, but it is right there in front of them.  --Kitabi420 (talk) 17:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Da Kabul Pohantoon 

message: This article seems to be centered around the communist/socialist legacy that the university developed in the 60s and 70s.  Does anyone have information about other personalities and developments related to this institution that may offset this?  Perhaps from the earlier years?  --EduardoGuerez (talk) 20:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Communist/Socialist slant.. 

message: I have included both, the Persian name of the university as well as the Pashtunized official name of it. As one can see on the university's website, the official name is the Pashtunized Pohantun-e Kabul. Pohantun is the Pashto word for "university" and is used in all official documents. The native Persian name is Daneshgah-e Kabul, and it should also be included, since Persian is the main language of teaching at the KU as well as the dominant language of Kabul City. Please note that the expression "Pohantun-e Kabul" is still Persian, simply using a Pashto word instead of a Persian word. The correct Pashto name of the university is Da Kabul Pohantun.

replies: text: Pohantun-e Kabul ist NOT Pashto, but Pashtunized Persian. The Pashto name is Da Kabul Pohantun. That's also what the official emblem of the Kabul university says:  Therefore, I have reverted your edits. Sorry. Tājik (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, the official website for the university lists both Da Kabul Pohantoon and Pohantoon-e Kabul on the banner graphic.  You are correct though.  The emblem shows the first form only.  --KoonWoz (talk) 19:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Students taking admission test at Kabul University in 2010.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: The paragraph starting out "Kabul University is the oldest and largest..." was removed. It's a word-for-word copy of the information from http://ku.edu.af/en.
This can be resolved by rewriting the paragraph, ensuring that the rewritten text is not a WP:Copyright violation and is not WP:Close paraphrasing.--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:44, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intro paragraph removed - copyright violation 

message: Some of the Kabul University#Rebuilding appears to be a close paraphrase of www.icosgroup.net/static/reports/kabul-university.pdf - particularly the recounting of the statistics. The entire article should probably be reviewed for copyright or close paraphrasing issues.--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:58, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Once again this topic: the word Pohantūn is NOT Persian/Dari, it is a Pashto word. Since 1964, this Pashto word is also being forced into the spoken and literary Persian of Afghaniostan by the mostly Pashtun-dominated governments. By trying to "Pashtunize" the Persian-speaking majority of Afghanistan, the various Pashtun governments hoped to unite the heterogenous population of Afghanistan. In fact, the outcome was exactly the opposite: the aggressive anti-Persian and Pashtun ethno-nationslist politics of the past 50 years have lead to the current conflict in Afghanistan. The words "Dari" and "Pohantūn" are remnants of this policy. All expersts agree that "Dari" and "Persian" are synonyms, just like "German language" and "Austrian language" - minor differences in vocabulary do not change this fact. Epecially not politically motivated neologisms such as Pohantūn, itself an invention of the infamous Pashto Tolana. While the word has its rightful place in the Pashto language, it is still a foreign word in Persian. The correct word for university in Persian - in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and elsewhere - was and is Dānešgāh. The fact that the official emblem of the university uses the Pashto word and not the Persian one is irrelevant. Afghanistan's universities have to act within Afghan law - and Afghan law explicitely promotes Pashto words and forces universities, newspapers, etc. to use Pashto words in Persian speech. Wikipedia is not bound to Afghan law. Wikipedia is an independent encyclopedia which is supposed to reflects basic and assured facts. And it is a basic and assured fact that Pohantūn is NOT a Persian word and that Persian and Dari are two names for the same language. Students and teachers in Kabul know these simple facts, that's why they have many times protested and challenged the current anti-Persian and Pashtun ethno-nationalist Afghan law. They demand the freedom to use the correct Persian word. Take a look at this picture:  --Lysozym (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Pohantun-e Kabul is the offical name of this institution and is used as such throughout their website. Your personal opinion about the word "pohantun" (or any other Pashto word) and about how the university is breaking or adhering to Afghan national law is irrelevant. -Dijan (talk) 19:00, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
