[edit] Hello
Hello Zak, this is Afghan Historian (real name Khalid Afridi) from the Pashtun talk page. Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Pakistani Pashtun on here. You sound like an interesting person from your profile. I too love The Lord of the Rings, and was pretty fond of hiking during my days in the Scout movement. Say, I wanted to ask you something, I've been often curious about the Khattak dance of the Pasthuns, which is supposed to be of Greek origin but many are not sure. Do you think it is? What's it usually done for? I would love your help. Thanks! Afghan Historian 07:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Heh heh, I love Yoda, not jar jar binks. But no matter, I find the Ewoks extremely annoying, although perhaps, now that I think about it, Jar Jar is worse. Nevertheless I'm not into cute cuddly things. I'm also not into the new Star Wars trilogy that much. It was badly written and could have been much much better as one whole movie minus the excessive excrement. Anyway, got class, so tally ho mate! Tamam Shud Afghan Historian 13:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I did like Revenge of the Sith a lot more than either Phantom or Attack of the Clones. But yeah, those kids who saw the new ones, might like them. I was a kid too when they came out in the late 90's. But, I was raised to be old-fashioned and more like the baby boom generation in terms of movies and music than my peers. I'm also ridiculed (gently :) ) by many fellow pakistani and indian pals for not liking bollywood. I dont think too much of modern Bollywood films, they're tacky and copy the west too much. Aishwarya Rai isnt that hot and I bet my annoying little sister could attract more guys than her! The old ones are kind of cool though, especially those with Raj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar (both from Peshawar! Not that that's the reason why I like them). I did see Serenity last year and I liked it a lot, to tell you the truth. Its like a Space western, if you want a specific genre. If one wants a good understanding of it, I always reccommend that they see the Firefly tv show on which it was based. I presume you've seen it? Afghan Historian 20:49, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
That's good. I also like some sci fi. It depends. Derivative sci fi is not my cup of tea. Say, sorry for asking you so many questions. I just wanted to get to you know you, as you sound like a very well-read person when it comes to Afghans. But just one more, and I'll leave you alone. Me and an Indian friend of mine were debating over the Partition of India and I was of the opinion that it was carried out badly but theoretically justified, while he thought it was all out wrong. What's your view on this controversial subject? I think that while both countries are historically the same, the inevitable growth of the Muslim population would have started to outnumber the Hindus by this time, had partition not happened, leading to fears among conservative Hindus, massive conflict and possibly, political fragmentation into several separate states. In all, I thought it was a necessary evil to avoid the greater anarchic evil. Afghan Historian 18:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Aitzaz Ahsan, by UnitedStatesian, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Muhammadalipasha.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Muhammadalipasha.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 12:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:March1.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:March1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:31, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of Panipat (1761)
With regards to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Battle of Panipat (1761) of Battle of Panipat, i think you may want to submit it to Military History peer review first. This helps fix any problems in the article before it gets put through the A-Class procedure. Any questions can be left on my talk page. Thanks Woodym555 20:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- The A-class review has come up with many suggestions to help you improve the article. Now that it has started i would try and act on the reviewers suggestions. I checked the edit history and yes, the improvement is quite remarkable! Well done. I would look at the reviewers suggestions and if you still want to have a peer review first then leave a note on my talk page or on the assessment page. I will then help to get it changed to a peer review. Woodym555 23:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have just added an oppose to the review. This means i don't yet think it is up to the A-Class assessment criteria. I have left suggestions on how to improve it. I have also created a Lead for you. I don't think there is a template, see other battle featured articles for a basic hint.e.g Lochry's Defeat, Invasion of Tulagi (May 1942) others listed at Wikipedia:Featured articles#Warfare. Hope my suggestions help. Woodym555 14:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
I have edited the article today to create some subheaders and to follow the milhist guidelines. Check for any errors and feel free to correct them
I also started adding some citation templates and found some problems with the text and its referencing. I have left a detailed summary on the talk page. A quick summary is that much of it the text is copied from a webpage and many of the references are third hand and they need to be properly cited and verified. Thanks Woodym555 15:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism of Pashtun Articles
We need to work on getting users like Behnam and Anoshirawan banned or blocked because they are severely vandalising Pashtun culture and Pashtun people related articles. An example is that of Mirwais Khan Hotak and the Hotaki dynasty, where they are trying to show that the Hotaks were not Ghilzai Pashtuns, but were Tatars or Uzbeks.zakka 13:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks man, the only problem is that I don't know how to make a formal complaint. I've spent a while searching for it but haven't found anything. Do you know how I can make a formal complaint? zakka 18:31, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Panipat 1761
Glad to know your efforts. Really appreciate them.
Trust you have read T S Shejwalkar's "Panipat 1761",available in both English and Marathi, probably one of the best books on Indian history ever written.
People like Shejwalkar wrote largely in Marathi and hence are not accessible outside.
best, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anikulkarni (talk • contribs) 07:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello, The map you have put up on the 1761 Panipat war has German legend. Is it possible to get an English one? Secondly, the image of Nanasaheb Peshwa which you have, is I think of Peshwa Nanasaheb II (Nana Sahib) of the 1857 uprising. Could you please confirm this? Salilb (talk) 04:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes, the Peshwa pic will have to be removed. As for the map, I think we could let it stay till anyone raises serious objections or manages to change it to English. I dont mind doing the German-English conversion some time, time permitting. BTW, why was the picture of the battle removed? Salilb (talk) 21:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Aredshirt.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Aredshirt.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright problems with Image:Redflag-1.gif
[edit] Sorry, that's not a poster
