User talk:Banigul

Hi

I saw your revert on Badakhshan [1].

Some of the info you changed seemed ok. Can you add a note on the Talk:Badakhshan page explaining your change?

Yours

I didn't mind your changes on Pashtun, but some of it deleted cited information, and most of it changed information that was correctly stated according to its citation. On Wikipedia for FA-class articles like Pashtun, we can't just change anything, we need to get new sources when we do. Also, I have an invitation for you!

WikiProject Pashtun We invite you to join WikiProject Pashtun. There you can also find and coordinate with users who are trying to improve Pashtun-related articles. If you would like to get involved, just visit the members page or inquire at the project's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or other members.

Hope to see you soon! Unfortunately there is lots of Pakistani bias on Wikipedia towards Pashtun, we have to add the Afghani view. --♥pashtun ismailiyya 21:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I am glad to see your constructive edits. Just a couple of pointers. Normally before removing cited material from an article, as you did with Khushal Khan Khattak, it is considered important, as well as polite, to explain why you feel that the cited material is incorrect or is inappropriate for the article. I have temporarily restored the /* Criticism of Pashtuns */ section, although I never did like it much, so that you can explain on the talk page why you feel that the change is important. If it is noncontroversial, then you can go ahead and make the change. But, let others know why it is important. Also, and this may seem picky, but it is considered polite, some wikipedians say essential, to include edit summaries when editing Wikipedia articles. This is true whether adding content, correcting a typo, or suggesting a merger. As the Help page says: "An edit summary should strive to answer the question, "Why did you make this edit?". Providing an edit summary, even if the edit is minor, makes Wikipedia work better by quickly explaining to other users what your change was about." See Help:Edit summary. --Bejnar (talk) 22:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
