Please bear these points in mind while editing Misplaced Pages:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Misplaced Pages policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Misplaced Pages Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Misplaced Pages. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date.

Khorasan and Afghanistan

Regarding your comments about Khorasan on the Afghanistan discussion board. If this is true, then you need to change the Misplaced Pages articles on Greater Khorasan, if all of Afghanistan was once part of Khorasan. If you don't have time to change it right away to reflect that all of Afghanistan was once part of Khorasan, please post some type of alert to let readers know the article is incorrect and will be changed.

Your introductory paragraphs in the article on Greater Khorasan conflict are still in conflict as is what you posted on my talk page.

In the article you say:

"Greater Khorasan included territories that presently are part of Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan."

" of ... Afghanistan" does not, in English, mean the same thing as "Afghanistan's current regions were entirely part of Khorasan."

And when you detail the territory you mention only "northern regions of Afghanistan, and ... central regions of Afghanistan," leaving the reader to conclude that, as you stated early only "part" of Afghanistan was Greater Khorasan, the southern portion of Afghanistan that was not part of Greater Khorasan.

So, please change the text to conform in its entirety with what is accurate. Either all of Afghanistan was part of Greater Khorasan and you need to indicate what province the southern portion of Afghanistan was part of, or not all of Afghanistan was part of Greater Khorasan and you need to remove that information.

Whether an inaccuate phrase (part of) is used, whether you have misunderstood. I will try to find a better expression for it. In fact, Khorasan was not only limited to Afghanistan. Afghanistan was only a part of Khorasan. So by saying Khorasan included territories that presently are part of Iran, Afghanistan, etc. I think it conveys the exact meaning: The territories of Greater Khorasan are now part of Iran, Afghanistan, etc. So Afghanistan's entire region is part of Khorasan.

I edited that sentence in the article. If you still think it does not express that point, so I would appreciate if you edit that sentence in the article. Ariana310 17:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Racist comments by User:NisarKand

Because of his racist comments, I have reported User:NisarKand to admins. Please take some time to have a look at this:

Your opinion and comments may help to solve the problem.

Thx.

Thank you for informing me, but I think it was abit late. I think just after your message, Nisarkand was banned. But if you had informed me earlier, I would have certainly written my point of view there.

Thanks though.Ariana310 16:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Khorasan

What are you talking about?! I do not know you and you do not know me. Claiming that "Afghanistan was called Khorasan" is wrong. "Khorasan" was a loosely defined region in eastern Persia, dominated by a sedentary, Persian-speaking and Islamic culture. Modern Afghanistan is only one part of Khorasan and not its continuation or inheritor.

Fair use rationale for Image:Map of Timurids Empire and region of Khorasan.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Map of Timurids Empire and region of Khorasan.JPG. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Civility

Template:Civil1 Your comment, "It clearly indicates your inability for response," fails to "focus on the subject rather than on the personalities of the editors," as you have introduced a personal comment (about the other editor's "inability"), namely your assessment of the capabilities of the other editor. This will not help to resolve the issue, but, rather, has introduced an extraneous issue, your assessment of the other editor's personality. KP Botany 00:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
