Population
Removed the following text:

''Even the fact that the town locates on one of the biggest trade routes between the Uzbekistan and Turkmanistan with poor raode conditions does not help Andhoy economecaly. The town recently got accese to the out side world through the mobile phone thanks to ROSHAN GSM company. Which means a great deal for the poeple of Andkhoy. About 60% of hande made afghan carpet is produced in here,which means a great deal of trade for these hard working poeple.They also produce minks and do agriculture. There are about 1000 teachers and 40000 students in this small town(info priv/observ 2004)

1000 teachers and 40 000 students? Population is about 13 000. Andres 08:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

On 1 January 2007 Drjmarkov added the population data: year:2004 pop:37,100. On 24 May 2008 Dr. Blofeld corrected it to: year:2006 pop:26,700. On 17 January 2015 an IP editor changed the population data back. No source has been cited for either dataset. I have removed the data pending provision of a source. --Bejnar (talk) 20:20, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Andkuy entry in Encyclopaedia Iranica

Was added by a Columbia University IP along with many other links to the site. I have moved it hear in keeping with our external links guidelines so unconnected editors can evaluate its appropriateness. Many of the websites entries are short and may not contain much more than the articles they have been added to. However, this might be a good source even if editors do not consider it an appropriate external link. -- SiobhanHansa 23:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Encyclopedia Iranica is produced by Columbia University and like Encyclopedia Britannica is a scholarly source. It should not be removed from the articles as they are pertinent sources of reference.--Zereshk 13:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
