Talk:Dost Mohammad Khan

Untitled
Removed "(Believed by some that the man was murdered by the man who eventually became the Phantom of the Opera)" as it 1. doesn't make sense, and 2. requires further explanation or evidence. 156.34.32.232 13:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

False Quotation
The quotation "We have men and we have gold and treasure and sacred land in plenty, we have everything" is false. It does not appear, as claimed, in Karl Meyer, Shareen Brysac "Tournament of Shadows, The Great Game and the Race for Empire in Asia" Abacus, 2001. The quotation reported in Meyer-Brysac, as well as in other books, comes from a a 1867 report by John Lawrence, commonly known as "The Lawrence Minute", and is the following: "We have men and we have rocks in plenty, but we have nothing else" (link to the exact sentence in Gerald Morgan's "Anglo-Russian Rivalry in Central Asia 1810-1895"). Looking at the page history, one sees that first the correct quotation was added, then several editors radically modified it, leaving the reference to Meyer-Brysac. So much for reliable sources. 84.73.134.206 (talk) 15:45, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Lack of References
There seem to be no references whatsoever for the rather obviously partisan section entitled "captivity." 31/01/18 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.76.8.92 (talk) 18:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

The picture of Dost Mohammad Khan was in Second Reign was not Dost Mohammad Khan but his brother Wali I know because I sat down and saw the same photo but with names at the bottom of the page it said Wali Mohammad Khan who was Dost Mohammad Khan's brother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.116.232.44 (talk) 16:36, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

Primary vs secondary sources
I have removed the headings "Primary sources" and "Secondary sources", because all of those listed appear to be secondary sources, which is generally what is needed. (See WP:USINGPRIMARY & WP:PSTS.) However, can someone ascertain whether all of these works were actually used in the creation of the article? At least a couple of them seem to have been used in in-line citations, but I'm not sure about the rest. Perhaps they belong in a Further Reading section?
