Talk:M. A. Muqtedar Khan

Untitled
I added category:Indian academics. He was born in India... I am not sure of his current citizenship. Is this correct? gren グレン ? 11:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I removed a bunch of the quotes and the advertisement tag. It may not be fully neutral now but it's not an ad. I am not sure how to rewrite this because there are not a lot of critical sources about Khan. I could add something about his departure from PMU or somesuch but I'm not sure what is relevant and what makes this a better article. It's hard to assess his constructivist research since it isn't widely reviewed and he's more known for his columns. gren グレン 09:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * There was a link, but some one, maybe Khan himself, has removed it: CuriousOliver 14:29, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

So it seems that someone using a Delaware Comcast connection has edited the Controversy section like... 5 times today. I have to assume that it is Khan making the edits. I feel that this goes against the spirit of Wikipedia. What does one do in such a case? I think his first edit was fair but now it's getting out of hand and the current version only offers one side of the story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.9.185.232 (talk) 20:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

In response to the post above, I was the one who had made the editing. While choosing to remain anonymous, I will say that I am not Muqtedar Khan but someone who, while not personally involved with the panel or its organizing, knows many of the people involved with it, both students and faculty. Safe to say, my corrections were made to reflect the knowledge I had of what occurred, knowledge which came directly from a number of the participants and not from any blogs reposting Campus Watch's post. 71.225.180.104 (talk) 05:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I just came across this wiki entry and I have some info to add, but I'm not sure if it is acceptable to put it on the main page so I'll just discuss it here. I was in a class being taught by Dr. Khan at the time of the controversy over him not wanting to participate in a panel discussion with the former IDF member. He made it clear to everyone in the class that he was dead serious about feeling uncomfortable sitting on a panel with someone who used to be in the IDF. After the issue arose when a member of the college republicans forwarded Dr. Khan's email, Dr. Khan became preoccupied with the issue and feared for his job at the university, comparing himself to Ward Churchill. I went to his office to discuss something unrelated and he seemed almost paranoid about the issue. Of course nothing came of it. One more thing to add is that through my job I talk to a lot of different people in the area and early this year I spoke with someone who knew Dr. Khan from his mosque. He told me that Dr. Khan was banned from his mosque, though I can't recall what he told me the reason was.

Ok... but without a source none of that info can be added, because otherwise other people would make things up and pretend they were real, so we have to have due process which people can't cheat i.e. provide a citable and acceptable source (so not my mom told me etc.) ALSO: Why would you assume that Dr. Khan was editing the page based on the fact (supposedly) that the edits where coming from Delaware? that only narrows it down to a few hundred thousand... You are coming to a conclusion with no evidence to support your claim, that can be a problem, besides good faith and read this if you have further questions --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_the_assumption_of_good_faith  After all for all you know it could be someone trying to ruin his reputation by editing stuff - my evidence well I don't have any of the identity and besides that it came from one state neither does this discussion. The strong argument comes from me because this is on the level of defaming someone by suggesting they would have the Gaul of editing their own page to make them sound better without any iota of evidence of all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.69.176.102 (talk) 09:25, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
