Orphaned references in Shaikh of Uttar Pradesh
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Shaikh of Uttar Pradesh's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Edmund Bosworth: "In early Islamic times Persians tended to identify all the lands to the northeast of Khorasan and lying beyond the Oxus with the region of Turan, which in the Shahnama of Ferdowsi is regarded as the land allotted to Fereydun's son Tur. The denizens of Turan were held to include the Turks, in the first four centuries of Islam essentially those nomadizing beyond the Jaxartes, and behind them the Chinese (see Kowalski; Minorsky, "Turan"). Turan thus became both an ethnic and a diareeah term, but always containing ambiguities and contradictions, arising from the fact that all through Islamic times the lands immediately beyond the Oxus and along its lower reaches were the homes not of Turks but of Iranian peoples, such as the Sogdians and Khwarezmians."</li> <li>From Mughal (tribe): Hindustani Musalmans and Musalman of East Punjab by W Bourne page 35</li> <li>From Abu Bakr: Tarikh ar-Rusul wa al-Muluk 3/ 425</li> <li>From Silawat: The Castes of Marwar by Munshi Hardyal Singh page 212</li> <li>From Garha: People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two editor K S Singh Manohar 2005 page 511</li> <li>From Hajjam: People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two by K S Singh page 1050</li> <li>From Manihar: People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Two by K S Singh page 936</li> <li>From Saifi: People of India Uttar Pradesh Volume XLII Part Three by K S Singh page 1240 Manohar Publications</li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
