GA Sweeps invitation
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.

We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.

If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Request for assistance
Hey guys, I work over at the Motto of the Day project, and I was wondering if someone here would be willing to help us out with something. A quote was submitted to become one of our daily mottos; it was taken from Wikiquote where it is said to be an Afghani proverb. However, we're not 100% confident on the English translation. If any of you guys are native speakers, would you mind popping over and taking a look at it for us? We'd really appreciate the assistance. The discussion is here. Thanks again for the help and for your time. Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:17, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi guys.

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons
The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at WikiProject Afghanistan/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you have approximately 33 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:00, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Afghanistan articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Afghanistan articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I have tried, and failed, to find any reliable sources (or, in fact, any sources at all) for this individual (as opposed to the grouping of the same name). I'm posting here in the hope that someone with better knowledge of the area and the history might like to take an interest and provide at least one reliable source.

Propose articles on suicide and mental health
I'm doing a little work on Category:Health in Afghanistan, and would like to propose forming Suicide in Afghanistan and Mental health in Afghanistan. On the first issue, there was a flood of coverage in mid-2010 of female self-immolation, but I'm not seeing much coverage other than that exact topic. Plus it's hard to screen out everything related to suicide bombing/attacks (outside the scope of my intended article). Further, there have been some studies by various governments on Afghan mental health after 30yrs of war, and I think it could be an extremely fertile topic, and arguably something that a few editors could push up to GA status relatively quickly.

Where is Afghanistan after all?
Hi, there have been a recent series of edits and edit requests, by IP and by Special:Contributions/AA193 concerning the sub-regional location of Afghanistan; claims are made that Afghanistan is in fact in the middle east, or in West Asia. I have started a discussion here Talk:Afghanistan. I'd be interested in having User:AA193 and other editors contribute their thoughts, ideally backed up by references, as clearly there are conflicting views on whether Afghanistan is in central asia, south asia, west asia, the middle east, or all of the above. I hope a consensus can be formed, which would then be allowed to percolate through other articles. My own recommendation, which would hold for all disputes of this type (and not just Afghanistan), would be to use the UN geographic classifications; these have the advantage of having been agreed by the UN in general, which was not an easy process, and standardizing on these classifications may help avoid the sort of disputes that this question in particular brings up.--KarlB (talk) 16:06, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Afghanistan a state carved out of India
Large parts of the region what is today called as Afghanistan was earlier Indian region of Gandhara. This is mentioned in prominently mentioned in Indian epic Mahabharata and other Indian texts. The capital of this kingdom was Takshashila which was an important center of learning for Hinduism and Buddhism among many other art forms. It is also written as Taxila after its Islamic conquest. Since the Vedic times, India's Gandhāri people among other Indian tribes inhabited this region. Gandhāri is also the name of the princess of who married the eldest blind Pandava prince as mentioned in Mahabharatha. The city was first laid to ruins in 5th century by the invading Huns and Turkic tribes and later by Islamic armies leading to annihilation and enslavement of Indian peoples. The mountain range Pāriyātra Parvata was nick named as Hindu Kush meaning 'Hindu killer' owing to deaths of large numbers of Indians while being transported to Muslim kingdoms of Central Asia after being taken as slaves.

The name Afghan appears first in the book Hudud al-'alam and appears prominently in Mughal texts of 16th century. The first Afghan kingdom was established in 1709 AD. The population that makes up Afghanistan today consists of Turkic tribes of central Asia - Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kazakhs and Pashtuns. Mongols moved eastwards in search of new conquests in India after sacking of Baghdad. The descendants of enslaved Indians and Mongol invaders still identify themselves as Pashtun and proudly carry the Mongol name "Khan" in their last name. They further went on to successfully conquer large parts of India and in recent times, have risen to prominent positions in Indian film industry.

Similarly nearly two and half centuries later, Pakistan was created by Partition of India in 1947 as homeland of Muslims living in India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolving_my_soul (talk • contribs)

Comment
Except for the fact that Tajiks and Pashtuns aren't Turkic people. Tajiks are basically Persians and Pashtuns are another sub-group of Iranian peoples. The only reason the word "Khan" is used is because of the fact that Mongolians, Timurids and Mughals influenced the culture of the region for centuries. Pashtuns are a whole different group of people. It is the Hazara's of Afghanistan who are the real descendants of Mongolians.

Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at ~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man ) 04:49, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Improper uses of "afghani"
A reader sent an email to the OTRS system pointing out that the term "Afghani" does not mean the people of Afghanistan. The term for people should be "Afghan" or "Afghans". Afghani is a real word, but it refers to the currency.

Our article Afghan supports this, noting:


 * The term "Afghani" refers to the unit of Afghan currency. It is often improperly used for a person or thing related to Afghanistan.

I am not a member of this Wikiproject, and do not know how tasks are identified, prioritized or managed, but it would make sense to ensure that instances of incorrect usage are corrected.

I did a search for the term, and perused the first 500 entries. I haven't counted the complete number of instances, but this brief perusal convinced me that it is not a trivial task to address. That said, I encountered fewer errors than I might have guessed.

Some of the uses:
 * 1) Part of a name, e.g. file:S. J. al-Afghani.jpg This seems like a proper use of the expression
 * 2) Part of a file name e.g. File:Afghani dinner.jpg This appears to be an improper usage, but it strikes me as less serious than usage in text.
 * 3) In reference to currency e.g. Afghan afghani No correction needed
 * 4) Part of a redirect e.g. Afghani War One of the purposes of a redirect is to include plausible errors that may be used as search terms, so this should not be corrected
 * 5) part of a scientific name e.g. Opostega afghani Unless this is a flat error, it appears the original naming may have been a less than ideal name, but we should not be correcting it.
 * 6) part of text, used as a modifier. e.g. Ganjina states ...is the Afghani version... This is clearly not a reference to the currency, but it isn't strictly a reference to the people. I would want some clarification from experts whether this is improper or not.
 * 7) part of text, used as a modifier. e.g. Visa policy of Afghanistan states ... travellers born in Afghanistan or born to Afghani parents... This seems wrong. I haven't yet corrected, so I could leave an example needing correction.

Do any of the project members have some thoughts on how this issue should be addressed? Given the large number of proper uses of the expression, it seems that an automated approach won't work.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  23:06, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Auto-assessment of article classes
Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.

If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess.

2016 Community Wishlist Survey Proposal to Revive Popular Pages
Greetings Members!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:


 * Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report

If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.

Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Best regards, — Delivered: 17:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

map error?
Maimay District and Nusay District appear to be the same place according to the maps in them. Is this a dupe or a map error?  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  16:51, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this up! Looks like our maps are pretty out of date.  In 2005, Darwaz district was divided up into Maimay District, Nusay District, and Shekay District. The map on all of the articles shows the old Darwaz district.  I found a UN map here that shows the new district borders, but the names are different than ours.  This article explains the difference (section 3.2): Maimay is also called Darwaz-e Bala, and Nusay is also called Darwaz.  I'm not sure which names are correct, since the relevant Afghan government sites are down, but for what it's worth the Taliban uses our names ;).  Tomorrow I'll see if I can make any progress towards a new map, this might help. --Cerebellum (talk) 03:31, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
