some guidelines on this article[edit]

See Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom for some guidelines. For one, her article, does not have weasel words and POVs like "Her Majesty Queen", etc. I am removing these weasel words and POVs. -- Behnam (talk) 01:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added some need citation tags and will hunt for the original verifiable sources for the biography but it looks to be a needle in a hay stack. Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:22, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the need citation tags and found cites but I am worried about POV and circular citations. Geraldshields11 (talk) 01:53, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The History of Afghanistan^[1] By Meredith L. Runion and A History of Women in Afghanistan: Lessons Learnt for the Future or Yesterdays and Tomorrow: Women in Afghanistan^[2] By Dr. Huma Ahmed-Ghosh seem to be non-circular cites.

Dear Dougweller, Please see the above where I discuss my concerns about the cites and POV. Also, the critic's newspaper article. Thanks. Geraldshields11 (talk) 16:51, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not clear here. Specifically what do you see as pov (ignore other articles please). And what newspaper article? Dougweller (talk) 18:05, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:RSN#Soraya Tarzi for extended discussion and the cite to the newspaper article by the critic. As for POV, one of the cite sources may be related to the Queen but the only source for the pictures. Thanks. Geraldshields11 (talk) 19:10, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for working with me on making a great article with good cites. Geraldshields11 (talk) 19:35, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is Bot placed notification, another user has nominated/tagged the image --CommonsNotificationBot (talk) 14:59, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Too many references[edit]

The article looks a bit of a mess now. There are times when more than one source is needed, but I'm not sure that any of those circumstances apply here, and certainly not for quotations. Dougweller (talk) 08:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dougweller, Please see the above talk page section for Soraya Tarzi where I discuss my concerns about the cites and POV. Also, the critic's newspaper article. Thanks. Geraldshields11 (talk) 16:50, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for working with me on making a great article with good cites. Geraldshields11 (talk) 18:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article Nomnation[edit]

I am thinking about nominating this artice as a good article. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please let us discuss the idea. Geraldshields11 (talk) 20:26, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

POV[edit]

The statement that "The Indian people felt they had lost their dream of freedom and liberation from British imperialism with the fall of King Amanullah Khan's reign" is unreferenced and improbable. I recommend deletion.Royalcourtier (talk) 08:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
