[edit] Hotaki

On 26 October 2007, you deleted referenced content from the articles on the Hotaki dynasty and Mir Wais Hotak. Please don't remove content without reading the talk page for the article. Please comply with Wikipedia policies, including providing an edit summary for your edits. Please read the material that you cite before citing it. Wikipedia:Citing sources says "It is improper to copy a citation from an intermediate source without making it clear that you saw only that intermediate source. For example, you might find information on a web page which says it comes from a certain book. Unless you look at the book yourself to check that the information is there, your reference is really the web page, which is what you must cite. The credibility of the article rests on the credibility of the web page, as well as the book, and the article itself must make that clear." The incorrectness of the citation to Elphinstone for the ethnicity of Mirwais is fully covered on the talk pages. --Bejnar 15:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
