Parent information is incorrect[edit]

Dost Mohammad Khan was a Pathan/Pakhtun speaker and Ahmed Shah Massoud was a TAJIK/Persian speaker, they are not related in any way. Please correct this mistake as it leads to disinformation for students/readers wanting to learn about history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaryab Ayyub Khan (talk • contribs) 21:36, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to add a reliable citation for the page.[edit]

The line "A street in New Delhi, India, is named after Ahmad Shah Massoud. It is the first time that such an honour has been extended to a leader from that country as part of close ties between Afghanistan and India.[citation needed]" is missing the citation as of now. Would like to add a source for this from MEA, India(Link) Rupz0 (talk) 10:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A council led the foundation and a jury, consisting of impartial university lecturers, and decided on the works of artists. Alexander M Baker (talk) 06:45, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The grammar is correct. Leaving out the parenthetical phrase "consisting of impartial university lecturers", the sentence simply reads "A council led the foundation and a jury decided on the works of artists". Liu1126 (talk) 18:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
