Please refer to the following, regarding Harikishan Kaul’s opinion, vis-à-vis the origin of the name of the Awan tribe; no mention is made of the term “cultivator,” and moreover, though the terms “defender” and “protector” are clearly cited, you needlessly removed these valid additions from the article relating to the Awans. And not only is it wrong to alter quotes directly attributable to a particular author (in this case, Kaul), reference to the term “Awan” possibly meaning “helper” had already been made, when discussing H.A. Rose’s assertions, and the definition of “Awan” contained within the Ferozsons Urdu-English Dictionary:

Hindkowan

edit

Salaam Ziva, I appreciate your efforts to improve the Hindkowan article and applaud many of your constructive edits there. However, your edits to the "Religion" section include removing the few references that are available on the topic and that is why I have reverted them. The information in that section is supported by the references you removed. You are welcome to add to that section but kindly do not remove the existing references and information that is there. I hope this helps. Thanks! Khuda hafiz, AnupamTalk 20:02, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
