What happened to subtribe "mandanr" main article

Another wikipedia article on the Mandanr clan has been removed to just redirect here, yet there's absolutely no information about it apart from mention. Is there any possible restoration? All that happened was an article has gone missing. Unfortunate. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 04:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still wanting to know, What happened!??! RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 09:38, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-war between RevolutionaryPatriot and someone who is using revolving IP addresses (e.g. 39.33.50.155 , 39.33.2.14, 39.60.2.178) and the matter of Abdul Qadeer Khan being Orakzai, Yusafzai or mere a Pashtun

As per the "Yusafzai" Revision History, there is an ongoing edit-war between RevolutionaryPatriot and someone who is using revolving IP addresses (e.g. 39.33.50.155 , 39.33.2.14, 39.60.2.178).

Both of them are set in their ways and only want their sentiments to be presented on the Yusafzai page. A case in point is Abdul Qadeer Khan, who has claimed to be Orakzai Pashtun as per this YouTube video, and on another occasion, a Yusafzai Pashtun, as per this Facebook Video. Furthermore, as per Abdul Qadeer Khan's Wikipedia page quoting a Tribune International article, "His maternal ancestors hailed from the Tirah Valley (now in the Khyber District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) while from his paternal side he descended from an Uzbek soldier who came to India with Muhammad of Ghor, the 12th century conqueror, the reason why years later he’d name his ballistic missiles as Ghauri."^[1] However, it has been insisted and edit-warred that Abdul Qadeer Khan should ONLY be considered as a Yusafzai Pashtun and hence be listed here under Notable Yusafzai Pashtuns rather than mere a Pashtun (That is even an assumption as his father was an Uzbek.) given his last name is Khan. McKhan ^(talk) 21:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another concern is the further Random names being added, what if Umra Khan is added back? Or some random politician from Swat Murad Saeed (Swat is definitely not a homogenous place). It is extremely diverse. I've also fixed the article on Hindustani ruler Amir Khan which a random IP called Yusufzai. And forget Qadeer Khan, he shouldn't be in any Pashtun tribe article if there are 2 instances of him saying something. Qadeer Khan is listed in the list of Muhajirs article, done.

Non of these additions are Yusufzai Pashtuns. Thats it. Not much can be done about it since he has used 10s of IPs throughout for his personal aspirations, but I do care enough about it to come back and change it all, over and over again. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What can be done though is raising protection levels. Which i've felt is quiet needed on Pashtun topic articles, especially this one. IP will attempt to do what he wants until then. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 04:42, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamaguchi先生:, With reference to your previous rescue, please look into this again. Thank you.

Under the Society section, the following passage should be updated to provide clarification as per the source already cited by the original article.

Old version: Hamsāya The hamsāya or "shade sharers" were the clients or dependents from other (non-Yusufzai) Pashtun tribes who became attached to the Yusufzai tribe over the years.

Proposed updated version: Hamsāya The hamsāya or "shade sharers" were other Afghan and non-Afghan groups and individuals who accompanied the Yusufzais in their successive migrations. Some hamsāya tribes received territories of their own that could act as buffers against outside encroachments.

Yousafzai Sub-Tribes

You people mention alot of Sub-Tribes. But there are only 6 Sub-Tribes of Yousafzai. 1: Akuzai, 2: Musazai (ilyaszai), 3: Essazai, 4: Malizai, 5: Darya-Khel, 6: Mandanr/Mandan. Those Sub-Tribes which you mentioned are sub-branches of these 6 Sub-Tribes. You all need to read some history about Yousafzai Tribe and Yousafzai Shajara Nasab. First gain some knowledge about Yusufzai Tribe then manage wikipedia. 39.33.95.106 (talk) 11:50, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
