References

The references given for the material in the article are from 1908. They are not suitable for making the claims that they make. Please provide better references otherwise the material should be removed.-Civilizededucation^talk 17:56, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

The references are suitable as they clearly relate to *past* events, i.e. the fact that it was formerly part of Bannu Distict, the fact that it became part of Mianwali District in 1901, the stuff about Uranium ore (and everything below) is clearly not referenced and this is the info you should either find sources for or look at removing.Pahari Sahib 19:06, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the response. I agree that the references are suitable for the material which you have pointed out. But I have a doubt about using them for this material.

The town was founded about 1830 by Ahmad Khan, ancestor of the present Khans of Isa Khel, who are the acknowledged heads of the trans-Indus Niazai; and it takes its name from Shah Isa Khel, a religious teacher, whose descendants still live in the town. The municipality was created in 1875.

Of course proper references are needed for the rest of the article too.-Civilizededucation^talk 00:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I had missed that, I tend to update stuff like this when I add it in, the info about the naming of the town and the creation of the municipality are fine though. Pahari Sahib 21:16, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The difficulty is mostly solved now. Actually I had wanted to remove it because I think that the issue of leadership is somewhat irrelevant to the scope of the article. Secondly, if they are actually still in the same position of leadership, it might be somewhat of an inconsistency to say that they were the acknowledged leaders. But we don't seem to have a way of gauging the current situation. This leads to a catch 22 situation where we can neither say are, nor can we properly say were. What do you think?-Civilizededucation^talk 15:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I've removed all the other unreferenced stuff, especially it related to the tehsil and not the town, now coming back to this leadership, having thought about - it may well be that the British gave them this position, the Gazetteer is a colonial publication - so it is certainly true that the British authorities considered them to leaders. This may be an important point to note as it seems to imply that they were allied to the authorities or perhaps facilitated governance for them in someway. Now we can't obviously say this without more sources (because this conjecture) - but the fact that an imperial document in such terms might warrant mention. Pahari Sahib 18:00, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for offloading the unreferenced stuff. I think it's OK now.-Civilizededucation^talk 00:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppeteering and fradulent claims

Recently there has been a flood unsourced,self glorifying edits that do not follow wiki guidelines at all on this page,The edits are about how the khan's of isakhel were Nawab's while in reality that never was or is the case'Nor was this title ever bestowed or used by the khans,Second are the exorbiant claims of land that they owned'Which are false in their historical sense as sargodha was the home of the tiwanas of kallra state who under Malik Fateh Khan Tiwana held sway from lakki marwat to sargodha'Same is the claim of the khan's having land in Rahimyar khan'Which was historically the part of Bhawalpur state and when it was merged with Pakistan,The three main districts formed were Bhawalpur,Bhawalnagar and (Rahimyar Khan) and so many other lies,obviously the person is a relative of the khans,And is laying false claims on this page so please the adminstrators take note,And if more such unsourced&Biased posts are made please block them as this is against wikipedia policy.thankyouu.amvgajupjntqaktrjadmqj Yoohooyoo (talk) 15:25, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Then there are the personal attcks on the Nawab of Kalabagh,While all the historical sources corraborate the fact that,There was only one (Nawab) of Kalabagh and he had Two Khan's second in rank to him in the Mianwali district i.e The Khan of Isakhel and The Khan of Piplan,Even the chunk of Land,That the khan of isakhel had was not totally his,But rather shared Tribal lands according to the Imperial Gazeteer of India,But apparently the person/s making the false claims has not consulted the given sources,So that should also be taken into account,And please use this talk page before making any further edits.thankyou.
