Talk:Nano Begal

Simplification

@Cyber.Eyes.2005: I am trying to simplify this article. When the Mehtar threatens to punish the members of his court, what kind of court does he mean? Royal court? Polo court? Something else?

"When the Mehtar and his team saw Jalal Begal, they were shocked." Wait, so the Mehtar knew people had killed Jalal Begal? I thought the people in the court killed him without the ruler's knowledge. Did he know or didn't he? Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

That being said, I do love it when Simple gets a good article before en.wiki does. You should take your initial, complex version, and create the article Nano Begal over there. Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The Mehtar announced this in his royal court. I'm going to quote the text:

The Mehtar collected his players the night before the match and said that losing the match to Begal this time would be tantamount to losing his royal glory. “We have to win this match at any cost,” enunciated the Mehtar. Someone among them said that with Begal living and playing against them, they couldn’t even think of winning against his team. And, thus, the plot to murder Begal in the dead of night was hatched and executed.

So the Mehtar actually knew it, and it was part of his idea to kill him. Yes, I also plan to create this article on English Wikipedia as well. I have an audio recording for this folk song as well, which I plan to upload on Commons, but somehow Commons isn't working for me? – Cyber.Eyes2005^Talk 19:48, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

And he didn't disapprove of their plans or anything. Whatta guy. I think I got the English down to about seventh grade. Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

The English seems a lot simpler now. Thanks :) – Cyber.Eyes2005^Talk 19:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Sources

@Cyber.Eyes.2005: Am I correct in thinking that the source "Tales of a lost kingdom : a journey into Northwest Pakistan" is meant to be the book itself and not the library webpage about the book? You read the book and that's where the information is supported, right? Darkfrog24 (talk) 19:41, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, "Tales of a lost Kingdom: a journey into Northwest Pakistan" is a book. It is about three folk tales from Chitral. I've read it, and yes, the information is in the cited sources and can be verified online as well. – Cyber.Eyes2005^Talk 19:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Excellent. I cleaned up the reference but please take a look. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
