Name?[edit]

Hatnote: This British surname is barrelled, being made up of multiple names. The subject's surname should be written as "Ahmad Khan", not Khan.
{{cn}} for that? The article doesn't follow those instructions; his own CV on the ICC site has, inter alia, "Special Adviser Khan" and "Karim Khan"; The Guardian has "Khan, 50," beating candidates from Ireland, Spain and Italy; and the ICC itself identifies him as Karim A. A. Khan KC. Fwiw, the bit about the article not following its own hatnote instructions also applies to his brother, Imran Ahmad Khan. Moscow Mule (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have WP:BOLDly removed this template. CapitalSasha ~ talk 20:55, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest aniisemite of all time/outrageous[edit]

After the vitriolic abuse, not adding a note to balance the smear by adding the very succinct link to what Kenneth Roth wrote of this kind of language thrown Khan's way would in my view violate NPOV, and the note is warranted for a BLP article.

Several attempts by IPs have been made to erase this balance and just let the innuendo he is an antisemite responsible for outrageous statements (when just doing his job) together with an ill-disguised islamophobic attempt to 'skewer' him as primarily a Muslim, mean he is under attack even here. Note that this latest erasure is by someone just registered with a mere 20 edits. It should be reverted. I see the ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES warning is posted so I will revert it as a violation.Nishidani (talk) 15:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic jurist/Muslim jurist?[edit]

You added RAMSES$44932 Islamic jurist, which redirects to Faqīh, explained there as "an expert in fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence and Islamic Law" and elsewhere as "One who possesses religious knowledge in Islam",^[1] "a Muslim theologian versed in the religious law of Islam"^[2] and "an Islamic religious lawyer".^[3] Is that correct or did you intend Muslim jurist?

Please change a British-born Islamic jurist and lawyer to a British lawyer in the first sentence. It appears that this change was the result of vandalism. Aaacme (talk) 00:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems the page got protected after someone vandalized the page by calling him a "Hamas supporter". I personally don't object with this change. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done regardless of whether it was vandalism or in good faith, it is an unreferenced and evidently controversial addition so has been reverted. Irltoad (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
