Talk:Afghan Civil War (1992–1996)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kabulin1996.png

Image:Kabulin1996.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Update November 2009

In order to provide a better background of the conflict to many people, and more importantly to highlight the abuses of specific commanders, I've begun updating the article. As the article becomes large I am likely to move it to the "Seige of Kabul" article, as so far that is what most of the details have been based on. Admittingly much of the article is based on only 3 sources, the Afghanistan Justice Project, Human Rights watch's "Blood-stained hands" and Rashid's Descent into chaos. Those with access to other sources are highly encouraged to update accordingly.

Secondly I apologize for the large amount of dead wikilinks, but I intend to update those articles as well in the future, once again with the goal of highlighting particular abuses by particular commanders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grant bud (talk • contribs) 11:32, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Update on update

I'm now reading "Taliban" and this has lots of background information on stuff other than Kabul, therefore I think I can probably start moving some of the stuff about the battle of Kabul out of this article and into the "Seiges of Kabul" which I'll probably change to "Battle of Kabul (1992-1996)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grant bud (talk • contribs) 10:15, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Timeperiod wasn't anarchic

The use of the word 'Anarchy' to describe this time-period is clearly a misuse, since although they may have been no central government during this time, it is neither to be assumed that there were no forms of hierarchy and rule nor is it indicated in the content of the page. Refer to Anarchy for clarification. 141.48.176.84 (talk) 12:06, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

POV

I've recently tried correcting some of the related content about this war in other articles, mainly Taliban... this article is heavily POV and needs to be rewritten completely. This is a tedious task, I've tagged the article for the issue... but too much to fix at this time. To be specific, it is stating Pakistan's support for Taliban at multiple occasions as a fact which is clearly not a neutral POV. --lTopGunl (talk) 18:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

The RFC for the Pakistani mainspace article hijacked by WP:Pakistan and dubious single purpose editors has no validity for an Afghanistan article. The uninvolved editors have made it clear in their comments that their statements were in consideration for the article in question: the country article Pakistan. But that the topic needed elaboration on other articles. In this article everything related to Pakistan's support to the Taliban has been attributed. I will remove the tags if you fail to address what exactly is your issue with the current version of this article. JCAla (talk) 14:10, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

All the editors on that talkpage are uninvolved in that dispute except 4-5 including us. About being hijacked... lol, ever heard about WP:AGF? Or even WP:DONTASSUME? Tell them on their talkpages (or at the discussion) that you think so, so that they are better informed. Consensus there is clear even to you and that will be closed in due time. But apart from that this is going to be in the scope of the mediation. I will discuss it there as formal mediation is a formal venue for this discussion, which makes these tags completely valid. --lTopGunl (talk) 04:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Afghan Civil War (1992–1996)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Afghan Civil War (1992–1996)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Book_Anderson":

• From Abdul Rasul Sayyaf: John Lee Anderson. The Lion's Grave (26 November 2002 ed.). Atlantic Books. p. 224. ISBN 1-84354-118-1.
• From Afshar Operation: Anderson, John Lee. The Lion's Grave (November 26, 2002 ed.). Atlantic Books. p. 224. ISBN 1-84354-118-1.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 02:27, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
