New section.

[edit]

The Taliban has once again taken over many parts of the country. It's only fair that a "Resurgence" section is added. People need to know about this when they read this article. Do not try to brush this under the carpet.150.101.89.147 (talk) 07:20, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the formation of the Taliban in the mid-1990s; the 2021 Taliban offensive is a separate topic. Even if material from the latter article were relevant here, your spamming of breaking news reports inaccurately asserting that "The US and UK are conducting a re-entry into Afghanistan" (based on the U.S. evacuating its embassy in Kabul) is not helpful or constructive to the development of Wikipedia's encyclopedic project.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 13:50, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No definite article in title?

[edit]

Should this article be titled 'History of the Taliban'? Nurg (talk) 08:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That article is currently a redirect which needs to be deleted first. Keepcalmandchill (please ping in responses) (talk) 10:16, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:Keepcalmandchill. I see. Do you agree that would be a good idea? There's no unusual grammatical thing at play, is there? Nurg (talk) 11:54, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

History of TalibanHistory of the Taliban – When the Taliban are mentioned in a Wikipedia article, it tis almost always preceded by a definite article. Interstellarity (talk) 18:49, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

false citation?

[edit]

the sentence preceding the [43] citation here doesn't match up with what the book says at all, it says nothing about mujahideen surrendering to the Taliban at all 216.252.90.24 (talk) 17:21, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in History of the Taliban

[edit]

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 History of the Taliban'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 "Anderson-2-2022":

  • From Taliban: Anderson, Jon Lee (28 February 2022). "The Taliban Confront the Realities of Power". The New Yorker. Retrieved 3 March 2022.
  • From Mullah Omar: Anderson, Jon Lee (28 February 2022). "The Taliban Confront the Realities of Power". The New Yorker. Retrieved 19 June 2023.

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. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 19:11, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
