New section.
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)
 * 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)

No definite article in title?
Should this article be titled 'History of the Taliban'? Nurg (talk) 08:38, 19 August 2021 (UTC)


 * That article is currently a redirect which needs to be deleted first. Keepcalmandchill (please ping in responses) (talk) 10:16, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * 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)

History of Taliban → History of the Taliban – When the Taliban are mentioned in a Wikipedia article, it tis almost always preceded by a definite article.

 * Support, based on common usage within Wikipedia. With that said, I would not be adverse to a broader discussion on the use of "Taliban" vs "the Taliban"; translated over, "Taliban" is more grammatically correct, and the use of "Taliban" vs "the Taliban" varies in English usage based on the country the use is occuring in.

false citation?
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)

Orphaned references in History of the Taliban
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:  From Mullah Omar:  

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)
