Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Drmies (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I voiced an opinion at the afd for Luis Durani. IMO older established contributors frequently lapse from the policy on not scaring away newcomers.  I didn't voice a "keep" or "delete".  I will tell you that the article doesn't currently use references properly, and the proper use might help change people's minds.


 * One popular citation style is to use one of the template:cite news, template:cite web, or template:cite paper. You embed the template between a pair.  The two key fields a cite news or cite web should contain are the "url=" and "title=" field.


 * I am very interested in Afghanistan. I have worked on the articles on most of the Afghan captives in Guantanamo.  I have uploaded many of the images from Afghanistan, in the commons.  I have many questions about life in Afghanistan.


 * Perhaps I could ask some questions of you? Geo Swan (talk) 17:17, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
