Talk:Afghanistan
Hi ,

regarding the discussion in the "Wikipedia is not news!" section, I'm not sure if this is already obvious, but we prefer secondary over tertiary sources (and there's a yellow WP:BRITANNICA entry in the list of perennial sources).

Please remain civil at Talk:Afghanistan and restrict comments there to content, not conduct, even if others make the same mistake. The competence/policy-learning request was probably unnecessary.

Thanks and best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:30, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you are probably right. I did not appreciate the other user's insinuations that several of us try to control information rather than respect policies, but my comment may indeed have been unnecessary. Jeppiz (talk) 22:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have addressed the information control accusation as well. As The Gentle Sleep has now apologized and – whether that's the ideal approach or not – silently removed the text from their answered message, I guess Special:Diff/1039139286 might be a possible approach. It's a bit unconventional for sure, but the entire situation is weird. Face-smile.svg ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:58, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Absolutely, I think you dealt with it very well. Thanks for the intervention! Jeppiz (talk) 23:00, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
