Economy of Afghanistan
Re these edits it is not good enough to put sources into edit comments. You need to properly cite your sources in the article itself. Could you please go back and add sources? Thank you, Grachester (talk) 16:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I added the sources. I don’t really understand what you mean? WikiEditWaste (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * You put the sources into the edit summaries. You did not cite them in the article itself. The sources must go into the article. Putting them in the edit summaries is not good enough. Grachester (talk) 15:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

You just did the same thing on Taliban. Even worse, you removed the existing sources from the article. You left new sources in the edit summaries but that isn't sourcing the article. Put the new sources in the article body. If you don't do that, you are just disrupting articles and that can lead to you being blocked from editing. Grachester (talk) 15:22, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

Economy of Afghanistan II
Why have you reverted my edits on this page? I produced a lengthy explanation in the talk of this page on why the existing sources are extremely poor and on the insane amount of misinformation being peddled throughout this article. LeoHoffman (talk) 17:45, 8 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I cited everything you removed it WikiEditWaste (talk) 13:40, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The sources you are citing are using data that is not verifiable, that is untrue (as noted by myself and various other users on the talk page), and entirely misleading. I've tried to encourage you to engage with the discussions on the talk but you don't seem to be willing to do so. LeoHoffman (talk) 19:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Your source are unreliable though WikiEditWaste (talk) 18:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No they are not. Data from 2021 from an official source (World Bank/IMF/CIAWF) is infinitely more reliable than a random article you found on Google containing figures inflated 60x larger than they are in reality. I'm asking you to stop reverting sensible changes and to at least engage with discussion on the talk instead of being disruptive.
 * Your data can only be found in one source, which itself admits the quality of its data is 'extremely unreliable'. Data beyond 2021 is difficult to find, using false estimates that are allegedly from '2023' (a financial year which hasn't even come to completion) is not sensible at all. I have explained at length the reasoning why your edits are spreading misinformation in the talk page, AND SO TOO HAVE OTHER USERS! LeoHoffman (talk) 07:46, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You tried to pull the same stunt on the 'list of countries by GDP' page, where you tried to bump the GDP of Afghanistan based on the awful source you're using. They rightly so reverted your changes on the basis that your figures are completely falsified.
 * You cannot spread a false narrative to peddle a reality that seems to only exist in your head. LeoHoffman (talk) 07:48, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've done the courtesy of pasting my explanation here for you to read since you have no intention of discussing in the talk page:
 * Estimates of GDP (PPP) are based on one article, which happens to be the among the top Google search results for 'Afghanistan GDP 2022', from an organization with no international standing.
 * Figures are estimates based on the informal economy, leading to incredibly inflated figures with no explanation of the rationale or processes that produced such numbers. The organization themselves rate their confidence estimates for each nation-state's figures from A-E, Afghanistan has been rated E ("E: Extremely poor quality").
 * https://www.worldeconomics.com/Country-Size/Afghanistan.aspx
 * What is worse is that this page has used the dubious information within the article to produce falsified nominal GDP figures, despite no references within the article itself. The errors have been carried forward to produce falsified GDP rankings and positions that contradict figures within referenced source articles!
 * As it stands, these figures must be removed. I believe that the most recent official World Bank figures for 2021 be inserted to counter the disinformation that has been left on this page for many weeks now. I will also be referring to figures within the World Bank June 2023 economic monitor report.
 * https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/fa0c4e858c221e38c01d92fc2f0df7b3-0310012023/original/Afghanistan-Economic-Monitor-28-June-2023.pdf LeoHoffman (talk) 12:27, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It is vital to understand that accurate figures are not yet available due to the lack of information from Taliban-led Afghanistan. While it is tempting to find the most recently available information, this should not be done at the expense of amplifying misleading and falsified information. The World Bank economic monitor reports should be used as a 'next best' source, though it is also incomplete.
 * Edit: HDI data has also been falsified from a supposed 2023 report that does not exist. The most recent data is from the 2022 report which is based on 2021 data. LeoHoffman (talk) 07:54, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Reliable sources/Noticeboard
 * I have asked for the verifiability of your source to be assessed. LeoHoffman (talk) 16:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The source has been assessed as being of an extremely poor quality in Afghanistan, and we ought to be 'skeptical' of any information being presented.
 * You still refuse to engage in discussion, and at this point I believe you are acting in bad faith to cause disruption. LeoHoffman (talk) 23:23, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I will be referring this to ANI LeoHoffman (talk) 23:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
