Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

I can’t, I don’t have the authority to do this. We can only hope that one of the editors of the article will indicate this source. Hikka1999 (talk) 19:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I accidentally made a mistake, I apologize.And I hope that in the template with losses the author Giustozzi, Antonio will be indicated as the upper limit for Taliban losses of 80k killed. 53k the number seems underestimated, yes, I understand the war ended unsuccessfully for the United States and the Afghan army, but I doubt that the Taliban’s losses are lower than the losses of the anti-Taliban coalition, but again, these are just my guesses. Hikka1999 (talk) 08:14, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it should be a good idea for who is editing the page to use even the successive figures to determinate size,money and tree of taliban insurgency. Until now there is too much "i estimate, Brown State University estimate, it is thought that taliban....". 151.35.148.44 (talk) 16:56, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sir, Giustozzi numbers are from private Taliban sources in the years of 2002-2016 (excluding 2013). In figure at pag 263, there Is specifically the separate counts for Afghan citizens in Taliban ranks (80,000+) and pakistani citizens (15,000+). Can you please consider the source? 93.150.81.140 (talk) 16:38, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Pashto transliteration is wrong. ⟨جګړه⟩ would transliterate as ⟨jgṛh⟩. I'm not familiar enough with Pashto to know what/where the vowels are or if it includes some sort of grammatical suffix. Snowman304|talk06:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
