thread_title:  POV edits by Indian editors 

message: The rules that apply to the rest of Afghanistan are often irrelevant in the Wakhan Corridor, a frigid, finger-shaped stretch of land squeezed between Tajikistan, Pakistan and China that is cut off from the Afghan heartland by the icy ramparts of the Hindu Kush. Here, the one constant of life for most Afghans — war — is as distant as a tropical wind. 
From the Soviet invasion to the civil war to the Taliban takeover to the anti-Taliban resistance, the Wakhan has remained largely free of strife. No Taliban show their faces here, nor do American soldiers. Villagers train to be wildlife rangers, not army rangers. The prevalent brand of Islam, Ismailism, is moderate; its spiritual leader, the Aga Khan, is a billionaire society figure in Paris.

thread_title:  In Icy Tip of Afghanistan, War Seems Remote 

message: * Reuters says :
"The Wakhan Corridor extends in a panhandle in Afghanistan's northeastern Badakhshan province up to the relatively small border with China's Xinjiang province. The corridor is roughly 210 km long (130 miles) long and between 20 km and 60 km wide." 
* New York Times says:
"More than 12,000 people live in the 220-mile corridor, a series of broad valleys and high-altitude plateaus carved by the Panj River. "
* International Boundary Study No. 26 (Revised) – September 15, 1983 Afghanistan – U.S.S.R. Boundary says in p. 3:
"The easternmost 218 kilometers in the Wakhan Corridor follow mountain crests in the Pamirs."
* IBS map quotes same 218 kilometers.
I'm inclined to believe IBS is the authoritative source on this one, and NYT simply botched on their article the length of Wakhan corridor simply substituting mi for km. The width is directly not quoted, but by looking the map 20-60 km or 10-40 miles is as good guess as any. Cheers, Rayshade (talk) 22:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: How was the political situation during the Taliban reign, how is the political situation now? That corridor does not look like the Taliban could have ever had a good grip on the corridor, so that might be interesting. --212.201.78.234 (talk) 22:47, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi , There is a reference(,) which clearly states that Wakhan corridor borders Jammu and Kashmir's northern border which is currently Pakistan Administered Kashmir/Azad Kashmir. Can you please explain how this is a POV edit? It was actually a part of this article for quite some time before it was removed by a IP a couple of months ago. I don't see why it was not considered POV then. Adamgerber80 (talk) 18:43, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have been added recently, but it has never been in the article before. That still doesn't make it right. It is definitely WP:UNDUE and WP:POV as Pakistani-administered Kashmir is not a country. Mar4d (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wakhan Corridor and Kashmir 

message: From time to time, people have edited the lede to state that the Corridor is in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I respectfully ask that you do not do this; the corridor is entirely in Afghanistan; historically, it was created to separate Russia from British India. The parts of British India that touch the corridor are now Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan. The article recognizes this. Thanks for respecting these known geo-political facts.
