Talk:Operation Medusa

message: "The insurgency is going through its bloodiest period since U.S.-backed forces overthrew a Taliban government in late 2001 after it refused to hand over Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. More than 2,000 people, most of them militants, along with scores of civilians and aid workers as well as hundreds of Afghan security personnel have been killed so far in 2006, while over 100 foreign troops have died, including those killed in the plane crash on September 2, 2006.[2][4]"
This piece may be accurate, but it reads like a news report, is completely out of date, and has ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE IN AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. Please desist from including material like this in any future articles. 86.42.203.20 (talk) 21:41, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest merging this to Taliban insurgency; both articles are rather poor and I think we could make one good article out of them. I'll continue to work on improving both articles, but if there are no serious objections I'll merge in a few days. --Guinnog 20:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Object While putting down the Taliban is part of this operation, the Taliban insurgency is a separate issue, merging these two subjects would be confusing, and the Taliban insurgency has been going on longer. This is a purely military operation, and the Taliban is part political, part military problem.Lan Di 21:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge

message: Right now this is basically a bunch of long paragraphs dumped together with no overall structure. There is too much gnats-eye-view stuff, which, I'm pretty sure, was ripped off of the AP wire by anonymous editors. Most of it should be stripped out, or moved to a point-form timeline ("day 6: artillery strikes here", etc).
I would ask for a large scale narrative synthesizing what is really happening, but nobody seems to know what is really happening. (Maybe NATO, but they aren't telling.)

thread_title:  Cleanup needed 

message: While the Legion article is quite detailed, don't know how comfortable I am with the text being the ONLY source of info.  Yes, it's multi-sourced, but so are other documents (like the link I added from the Hamilton Spectator).  Also, it would be nice to see some links to primary sources (I'm adding this one http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/focus/opmedusa/index_e.asp for the Board of Inquiry looking into the friendly fire death that happened during OP Medusa).
Thanks for all the work!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.249.251 (talk) 18:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
