But what about the idea that the CIA covertly supported the Taliban in the Russian killings?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.196.40 (talk) 02:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What about CIA

message: Sorry, but this sounds like a fairytale and has very few sources. The war was fought to liberate women from unjust and sadistic oppression? That is the full story of its causes? It has narrative structure more consistent with a work of fiction (i.e. orientation, complication, resolution, coda, clearly predetermined heroes and villains) than an actual historic account. Either the average mental age of adults in the West has deteriorated to that of a seven year old, or this was written by a complete idiot who needs to be sent to back to primary school, or perhaps be committed to a mental asylum. Please look at other articles for a better template and rewrite this whole article based on their precedent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.192.205.58 (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The source provided DOES contain information on this fact.

Musharraf wanted his troops to gain combat experience in Afghanistan before being deployed against India ..."

message: If the scope of this article is to be limited to the period before the U.S.-led intervention of 7 October 2001, then we cannot claim this conflict was 'won' by the Northern Alliance. Before the intervention, they had their backs against the wall, being forced into guerrilla warfare from the sparsely populated mountains in the northeast. After the fall of Kabul in September 1996, which this article takes as its starting position, the Alliance lost huge swaths of terrain (mainly those controlled by Junbish and Hezbe Wahdat) until October 2001, with some temporary recoverings here and there and only some small gains to the north of Kabul. At best, the conflict should be described as a stalemate on the eve of the intervention. Although the Northern Alliance successfully petitioned the U.S. and allies to intervene in its favour in the weeks leading up to the invasion, which one may consider a significant diplomatic victory, "Fall of the Taliban government", "Northern Alliance enter Kabul" and "Destruction of al-Qaeda training camps" are all events that happened after 7 October. I propose we more strictly separate the two. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your statement in principle and yes the situation as of when the US invaded Afghanistan could be described as a stalemate between the Taliban and Northern Alliance. However, I think we should collect some WP:RS in support of this (should not be hard to do) and then proceed. Thoughts? Adamgerber80 (talk) 01:54, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Northern Alliance victory'? 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Afghan Civil War (1996–2001)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "afghanistan":
From Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict: 
From Abdul Rashid Dostum: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:15, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
