Ok, we have the Afghan National Army commander. But who's the ISAF commander? If any ISAF forces are participating, they are most certainly not under the command of an Afghan. If we don't know specifics, just put "Canadian Military Leadership" or whatever nation's forces are participating in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.73.188 ( talk) 23:57, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
There are five regional commands in Afghanistan, the one for the south is currently under the command of Major General J Page (UK) See:- ISAF Regional Commands. Richard Harvey ( talk) 08:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Surely there is a lower ranked commander responsible for ISAF forces taking part in this assault? Who was the ISAF field commander in this attack? If we know, it should be put down under leaders, if we don't know we should just put "Unknown ISAF Field Commander" or something down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.73.188 ( talk) 01:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Where are we getting the Taliban fighting strength from? Marskell ( talk) 12:23, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
There is confusion over the number of military casualties. With changes between British, NATO, and ISAF (International Security Assistance Force). Lets not confuse things, the military groups are split into three main groups, either Taliban, Afghan Army or ISAF The ISAF group covers all the Military units that are not Afghan. The ISAF is under the control of NATO (See:- [1]) For the latest breakdown of countries participating see this ISAF pdf file:- NATO ISAF Placements. Currently the ISAF only lists one soldier killed by a mine with another injured in the same explosion. Another story indicates A soldier killed in an explosion in southern Afghanistan, with two others injured. This may be a prior report relating to the same incident and as yet it is unclear if they are. See:- NATO/ISAF press release. Richard Harvey ( talk) 08:51, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
In the info box in the upper right hand corner, the "Outcome" section of the battle is listed as "Coalition victory" yet insofar as it is labeled an ongoing event the battle is not yet finished. I assume it is merely an accidental prematurity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.30.13.44 ( talk) 14:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
BBC reported that the Afghans had taken the town with the assistance of NATO forces.
Also, only one British soldier has died, the second soldier was from another NATO country, not Britain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.163.120 ( talk) 23:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
For the record, the battle summaries placed at the top right of the page are called "info boxes"? I've always wondered about it but had no idea how to ask so I apologize if this isn't the proper place to ask. 67.149.243.229 ( talk) 00:11, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
The growing of poppy was banned under Taliban rule and reemerged after their fall and it is grown by non taliban. Darth Anzeruthi ( talk) 21:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I personally find the bolded dates ugly. If we returned to ordinary prose, would it hurt in any way? Marskell ( talk) 12:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I think that an OrBat would greatly enhance this article.

The locator dot for Musa Qala on the main image seems to be missing. Currently, there is just a blank map of the provinces of Afghanistan. The Celestial City ( talk) 00:18, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
This article needs serious copyediting. I made a start, but there are lots of grammar, structure and citation issues throughout. This should have been caught during an FA review. 86.26.60.18 ( talk) 02:24, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
I should stop editing and go, but I keep finding problems. There is conflicting information about the Afghan forces leading the "final push", and later it says that british forces were leading the push to the bazaar -- which is it? 86.26.60.18 ( talk) 02:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
This was longer, but firefox ate my edit :(.
Problems:
That is not all, but that is all i am willing to waste time on, again. If you look through the edit history, rather than just block hit your rollback button, you will see the problems. If its an FA, perhaps you can take time to actually look at these problems. 86.26.60.18 ( talk) 12:30, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
