FYI There is a discussion at Talk:Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant which bears some relationship to this article. Batternut ( talk) 10:37, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Why is Pakistan labelled ally of ISIS K based mere claims by another countries government? Even Pakistani government claims that ISIS K is supported by India and Afghanistan. So why should one country's should be given more importance. Shouldn't this be against Wikipedia standards. Hence i have removed Pakistan under the allies sections. Someone should take action against this type of behavior. 5.36.68.198 ( talk) 00:14, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
The United States was mistakenly listed under the "allies" part of the infobox rather than "state opponents." This has been fixed. Et0048 ( talk) 23:14, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
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 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Khorasan Province'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.

This sentence:
In Afghanistan, ISIL has not only been recruiting from the villages but also the urban middle class and specifically targeting the universities as there have been cases of lecturers in Islamic law as well as students at Kabul University pledging allegiance to the group.
should be corrected to say:
In Afghanistan, ISIL has been recruiting not only from the villages but also from the urban middle class and specifically targeting the universities as there have been cases of lecturers in Islamic law as well as students at Kabul University pledging allegiance to the group.

Just wanted to question the use of "Iraq and the Levant" and "ISIL" in this article when the group operates more than 1,000 kilometers away from Iraq and the Levant. Khorasan being a "province" of a "state of Iraq and the Levant" does not sit well with me geographically. The group was founded after the 2014 caliphate declaration. As such, the Arabic-language designation "الدولة الإسلامية ÙÙŠ العراق والشام - ولاية خراسان‎" in the article has probably never been officially used, and was probably reconstructed from the English term used in this article rather than found in any primary sources. Not to mention Arabic is not an official or common language of Afghanistan, so listing the group's name in Arabic rather than Pashto or Dari may be inappropriate. Furthermore, if "ISIL denies any connection" to the ISKP as is mentioned in article, there should be no objection to using the group's self-styled "Islamic State" name rather than ISIL, but I am not confident that this claim is completely correct.

US officials have been working under the assumption that the suicide bombing / shootout that occurred is likely an attack by ISIS-K. [1] 2601:248:501:2330:6D4E:C4A0:E175:75AC ( talk) 20:05, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Change "Islamic State of Iraq and Levant - Khorasan Province" to "Islamic State - Khorasan Province."
Please correct the name of the organization. It is Islamic State - Khorasan Provice. It is not Islamic State of Iraq and Levant - Khorastan Province, which makes no sense and is absurd. That's like saying the Chinese State of Peiking Province - Shanghai Province. Or the United Nations of New York - Geneva Office. Wikepedia gets this right several times both on this page and in the notes and talk for this page, but for some reason the title for this page is still wrong. Islamic State is correctly identified as being "self styled" Islamic State, but there is no reason to refer to them as the part that only exists in Iraq and the Levant when they have branches in other parts of the world. The west sometimes prefers to use ISIL or ISIS, which is fine, but there is no reason to spell it out incorrectly to refer to two completely different provinces in different parts of the world. This page can be easily corrected and then it will match correct references to ISK across wikipedia.

The situation at the scene is unclear at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow where gunmen opened fire on attendees of a rock concert. However, given multiple media citations of US intelligence officials confirming responsibility and the organization's own claims, this article merits an update to reflect recent events.
