Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be
aware before they can be sanctioned.
With respect to any reverting restrictions:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to
the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

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
History of War in Afghanistan (2001–present)'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.
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.

Not a single native source? — Preceding

I don't know. I see The Guardian, The Daily Beast,
C-SPAN, The Washington Times, and many other fairly well-known sources in addition to many others. The first entry in "View History" for this article says it was created 2019-03-19T16:56:40‎ by copying the "History" section of the main article. With 454 total "References", it seems unlikely that it was writted by the CIA.
By "Not a single native source", I assume you mean a publication native to Afghanistan? I could guess multiple reasons for that, but Wikipedia is written by volunteers. If you know something relevant you think should be here that's not, please add it, subject to the standard Wikipedia rules of writing from a neutral point of view citing credible sources.

I have no idea what my specific complaint was here but thanks for your extensive answer. I noticed some citations are broken as well and in need of fixing.

Split proposal
Okay.... lets all be honest here in saying that there is no way 20 years of war can be covered in one article. I am proposing a split in years to at least make editing more manageable. Elements from these article should then be merged with
War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)#History. -
Knowledgekid87 (

I originally voted no to split but after reviewing the article again I have changed my mind. This is 5000 words over the readable prose size (
WP:TOOBIG) for "Almost certainly should be divided or trimmed." Doing it by decade is nonstandard but not the worst way to do it.
