Comments edit

For the sake of keeping this super simple, I would suggest not requiring them to read an in-depth guide (PSCOI) or even asking them to create an account. I think it's just fine if someone submits a Request Edit from an IP and in those cases where there are severe errors or overt attack pages, we shouldn't ask them to jump through hoops.

I would include different information on "things to avoid" like avoiding "awards" sections in most cases and avoiding citing material authored by the article-subject, in most cases. An essay I wrote Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not (organizations) may be worth a See Also link, as it includes a lot of advice that is intended to prevent POV pushing and promotional editing. I cite this essay ALOT. Of course I'm bias because I wrote it, but I'd love to see it as a guideline someday. @NeilN: and I seem to agree on many aspects of it, but it's not clear if it has broader community consensus.

You may also be interested in a Request Edit wizard I started a while ago. I heard it has bugs, but I think a completed version would substantially improve Request Edit submissions and make it easier for submitters and reviewers. CorporateM (Talk) 18:24, 2 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Flag of Afghanistan edit

The flag of Afghanistan (Dari: پرچم افغانستان,[1] Pashto: افغانستان توغ) is an official symbol of Afghanistan. The country has had 25 flags since the first flag when the Hotak dynasty was established in 1709. During the 20th century alone, Afghanistan went through 19 national flags, more than any other country during that time period,[2][3], and most of them had the colors black, red, and green.

Following the Fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021 which is not completely fallen yet, there are two entities claiming to be the legitimate government of Afghanistan, each using a different flag. The Taliban-controlled Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which controls some of the countrysides, uses a white field with a black Shahadah, and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in exile, which continues to use the black, red, green tricolor. The red, black, and green one is accepted by almost all Afghan nationals except the Taliban. Taliban should accept what Afghan people accept and should not dishonor or disregard the dignity of a nation.
