Talk:Battle of Musa Qala

Source đź“ť

924:/ Kandak unit consisted of 240 ANA fighting toops, 36 British and 12 US special forces soldiers. 3 Kandak was broken down into six platoons of ANA, with three British soldiers attached to each one and two US special forces in each of the first three assaulting platoons. The remaining British and US forces were in ground support vehicles IE: US HMWWV's and British WMIKS. The actual first soldier in was 2Lt John Dennis (C company, 2 Yorks), commanding OMLT Amber One, with an ANA Kandak platoon. Task Force Fury (US airborne), under the command of Lt Col Brain Mennes air assaulted, from Chinooks, into the surrounding villages with US Task Force 10 on high ground above the area destroying heavy machine gun positions. At least that is what it says in one of the the battle reports I am reading on page 51 of the Yorkshire Regiment Journal of Spring 2008. There is an extensive amount of first hand detail in there that was not reported by the international media. I suppose you could get a copy of it from the regiment's headquarters in 21: 211: 289: 240: 268: 118: 54: 299: 173: 149: 585:. 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:- 1312:, but above you have written "Marskell did not write bad articles". This seems to be a bit odd, and implicating that it is Marksell's article, rather than a WP article, and thus I am not allowed to edit it. You have substituted the actions of someone you are familiar with against that of the article proper. 1248:
One section is labelled "wider fighting" which is being used as a dump ground for random events in the region -- only events that are directly related to this battle should be present, i.e. if there was some strategic association between the two (forces regrouping, reduction of firepower/strength at

Indeed, there was a good deal of gratuitous tagging and damage to the article, so I've reverted quite a ways back. My apologies if I missed any good edits, but there was no other way to restore the article. The editor who did the damage appears to be of the notion that every sentence must be cited,
1346:
I have removed the editor's comments that are not helpful to have in the article. Problems should be adressed here on the talkpage. I have also removed a couple of citation needed and who tags that were superfluous, because the statement was covered in the reference for the next phrase or because it

I have reverted Sany Georgia's revert - having looked at he diff I was not in doubt that the most recent pre-revert version correctly identified problematic passages that required citations, and provided citations several more places. The only problematic content were the notes, but as those are not

The attack into the town was by 3 Kandak (ANA) mentored by C company 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment OMLT (Operational mentoring Liason Team), under the command of Major Adams, supported by 2 Kandak (ANA) and B Company 2nd Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment under the command of Major Little. Each OMLT

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.

so as long as we don't have a defaced article with gratuitous tags on the mainpage, we seem to be on the road. FAs are not immune to improvement, but no article benefits from gratuitous tagging when the info is in the next cited source. (The IP might not realize that not every sentence requires a

after concern was lodged that the article needed to be removed from TFA. Most of the tagging was gratuitous (I've not located an instance that wasn't). I was up til sunrise trying to investigate what had happened here-- whether it was a faulty FAC pass or article deterioration since it passed-- I

With a few more minutes, I'll also review the featured version versus what's up now; if I find there was other damage before mainpage day, I may need to revert further back, so please hold off on any cleanup until I have a few minutes to review vs. the featured version. Marskell did not write bad
796:
In principle I agree, though at the present stage more details will start to unfold, now the actual combat has died down a little. So perhaps it will be better to have each day's event kept separate, to prevent to much rewriting of text in to allow the prose to flow as individual events are fitted

Indeed, it also needs to be put in context. The Taliban have subsequently emerged as major allies of the drug gangs. It is a large % of their current income. The Taliban ban should be seen for what it was, an OPEC like "opium shock" intended to improve the long term profitability of their own

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
456:
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.
1236:
Description of the battle does not properly create a prosaic "flow" Individual events, such as a particular person being shot down, are mixed with the movements of troops. This makes it a hard read, as you have to keep tabs on one idea, with little understanding of the surrounding
1065:
So I come back, and for the hard work I do, I get it undone? Im not "owning" the article, I am pointing out problems and fixing them! Goodness! Were any of the edits wrong? It seems that had this not been an FA, my efforts would have been appreciated, not derided.
502:. "In what military commanders described as a defining battle for the stability of Helmand province, around 4,500 Nato soldiers and Afghan National Army troops launched a series of attacks against a 2,000-strong Taliban force entrenched in the town of Musa Qala." -- 1259:
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.
1199:: The Taliban have set up a special tribunal in the territory they control at which judges sentence whomever they deem to be culprits, or against the Taliban, to death, amputation or stoning, a source who cannot be identified for security reasons told IRIN. 1366:
source-- the info is often found in the next source.) The IP also appears to misunderstand "Rollback", which is used only for vandalism, and was not used here. Thanks to everyone who helped out. IP, it appears you may not be reading the section of
1154:
Article suggests that taliban was allowing the drug trade in the city to tax it. This is not supported by the citation. The citation says, in general the taliban have been known to tax drugs, and that there were large quantities of drugs in the town.
247: 159: 655:
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.
1871: 1244:
The article has a list at the end which is a list of people killed or otherwise reported as captured or killed, even if it is incorrectly reported. This could be converted into a sentence or two as there is repated information (eg maybe
1831: 905:
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?
1177:
In this instance it is suggested that stonings and amputations occured. This is not supported by citations, which suggest that tribunals were set up, but make no claims (other than the hangings) of what occured.
1985: 1286:
so reverted the tagging. Is anyone else looking at this list? I may not get to it today after being up all night. IP, three MilHist coordinators supported the FAC; they didn't see a problem with the list.

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.
