Bronze?[edit]
I think the article should be nominated to bronze status. — Oxyaena Harass 02:31, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- Bronze usually doesn't need a discussion, so I'll just go ahead and upgrade it.

Needs updating[edit]
IMO this article needs to be updated in light of the Taliban's recent military gains and their attempted assassinations of Afghan government officials.-— Unsigned, by: 234599 / talk / contribs
- I've tried...but this is an ongoing situation. I'm reluctant to gave the article a comprehensive makeover at this time.-Flandres (talk) 18:24, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
- I’ll add some stuff at some point. I was the one who did the most recent major update. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 19:17, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Lack of coverage of war crimes and other miscellanea[edit]
Why aren't the numerous war crimes committed during this war (by both sides) covered in this article? Likewise, one would think that Afghanistan's copious mineral wealth would get at least a glossing mention. Carthage (talk) 21:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- To be honest, I was the one who expanded this article from its former state, and I kinda did a rush job on it. There are some oversights I hope to patch up in the future such as efforts to combat the opium trade and and expanded look at the war's aftermath.

- Right, I have already expanded on the Afghanistan article proper, but there is always more work to be done. Our article on the Soviet-Afghanistan War itself is abysmal. I added a note explaining some of the ways the then-communist government of Afghanistan expanded on women's rights, or attempted to at least. I think the article also glosses over how the US funded and supported the mujahedin (many of whom were not native Afghans, but foreigners from elsewhere).

- Yeah that article needs a complete rewrite. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante ItalianoMake a Reservation 01:43, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
