afghan-soviet war

You've done a complete rewrite of the entire section, deleting material for no good reason in the process. It may satisfy BLP (speak well of American officials) but it does not satisfy NPOV by any stretch of the imagination. You should restore the previous version and add your preferred narrative: the place where Steve Coll is quoted is the a very good place to do so. You winner take all strategy is not going to work.

@Guccisamsclub: I would advise you to take a closer look, and tell me, specifically, what was wrongly deleted. The cite kill is still there. The Brzezinski quote is still there. The Slocombe quote is still there. The stuff about Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is still there. Literally all I deleted was "Some scholars also view the action as following from Brzezinski’s aspiration of using Islamic fundamentalism to counter the global left" and "By the end of 1980, out of the 80,000 soldiers strong Afghan Army, more than half had either deserted or joined the rebels." I thought, and still think, the latter sentence was out of place. You previously criticized the former as a WP:FRINGE view, but if you want to put it back in, by all means.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 00:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, I was reading the wikitext and missed some things. You're right—most of it is there. However, the excessive reliance on partisan primary sources, together with their rhetoric, does violate DUE, NPOV. I'll check back later. Guccisamsclub (talk) 00:51, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Your e-mail

This is in response to your e-mail:

"To clarify, does your statement in the log of sanctions (https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions/Log/2017#American_politics_2) regarding my American Politics topic ban ("They may appeal this restriction after six months have passed") mean that I HAVE to wait six months to appeal it? Bishonen's decision to revoke DS from "2016 United States election interference by Russia" on the grounds that they were hard to understand and exacerbating the conflict on that page arguably helps my case, but I guess there's no point in composing an appeal if I am not allowed to make one at this time."

You may appeal the sanction to AE or AN at any time if you believe it was wrongly imposed. But if you want to appeal it because you want me to lift it because it is no longer needed, please wait six months.  Sandstein  21:04, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
