The map is severely wrong (see also talk page), it shows the Panjshir valley as part of the taliban territory, File:Afghanistan politisch 2000.png should be used instead Antemister (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. - in use - Jcb (talk) 21:18, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

one of those very common highly inaccurate maps about the civil war in afghanistan: The border between the taliban's and the northern alliance's territory is wrong (see File:Afghanistan politisch 2000.png, which is correct) Let's stop that spread of wrong information. I replaced any use of it Antemister (talk) 12:15, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It cannot be superseeded as the image is entirely different from existing one. Commons is a free depository of all kind of files, If the map is wrong and it clashes with the information in it, It can be changed in wikipedia. In commons this image can be kept as image only and later any other will come and claim that this map is perfect and another one is wrong..Can you provide some official information from somewhere else..--...Captain......Tälk tö me.. 14:36, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is entirely different because this map here is wrong. [[:File:Afghanistan politisch 2000.png, the correct one, is derived from Gilles Dorronsoro: Revolution Unending: Afghanistan, 1979 to the Present, Columbia University Press, New York 2005, ISBN 978-0-231-13626-6, S.249, a really excellent source about that topic. Commons is not a "depository of all kind of files", but a depository of files useful for educational purposes. I do not believe that anyone will come and claim this map is correct... the panjir valley, one of the centres of resistance against the taliban was never under their control.--Antemister (talk) 22:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Any verifiable evidence for your claim..???. If its wrong and not used for any kind of educational purpose all the details need to be varified. Since only one user is claiming that this is wrong..??--...Captain......Tälk tö me.. 13:39, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See Sommerkoms text in the old DR above. Sommerkom (currently inactive) is a really expert on the topic, having used every scientific book for writing en:Afghanischer Bürgerkrieg (1989–2001). The map was drwan according to some inaccurate map you can see in the TV or in daily newspapers.
Look at en:Panjshir Province and en:Kabul Province. The green (Taliban) area ist to large, since Panjshir was never under Taliban control. --Goldzahn (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
By the way: The maps at en:History_of_Afghanistan#Taliban_and_United_Front shows the correct situation in 2001. --Goldzahn (talk) 17:48, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This map is created from File:Afghanistan map civilwar01.png, Where the red colored area is excluded and mentioned as taliban controlled area. Its difficult to authenticate the map's varifiability--...Captain......Tälk tö me.. 15:42, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why it is difficult to verify the correctness of "this" (which?) map?--Antemister (talk) 20:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Afghanistan map civilwar01.png says, that there is a "derivative works", which links to File:Afghanistan map taliban.png But the green file is not the invers red one. In my view the red file (File:Afghanistan map civilwar01.png) is OK. The green one should be deleted (File:Afghanistan map taliban.png) --Goldzahn (talk) 01:57, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Most maps relating are likely to be challenged and disputed but it doesn't mean it should be deleted. Until such time there is a solid source and discussion to prove that this map is out of scope, this map will remain as kept. Bidgee (talk) 06:17, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
