Head Quarter Hypothesis

I was shocked by seeing Quetta and Peshawar the two capitals of Balochistan and KPK provinces of Pakistan mentioned as the headquarters of Talibans in the infobox of this article. As I am a well-educated Pakistani editor and aware of all current situation in Pakistan I can assure with highest responsibility that Quetta and Peshawar are not the headquarters of Taliban and never have been, though these cities were terrorism affected but never were the strong holds of Taliban. The claim was made on the base of four articles that I read thoroughly, all of these are poorly researched by the writers I think know nothing about Pakistan and Taliban so are highly misleading. Three articles written in 2006, 2009 and 2009, are based on a proposition of Richard Holbrooke that "Quetta appears to be the headquarter of Taliban" that is a proposition not a proof. And articles are outdated, even if it appeared to be at that time now this proposition is not valid because situation is altogether is changed in these eight nine years. The fourth article used as reference that Peshawar is headquarter of Taliban not even mentions it nor point any clue to that. So this is altogether a wrong proposition. Now I invite all those who don't agree this, should heavily research and present their argument. It is our responsibility to deliver the most authenticated knowledge to people who seeks knowledge on Wikipedia.

Headquarter concern

I am a well researched teacher, having very well researched thesis on Taliban. So I know Taliban has never any headquarter in Quetta and Peshawar rather they once opened an office in Doha Qatar but never in Pakistan, the references are based on a hypothesis given by Richard Holbrooke mentioned in three poorly written articles all by Indians. That I firmly believe trying to establish that Talibans have headquarters in Pakistan. Though I admit that Taliban has been an active faction in Tribal areas of KPK in agencies but never had a headquarter in Pakistan. These Indian editors are trying to establish a wrong a truly ill proposition. Even when I invited to go into research of the matter my change was reverted by an Indian editor that is a popsucket already. And if you check his history you'll for surely come to know that he is ferociously trying to bring a bad name to Pakistan in any article related to Pakistan. His all edits are based on his hate towards Pakistan. I request to senior editors to look into the details of this matter. Because being a true wikipedian and knowledge lover I believe knowledge should be based on truth and facts not on mere proposition and hate for others.

Great! Just cite some reliable sources and put that info into the article.Sinsearach (talk) 02:56, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Terrorist group? no?

Even on wikipedia I am surprised to see this group not stated to be a terrorist organization with many rock solid sources cited.Sinsearach (talk) 02:56, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Use of Mullah in the first paragraph

I've never made any edits to wikipedia before, so please take what I say with a grain of salt. In the first paragraph Mohammad Omar is described as "Mullah." It appears here to be used as an honorific. The same appears to be true with Akhtar Mansour, except the honorific hyperlinks to his page. (although his page's URL is still entitled Akhtar_Mansour) In the next sentence Mawlawi is used in a similar context, and like in the first sentence, does not hyperlink to Hibatullah Akhunzada's page. Is there an intentional distinction between Mullah when used for Mohammed Omar and Akhtar MAnsour?
