problem...

The map showing Jalalabad's location is currently off by several provinces. Geo Swan (talk) 15:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jalalabad is in Nangarhar Province. That's where the point is on the map, right? --MarsRover (talk) 16:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found it was a render problem. The dot's position remains constant. But changing the size of one's text, or the size of one's image throws it off. Further, when one clicks on the map, to see a more detailed view, the dot disappears. I think the use of this dot mechanism should be deprecated.

Further, the latitude and longitude on the article Coordinate 34° 31′ 0″ N, 70° 31′ 0″ E Decimal 34.516667°, 70.516667° is clearly incorrect. Jalalabad is supposed to be at the confluence of the two rivers. But maps show the current position in the article as north of the confluence of the rivers. Geo Swan (talk) 14:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To me the map looks like Jalalabad is in Pakistan. This mapping method has problems, probably due to changing the text size as mentioned above. 220.253.82.122 (talk) 00:20, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

bpy:-interwiki

Please, remove any on sight immediately as quickly as possible, this could prevent cross-languages interwiki pollution if done at the time. All these articles in bpy.wiki are dumbbot-created stubs on Indian locations. See Jalalabad (disambiguation) for an explanation why it’s here where these interwiki invade. Thank you.

Mauryan Empire excision

In November 2014, a long-departed and unmissed editor with strong opinions and a seemingly nationalistic affiliation with the Indian Peninsula, added a large quantity of material about the Mauryan Empire to the article without tying it to the subject of Jalalabad. I've removed it. Tapered (talk) 04:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hottest major city in Afghanistan

@Wq639: I've re-reverted the edit identifying Jalalabad as the hottest city in the nation. There are two interrelated problems. First, the citation shows no page number to verity the information. Second, the author of the cited work is not a reliable source for climate information concerning Afghanistan—unless she cites a source in her book to confirm the information, which of course would require a page number in the citation. Regards Tapered (talk) 08:26, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think Tepered is right. There is no compelling reason to put that statement. There are also other hot cities in Afghanistan, including Lashkargah etc. Khestwol (talk) 06:30, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tribe living in Jalalabad

There is no such details about Tribe living in this province. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.65.205.122 (talk) 10:50, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which is it?

“Occasional suicide attacks by anti-Afghanistan forces often take place.” Either they’re occasional or often. Can’t fix it due to lack of research on my part. But someone who know please do so. mattmidi 23:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdbrown1427 (talk • contribs)

117.5 (48), 120 (49), or somewhere in between?

Conflicting data from sources; the weatherbox says that the record high is 117.5 F (48 C), but in the text it says 120 F (49 C) is a mean summer maximum, not a record high temperature. Jtadesse (talk) 03:56, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
