Orphaned references in Ahmad Shah (Taliban)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ahmad Shah (Taliban)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Book_Robinson":

From Operation Red Wing: Luttrell, Marcus (2006). Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. Back Bay Books. ISBN 0316067598. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help); Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)
From Marcus Luttrell: Luttrell, Marcus (2006). Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10. Back Bay Books. ISBN 0316067598. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help); Unknown parameter |month= ignored (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:48, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accurate number?

In the limited reading I've done it said that Operation Red Wing SEALs battled over 100 to 150 Taliban fighters. This article says from 8 to 35. I'm no expert, so I'm wondering which one it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.74.195.100 (talk) 17:34, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page title issue

This page should properly not be titled "Ahmad Shah (Taliban)," as Shah was not a member of the Taliban but a leader of so-called "anti-coalition militia" who actually once fought against the Taliban. If distinction is needed with other Ahmad Shah's then perhaps "militia" or "fighter" should be added. Hedgerowhedgehog (talk) 05:54, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
