[edit] problem...

Jalalabad's position, as stated in the article, and its real position.
Jalalabad's position, as stated in the article, and its real position.

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

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