:::::I'm not sure I understand. I'm discussing your removal of the alternative names. At the very least I think "Operation Cast Lead" and "Gaza Massacre" belong in this part of the lead as reflections of the two belligerents. (the relative "officialness" of the terms seems a product of the conditions of the conflict itself) If editors want to also include other names that were used, that could be good  as there really was no overall "official" name for the event  but could we agree on, say, a maximum of four alternative names in the lead, with a link to the body where the many different terms used by the media could be discussed?
