Talk:List of territorial disputes

message: Why is this here?  Arguably, the Union and the Confederacy disputed the territory of every secessionary state; should we list all of those too?  And by that standard, isn't every every civil war in which both sides can form a functioning or internationally-recognized government a territorial dispute?  But including all of those would dilute the list's usefulness to irrelevance.  Bernanke's Crossbow (talk) 07:57, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Seriously, who in their right mind would consider the Kashmir border dispute in the same category or page as a New Hampshire-VT disagreement in the US Revolutionary war times? When did NH or NY exist as independent republics?? Vermont REPUBLIC??? recognized by who? If that merits mention, there were dozens of provincial disputes in the Spanish colonies in South America not mentioned here. Leave it to some overzealous US dimwit to put those on the same level. 198.24.21.137 (talk) 14:55, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically all the U.S. states were independent until the Articles of Confederation were ratified, and outside of sovcits no one has any doubt that the Contstition's ratification ended the last semblance of that. And as for the NH-VT dispute, Vermont remained an independent state until 1792. Daniel Case (talk) 19:20, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

message: The official status of the Estonian-Russian dispute is grey, to say the least. For all intents and purposes, the border isn't moving any time soon. A treaty confirming this is signed, but was never ratified, and given the minor disagreement of impending world war, it is very unlikely to happen soon either. The Estonian constitution officially lays claim to those lands, even if any head of state or government doesn't (or even clearly states the opposite).
Does the resolved conflicts section take into account de facto resolved issues, or should it be moved under ongoing disputes? It is still a topic that arises in Estonian politics, even if merely as populist undertakings by certain parties.
This is, obviously, a question of technicalities, but distinguishing the situation from Latvia which has a mutually ratified border agreement with Russia seems like a vital nuance. The Estonian-Russian border, from an Estonian juridical standpoint, is a "temporary control line". MartinusK (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say it is a dispute. Any territory dispute had to be resolved before both sides can sign a border treaty. And because there is a border treaty signed by Estonia and Russia. It means there is no territorial dispute between Estonia and Russia. It's just common sense.

message: The current map in the lead shows (among other things) the vast traditional territorial claims of the Republic of China (Taiwan) as disputed territory, but is currently missing the chunk of land Taiwan also technically claimes in Tajikistan (See China–Tajikistan border#History) If the traditional claims were to be referenced. Can someone fix that slight error, thanks. Zinderboff(talk) 02:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
