Talk:South Ossetia war (1991–1992)

message: The article says that "23,000 ethnic Georgians fled South Ossetia". This is nonsense. That is about the number of Georgians that lived in South Ossetia before the war. And we know that most stayed. 
Also I think it should be mentioned that many Ossetians were driven from Georgia proper during the conflict - despite the fact that there was no fighting where they lived. Roffel (talk) 13:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This edit lengthened the background out of proportion. Additionally, it introduced several sentences copied word for word from dansk, without proper attribution. Was this copied over from some other article? --Xeeron (talk) 19:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Background 

message: Looking at the sources, during the conflict, neither side possessed something akin to a modern army. It seems as if the more organised units were akin to militias, while a significant part of actors were even less organised. Quote a lot of the fighting seems to have been done by armed individuals. I suggest not using the word "army" in here, unless refering to the soviet/russian one. --Xeeron (talk) 11:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Army, militia, irregulars 

message: Why is this version better? My version summarizes more things than this, such as the declaration of South Ossetian independence and events of the war (multiple offensives by Georgia that were repelled). Offliner (talk) 22:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See my edit summary. --Xeeron (talk) 22:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

text: It implies that. The declaration of independance is also in the other version, while repeating exact dates is not needed for a summary. Finally, this article, like other war articles also includes a background section, so it does not exclude events before january 5. --Xeeron (talk) 23:05, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Which background info do you want to summarize in the lead then? Offliner (talk) 23:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel the old version had the right approach there: Mentioning the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, providing a link for those who want to know more, while not getting bogged down in detail. Wikilinks take up a lot of the summary work. --Xeeron (talk) 23:30, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I still think the lead should be expanded. Presently it summarizes very little of the article's content. I will write another version later. Offliner (talk) 23:56, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lead 

message: I'm not sure if this removal of a good source is a good idea. If you look carefully, the "crisisgroup" source is not quoting "dansk" for this info. It's quoting Julian Birch instead. Offliner (talk) 22:47, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You removed a good source (without need as the section above shows). I just restored the source. That sentence is taken almost one to one from the dansk source that you removed. --Xeeron (talk) 22:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops, you're right about that. Offliner (talk) 23:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Do not remove dispute tag and fact tag until sources and references are attached to the image. Otherwise, it will be removed. Iberieli (talk) 01:12, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  The source of the image is a WP:RS. If you want to dispute its authenticity, you need to provide another WP:RS which supports your view. So far, all we have are your personal suspicions and accusations, which are of no relevance to WP. "Sources and references" are already attached to the image, so the tags are unjustified. Offliner (talk) 01:21, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

text:  Attributing the photo to SO sources is more than enough. If there are sources that doubt the authenticity of these photographs please provide them, we'll mention their assertions or remove the image altogether, otherwise it's WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Alæxis¿question? 06:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I agree with the second part of edit summary . No, seriously, stuff like that needs an independent source. I suggest asking for 3O on this.radek (talk) 05:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
