Talk:List of wars: 1945–1989

message: I removed the Flag of Tibet because it was a military flag instead of a national one. At the same time I added PRC flag for the uprising in 1959 when the Tibetan country had been formally part of PRC (with Dalai Lama's ratification) for almost a decade.219.79.27.241 (talk) 15:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: List of wars 1500-1799

message: The distinction between a de facto and a de jure end (or beginning) of the KW is meaningless.  Few if any wars have such distinctions -- and none are listed in this article.  The fact that South Korea did not sign off on the Armistice is a red herring.  Legally they did not have the authority to sign off because the United Nations was the authority under which the defense of SK was conducted.
Saying that "technically" the war continues is not saying anything about the fighting that actually stopped or subsequent events.
If a war does not have one side surrendering to the other, does the war technically continue?  No.  For the most part, the wars listed here simply stop.
Here is another example to illustrate how the distinction in meaningless.  The Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina had a definite ending date -- the Argentine forces on the islands were beat.  But did the war continue on "technically" or de jure?  No.  In fact, the countries exchanged diplomatic visits some years later.  If those visits signaled that the war was over, then similar diplomatic visits between SK & NK certainly signal that the Korean War was over.
Finally, no historical work regarding the KW discusses it in terms of the war "continuing" in a de jure or technical fashion.

thread_title:  Why is the Indochina War of 1954 (France's defeat at Dien Bien Phu) not here? 

message: The article needs to clearly define what is meant by "victorious party" and "defeated party". It is clearly absurd to consider Suez a victory for the British or the French except in a very narrow military sense.  Politically it was a catastrophe from which neither country has even now fully recovered from. If the article means "victorious" in a narrow sense of what happened on the battlefield then it should say so because to many general readers "victorious party" means the party which derived the most benefit - or the least loss - from a war. 80.6.63.220 (talk) 13:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's about military victories only. If you'll notice, the British militarily defeated the Mau Mau in Kenya, but Kenya eventually became independent. Oh, and no one's touching the table. B-Machine (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article needs to clearly explain in a couple of sentences what is meant by "victorious party" and "defeated party" rather than burying it in the discussion page. 80.6.63.220 (talk) 17:09, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Victorious party means someone who won a war militarily. Defeated party means someone who lost a war militarily. Is that clear enoguh for you? B-Machine (talk) 15:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Casualties

message: I wondering about the appropriateness of listing ex-Nazis and Yugoslavs under the belligerents of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. First of all, there is no mention of ex-Nazis in the primary article on the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. If, there were ex-Nazis involved in the war, then this should be described and documented in the primary article. However, even if they were involved in the war, I would argue that they should not be listed so specifically in this list. If those ex-Nazis were nationals of one of the states or members of one of the organizations involved in the war, then they are already accounted for. If they were nationals of other states that were not belligerents in the war, then they should be listed as Foreign Volunteers, as in other wars on the list. It seems to me that this part of the list is only included to demonize the Arab combatants in an article that should be providing a basic overview of the military engagement.

They were subsequently topic banned from all content related to WP:ARBPIA, indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry and topic ban violations and have been using sockpuppetry both via accounts and IPs ever since (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/AndresHerutJaim/Archive).

message: A fishery dispute with zero casualties doesn't belong on a page about wars such as the Vietnam War...

thread_title:  "Cod war" - seriously? 

message: Well, some people apparently would add here anything ans everything, but not every conflict or something called "war" is a war per definition. For instance 2 people dead in Iraqi-Kuwaiti clash in 1973 is not a war. Water War is not a war either. Removing redundant.GreyShark (dibra) 13:50, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
