Talk:List of ongoing armed conflicts

message: The suggested edit is combine the entry for the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Israeli-Lebanese conflict, which is listed as a subcategory of the Arab-Israeli conflict in wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8669
In "Major wars (10,000 or more combat-related deaths in current or previous year)" section, change:
* Arab–Israeli conflict
** Israeli–Palestinian conflict
*** Gaza–Israel conflict
**** Israel–Hamas war
***** Red Sea crisis
To:
* Arab–Israeli conflict
** Israeli–Palestinian conflict
*** Gaza–Israel conflict
**** Israel–Hamas war
***** Red Sea crisis
** Israeli–Lebanese conflict
*** Hezbollah–Israel conflict
**** Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present)
In "Wars (1,000–9,999 combat-related deaths in current or previous year)" section, remove the row starting with:
* Israeli–Lebanese conflict
** Hezbollah–Israel conflict
*** Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present)
Change the Cumulative Fatalities entry for the Arab-Israeli conflict row, using the same source: https://www.systemicpeace.org/warlist/warlist.htm

message: While the edits were in good faith, there are several issues with the removal of all flags, the unlinking of all countries, and the listing of countries through commas. No other article does this. MOS:FLAG does NOT apply here, as this is a military article, and the flags both help the article visually and can help users distinguish between countries in ways outside their name. Also, the italics were on nations like Armenia and South Korea due to them being disputed states (which Illegitimate Barrister would've known had they read the CRITERIA "Italics indicate disputed territories and unrecognized states."). Then, the unlinking of countries to their respective articles is just kinda stupid, considering it makes it harder to find more info on the nations for people who aren't educated in the subject. Also, HARDLY ANY OTHER ARTICLE IS FORMATTED IN THIS FASHION. Look at most other lists around wikipedia. List of wars: 2003–present, Wikipedia:Unusual articles, and the majority of other military-related articles. All would break the MOS:FLAG according to IB's edits on this page. Also, it just looks so damn horrible. Someone, please revert the edits. I cannot do so as I am not extended confirmed. Or hell, even better, @Illegitimate Barrister themselves revert the edits.

replies: text: I agree the edits should be reverted. The flags are in line with other articles and standards. Possibly @Illegitimate Barrister removed the flags because the article is controversial, and MOS:FLAG states that flags may be removed in controversial artricles. However, in this case, the flags do not appear to be the controversial aspect of the article, and the change is now inconsistent with List of wars: 2003–present, as @IdioticAnarchist points out.

message: To preface, I do not think that there is an error, I do believe this is intentional, I just think it would be better done differently.
For the legend for the map:
Yellow is "Skirmishes and Clashes (1-99)"
Orange is "Minor conflicts (100-999)
Red is "Wars (1,000-9,999)"
Maroon is "Major wars (10,000 or more)"
Why does it take casualties as a measurement, and then apply a label to it? Wouldn't it make more sense for it to just be by casualties?
It seems to be overstating these conflicts, especially considering many conflicts throughout the past 20 years have had well over 100,000 casualties, and in the past 100 years many that have reached millions dead. I am not saying these ongoing ones are not still horrific losses of life, any death is terrible, but calling anything with at least 10,000 casualties a 'Major War' seems a bit strange when looking at the number of deaths of other wars in history.
Pretty much I just think the map and legend should be by casualties alone, without labels such as "Minor conflict" or "Major war" being applied.
If I'm missing something obvious, please do point it out, I just want to make Wikipedia better. Texinova (talk) 18:43, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
