Talk:Iran–Iraq War

message: , your edit here is contrary to MOS:MIL (see the bit about infoboxes), which gives voice to the template documentation about the result parameter (see Template:Infobox military conflict). I would suggest you read the two linked pages and revert your edit as it is against the broader consensus expressed in those links. Cinderella157 (talk) 04:13, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Result in infobox 

message: Shouldn't it be "Iraq-Iran War" instead? Iraq started the war, thus the war should be called "Iraq-Iran War". Romanshein (talk) 05:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why is it called "Iran–Iraq War"? 

message: I deleted the weapons section here with the edit summary: . This was reverted by  here with the edit summary:  To answer the question, I am perfectly serious. There is not a single source and WP:BURDEN applies. The section consists solely of a table that is a mass of links. There is no prose that would indicate why this might be of value such as an analysis by sources of the relative armories.  This type of data dump probably falls under WP:NOTEVERYTHING. It is certainly not a section that would appear in our better quality articles. WP:P&G does not support the inclusion of this section. Consequently, characterising my edit as vandalism probably wasn't appropriate. Cinderella157 (talk) 10:36, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

message: It needs tó metion in the infobox hlé Both sides claimed victory. Blackmamba31248 (talk) 00:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Per MOS:MIL and the template documentation, such nuance is not for the infobox but for the lead and the body of the article. Cinderella157 (talk) 02:33, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing 

message: Hi @Cinderella157. "Casualties and losses" sub-section of the infobox is quite confusing. There is no row on "total deaths" in the infobox.
According to Britannica Encyclopaedia and History.com, the total number of deaths that occurred as a result of this war is approximately 500,000. Dilip Hiro wrote in his book "The Longest War: The Iran–Iraq Military Conflict" (which is referenced in the "military dead" columns in the "Casualties and losses" sub-section of the infobox):
I couldnt verify information from the other sources, but probably there is a heavy over-estimation in the "Military dead" columns. It appears as if the contents are not summarized properly in the infobox. Shadowwarrior8 (talk) 18:51, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Estimates of total deaths and casualties 

message: In other infoboxes for war articles, there is usually a list of nations which supported each side. Why is this missing? These are countries which supply weapons, logistical support, raw materials, capital, and other resources without deploying its own troops to join the fight. Could someone add this? The main players can be found in the main text of the article. Thank you.66.91.36.8 (talk) 06:33, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
