message: Reccardow has moved the page: Libyan–Egyptian War>> Egyptian–Libyan Skirmishes. Does all that make it just skirmishes! Tension between the two countries had increased during April and May 1977 as demonstrators attacked the embassies of both countries. In June 1977, Libya's leader Muammar al-Gaddafi  ordered the 225,000 Egyptians working and living in Libya to leave the country by July 1 or face . On July 21, 1977  between troops on the border began, followed by  on both sides. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 08:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Seems to me that the whole section has a lot of strange grammar/syntax problems as well as POV issues in there, thoughts anyone? --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 11:10, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

The other thing is... how is an Air Force suppose to storm across the border to capture anything, let alone a town or a city? It wouldn't be an Air Force if it really did all those feats, eh? --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:23, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This was, from a neutral point of view, a crushing Egyptian victory. Not only were the Libyan invaders repulsed, but Egyptian troops also penetrated into Libya itself before ceasefire was reached. It makes no sense not including this in the infobox. --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 14:11, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "lack of response" is not valid, as long as there are no sources. Already discussed here and User:Tomandjerry211 agreed too. Not everyone has 24 hours to spend on here. Get sources if you claim victory. MapSGV (talk) 09:30, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: What exactly is your objection? We know that a) Libya invaded Sallum, b) Egypt repelled the invasion and c) Egypt was occupying Libyan territory when the ceasefire was called. Rather obvious case. --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 16:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  Ok, I think I've found the video: . It's a compilation of Associated Press footage from AP's official YouTube account. It mentions Libya's criticism of American arms sales to Egypt but I hardly think that point belongs in the lede. -Indy beetle (talk) 02:24, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

text: Think about who you believe to be the most authoritative sources - I believe Pollack, "Arabs at War," myself. Remember that propaganda and lying are widespread in the Arab world (as Pollack explains in Armies of Sand.

text: "Gaddafi was successful" in what context, and does that mean the state of Libya won a war? From I can tell the source says that as a result of the conflict Gadhafi succeeded in "further boosting his leadership within the regime itself and his leadership in [Libya]" while "Sadat did not manage to totally appease internal criticism in the context of social crisis, but he did gain ground". These are statements about personal political achievements, mostly domestic too. Volodymyr Zelenskyy's political legitimacy in Ukraine and the international sphere skyrocketed after his country didn't cave in entirely to a Russian invasion over the span of several months. That doesn't mean Ukraine won the war (still ongoing), does it? I'm not seeing where this source makes a direct claim about Libya "winning the war". -Indy beetle (talk) 09:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
