Talk:Timeline of the 2006 Lebanon War

message: I've changed the list of events to a tabular structure. I beleive it is easier to read this way. Any suggestions would be welcome. sikander 16:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, could we make the refs column dissapear so that we can cite next to the text? Nice work on the tables.--Infolabza 16:55, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmm, yes that would be more accurate. Ok, I've removed the sources column. sikander 17:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah, thanks. Also, would it be possible to make the individual days editable so that we don't have to step on each others toes (merge) editing the page?--Infolabza 17:15, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is also a good idea. I'll see what I can do. sikander 17:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Created different sections per date. However, had to remove the TOC. Maybe someone with more wiki editing knowledge can make the page have both a TOC and sections per date. sikander 18:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Page structure

message: Someone proposed a merge with 2006_Arab-Israeli_conflict, but gave no explanation here - care to elucidate? I think it helps to have the timeline separate (similar to the International_reaction_to_the_2006_Israel-Lebanon_crisis), because otherwise the main page (2006_Israel-Lebanon_crisis) gets way too busy. UltraNurd 23:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As per all of the comments above, I'm removing the merge notices. The 2006 Israel-Lebanon crisis article is on the home page, and already has an NPOV tag and current event tag. There's no need to keep the merge notice for an extended period of time. If anyone disagrees, note it on this talk page. ♠ SG →Talk 11:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge 

message: With the IDF part at the beginning of all tables, the reader may think that Israel initiated all of the events. I've moved the IDF actions to the end of the table on July 14 so that they wouldn't be first on all tables, which - although may make the Timeline somewhat easier to follow - would also make it appear as if Israel is responsible for everything. By the way, I am Israeli, but I believe my edit has an NPOV. Tamuz 19:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change order of July 14 table 

message: Does the bombing of the Palestinian foreign ministry building in Gaza City belong in an article about the Israel-Lebenon conflict?  How does a Palestinian building in Gaza relate to the Lebanon - Israel conflict?  This seems like it should be moved to another page that deals more with the entire Israel - (Arab/Palestinian/whomever) conflict instead of this page which is focused on the Israel - Lebanon aspect.  I did not remove the reference because I'm not a subject matter expert.  Any feedback on this would be great (and I may be off base with this thought, please just let me know).

thread_title:  World War III 

message: I am disputing this article for its (lack of) accuracy.  IMO, this article should be renamed to "Israel-Hezbollah conflict".  Hezbollah is not Lebanon and this article only discusses Hezbollah's actions against Israel.  Furthermore, what violence has the government of Lebanon sanctioned against Israel?  Lebanon has explicitly condemned the actions of Hezbollah. FightCancer 05:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wanting a name change doesn't warrant an accuracy tag. If you have any concerns about the accuracy of the contents, then the tag is justified, but otherwise, not. As for the name of the article, I suggest you take it up on the talk page for the parent, 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict. There's already been much discussion. --Iorek85 06:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I would recommend that the name of this article follows the name of the main article. --imi2 05:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Israel-Lebanon conflict"? 

message: Does anyone have information on number of Hezbollah rockets fired into Israel by day (for every day of the conflict?)  E.g., around 100 most days, I think there was 82 today (so far).  It might be interesting to look at the trend, esp. on how/if it changes as this unfortunate situation continues. TJ0513 23:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to fix as many of these citations as possible.  I'm only fixing the formatting, though.  Some of the citations may still be not-reliable, incorrect or otherwise in need of further reparation.  I may go back and re-fix some of them, but not today.  Anyone feel like taking a crack at it, I know I'd appreciate it, for one. -Zeno Izen 20:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: For instance, references #22, #23 and #24 all refer to a "timeline" at aljazeera.com, which is not a static news article, and probably not an appropriate reference for specific facts.  -Zeno Izen 21:05, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

text: * Fixed a few of the citations, just went into the articles listed in AlJazeera's Timeline, and cited the articles from there, most of the headlines had cites in there. -User:Sgiard 05:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources in lanugages other than English

message: The current page lists Hezbollah rocket attacks as the conflict trigger (being the first of listed events under the Hezbollah box section) and cites BBC as a source. However, http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/14/israel.lebanon.timeline/, http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/07/12/wednesday/index.html, http://www.infoplease.com/spot/lebanontime1.html, http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/middleeast/timeline_recent.html, http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-07-21-lebanon-israel_x.htm?csp=1, and http://myopr.com/articles/2006/07/22/news/local_state/news2.txt  all document Hezbollah rocket fire as a response to the navel blockade and subsequent bombing. I cannot, at all, find any source, other than the Israeli new source Harretz cited in the Wikipedia entry, that states the rocket attacks occurred simultaneously with the cross-border raid. More definitive data is need on the order of events for Wednesday, July 12. As I see it, the bullet points inside the Hezbollah box for July 12 should be reversed to reflect a more mainstream order of events.  Unless otherwise cited, the entry as it stands now is unreliable at best.
There is also a debate as to whether this was a cross-border raid at all. According to the Harretz source, cameras in the section of the border two Israeli soldiers were captured from were not yet installed. In addition, an editorial used as a source in the primary wiki on the conflict states that Hezbollah claims the Israeli patrol was on the Lebanese side of the border (http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HG15Ak02.html). While I do not suggest, at this time, the wording should be changed, we should watch the sources we use in the timeline to reflect only information that has been confirmed by more than one source. -Matt30 23:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Order of Events: July 12 

message: Why are deaths of Israelis described as "reported killed", while deaths of Lebanese are described as "killed"? Are the death reports of Israelis more questionable than the ones of Lebanese? (I would suggest the opposite, e.g., lebanese reports not mentioning Hizballa militants killed seperatly, but rather counting them as civilians - one of the benefits of being a guerilla organization, but let's leave this for now). This appears today (Aug 6), but might also appear on previous days. Eranb 20:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Killed" vs. "reported killed" 

message: "Israeli helicopters fired five shells at an administration building..."
"Shells" are generally used to refer to artillery. Helicopters cannot carry artillery. The helicopter fired missiles, or it fired rockets, or at most it fired "cannon shells", not just "shells" (which is highly unlikely given that only five were fired). This needs changing either to the correct weapon or to just say "fired at". BobThePirate 08:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Okey, so do You have an suggetion to how it can sound more neutral ? I think it's rather neutral, it lacks some information, but feel free to add any reference and text regarding the many casualties those first days of the conflict, nothing's stopping You, but have the references with in the text --imi2 05:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any good reason for this to use American Dating format rather than International Dating? Neither Israel nor Lebanon use American Dating and its use here is inappropriate. --Jumbo 23:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean August 1 instead of 1 August ? Want to change it ? I wont object to that, not to it staying the way it is either. The date format is of lesser importance than the information connected to thses dates in my view --imi2 23:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, that's great for editors, most of whom have accounts. But readers - you know, people actually using the Wikipedia for the purpose we intend it - won't, and therefore see the underlying date format. --Jumbo 10:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date format 

message: I am suggesting we merge the "Operations by date" with the Timeline of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict where it should be. There is no logical reason to divide the timelines into two separate pages, as timelines are precisely meant to be quick go to resources rather than prose explanations. 
We could do this either by moving the entire section here, or by putting the military operations information into the appropiate dates here. --Cerejota 10:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
