Talk:List of military engagements of World War II

message: : There are rare instances when editing a talk page is a necessity; this is one of them. I have replaced all links to "List of World War II theaters and campaigns" with a link to the page it moved to: List of theaters and campaigns of World War II, to eliminate double-redirects.

message: I removed the following because it is an unsourced POV:
:However, use of the terms in naming such events is not consistent. For example, the Battle of the Atlantic was more or less an entire theatre of war, and the so-called battle lasted for the duration of the entire war. Another misnomer is the Battle of Britain, which by all rights should be considered a campaign, not a mere battle.
It should only be reinstated if there is a source to justify it. The RAF define the Battle of Britain as a Battle honour and the Royal Navy call it the Battle of the Atlantic. As a general rule it is the Americans who defined geographic theatres in World War II (see Theater (warfare)) --Philip Baird Shearer 18:28, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I have just removed the section which was a cut and past of List of theaters and campaigns of World War II. This article is already too large (more than 35K ?). It would be better if it was a list of lists rather than one big list. For example when
From Talk:List of theaters and campaigns of World War II#I strongly suggest a merge...:
:I am against this one article [(List_of_military_engagements_of_World_War_II)]  in the shape it is in because it is already warns at the top of an edit "This page is 39 kilobytes long.

:The page List of military engagements of World War II could become an overview like North African Campaign or the Middle East Campaign and be a useful page by giving a brief overview after a link to the main list covering a particular area.  But lumping all the information into one large page is not the way to go. Philip Baird Shearer 22:43, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I noticed an error on the page,  the Battle of Singapore is put under 1941, however on the battle of singapore page it is dated February 1942.  one of the two pages must be incorrect.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zimmer173 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The last battle of ww2 in Europe is the Battle of Odzak Between Yugoslav partisans and HOS (Croatian Armed Forces) from 19. april to 25. may 1945. 
And not the Battle of Poljana from 14. to 15. may. 1945.
So I edited it

thread_title:  Last battle of ww2 in Europe!!! 

message: I don't know how to do this, so I ask others to do it for me. I think the search term "List of battles in World War 2" should link to this page, as I find "Military Engagements" harder to remember than "Battles".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.103.198.253 (talk) 15:20, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
