thread_title: Day one

message: Israel surely had a tactical victory, but some are claiming Hezbollah had a strategic victory. I would be interested to see if anyone has any oppinions on this? ~Rangeley (talk) 21:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That would be a discussion of the war itself, I am talking about this particular offensive, which was done as a mad rush to do as much as possible before the ceasefire. It is a tactical victory because Israel wasnt beaten back by hezbollah and gained territory on the battlefield. ~Rangeley (talk) 15:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

text: A tactical victory is "a success in battle without substantive or long-lasting gain." I think that that applies to this. Saying its a tactical victory doesnt imply they acheived all goals, but instead came out on top. ~Rangeley (talk) 15:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

text: When one side gains territory on the battlefield and is not pushed back, its still a victory. To the extreme extent, when one side gains territory but at a very high cost, its called a Pyrrhic victory. Such as the Battle of Thermopylae, which despite the high cost was still a Persian victory. This offensive wasnt such a high cost so as to call it Pyhric, but it certainly wasnt a big one either, hence the "tactical victory." ~Rangeley (talk) 14:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: File:Hezbollah flag.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Operation Changing Direction 11's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "CNN-08-16":
From Timeline of the 2006 Lebanon War (mid August):  
From United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701:  
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:34, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Operation Changing Direction 11]] 

message: No big deal but I think this article should be named "Operation change of direction 11" instead of its present title "Operation changing direction 11". The former being more active in tone. I think it's a better translation of its original Hebrew name. Though my Hebrew is far from perfect.
Also I have proposed here that this article Battle of Wadi Saluki should be deleted as being both awful and redundant. This battle is already covered in this article.
Any objections?

thread_title: Change the name of the article?

message: I am reverting recent disruptive edits made by Avaya1 (talk) on this and several other Wikipedia articles. 
Avaya1 made 5 massive changes in 7 minutes to 2006 Lebanon War, then spent 2 minutes making changes on Operation Change of Direction 11, 1 minute on Battle of Bint Jbeil and a further 2 minutes on Battle of Ayta ash-Shab. 
The changes were whole-sale deletions of all the additions made after a particular date, selected for unclear reasons. Some of the changes he deleted had been agreed upon by other editors in talk page discussions. A lot of well-sourced material has been deleted. In the case of Battle of Bint Jbeil meticulously added references has been deleted and replaced with .
None of the changes were explained in summaries or in talkpages. Avaya1 has previously made intermittent contributions to 2006 Lebanon War but has not previously been involved in the editing of the other articles.
Any well-sourced addition to this article is welcome as are deletions if they are clearly explained in the talkpage. I return the page to where it was before Avaya1's deletions.
