@ Applodion I'll accept that I may have made a mistake for what is and isn't Operation Sunset. But for one: "Air battles in February 1999" is still a vague, uninformative title, and for another, "February 1999" does not explain how and to what extent this Operation Sunset overlaps with that.
The battle timescale offered in the article is February 21 to February 26; however, an Ethiopian government spokesperson told The Guardian that Operation Sunset happened between February 23 and February 26, and BBC News said on March 2, 1999: "News of the success of Ethiopia's Operation Sunset offensive in the western Badme region was greeted in the capital with a sense of satisfaction, rather than jubilation."
Based on info like this, I don't think my decision to move this page to "Operation Sunset" came totally out of nowhere. XTheBedrockX ( talk) 22:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to February 1999 Eritrean–Ethiopian aerial clashes. ( closed by non-admin page mover) The Night Watch (talk) 21:57, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Air battles in February 1999 → February 1999 Ethiopian–Eritrean aerial clashes – Way too general title. Super Dromaeosaurus ( talk) 21:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
