the article mentions that there were reports about the killing of some soviet advisers, but it does not mention on which side they were. soviet advisers were expelled from egypt several years before the war, and i never heard that libya ever used them.

Why not just Egyptian-Libyan War? This way it will be in alphabetical order. âPreceding unsigned comment added by 173.54.203.249 ( talk) 03:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Aktually the Libyans used plenty Soviet advisors. About deaths in this Egypt Libya border conflict read a quick summary here http://www.historyguy.com/egypt_libya_war_1977.htm
Libya and Qhadaffi also saw dead Soviet advisors in their conflict with Chad. For that see Itamar Rabinovich, Haim Shaked - 1989 49.176.98.80 ( talk) âPreceding undated comment added 11:45, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Reccardow has moved the page: LibyanâEgyptian War>> EgyptianâLibyan 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 arrest. On July 21, 1977 gun battles between troops on the border began, followed by land and air attacks on both sides. -- Mahmudmasri ( talk) 08:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
For reviewing Admins and editors alike, please note of LibyanâEgyptian War#Sequence of operations:
A "march on Cairo" was organized with thousands of Libyan protesters marching towards the Egyptian border in June 1977. The Libyans wanted to demonstrate against the increasing likelihood that Egypt would enter into a peace treaty with Israel. On July 20, 1977 Libyan artillery units fired at the Egyptians in Sallum, after the protest march was stopped by Egyptian border guards.
On July 21, Libyan forces carried out a raid against Sallum, similar to another raid conducted on July 19. The raid was carried out by the 9th Tank Battalion and supported by a few Mirage 5 aircraft. The Libyans were expecting no more than a prolonged exchange of fire with the Egyptians.
Sadat and his Generals ordered 3 fully-powered Divisions to head to the Libyan border when the news of advancing Libyan tanks came to them. The three divisions quickly smashed into the Libyan brigades and destroyed most, if not, all of their equipment. The Egyptian Air Forces did not fail during the many air battles it had with the Libyan Air Force. After the Libyans were demoralized, the Egyptian Air Force and 3 Divisions of the Egyptian Army stormed across the Libyan Border and captured some key border towns. The Egyptian Air Force Bombed nearly every city, town, airbase and military base in the area. Other Arab nations pleaded and begged Sadat not to launch a full scale invasion of Libya (which Sadat and his Generals planned on doing on the 26th). Sadat headed with their words and forced Libya into a ceasefire. The Egyptian Army then withdrew from the captured land.
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 â âŁâĽâŚâ˘â1185ŠâŞâŤÂŽ 11:10, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

I was asked in my talk to have a look at this article. I immediately see that it is pretty badly-written and there has been an edit-war recently. Could editors discuss here towards a compromise on the sourcing issue? I can have a look at the other issues; once article stability has been attained we can clean up the writing a bit. -- John ( talk) 12:24, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

"lack of response" is not valid, as long as there are no sources. Already discussed here [1] 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)
It amazes me how new users solely devoted to change the rather obvious outcome of this conflict without really making an argument, has become a recurring theme. The article states (and I copy this from above) that a) Libya invaded Sallum, b) Egypt repelled the invasion and c) Egypt was occupying Libyan territory when the ceasefire was called. I fail to see the rationale behind doubting this was an Egyptian victory, not to mention removing a source directly stating that Gaddafi gave up on his war goal. And he initiated this war with very specific (and foolhardy) aims. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 21:33, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
