Either way you look at it, the Algerian war involved Algeria. Either the FLN represents Algeria, or the French government; in either case, Algeria was involved. To put it another way, it was either a civil war/insurgency, or an independence struggle; but Algeria was still involved. There is no way to spin this to argue that Algeria was not a part of the Algerian war. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 07:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
@ Mikrobølgeovn: I reverted the result of the Algerian War to the previous version which reflects what the sources say. However, should a one word parameter be necessary, I have one in mind and tons of sources to back it up. I'll be more than happy to include it, or if you wish, discuss the matter further.
This is a list of wars involving Algeria, as such, it should include the Western Sahara War, regardless of how or how many times Algeria was "involved" (that matter, just like for the October War, is discussed in details in the concerned article). Besides, it's properly sourced.

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 List of wars involving Algeria'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.

Over the last month, this article has been changed to fit biased nationalistic narratives. Several wars were removed, the results of several wars were changed, and several wars with no relation to Algeria were added. Here is a list of these things that i noticed (there may be even more)
I have no idea how this has been going on for so long. Any attempts at changing the article were quickly removed by several users, some in a matter of minutes. This is a blatant breach of Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. Whatever748 ( talk) 10:42, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @ El C:,
The name «Algeria» comes from the name of the city of Algiers. The name «Algiers» derives from the Catalan Aljer, himself taken from Djezaïr, name given by Bologhine ibn Ziri, son of Ziri Ibn Menad founder of the Berber dynasty of the Zirids, when he built the city in 960 on the ruins of the ancient city with the Roman name Icosium, Djaza'ir Beni Mezghenna Source : Modern Algeria: The origins and development of a nation by John Douglas Ruedy, historian specializing in the history of Algeria

complete and specific description of the request- along the lines of "Change X to Y" or "Insert P after Q". Note, this article is mostly a list of things that points to other articles, it is not itself a discussion of the etymology of the name of that country, which is available on this page: Algeria#Etymology. — xaosflux Talk 12:53, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
