Found this while patrolling. I can't find references to an "Anglo-Turkish War" using basic google searches, which seems odd given the scale of this article and the large countries involved? I am also wary that this might be a WP:FORK of Turkish War of Independence, which is an article with neutrality issues. Therefore I bring it here for your consideration. thanks.

I would also appreciated any views on whether this should be a standalone article. thanks. Aszx5000 ( talk) 15:17, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

hey all, I've noticed a bunch of new articles from MWQs that are full of synth and are extreme violations of WP:NPOV.
This one, that I nominated for deletion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Executions and assassinations in the West Bank and Jerusalem, pushes a martyrdom POV and contains Jesus and Eichmann and Jewish and Palestinian terrorists in the same list; it's language is like that: "An eye for an eye", "King of Martyrs", "he refused to commit sin unto the point of shedding blood", "The Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa", "prominent militant".
Other articles by this user are also problematic: The killing of the wife, daughter, and infant son of Mohammed Deif fails to mention the reason of the attack, and it reads like "IDF just attacked a random house of an innocent Deif". It can be notable, but it should at least be moved to "Deif family massacre" or something similar. It also has the same NPOV problem: "her previous husband was a martyred Qassami fighter", "high-ranking members of so called "terrorist" organisations".
Executions and assassinations during the Israel–Hamas war, Death of Mahmoud Eshtewi, Extrajudicial killings in the Gaza Strip can have the same problems.
Any comments from MWQs or military history experts? Artem.G ( talk) 18:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Can anyone who knows how to draw up a table point me to a to do page that shows how to make a grid, with small numbers in the top right hand corner of each square? Thanks Keith-264 ( talk) 15:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Does anyone know anything about this organization? The aims and goals are so obviously beneficial to the Soviet Union, I do wonder if there was any direct or indirect ties between them. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 20:57, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
I've just put Military dictatorship up for a peer review. Given the broad scope of the article, I'm hoping for as many different perspectives as possible. Thanks! Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 00:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
The primary point of contention is whether or not to include the
Moro Rebellion (1899-1913) within the article's info box. This placement expresses a view that the Philippine-American War did not in fact end with President Roosevelt's proclamation on July 4, 1902. It asserts the armed conflict, as a matter of fact, ended over a decade later. The single sentence in the article body used to justify the Moro Rebellion's info box inclusion asserts, "Some historians consider these unofficial extensions to be part of the war." The opposing revisions can be found
here and
here with related discussions
here,
here and
here.
What I care about primarily is whether or not info box inclusion of the Moro Rebellion, juxtaposed against the canonically recognized July, 4 1902 date, will prevent this article from being assessed GA, A and eventually FA. A decision needs to be made regarding a single date that caps the episode labeled "Philippine-American War", as a matter of fact. Any input and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After checking some recent edits and going through article histories, I noticed frequent, anonymous edits (mostly geolocated to Bắc Giang, Vietnam) that have added near-identical material to several related articles.
IPs used:
These edits have some common characteristics: they cite speculative or unreliable sources, falsify a cited source, inject discussion of logistics and cost-effectiveness into a discussion about vulnerability to ammunition cook-off, or make claims about Western tank designs that are either unsourced or close to tautologically obvious. The net effect on the article is also similar: the relative vulnerability of Soviet/Russian tanks to catastrophic ammunition explosions, as compared to Western tanks, is minimized or justified in terms of design trade-offs; the effectiveness of the 9M133 Kornet anti-tank missile and other Soviet/Russian weapons is emphasized. (Another trait of the editor(s) in question is edits to Recognition of same-sex unions in Vietnam and articles on battles involving Soviet forces in World War II.) To be clear, I think an analysis of tank design choices would be good to have on this encyclopedia, but it would need to be properly sourced and appropriately placed, instead of being spammed across multiple articles. As far as I can tell, members of this project, including me, have either reverted or pared down these edits wherever we have found them. Who else has encountered this, and has anyone tried to reach out to the editor(s) involved, to discuss how their contributions could be improved? Huntthetroll ( talk) 23:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
I haven't added coordinates for the recent revision and expansions I've undertaken and wonder if anyone can suggest a generic one for the route. Murmansk might suit but it is the terminus, perhaps it would be better to pick somewhere half-way there? Thanks Keith-264 ( talk) 10:30, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
I worked out the coordinates of the engagement then found that it was in Slovenia, rather than the Bay of Biscay.... Does anyone know where I can get the real coords? Thanks Keith-264 ( talk) 17:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Are rocket projectiles (as well as mortars) 'ballistic artillery'?
