I wrote this on Talk:List of battles, copying it here too:
There are a lot of wars listed here. IMHO these should be removed. Surely there are famous battles in these wars we could list instead? Same thing for all the "Operations". -- Jniemenmaa 10:05, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)
Need to add: ~1979, Iraq invasion of Iran, war that followed
How about some of the South American wars or African wars GerardM 10:42, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Just for clarification im assuming this page and its like are for significant military actions that occured within the context of a pre-existing war/operation/taskforce. The battles that occured within Afghanistan for example should be included as well as a general listing for 'US invades Afghanistan'. I have included accidental incidents like Iran air 655 for those reasons, it was an intentional military act that occured under Operation Earnest Will.
The Battle of Bregalnica (pronounced Bregalnitsa) is missing. It was a decisive Serbian defensive victory in the Second Balkan War. The battle of Kalimantsi listed here was a minor and inconclusive engagement compared to this battle.
Battle for Australia??
editI don't understand why the Battle for Australia is not listed here, arguably one of the most important battles of the Pacific Theatre yet it's not even listed here? Is this list for real? Or is it just a joke?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.192.240 (talk) 06:28, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Beer Hall Putsch
editI believe that the Beer Hall Putsch does not qualify as a battle (combat in warfare). I will remove it. Any objections? --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 09:30, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
Seriously Underdeveloped and biased
edit1941-1945 reads like a US history book about the pacific war. There are hundreds of missing battles from the rest of the world. The definition of what is a "battle" is also unclear. Is an attack on a convoy really a "battle" -just because lots of Americans call it one? If every British Empire military action against the axis in Africa during the Second World War was a "battle" there would be another 300 entries. Lets not even get into the thousands of discrete battles between the USSR and Germany. Thoughts? Maybe introduce regional subgroups? Delete actions below a certain threshold based on personnel or length? --IseeEwe (talk) 01:17, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
