Talk:List of number of conflicts per year

Lack of information

I have checked on UCDP's website to see if there was any new data for 2014, which could be contributed to updating the page. Unfortunately it seems that UCDP have stopped updating their website as there is no new data for this year and it is now 2015, therefore this article will be hard to update. Any suggestions on how to progress with this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.83.173 (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned references in List of number of conflicts per year

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 number of conflicts per year'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.

Reference named "auto":

• From Libyan Civil War (2014–present): "Libya names anti-Islamist General Haftar as army chief". BBC News. 2 March 2015.
• From Pakistan: "Pakistan Overview". worldbank.org.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:31, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Are casualty figures really necessary?

I don't think that adding a casualty figure in every year is necessary since we won't have a casualty figure for each conflict. I suggest removing it and keeping the list only with the conflicts. Comment with Support and Oppose --Bolter21 (talk to me) 19:15, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

What do you mean? You mean before 2013? That's true that information are partial. Maybe a comment would be necessary to give guidelines? Wykx 22:38, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Without the ambigues casualty figure, I could easly make this list go back to 1950. There is no source for the casualties of each year of a conflict.. If we remove this figure, the list could be finished. This list is unexpendable. --Bolter21 (talk to me) 15:42, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I may have not understood. Concretely, you mean we should remove some years? add some years? add/remove some columns? It is not that I contest and probably I agree with you... it is that I have done understood what you suggest! Wykx 16:16, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Yea I had a misunderstanding... anyway my suggestion is to remove all fatalitiy figures from this list and replace the columns of 10,000+ and 1000+ and just list all of the year's ongoing conflicts in one column, maybe sorting them by continent, but before doing that, first I think we should give up the fatalitiy figures cause it lacks sources and we can't complete the list cause of that.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 18:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't you think it is more before 2012 that figures are lacking sources? Wykx 22:06, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

I think that the list should extend futher to 1900, so yes.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 11:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

OK before 2012. Wykx 11:14, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I am deeply confused now.. Do you agree that the list shouldn't include any casualty figures? Since the columns making the list in completable?--Bolter21 (talk to me) 13:08, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I had understood we could remove figures before 2012 and complete the list from 2012 and for next years. Wykx 13:13, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

I"ll split the list, to conflcits before and after 2012, for now, I just can't leave this list like that.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 13:23, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Sources for fatalities in armed conflicts each year are easily available: UCDP has data since 1989 (divided in 3 datasets), UCDP/PRIO since 1946 and COW since 1816 (even though in COW death tolls are given for the whole war and not for each year). Having data on fatalities (at least the columns of 10,000+ and 1,000+) is very useful, since armed conflicts with fewer than 1,000 fatalites each year are very numerous, but not so important, and therefore can be left out in this list.

I created a draft in my sandbox.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 14:29, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

If we don't have figures, wouldn't it be redundant with lists included in Template:Lists_of_wars_by_date ? Wykx 15:05, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your work, but I think the problem with only one "conflicts" column is that it lists too many conflicts without distinguishing between major and minor ones. Using UCDP, you can easily identify conflicts with more than 1,000 battle-deaths (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Yemen; plus, using other sources, at least Iraq, Syria and Mexico), and I think it would be more useful to list only those conflicts in the 10,000+ and 1,000+ columns. In this way, one can see the most important conflicts and compare the number of major conflicts each year. Nykterinos (talk) 15:06, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

No objection to that, but a different name needs to be chosen for the article. For example, List of yearly casualties in wars" ("wars" insteed of "conflicts" indicates that those are significant conflicts, as you say--Bolter21 (talk to me) 18:27, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Kivu conflict?

So, according to the 2014-2017 figures, DR Congo is in a state of war per the definition used in the article. But for some reason this is not reflect in the list of conflicts, i.e. no mention of the Kivu conflict among others in 2014-2017. Shouldn't Kivu conflict be added to these lists?
