Support Box
editWhy is the UK listed? The Box should only be kept with the 3 powers, Soviets, US and Chinese. The UK i understand were selling weapons to both India and Pakistan, it did not support a party against another, certainly not Pakistan against its own insurgency either. I don't think mere sale of weapons was this particular article's rule precedent policy for listing a country in the support by section. RevolutionaryPatriot (talk) 19:25, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
Air supremacy-Fix sentence structure
editThis is an overly complex sentence that incorrectly states that Pakistan achieved air supremacy before surrender: "The subsequent Indo-Pakistani War involved fighting on two fronts; with air supremacy achieved in the eastern theatre, and the rapid advance of the Allied Forces of Mukti Bahini and the Indian military, Pakistan surrendered in Dhaka on 16 December 1971, in what remains to date the largest surrender of armed personnel since the Second World War."
Minimal change suggestion: "The subsequent Indo-Pakistani War involved fighting on two fronts. With air supremacy achieved in the eastern theatre, the Allied Forces of Mukti Bahini and the Indian military rapidly advanced. Pakistan surrendered in Dhaka on 16 December 1971, in what remains to date the largest surrender of armed personnel since the Second World War." Dunnpm (talk) 12:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am nor sure it does, it does not say who didi, (I assume it was India, which needs to be clarified). Slatersteven (talk) 12:37, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Source [19] should be deleted. It's just a copy of an old version this very Wikipedia article. It also doesn't even back the sentence that is citing it.

Done. Thanks, Bitspectator, the high commission webpage is a copy of the lead of this article circa October 2019. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:36, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

edit@Orientls, @Ratnahastin can you both please explain me where do my edits look controversial?? Is adding missing items controversial?? I just wanted to improve the infobox in light of Israel–Hamas War & Irish War of Independence and added the names of some missing leaders. Ahammed Saad (talk) 07:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

- @Ahammed Saad: I haven't examined at the edits in question, but a common mistake is trying to cram too much information into the infobox, which defeats its purpose as a high level summary of the article. Template:Infobox military conflict/doc says the infobox shouldn't contain material not present in the article, which the current list of commanders already violates. It also says, "For wars, only prominent or notable leaders should be listed, with an upper limit of about seven per combatant column recommended. Ranks and position titles should be omitted." That's two more ways in which the current list deviates from convention. "Adding missing items" could be controversial if it makes the above violations even greater. See Help:Infobox for more information.
- If you think your edits are in line with guidelines, the best way to gain consensus for them would be to break them into easy to understand groups of changes (like changes you want to make to the commanders section). For each batch, show the before and after versions side by side on this talk page, and explain why it's an improvement in terms of policies and guidelines. Comparisons with other articles can be drawn, but I recommend using only featured articles as examples, since there's no guarantee that any random article follows Wikipedia's rules any better than this article. --Worldbruce (talk) 13:14, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
