:You are correct, we should probably mention that in the info box. [[Special:Contributions/165.234.101.99|165.234.101.99]] ([[User talk:165.234.101.99|talk]]) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC) |

Recommendation to reduce/merge content
This article has been tagged with a recommendation that it be considerably reduced. I think this can be done fairly easily by moving most of the content from Section 6 onwards into sub-articles or significantly reducing it.
However, the remaining content is still too wordy and the Lede remains too long, which means people won't read it. I can put a draft up but it needs to only include what is essential, not what would be nice. Robinvp11 (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Manpower
In the summary box it used to say how much manpower each nation had. Personally I thought that was useful information. I just wondered how come it got deleted. Firestar47 (talk) 11:27, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
Lead sentence revisited
Hello all
I'm sorry to reopen this so soon, but I missed the previous discussion on the lead sentence of this article, and would like to make a suggestion. @Thinker78 suggested I should start a new discussion here. In my experience, First World War is the most common term in Commonwealth countries, and World War I is the most common in the US. The following NGram shows that First World War is marginally the most common term in English worldwide.[1] So following MOS:BOLDSYN the lead sentence should be: World War I (WWI) (28 July 1914 – 11 November 1918), also known as the First World War...
This isn't cluttered or difficult to read, captures the two most important names for the conflict in English, and is the preferred form under policy. Would anyone object if this change were made? Thanks. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 01:02, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

when you press show under france it shows the countries of the british empire, shouldnt this be under british empire 2A00:23C5:348D:4301:8DD1:1F35:7CBC:9A0 (talk) 01:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- The "show" feature of the drop down box refers to the information below. So it correctly refers to the combatants fighting as part of the British Empire. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 02:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Not done: Seems to be a problem with template:clist. Don't think it can be fixed here. small jars

Oversimplification
@TheIranianSalafist simpler is not always better. This little footnote you put on the Ottoman sultan of "oh it's not only this guy, also this guy succeeded him" all because of your fixation on keeping it short makes it kind of ridiculous.
Also, I'm not sure how familiar you are with Ludendorff, but before tweaking around you should go read about him and his role in 1910s German politics. I didn't include him for potatoes. Synotia (moan) 15:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
1918
The section on 1918 makes no mention of Russia's exit from the war. This should be included. Firestar47 (talk) 22:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- You are correct, we should probably mention that in the info box. 165.234.101.99 (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Intro
Another point, I was reading the introduction and saw this: "Attempts to bypass the stalemate caused fighting to expand into the Middle East, the Alps, the Balkans and overseas colonies, bringing Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and others into the war." This sentence is factually wrong in numerous ways and really needs taking out. Firestar47 (talk) 22:30, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
