Talk:War on terror

End of the war on terror?

As the lead states backed up by sources, the "war on terror" is not a conventional war but a series of efforts to combat terrorism. So how exactly do we define the end of this then? The date still says 15 Sep 2001-present, but it's clear to me that something at least needs to change. Obama himself officially declared the GWOT over in 2013 which is more official than anything saying the "war on terror" is ongoing since 2001.

What do other people think? WR 19:59, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The "end" point can be in 2013, or after Biden withdrew from Afghanistan. After major withdrawals from the Middle East, it definitely isn't ongoing in any real sense — no more than the US is still in the Age of Imperialism with Latin America, for example. 136.167.247.40 (talk) 02:05, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Slatersteven: My text names the specific government, a specific body of that said government, the specific type of threat and the source names specific agents which are of concern. The source is certainly WP:RS. I did not name the specific agents because that would probably be excessive detail because there are several. Invasive Spices (talk) 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Maybe, but this article is about "the war on terror" and not terrorism. Does the source link it explicitly to the war on terror? Slatersteven (talk) 14:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

It does. Note the extensive use of Crutchley "Agroterrorism: Where are we in the ongoing war on terrorism?"[1] — Invasive Spices (talk) 9 December 2022 (UTC)

That is not the source you used. Slatersteven (talk) 17:47, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

It is cited by the source I did provide. Therefore it was provided in my edit. It is incumbent upon me to provide Annika then after that I have fulfilled my part. It is then incumbent upon you to read Annika before reverting. Invasive Spices (talk) 9 December 2022 (UTC)

No (please read wp:v) the source you cote has to say it. Slatersteven (talk) 09:07, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Please explain what you think the source does not say. Invasive Spices (talk) 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Aocloyalist: Why remove these? Invasive Spices (talk) 21 December 2022 (UTC)

MNNAs are another thing

Major non-NATO allies they are something else and have nothing to do with this. Many of them never even sent troops and never made official support to the War on Terror. For example, countries such as Argentina never fighted in this war. And, by the way, we also need to cite sources supporting that. If we include MNNAs, we also need to include all NATO global partners. Henderson Grumicker (talk) 18:25, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

And no other version of Wikipedia (none in other languages) places countries in this article even without having participated. No other Wikipedia put Argentina on this list and without sources. --Henderson Grumicker (talk) 00:50, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Okay I understand that but I disagree with you due to war on terror and Argentinas supportive actions in the war on terror as a major non-nato ally also you cannot just go and revert the edits until we come to some type of situation and if I am being honest it seems that you have some poltiocal motivation behind these edits due to some of your previous edits. You also cannot use IP address to back up your point to make it seem like you have more people supporting you then you do WP:SOCKPUPPET. DiSantis19 (talk) 01:16, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I had mistakenly used the IP without my main account... Now, by another part, Colombia is also "NATO global partner", an superior status to Argentina, and they participated in the Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa, while Argentina did not even participated in that operation. Just view and read each of the articles about battles that are part of the so-called "War On Terror": Argentina does not appear in any of them. ——Henderson Grumicker; 03:13, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

In the first sentence of the lede, change the "is" to "was," as the infobox has an end date of 2021. For conformity. 2601:85:C100:46C0:456E:4EAE:503E:6EA1 (talk) 23:18, 1 May 2023 (UTC) 2601:85:C100:46C0:456E:4EAE:503E:6EA1 (talk) 23:18, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
