omitions

There are several omitions in this list. Conflicts that are considered wars but are actually civil wars. Like the Korean War, for example, and to some extent the Vietnam War.

Also, other civil wars should be on the list, like the Uruguay Civil War, (or Guerra Grande), or the Argentinean Civi War, (between the Unitarios and Federales), just to name two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.127.83.235 (talk) 23:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Topics from 2009

Moved Latin to bottom

17-Jan-2009: I have moved the Latin phrases to the bottom, under heading "Other". By far, any German language titles would be more common for English consideration, but even German is not English, so such translations should go to the bottom. However, if there were an uber-famous Latin title, known for centuries as "Civil War", then that might get top billing. Otherwise, putting the Latin at the top seems like POV pushing to avoid English meanings of "civil war". -Wikid77 (talk) 10:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalized word: List

17-Jan-2009: I have capitalized the title "List of civil wars". When using the word "See" to link an article, the text that follows is the article title, not a lowercase wikilink. It also helps to add a colon, as "See:" versus "See what I mean". Technically, a title of an article should be in quotation marks, but this style is rarely used, in the format:

See "List of civil wars".

Instead, adding a colon helps indicate a title will follow:

See: List of civil wars.

Many people omit the colon (as just "see") with the implication that the word "see" might be used to introduce an article-link or some other connection, depending on the particular situation, which could be confusing for the readers:

See your local library, for those books.
See: Your local library.

In the 2nd instance, "Your local library" is the title of an article. Also consider:

See: Plutarch's Lives.

The title "Lives" is the common name given to Plutarch's books about biographies of notable people.

Although, technically, a title of an article should be in quotation marks, the visual problem has been excessive use of quotation marks, similar to over-emphasizing: "everything" that is intended as an "article title" should not be "quoted" by itself ("per se") because the text can become "over-quoted" by just "too many" quotemarks like "some people" with "obsessive compulsive disorder" or "OCD". Because of that problem of excessive quotation marks, it is simpler to just add a single colon (as with using "See:") to indicate that the text afterward is to be read literally, as a title. That colon-style can be extended to similar situations, as follows, for the film: X-men, the talk-page: Talk:Hyperlink, or the word: List.

For those reasons, the style was changed to display "See: List of civil wars". -Wikid77 (talk) 10:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the civil war

The Civil War was about the north and the south fighting for their country...The south wanted to become their own country while the north wanted to become one country with the south..The north ened up winning and the slaves at the time were freed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.30.3.1 (talk) 02:33, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
