Main Headline

How is it that the first sentence, along with every dictionary I can find, says "war is armed conflict..." but the main Title (whatever that is called) doesn't include the word "armed?"

The word "armed" seems to be universally accepted everywhere but here for War.

What do you mean by title? The article is entitled "War" and the statement is in the lead sentence.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for external link

Hello, I read the warning under the external links section and I would like to add a link to a podcast from 2003 which discusses the art of war. It is from the BBC's In Our Time radio broadcast, goes for 45 minutes, and features the British academics Simon Schaffer, Angie Hobbes and Jeremy Black. This program has high academic credibility, is suitable for the well-informed listener, and is highly relevant to the general nature of this article. This is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00548zm. Thank you.

Possible move

"War" is too simple a title for this article. Should this article be called Military engagement or something more complex? AprilShowersBringMayFlowers (talk) 21:50, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
