Name

I realize this article probably needs a more NPOV name. Suggestions, anyone? --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 01:34, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mikrobølgeovn: G'day Mikrobølgeovn some media's called the conflict "Anglophone Crisis" [1],[2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] and more. Maybe that is more neutral name. CPA-5 (talk) 12:46, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also saw "Coffin Revolution" somewhere, though I can't figure out where. I just hope we can avoid a made-up name like "Insurgency in Southern Cameroons (2017-present)". I'm fine with Anglophone Crisis, although this is moving in the direction of a full-blown war of independence. By the way, I very much doubt that my writing is neutral, and I hope others will get involved with this article. Best, --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 15:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, we indeed could make a made-up name like "Insurgency in Southern Cameroons (2017-present)". However the media call the conflict the "Anglophone Crisis" so it have already a name now. Plus about the "Coffin Revolution" i think they mean about the protests way before the conflict start in 2016 and 2017 which became violent and armed. Cheers.

Done! :) --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:01, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Anglophone Crisis seems fine for now, since that is what several English language sources are calling it.XavierGreen (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

War crimes section

I'm skeptical of this section in its current form as it is heavily biased. A complete list of attrocities would be one thing, but as of right now it's just cherry-picking a couple of incident out of many. I think we need more information before we can write that chapter, and when we do, it should focus on both sides. --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 10:05, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I strongly disagree, on the basis that this article is about the military conflict, while 2016–2017 Cameroonian protests is - as the name states - about the preceding protests. We can have a chapter about the protests in the "background" section, but the articles address two distinct subjects and should be kept separate. --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 16:20, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article on the protests states that the event is "ongoing" and this article on the crisis does not mention background and causes. I think it would be better if both were fused. Lord Mota (talk) 23:00, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
