Infobox

The infobox recently added in the article is 1) unsuited for a series of (sometimes unrelated) conflicts and 2) a blatant WP:NPOV violation. Please self revert per WP:BRD and discuss instead of editwarring. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. An infobox of this kind is meant for one battle/one campaign. It is meaningless since its a summary/list. TG, go ahead & revert. AshLin (talk) 17:25, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If there is an infobox of War on Terror, then can't on it. Does not WP:BRD does not apply there, lTopGunl (talk).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jozoisis (talk • contribs)

Please read WP:BRD... it means when some one objects, then you need to come to the talk page and discuss those edits, if your edits stay it means there is a silent consensus. War on terror is a single war on the whole going on over a long duration. It's nothing more than 65 war having an infobox. In this case it is different, these conflicts are not all directly related even though 3 might be on Kashmir. And then adding Lashkar-e-Taiba etc in the infobox on Pakistan's side would be a blatant POV as those are only accusations. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your wiseness

User lTopGunl (talk) u are wise, this article is mainly about the armed engagements not on the other conflicts. In your heading of Other Conflicts, there are other military engagements.--Jozoisis (talk) 03:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the article title does not say it is only about the armed engagements, it is about all wars and conflicts. Conflicts here include the given topics. It is better suited to have a single article for such instead of having one for the wars and another for the conflicts. Infact this is rather a descriptive list. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

lTopGunl, In that case, may we add a few more paragraphs about the armed engagements? The way the article is currently organised, the plot does not get sufficient explanation. There has to be some clarity on the motives of each of the story elements. Satanclawz (talk) 16:03, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Social conflicts

Jozoisis, a good idea will be to add this [1] to India-Pakistan relations, Anti-Pakistan sentiment and Indophobia articles in the relevant sections. Your additions are good, but probably not for this article as it is about military conflicts and engagements. Maybe a bit of inline highlights in the introduction can still be due about social conflicts. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:25, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving

I think some of the threads have been missed in the archiving... please include those too. [2]. --lTopGunl (talk) 07:54, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indian media twisting words of Pakistan officials to show Pakistan as being soft? Current issues section of article

Pakistan has always stated that it can calmly without any issues continue to fight, as Pakistan has a population of 200 Million outnumbering the entire north west india bordering Pakistan and has enough ammunition to fight 3 years of protracted war non stop. However indian media has continuously covered the topic of Pakistan and the un probe as being soft. Whenever indian media asks the opinion of Pakistan governement on what should be done, they have replied that the un should be present to see who is violating the ceasefire. However indian media has taken this and seems to be twisting it to show Pakistan as being soft. At the same time neither has india taken a step forward and fires from where it stands and neither have they declared war on Pakistan. Perhaps this strange twisting of words of the indian media can be put in the current issues section of the article. Power of 200 Million (talk) 04:50, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
