Color legend

Sikandar khan67, the color legend depicts the aggressor, the iniator of the conflict. For good reason. Please do not change it without reaching CONSENSUS here. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:38, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you giving importance to coloring aggressor rather than coloring the result? Melechha2 (talk) 23:28, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hindu-Muslim conflict?

Pinging few people here. @Asilvering @Gog the Mild @Hawkeye7 @Sitush @Slatersteven I'd like to discuss my concerns about the article on "Hindu-Muslim conflicts." In my opinion, the article seems unnecessary as there are already numerous resources covering historical conflicts between these communities. Currently, the article lacks descriptive content, providing only a table with details on belligerents, dates, and results. This approach seems inadequate for such a sensitive topic that holds significant global importance.

Recently, I've noticed various groups on social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc., creating edit videos that celebrate communal, regional, or ethnic conflicts. Some of these edits have made their way to Wikipedia through talk page comments. I fear that if we don't address the content of this article, it could lead to ongoing edit wars. Moreover, the title itself may contribute to sparking communal tensions.

I find it surprising and concerning to encounter an article presented in this manner. If my perspective is misguided, I am open to being corrected and apologize for any inconvenience. I encourage others to share their thoughts on this matter.Imperial ^[AFCND] 18:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging in a couple of MilHist inclined admins: Harrias, Peacemaker67. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:09, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I find this list worrying as well. I'm not a topic expert but it doesn't take a topic expert to look at this list and think this is a poor way of dealing with a sensitive issue. I went looking for an example of how other similarly sensitive issues have been dealt with as lists on Wikipedia and came across List of wars involving Israel. That article appears to me both more informative and less designed to be inflammatory. Crucially, it also has a different scope: it's about wars involving a particular state. For that sort of thing in India, we already have, for example, List of wars involving the Mughal Empire. I think this should probably go to AfD for a broader consensus. I'd wait for someone who's done more milhist articles in contentious topic areas to weigh in, though. -- asilvering (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding that in India, we have Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent, List of wars involving India, List of wars involving Bengal, List of wars involving Delhi Sultanate, Umayyad campaigns in India (list is present), Ghaznavid campaigns in India (list is present), Indian campaigns of Muhammad of Ghor (list is present) etc. As I can see, even skirmishes are present in the current list of the current article, where there are sources where both sides claims victory. I can already sense a lead for edit warring due to the edit made by a recently by an editor.Imperial ^[AFCND] 01:35, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chandelas become vassal ?

Not an editor but when did chandelas became a vassal of muslims? The confrontation between chandelas and muslims happened but it was indecisive according to every source available including the main articles available on Wikipedia itself, the siege of kalinjar by muslims wasn't successful as the muslims returned with elephants and gave forts in return to chandelas, anyone can check any historical source available, the whole article is filled with misinformation, kindly correct it. 117.219.165.72 (talk) 23:09, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
