However, in the Yom Kippur War, Israel's victory was clear cut. Precluding this from the infobox constitutes a major error of omission. I share your opinion and favor placing "Israeli military victory" in the infobox and have done so but was reverted by the same editor who reverted your edit. I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment but clearly, the article requires a major overhaul, from start to finish. If you have a good in-depth knowledge of the Yom Kippur War and wish to collaborate with me on the subject, Please drop a message on my Talk page.--[[User:Jiujitsuguy|Jiujitsuguy]] ([[User talk:Jiujitsuguy|talk]]) 02:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC) |

:Thanks for responding. I couldn't agree with you more. I think we should begin with the Yom Kippur war. The article is heavily slanted in favor of a ficticious Egyptian perspective, utilizing Arabic and Russian sources (written in Arabic and Russian!). The article as it stands now is pure fantasy and is almost painful to read. I placed a notice at the top of the article stating that the sources were problematic. Unfortunately, the two antagonistic editors (sherif and RomaC) tag-teamed against me and reverted the notice on three occasions. Wiki policy regarding non-English sources is clear. They can be used only where English sources are not available. This not the case concerning the Yom Kippur War where there is a wealth of English sources - [[Zeev Schiff]], [[Edward Luttwak]], [[Martin van Creveld]] and [[Chaim Herzog]] just to name a few.--[[User:Jiujitsuguy|Jiujitsuguy]] ([[User talk:Jiujitsuguy|talk]]) 18:33, 28 December 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 18:33, 28 December 2009
Please do not appear suddenly and make contentious edits. You are a new user, are you? Shall I direct you to a new users' set of informational links? Glad to do so please advise. Warm Regards, RomaC (talk) 14:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much, but I think I have enough experience (I rarely make changes on the english wikipedia, I mostly work on the norwegian). Again, thank you :) --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 20:59, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Yom Kippur War
Hi Mikrobølgeovn,
I've recently reverted your edit to the Yom Kippur War article. I assume you did see the unmissable banner at the top stating there is a dispute over the article's neutrality. I also assume you're aware of the discussions going on surrounding the article. If not, these discussions are taking place at Talk:Yom Kippur War. Please do not perform edits in such manner as you did, but partake in discussion first. The reason the infobox is limited to Egypt, Syria and Iraq is explained in the talk page. Cheers :-) Sherif9282 (talk) 16:08, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Yom Kippur War and Lebanon War
Heyo. I noticed your recent edits and comments to the Second Lebanon War and the Yom Kippur War. I concur with you that both resulted in a tactical military victory for the IDF but more so with respect to the Yom Kippur War, where Egypt and Syria were decidedly defeated.
Some have argued that the results of the Second Lebanon War were somewhat inconclusive because Hezbollah succeeded in firing rocket salvos until the bitter end. While I agree that Israel scored a long-term strategic success in pushing Hezbollah from the border and in essence scored a military victory, there seems to be some controversy on the subject. Therefore, the issue would be better addressed in the prose under "reactions to conflict" section. Placing "Israeli military victory" in the infobox would probably generate an edit war.
However, in the Yom Kippur War, Israel's victory was clear cut. Precluding this from the infobox constitutes a major error of omission. I share your opinion and favor placing "Israeli military victory" in the infobox and have done so but was reverted by the same editor who reverted your edit. I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment but clearly, the article requires a major overhaul, from start to finish. If you have a good in-depth knowledge of the Yom Kippur War and wish to collaborate with me on the subject, Please drop a message on my Talk page.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 02:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
