[edit] Adding The Mahdi Army april-june 2004 uprising
I would want to suggest to make and add an article about the Mahdi army uprising of april 2004, and for it to be added to the campaignbox, it was something like the Vietnam Tet offensive and I think it should be added. Any opinions? --User:Top Gun
[edit] Adding TWO battles
I have a suggestion to add two more battles to the Campaignbox Iraq War. The battle of Ramadi, April 6 2004, and The battle of Husaybah April 17 2004, both were minor engaments, not on the scale of Fallujah, Baghdad or Najaf, and lasted only a day, but the soldiers themselves said that they were fierce fights, and in both battles more than a dozen Marines were killed, 12 in Ramadi and 5 in Husaybah, and also 150 insurgents per battle were involved. They were notable battles like the Battle of Mogadishu. So if anybody's for this say it. I think it would be a good add to the Campaignbox Iraq War, and also would help to diffirentiat these casualties from the casualties suffered in the first battle for Fallujah because they have been included in that battle because these battles were initiated by the insurgents to relive pressure from the siege of the city. So who's up for this?
- I suggest you first start these articles, in hope you have information about those battles. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 15:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adding a battle
Should the Battle of Debecka Pass be added to this campaignbox, or is it too insignificant? --Roman Babylon 13:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- done.--TheFEARgod (Ч) 16:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Militias
Removed "militias" - it's not a phase of the conflict
[edit] Campaignbox size
I've just merged in what appears to be a pretty comprehensive list of operations; unfortunately, this has made the campaignbox rather large. There are two main options I can see for reducing the size:
- Split the box (either purely chronologically, or by theater/campaign/geography, but it's not clear what useful non-chronological dividing lines are present here) into three or four separate campaignboxes. Since most articles would only have one box, that would reduce the visual impact.
- Merge some of the stubbier articles into one or more overview pieces on operations in the war. Some of the entries here look to be extremely minor operations that will probably stay as permanent stubs, so collecting them together will be the better strategy (and let us reduce the size of the box at the same time).

- Okay, I've created Military operations of the Iraq War as an overview article for all the operations involved, and will start merging some of the smaller ones there, trimming them from the campaignbox as I go. Kirill Lokshin 06:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
