This seems like a silly page. If someone is searching for the "Colombian Armed Conflict" they surely mean the current one. If they are searching for a historical war, they would search by the name that war is known by. Can anyone provide any sources referring to any of the historical conflicts by the specific term "Colombian Armed Conflict"? --Russ (talk) 11:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I happen agree with the above. I'm not going to change it back now, as I'd like to see if there are arguments in favor of keeping this as it is. Most other Colombian conflicts are normally categorized as civil wars, for example, not as "armed conflicts". That name, in both Spanish and English, predominantly refers to the current one, by far. So yes, it's a bit silly to have this page refer to all of them as "armed conflicts". Juancarlos2004 23:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
