== Infobox "belligerents" doesn't make any sense == |
|
|
|
|
|
The infobox presently has the Pakistan and Pakistani leaders in the right-side column. This doesn't make any sense, as the attack neither actually hit Pakistani state targets, nor was it intended to hit them. If we go by the intended parties in this conflict, the right side columns say "Jaish-e-Mohammed (alleged)" under "Belligerents" and perhaps list some of the chief militants of JeM, especially if there's evidence Indian intelligence expected them to be there at the time of the bombing; on the other hand, if we go by the actual targets, it should say "None" under "Belligerents" and not lkst any commanders. In either case, however, we should list "None" and "0" under "Units involved" and "Strength", respectively. What definitely ''doesn't'' make sense is the present wording which implies the target was the Pakistani military. It is true that Pakistan subsequently retaliated in the ], but that's a different subject with its own article. ] (]) 18:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

::In charge of what? An empty forest with no one it? The trees that got hurt? Also, you reverted multiple edits by me, some of which were basically minor copyediting jobs or minor expansions of the content based on the given sources, which I find exceedingly difficult to believe are remotely controversial. You can't just revert edits and claim they require "consensus"; you need to also explain what specific objections you have. I understand the infobox revert but not the revert you made to my changes to the body. Was this an accident, by you, in an attempt to just revert my infobox changes? ] (]) 18:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

:::Yes, I can do that (read ], and ]), and as an example, a commander is the person in command, that is what it means, not that they were a target or combatant. ] (]) 18:43, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

::::Can do what? You're not making any sense, and also not responding to my questions. If you don't have any specific objections to my NON-infobox changes, I am going to reinstate my changes. They were really quite minor and I am flummoxed as to what there even is to challenge; this has the smell of ] all over it. ] clearly states to only revert when necessary, and only if you can't make improvements yourself; it also states {{tq|be specific about your reasons in the edit summary}}. I've seen 0 evidence of you even making an attempt to do any of that. ] is about verifiability, but you haven't even made any specific claims about the verifiability of my edits, or even given any specific reasons why you dislike them (besides those in the infobox)! This is thoroughly unsurprising, since my body edits were extremely minor edits, all already verified by the pre-existing sources. ] (]) 18:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

::::::::::::{{quote|As I said above, this page has been worked at to a state where neither side's POV is given undue prominence.}} |
|
|
::::::::::::Which "sides" are you even talking about? If one of those sides is the Indian government, sorry, but all reliable sources agree: ''they lied''. There is no reason to take their lies seriously in the pursuit of a "neutral POV"—this is ]. And the consensus from previous discussions has been that the claims of the Indian government should not be reported uncritically on this (and other) affairs, and as a result of this incident and other similar ones, previous RfCs and discussions have led to a number of Indian media sources being downgraded in perceived reliability. All of this has little to do with my edits, frankly, but you seem to labor under a misconception that is worth correcting. |

::::::::::::{{quote|This is deliberate, it's called compromise, and the one thing we do not need is for it to all kick off again.}} |
|
|
::::::::::::Then why ''did'' you kick it off again, over a complete frivolity? You can't kick off a dispute and then claim it was to prevent dispute—you are the one who initiated it, take some responsibility! Anyways, your argument amounts to "this page should never change because some people's feathers were ruffled in the past", and is especially laughable when the edits being challenged are as minor as they are. |

|
|
:::::::::::: If you already know they are human, why does adding the word change anything? Anyways, you concede it's not a major issue (though that has hardly stopped you from somehow trying to transform it into one). |
|
|
::::::::::::{{tq|Did all western diplomats say this, or was it only a few?}} |
|
|
::::::::::::Did you read the source? No, of course not, because you are using ] expressly as it is not to be used, as means of freezing articles, and thus did not do your due diligence. I changed the wording from {{tq|Some Western diplomats}} to {{tq|Western diplomats in Islamabad}} because the latter is, verbatim, the wording used in the source, whereas the former is not and is unspecific, besides being bad style (the reasons why I changed it). I cannot imagine that ''even'' the basest far right Hindutva ideologue who uncritically believes every word that drops from Modi's mouth would find my wording to be more controversial than the prior wording—if anything, it necessarily limits the scope of the involved officials even more, to just those in Islamabad—so I am once again amazed you are challenging it. It is simply, verbatim, the wording used in the source. |

|
::::::::::::{{quote|We do not need a list of injuries or damage, it also odd to say there was no damage to people, immediately after mentioning that someone was injured (ditto for no damage to buildings).}} |
|
|
::::::::::::The reason I made this change is precisely because of the ''prior'' existence of exactly that sort of contradiction. In your preferred version, the article reads "Villagers from the area spoke of four bombs striking a nearby forest and field around 3 am, damaging a building, and injuring a local man... lThe local hospital officials and residents asserted that they did not come across any casualty or wounded people.}} I was confused by this, as anyone would be, because how did the {{tq|villagers}}/{{tq|residents}} both report the bomb {{tq|injuring a local man}} ''and'' that they did not {{tq|come across any... wounded people}}? The apparent contradiction revolved by using slightly more ''specific wording'', which was what all my edits (outside the infobox) were trying to do: they identified a local man received some bruises and cuts, but there were no "real" injuries (and thus no one went to the hospital). This is clear from my version, and completely inexplicable from yours, without tracing down what each source said, as I did. That is the whole and entire reason I mentioned specific injuries/damages at all. And there is no contradiction in my version if you understand what the phrase "other than" means. |

*That parameter makes about as much sense as using "infobox military conflict". I think it's use makes sense given the use of military force in the territory of a different sovereign country, but perhaps infobox military operation might be better suited? I have no strong opinion, but the parameter itself is a distraction, discussing this requires discussing the framing of the entire infobox. ] (]) 21:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

*:That's a much better solution, thank you. Using {{tl|Infobox military operation}} didn't occur to me, but that's obviously the most appropriate infobox here. ] (]) 22:39, 28 March 2024 (UTC) |

On February 26, 12 Mirages took off from multiple air bases, crossed over into the Pakistani air space and carried out attacks on the JeM terror camp. IAF pilots dropped five Spice 2000 bombs, out of which four penetrated the rooftops of the building in which the terrorists were sleeping. The attacks were carried out at 3:30 am and within a few minutes after dropping bombs on their targets, the IAF jets returned to their bases. |
|
|
|
|
|
The aircraft used in the attack belonged to the No 7 and No 9 squadrons of the Indian Air Force and included the non-upgraded planes as the upgraded Mirages of the No 1 squadron did not have the air-to-ground strike capability at that time. |
|
|
|
|
|
The weapons: Apart from IAF’s highly-skilled pilots and the Research & Analysis Wing’s (RAW) accurate intel, India spread out a line of weaponry and aircraft from its arsenal. While Mirage 2000 were used to drop bombs on targeted sites, a set of other Mirages with Su-30MKI combat aircraft kept the Pakistan air force planes away from causing any hindrance or launching any counter-offensive. ] (]) 21:19, 27 April 2024 (UTC) |

Planet labs did not conduct the analysis of the imagery, it provided the imagery and reuters (along with experts they asked) did the analysis. I think it's not that important who provided the images, so I've just replaced that part by "Reuters".
In retaliation, Pakistan's F-16 was shot down by India's MiG-21 Bison, this is the first time in history that a MiG-21 shot down an F-16.
