No operation in North Waziristan

Excuse me but accordind to many sources, there is no operation in North Waziristan yet. For exemple this one, moreover your source in the article tells the same thing :" The sources said the government and military authorities had made it clear to Hafiz Gul Bahadur and his men to choose between the military operation or expulsion of Mahsud and Punjabi Taliban from North Waziristan. " (see here). Guillaume70 (talk) 10:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pakistani general Tariq Khan gave interviews in which he stated that on 31 March will begin a military operation against insurgents in North Waziristan. [1]. As an example of an armed clash in North Wazristan you can read here - [2]. In Orakzai battles more intense, but also in North Waziristan military operation continued for two months.Sentinel R (talk) 13:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever he said, the real operation haven't begin yet. There were already clashes before march in North Waziristan, this few new clashes doesn't proove there is an operation now (by the way, your second link doesn't work). For exemple, yesterday (27 May) officials say : "Pakistan agreed in principle on Wednesday to launch a full-fledged military operation against the Taliban in North Waziristan, but candidly told the United States that the timing of the offensive would be decided by it"([3]). The first link you put talks about "a series of small operations" in North Waziristan, so it's not really an offensive like the title of the article says. Guillaume70 (talk) 15:32, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8639346.stm - in North Waziristan have regular battles between the Pakistani military and the Taliban. And Tariq Khan - he is not a "whatever" or "somebody".Tariq Khan directs this operation. And i don't understand the genesis of your idea, what you want to change in the article?.Sentinel R (talk) 16:11, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What your source say ? "Pakistan troops killed in North Waziristan ambush (...) The military convoy was carrying out a routine movement from Miranshah to Dattakhel". So it's not "regular battles", it's not an offensive. The thing I want to change, it's when the article talks about a current offensive in North Waziristan, because even the source in the article doesn't say that. Moreover the article doesn't talk about any battle (in N. Waziristan). Will it be better to reserve an other article for the N. Waziristan offensive when it really begin ? (excuse me for my poor english). Guillaume70 (talk) 09:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will it be better to reserve an other article for the N. Waziristan offensive when it really begin ? - I'm against it, wait for more opinions from other editors. explain why I am against - this article was created when the only information was a interview Tariq Khan in which he said that the offensive would be like in North Waziristan, and in Orakzai. Difficult for me to imagine how to break this article into two parts.
excuse me for my poor english - For me the English - not native language. :) Sentinel R (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal

I propose to rename the article in the Orakzai and Kurram offensive. And create a new article about the North Waziristan Offensive. Since operation officially ended, and in North Waziristan, she only planned.Sentinel R (talk) 05:07, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was a good idea to break up the article because the operation in North Waziristan hasn't happened yet and since it will be a big operation will possibly up to 40.000 troops it deserves it own page because alot of thing will happen and this page will become to cluttered with infomation.

Deaths

To put the Pakistani claim of 1,000 insurgents killed is outrageous. How can we be sure all of them were indeed insurgents.--DAI (Δ) 09:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can read information from this article - [4] .Based on this, and I was added 1.000 casualties among the insurgents. Do you have other information about the victims?.Sentinel R (talk) 11:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Khwakh Ba De Shum. en:I Will See You

The information appeared that the operation in Orakzai has its own codename Khwakh Ba De Shum - [5],[6]. What do you think whether to rename the article, ((similar to those Operation Rah-e-Nijat)) in Operation Khwakh Ba De Shum, or leave everything as it is now?Sentinel R (talk) 18:48, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely Not, that would confuse people reading up on it. Sopher99 (talk) 16:21, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
