"Return to status quo ante bellum" for Kargil war was a recent change. In fact, until October 2014, we recognized that 1965 and 1999 Indo-Pakistan war as "Defeat" for Pakistan.
[1] Globlasecurity is a unrelibale source and it should not be used anywhere.
Balochistan conflict seems to be reflection of main events, it is not continuous, that's why we had added
1970s Operation in Balochistan, the very major one. For these few reasons I have removed the recent edits.

How "things were done" are of
no consequence on wiki.
WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. We got a consensus on the war article and list should only be a reflection of that. If you have an issue, go back and change that consensus. It is disruptive to sneak in POV elsewhere esp. when consensus has just been in another direction on the dedicated article. I don't think global security is unreliable... For Balochistan conflict, I don't know why it was originally added but my reason for the revert was that
War in Northwest Pakistan is of similar nature... both are prolonged conflicts. This list is quite a mess, it could do better if formatted like
Indo-Pak wars. Also thanks for telling me how we 'do' things here, but we don't. A further request, you seem to be reopening editwars that have cooled down / gone away recently... it might or might not get you blocked but it will definitely make the newbie editors who were editwaring not knowing better start it all again and either burn out or lost to the wiki at blocks. --lTopGunl (

Consensus on other page doesn't apply here since this is wholly different subject. Globalsecurity is a unreliable source, you can look through the archives of
WP:RSN. What is actually wrong with the summary that Pakistan withdrew from the Kargil?

It doesn't, especially when the changes are longstanding. And for that you have to make "blanket revert"? Again, what was actually incorrect about Pakistan's withdrawal from Kargil?

Sorry, I disagree.. and I did not make a blanket revert, I addressed each point I reverted. You, on the other hand, have reverted everything in your first revert without addressing much of it.. and again in your following reverts. You have a POV about the result, that's not how the sources call it and we've discussed abundantly. Not getting conesnus and then going to obscure articles to unilaterally implement is not something you want on your record. --lTopGunl (

Just because you claim some unreliable source to be reliable, it doesn't means that it becomes reliable. It was effectively a new edit to the article, thus you have no idea about
WP:BRD. Arguments like "I addressed" doesn't fit when you have only misrepresented a bunch of policies and talked about edit wars. Clearly you are pushing POV like no one has claimed that Pakistan had to withdraw from the war.

It was in since a month, that's not a new edit. See
WP:BURDEN when you revert out standing content from the article. As I said, go get a consensus at
Kargil war, don't unilaterally change summaries in obscure articles. I can't tell you that endlessly so I'm done as far as Kargil war summary is concerned. For the rest, you've failed to clear
WP:BURDEN as of yet. --lTopGunl (

Series of edits were made by SawTooth on 3 November, and they were reverted twice. That would lead to discuss him his changes first, rather than adding unreliable sources and removing the informative war summaries that remained unchanged since the page was started.

My main dispute was with the use of globalsecurity.org and the summary of 1999 Kargil War, it would be fine to link to their main results link in the summary and consider these to be "Ceasefire" or whatever any similar term would be. I don't think that we actually require sources to be mentioned here, if there are sources, it can be helpful for the main articles. I hope
TopGun agrees.

To be honest, I am not a fan of or against global security, though I don't want articles to lose a reference without the removing editor specifically linking the consensus that asks to remove it. So I wont revert GS in for now if you can link the RSN discussion. For the Kargil war, we spent some time discussing and finding a neutral infobox statement which was really objective and had consensus and I would have still added that regardless of the standing result on this article. It does not make sense to editwar at a list which is in really poor condition anyway IMO. If you want to change the result, go to the article, get consensus, come back and change all lists to reflect it. All I am saying is that this is unhealthy. --lTopGunl (

Question, why were all the references eg.

For your non-controversial part of the suggestion, it's hell of a list and needs a full overhaul.. generic see also links aren't helpful, you're right. --lTopGunl (

I can care pretty less about rest of the changes, but I also agree that see also must be changed a bit, you can look prior to my versions, I had only changed its heading as it included "Siachen War" and numerous conflicts. How about the Balochistan conflict? The one that started from 1947 is not different to the one that started from 1973. You have to either keep any one of them or merge together. Agree

While there is mixed consensus in the international community about the 1965 war (with the claim than India had the upper-hand when ceasefire was implemented) the 1999 Kargil war has been viewed as a Pakistani defeat (except for by Pakistanis). It was Pakistan who retreated, thereby not completing their mission, whereby India completed its mission of evicting the Pakistani army. Pakistan also lost bargains in the war with India fulfilling its goals. See the
List of wars involving India page for more details, as both the wars are mentioned as 'Victory' there. I have therefore made the necessary changes. But I will give the benefit of the doubt about the 1965 war and not change its status, so just changing the result for the Kargil War. Please discuss here before starting an edit-war. Thank you, and I hope this article helped you.

To me one editor is constantly edit warring here and there. Anyway, whether the main article says something else or not, it is not really a matter especially when the results are apparently correct and longstanding.

I am not blaming one editor over the other, but simply wish to reach a consensus here. Results here should reflect the one's on each conflict's main page. The statuses for each conflict were reached by great deliberation on their respective talk pages so as far as Wikipedia is concerned they are correct (not what we think is correct in our mind). The scope of discussion on this page is to correctly reflect the statuses of these conflicts as they occur on their respective pages not to deliberate if they are correct or not. If you feel (or anyone else feels) that they have been incorrectly represented on their conflict pages then please feel free to open a discussion on those talk pages. Those discussions are beyond the scope of this page.

Currently it seems we have people arguing over
Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. One editor places it as Ceasefire and the other as Armistice. I propose we replace this with what is reflected in the conflict page infobox. Namely,
"Inconclusive; United Nations mandated ceasefire.
Both sides claim victory
No permanent territorial changes (see Tashkent Declaration)."
IMHO the table result section should be same as result section of the infobox of the respective war pages. any row not having its own article page should be merged and the results should be as per the infobox. There is no justification for keeping a discrepancy between the Main article and this table. The wordings of the Infobox result page in the article page are already after much debate and as per

The Results of the First Indo-Pakistani War should be changed to 'Victory' for Pakistan wholly due to the fact that before the war, India was going to annex Kashmir. However, the war led to a division of Kashmir, which was beneficial for Pakistan.

After getting independence , kashmir was neither a part of India nor pakistan . But pakistan armed forces attacked kashmir , and so, kashmiri king came for help to India and officially declared kashmir to be a part of India , So indian forces fought and won a far more percent of land than pakistan ,So I think that India should be the winner , But as UN interferred , so its called a ceasefire.

This information and provided results on the Pakistan vs India and other conflicts is biased. It seems to be the version of Pro-Indian bias. For example the first war of Pakistan vs India on Kashmir is being shown as "Ceasefire", which was the case for ALL of PK vs. IND conflicts. This war resulted in the capture of Kashmir 1/3 territories of Pakistan from India, thus it was India's defeat.
The same goes for few other events being mentioned such as 1965, Kargil, Aghan War, War on Terror etc.

After partition of ind and pak , kashmir decided to become a seprate nation . But pakistan army attacked kashmir so as to capture it . So the kashmiri ruler went to India for help , and Indian government agreed to help him only if kashmir becomes part of India . So India captured more portion of kashmir than pakistan .

Add on: Same thing goes for 1965 War being shown as "Inconclusive", which has been the final eventuality in ALL such conflicts etc for the Civil War of West vs. East Pakistan, where the West Pakistan was badly defeated by the East Pakistan (and India was the East side of the Civil war).
However, in 1965 conflict, Pakistan captured significant portion of Indian Punjab which is a known fact.
Kargil conflict became eventually a cease fire, however after heavy casualties on both sides with a ratio of 1:2 (and sometimes quoted as high as 1:3) where Indian army had to take much more casualties. Thus from the battle perspective scoring, it was a defeat of the Indian side, which was then mediated by the US for the PK Armed forces to retreat. Majority of the causalties on the PK armies took place in the retreat process.
2019 IND vs PK mini battle-Pulwama: Defeat for India where atleast 1 plane has been recorded to be shot down by the PK (PAF) and India's pilot being captured and returned back to India.
Afghan War- PK/US/Afghan "Mujahideen" Allaince VICTORY against USSR/India/ other communist block allies/Afghan communist groups.
Afghan Civil War since 1990's - Present- Still ongoing for 20+ years, especially since 2001. The sides are Afghan Northern Alliance vs Aghan Taliban with very fluid backings of various state actors on all sides. Inorder to keep it focused between India and Pakistan, India is supporting the Northern Alliance and PK the Aghan Talibans. The US/Iran had been fluid all sides, with the most recent announcement of the Peacy Treaty withdrawal plan between the US and Aghan Taliban being announced. Thus the odds seems like at the moment that between PK vs IND proxy war of 20 years, PK has defeated IND on this front.
War on Terror: PK defeated the Indian/Aghan backed insurgents known as TTP.
In general, this attempt to create a Pro-Indian biased history is quite obvious, which is not based upon the facts. If one start listing All the historical events, the history reader will come to a conclusion that in most cases PK has won more the mini conflict or the longer term proxy conflicts.
On the traditional battle fronts the score is more on PK side (4-2).
1. 1947 Battle on Kashmir- PK won and captured territory what is known as AJK.
2. 1965 Battle- PK won and captured Indian Punjab swathes of acreages till the ceasefire was called and land returned back to IND.
3. 1971 Civil War- IND won and West. PK was defeated very badly to a point they were 7 days from completely loosing W. PK, had the ceasefire not called upon.
4. 1980's Siachen Battle- IND won based upon the first capture of startegic locations (few hundred meters), which is still under IND's control.
5. 1999 Kargil Conflict- PK won based upon the casualty counts higher on IND's side and the US intervention which lead to PK's voluntary retreat from the Startegically captured areas.
6. 2019 LOC Pulwama Conflict- PK won based upon the Indian Airforce plane/s being shot down and pilot/s captured.

To begin with, I believe it is imperative for this page to distinctly include each of the various phases of the Afghan Civil War. At the moment, it only displays the 1996-2001 conflict even though Pakistan had been deeply involved in the preceding periods as well, namely 1989-1992 and 1992-1996.
The relevant sources highlighting Pakistani involvement can be seen in the following articles which showcase Pakistan as a belligerent to the conflicts.
It can be noted that the distinct periods have separate articles to properly distinguish them from one another. Moreover, they are independently identified as the “Second” and “Third” Afghan Civil Wars on this page here as well.
Secondly, I hoped to discuss the result attributed to the conflict entitled “Afghan Civil War (1996-2001)” with respect to Pakistan. It states “Defeat. End of the Taliban government rule in Afghanistan”.
This directly contradicts the information showcased in pages closely tied with the conflict. For instance, when the main page for the conflict itself is observed, it establishes the result as a “Military Stalemate” rather than “Defeat” which contradicts the result stated here.
Furthermore, the statement “End of Taliban government rule in Afghanistan” is misleading as well considering the “Afghan Civil War (1996-2001)” did not result in the collapse of the Taliban government.
The Taliban only fell when the United States intervened which is seen as a completely separate conflict from the Afghan Civil War. This distinction can be noted on the aforementioned page as well. The downfall of the Taliban is only listed on the “War in Afghanistan (2001-2021)” instead of “Afghan Civil War (1996-2001)”
The US Invasion of Afghanistan was directly facilitated by Pakistan which provided military bases and direct flight to American forces. The Pakistani government aligned itself with the United States following the September 11 Attacks and supported Coalition forces in toppling the Taliban regime. As such, I find it strange that the result is considered a defeat for Pakistan.

Hi, there something i would like to discuss, if you could add rebbellions, uprisings and large scale operations, battles/skrimishes to the page (involving any country of course) :-
As you reverted my edit in which i had added a uprising giving the reason it was not a war, where as in other countries lists the same rebbellions, uprisings, Large scale operations/battles and skrimishes and other small scale conflicts are also added to lists of wars involving other countries by why were they not removed just like in the ones which i added ? like in (
List of wars involving the United States), (
List of wars involving India), (
List of wars involving Afghanistan)
You are correct there are many of these lists that have content that doesn't meet the inclusion criteria. I've been cleaning up a number of these lists. This is a list of wars involving Pakistan, not an exhaustive list or index of battles and military engagements involving Pakistan. //

Also i have seen your work there its great and pretty much good for now. But it does not give a instant and overall result of the battle,conflict instead there should be a seperate section or timeline for battles in form of a list just like the war page which would help the reader understand quickly and grasp intrest in the article and be helpful simple wikipedia readers.
As for a example:- just like in (
maratha portugese war) the conflict section, Each of the event is listed with citations.
Pakistani support in JVP Insurrections, Sri Lanka, Nagorno-Karabakh 2020
Pakistan provided military support during the First and Second JVP Insurrections. The
List of wars involving India article mentions this (Post-colonial wars). We added the Korean war even though that was only diplomatic.
Additionally, Pakistan also provided military arms to Sri Lanka during their Civil war, as mentioned in the
Sri Lankan Civil War article and
Military history of Pakistan (support for Sri Lanka) too. India was initially supporting the Tamils, but switched sides towards the end. However, this is not mentioned in the article overview at all.
Lastly, Pakistan gave diplomatic support to Azerbaijan throughout the entire Nagorno-Karabakh conflict (for Azerbaijan providing diplomatic support on the Pakistani stance on Kashmir). This is mentioned in the
Armenia-Pakistan relations and
Azerbaijan-Pakistan relations articles. Again, we added the Korean war for less.
I'm bringing the articles directly as the sources used to substantiate those claims would have been verified.
Hi, i Have noticed that you have removed the wars which i added to the list and stating in the edit summary "no sources stating this was a war or that Pakistan was a party to a war, entry does not meet article list criteria"......I will state some sources here mentioning Pakistani involvement by troops,support or any other type:-
a) (The crisis began almost immediately after the Congo became independent from Belgium and ended, unofficially, with the entire country under the rule of
Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. Constituting a series of
civil wars, the Congo Crisis was also a
proxy conflict in the
Cold War, in which the
Soviet Union and the
United States supported opposing factions.)
I would agree with you in this case that pakistan did not take part in the military intervention along australia in the 22 member led military intervention so let it be removed
International Force East Timor.
Overall with the sources i provided it should be enough for the Congo crisis edit to be revereted by you instead of me reverting it.

Sources are what is needed. Pakistan did contribute peace keeping troops, but this is very different from being a part of a war. Peacekeeping missions are often just to monitor and are not suppose to get involved, are there reliable sources stating that Pakistan was a part of the war? //

These missions were part of the intervention in congo.
Sources state that :-
1- Pakistani troops were involved in interior and troop movements to and from the Congo.
2- Logistics support to the UN troops during intervention. (1960-1964)
This makes clear that they provided support in organization of operations in the war in logistics center and troop moevments.
Your source refute your claim. Pakistan was not involved in the war, they sent 400 non-combat personnel to support UN peacekeeping operations. Nothing more. They were not combat troops, they were not involved in any battles, they did not play any role in ending the fighting. They provided logistical support at airports and transportation hubs. They were not involved in the war. //

I do understand it now what you meant, thanks for clarifying.
The article and sources refer to this as a terrorist attack followed by one week civil conflict, and a military crackdown, I don't see anywhere in this is discussed as a war in reliable sources, and the article doesn't describe a war. Clearly terrible bloodshed, but not a war.
Outline of Pakistan military history is the place for listing articles related to Pakistan military history. it is a newer article so it needs work; once it is more developed I will integrate it into overall Wikipedia navigation system. You can see the general format of entries here: A section title with a hatnote linking the main article (don't link section titles per
WP:SECTIONTITLE), followed by a brief paragraph describing the entry; if there are articles about events, individuals, units, locations, they can be added under an appropriate heading (see this section for an example (
[3]).
Navigation lists and articles are only useful if readers find what they are looking for, in this case a list of wars. If the list is filled up with events that do not meet the criteria or becomes overly detailed, readers will not be able to find what they are looking for, hence we have
WP:LISTCRITERIA. In this case, this is a list of wars, the "top level" major military events - this is what readers are expecting. If the reader is looking for something more detailed and expansive, we have the Outline I mentioned above. This works well per
WP:SUMMARYSTYLE where
Military history of Pakistan is the main topic article and the list of wars and outline are navigation lists to support this main topic.
You'll notice when looking at
Military history of Pakistan it doesn't mention
2007 Kurram Agency conflict or the
Congo Crisis (except in a list of peacekeeping missions); if these were wars, they would have (or should be) been discussed in the article on the military history of Pakistan, not discussing a war would be a notable omission in an article about the military history of a nation; they are also not mentioned in
History of Pakistan (1947–present); this is an indication these are comparatively minor events; they are terrible, but minor events compared with the items that are indisputably wars in the list.
There is no one standard here, duration, international involvement, conflict intensity, labeling by English language reliable sources (more weight on English Wikipedia), labeling in non-English language sources (less weight on English Wikipedia); sometimes wars are label conflicts (eg: Balochistan conflict), sometimes lesser events are label as wars (eg:
List of bloodless wars). One helpful criteria would be "is the questionable event I am thinking about including, the same type/level of event of those events that indisputably meet the criteria". For example, no one would dispute that
First Indo-Pakistani War is a war and belongs in the list; compare this with
2007 Kurram Agency conflict - are they the same type of event, the same level of conflict? If not then it should go into another navigation list.
Lists on Wikipedia are often filled with entries that do not meet the criteria, it is a known problem and one some editors are trying to fix.
This explanation helps alot i will study this in detail slowly.
1- correct me if im wrong but the so-called sunni groups except TTP
(Pakistani Taliban) were designated as terrorist group by pakistan since 2001-2002 and later TTP in 2008
(List and date of parties banned or designated as terroist group) . The shia militias were local civillians in Pakistani's they fought ttp, who were targetting them for being shia's after a certian event. They handed over the land to Army.
2- Another Topic i wanted to discuss a experienced user since a long time. The Wars involving British Indian Empire should be added to the Pakistani List of wars, as Pakistan and its people were also part of
British Raj and numerous troops recruited, fought under the British indian army
Military history of Pakistan#1857–1947. So there for a section like this
List of wars involving India#Modern India (c. 1850s to 1947 CE) would be added to Pakistan's page.
