Archiving 2006 israel-lebanon crisis talk

Nice work, reason i put it on todo rather then do it is it's now almost 5am here, way too late for me to think rationally... maybe i'll have a look tommorow if no one else beats me to it... --darkskyz 01:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Warships/Tanks as Casualties

I removed them again. I checked out the articles you referenced but those were primarily naval battles, not the sort of conflict that is being discussed in this situation. Casualties in all media accounts of the conflict refers solely to human losses not equipment losses. Your citation of a tank and warship doesn't even reflect the true number of "casualties", since Israel also lost a Humvee in the initial Hezbollah border attack--so tanks are casualties but Humvees aren't?

So I see your point, but please don't add them in again, it's not the place for it. Perhaps an equipment losses section of the infobox could be created to reflect these losses--although it would be very difficult to determine Hezbollah equipment losses as well as Lebanese equipment losses.Publicus 12:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point in the Talk section, I agree. I'll try and add the "equipment losses" to the info-box.Publicus 20:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
