→Civil War
Wikipedia calls the conflict a civil war but this is anything but. Yes, the Libyan people rose up against a dictator. You have Britain and the USA with NATO support. You have France involved, the United Nations involved. You have Muslim mercenaries from other countries involved. I don't think Civil War is the right term to describe this kinetic conflict. Was the Korean and Vietnam Wars known as civil wars? Anyway, we were in the top 10 on Google for Libyan War 2011. This after moving up from page 5 for Libya Uprising 2011.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 19:22, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

:Ok, I thought it was about #17 on Google. Let's move it back, then. [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 19:39, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

::I've been reading through this and there's one thing bothering me: Although there's mention of NATO and the US's involvement in the war, there's no mention of the war itself. No mention of how it started, of the battle of Bengazi and other eastern cities? Of the rebel government being recognised, etc. Shouldn't things like this be added? At the moment, there's more about the US in here than about Libya. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 11:04, 21 July 2011 (EDT)
