User talk:Sijo Ripa - Knowledge (XXG)

5964:"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Knowledge (XXG). Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at 468:. Traditionally, Russian defense minister Grachev claimed that Georgians were bombing themselves in order to discredit Russia, but then admitted the truth when Georgian shot down a Russian jet and the UN mission confirmed that the deceased pilot was a Russian air force officer. While this incident can also be included in the article, I think it should basically concentrate on post-war strikes most of which occurred during the Second Chechen War from 1999 to 2002. I will soon provide sources for this period. -- 5789: 1902: 5996: 2478: 21: 5778: 5324: 5212: 5100: 4988: 4868: 4701: 384: 2027: 3491: 4597: 4493: 4356: 4252: 4148: 4056: 3956: 3856: 3678: 3578: 3390: 3290: 3114: 2911: 2735: 2561: 5783: 183:

It is actually valuable to put in the full name of the author(s), and the date of retrieval for references, so that it is easier to search for the reference, and to know when the reference was either last looked at, or added to the article...when the link goes dead in the future. I think you'll find

I see your point. But I added the piece to point out the obvious, Russia's military power. The piece above my edit argues whether or not the country will someday return to its superpower status. I think my piece is relevant to point out the military, space and energy power it posses - which was some

I dont understand u undoing the edit. I dont think I have "synthesised" anything (nor do I have any reason to).

Hi Sijo Ripa. Thanks for your good work on the article. I think it is actually a great idea to create a general article with an overview of the problem and a list of major incidents. First of all, we have to think of a suitable title for this article. Meanwhile, I will try to reconstruct the

Sorry, I respect the amount of hard work you've put into the CFE page, but I was just trying to clarify the Russian status of withdrawal from Georgia with my edits noting exact status. Is there a way that we can include my material without destroying the sense of what you're trying to say?

The problem here is that not all Russian air strikes were just allegations. For example, in 1999 Russian admitted that they "erroneously" bombed a village in north Georgia and apologized for the casualties. The problem dates back to the early 1990s when a civil war raged in
