Talk:Operation Desert Storm

I think ODS is an aka for the Second Gulf War, not just for the air campaign or the US air campaign.

True, I'll add it as a misnomer. --drj

If most people use it, it cannot be a misnomer. See talk:Gulf War: The right name would be Second Gulf War to differentiate from the First Gulf War. However, most people hearing Gulf War will think Kuwait, just as most people hearing ODS will think Gulf War --Yooden

Even the Air Force link on the first page of Google seems to indicate this ("Airpower in Operation Desert Storm"). --Yooden

Operation Desert Storm has two meanings:

1) an operation within the Gulf War. 2) synonym for the entire Gulf War.

If you disagree with the current (my) wording... Change it! I did make an effort to point out that it has two meanings! --drj

Propaganda term[edit]

Please note that this is a propaganda term that should not be used when avoidable. Furthermore, redirects should be avoided in general. Please help removing them. Añoranza 00:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is the operational/official name and should be used in articles where it is appropriate--Looper5920 00:31, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Propaganda usually comes from the government, is thus official and this does not change anything about the fact that it is not neutral and should be avoided in an encyclopedia. Añoranza 00:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry i think concensus is against you. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 00:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, you and one other editor do not make a consensus. Second, the basic principle of the neutral point of view supports my view, as, as you know, do other editors. Añoranza 04:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

66% against you, your threshold was 50% if I remember correctly, are you stating otherwise now? Before people participate please see this users contrib page and talk page for more information on the ongoing discussion regarding this users edits to page containing operation names. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you even realize this article page has lead to Gulf War for sometime now? Since October 2002 or so? Do you even check the pages you complain about? --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have you even read what is written above? Añoranza 04:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is rude, I will not respond to further comments by you here in hopes of defusing the situation. --zero faults ^{|sockpuppets|} 04:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
