Hi, I see that you have been adding additional commanders to the infobox. This is perfectly OK since their inclusion is supported by the body of the article. However, the template documentation would tell us to limit this to about seven aside and we are now at that point. If other commanders might be added to the infobox because their role as a commander is evidence by the body of the article, we would need to be more discerning as to who is added - ie not just because they have a mention in the article. Per WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE, the purpose of the infobox is to summarise key facts and less is better. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Those listed should be the most key commanders. This means that we may need to remove entries from the infobox to make room for other commanders who are actually more significant. I would hope that you bare this in mind for future edits.

 * Fair enought. I will limit it to Lt Gens and commanders of the largest battles from now on. @Cinderella157 >>> Extorc . talk  06:23, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Cinderella157 I am also going to add flags since commanders are from different branches of military, it helps differentiate who is a military commander, who is a political commander and of what branch. >>> Extorc . talk  06:52, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * This would be an incorrect application of flags per MOS:INFOBOXFLAGS. The meaning of the flags is not established by a legend. Cinderella157 (talk) 07:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "Flag icons should only be inserted in infoboxes in those cases where they convey information in addition to the text." - The flags deliver information about the branch of service of the commanders.
 * "Summarizing military conflicts" - The MOS clearly states military conflicts are a valid place to use flagicons. @Cinderella157 >>> Extorc . talk  11:06, 16 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Such flags as you added do not convey useful information unless there is context which establishes the meaning of the flags. When there are two or more belligerents on one side, flags in the belligerent section along with the country name act as a legend. Then, corresponding flags against commanders would communicate the allegiance of commanders. The flags you added do not work this way. There is no legend to establish the meaning of the flags.

Positions and ranks in infobox
, the addition of positions and rank is contrary to the documentation at Template:Infobox military conflict. These should not have been re-added. Cinderella157 (talk) 00:21, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Ooh that is my bad. I hadnt read that portion. You can remove those. >>> Extorc . talk  06:31, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Editor as you mentioned that India captured areas of Lahore,sialkot and other.According to the book 1965:"An inside story" which is written by RD Pradhan the special assistant of India's defense minister YB Chawan and later also became the governor of U.P.He writes in his book that we captured Lahore but due to fierce retaliation from Pakistan we lost it and the local commander Major Gen Naranjash ran away.This shows that the Lahore was lost by Indians and no land was captured as you mentioned that areas of Lahore were captured.He further writes that Defense minister had a meeting with COAS of India and COAS said if the war doesn't stops the Pakistani military will be on the Delhi gate as they have infiltrated through Rajasthan these thing show that India didnt had an upper hand and for your kind information India was the first country to except ceasefire not Pakistan.I also want to tell that Pakistan crossed the disputed territory of Kashmir with few men,but India crossed International border not us they should have fought us in Kashmir but instead they broke International law. 39.62.168.226 (talk) 10:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Not seventeen week war, nearly seven week war.
In the first para, there is a line that says, "The seventeen-week war caused thousands of casualties on both sides and witnessed the largest engagement of armored vehicles and the largest tank battle since World War II."

This is incorrect. The war was nearly seven weeks long, not seventeen weeks.

Correct it. Thank you. 103.181.69.23 (talk) 03:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
