Talk:Revolutionary war

Regarding the target of this redirect
There was nothing careless about my edit which redirected this page to Revolutionary War (disambiguation).

This redirect is actually linked to from exactly zero pages – which is as it should be.

Revolutionary War redirects to American Revolutionary War – which is correct as that's the primary topic for the proper name.

Revolutionary war – in lower case – is a generic title which could refer to other types of conflicts that can be called "revolutionary wars" including:
 * Liberation war, a conflict primarily intended to bring freedom or independence to a nation or group
 * War of independence, a conflict occurring over a territory that has declared independence
 * War of national liberation, conflicts fought by nationalities to gain independence
 * Rebellion, a refusal of obedience or order

We want to avoid links to revolutionary war which actually redirect to American Revolutionary War. That is incorrect and those links should be corrected to link to either Revolutionary War or American Revolutionary War. Forcing disambiguation of this ambiguous lower-case title accomplishes that.

If you disagree, please take this to WP:Redirects for discussion. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 22:05, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
