Forum:About the "War" Category.

Here's something I have been thinking about. The pages listed under the "Category: Wars" need to know what a war is and what isn't. The definition of a war is stated as

"War is the reciprocal and violent application of force between hostile political entities aimed at bringing about a desired political end-state via armed conflict."

It also states that

"War is not considered to be the same as occupation, murder, or genocide because of the reciprocal nature of the violent struggle, and the organized nature of the units involved."

So under that definition many of the events listed as such would not be wars. For example if Ganon (or anyone else for that mater) manages to single-handedly take over Hyrule without any resistance, only for him and his monsters to be single-handedly killed by Link, this would not qualify as a war. A few of these however could be qualified as a war, as long as the Hyrule, the Hylian Knights, or someone other group tried to fight and lost only to be saved by Link in the very end.

I think the other pages should be re listed as being conflicts, occupations, Coup d'état. I also think we should rename the category "Category: Conflicts" to keep in line with what I am suggesting. So do you think we should do it, or do you have any objections?--ShutUpNavi 23:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
