Persistent grammatical issues

I appreciate the enthusiasm for the topic, but please - review what has been written before publishing. Often, the content of the article has made absolutely no sense - for instance, the sentence,

"the Sudanese government announced the closure of the airspace of the country, which was initally only for to the international airport which already was enough for country's to suspend, leading the countries which had already suspended flights to finally have them suspended as a whole, on the same day casualties in the country almost doubled from 97 to 185 deaths, most of them were most likely in Nyala and Khartoum,"

is not just a run-on sentence, but one whose grammatical structure is almost completely incoherent. The persistent usage of commas rather than periods makes it come off as more rambling, rather than a proper sentence, and large chunks of it simply do not make grammatical sense ("which was initally only for to the international airport which already was enough for country's to suspend, leading the countries which had already suspended flights"). The above example is just one of many I've had to restructure today.

Feel free to edit, but please, please, run your content through some sort of grammar check before publishing. Otherwise, it keeps falling on us to clean it up. The Kip (talk) 01:43, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey, @The Kip
Thanks a lot for the recommendation, it can sometimes rush on articles like this one, thank you for cleaning the mess I recently made, I'm gonna look into this article further today. NYMan6 (talk) 11:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Not in the source

There is no information about the deaths of 4 UN workers and 1 Japanese in the sources. I didn't find this information even in a search engine. DBatura (talk) 16:31, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

HI @DBatura
I do not know who left it there, I can confirm an Indian death but can't find one for a Japanese civilian we should try an find out before we delete the text.

Who wrote to Belligerents Houthis, Wagner group and even Kurdistan Workers' Party?

Someone added to the Belligerents section on the Sudan side: PFH (I don't know what the squiggle means, but there is a PKK flag next to it) and Wagner group and "Houti Jemen" were added to the Rapid Support Forces. In addition to the fact that this is without a source, I would like to mainly ask if the person is serious or if he is just a troll. Dr. Ivan Kučera (talk) 09:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

I was also confused on that @Dr. Ivan Kučera, from what I've seen it was a IP user with 78 in his username, he even put Adolf Hitler as a commander and the Yemeni Air Force, we should contact this guy on his talk page for a violation.

Was just a vandal/troll, they've since been blocked. The Kip (talk) 18:50, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Can anyone upload a picture of Khartoum's fighting?

Please there are thousands of pictures, I'll try posting free use but please anyone upload at least 3 pictures of the battle onto commons NYMan6 (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Why is this up for deletion?

No one explained why this should be deleted so why? Oddballslover (talk) 15:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Foreign victims

The sources do not indicate where they were killed. Perhaps they died not in Khartoum, but in other cities. DBatura (talk) 10:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

American and Indian died in Khartoum, already looked through several sources as well, the Iraqi one is real and im still looking into it. Deletion of it won't be necessary until I confirm. NYMan6 (talk) 10:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
The source for 'local' civilian deaths doesn't actually say whether they were Sudanese or 'foreign'. The infobox and text are wildly out of line and out of date. It is probably the case that a reliable estimate would be better than incoherent 'false' specifics. Pincrete (talk) 17:53, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Vandalism

April 15th and 23rd sections have been vandalized. 2600:1702:2B50:1370:E1C1:2616:D198:CAB (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

A part of it was you, but I'd agree we need a {{PP-VANDALISM}} tag NYMan6 (talk) 10:38, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

New developments

The page has not been updated to reflect the developments over the past 3 weeks. Meanwhile, multiple sources report airstrikes and artillery fire in Khartoum (as recently as yesterday), e.g. The Guardian or Arab News. The article would benefit from being expanded. 2A02:AB04:2C2:E300:7C03:7CF:37CC:129E (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Agree, I'll try to make improvements NYMan6 (talk) 19:48, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Battle of Omdurman (2023) into Battle of Khartoum (2023)

Unanimous agreement to merge. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Omdurman is part of greater Khartoum. There isn't really anything in the very short forked Omdurman page that couldn't be easily merged in to the Khartoum article. It makes more sense to cover the events as one topic, since we already cover most events in Omdurman in the Khartoum page, and they're two parts of the same larger battle for the capital. HappyWith (talk) 15:49, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Also, the Battle of Khartoum page explicitly says Omdurman is part of its scope in the infobox. HappyWith (talk) 15:50, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Merge: not sufficient coverage for a separate article and better included with Khartoum (Omdurman is part of it anyway) FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:37, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Merge: I agree, most of media coverage shows both battles as one Lucasmota0975 (talk) 23:47, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 21 August 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 00:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Only name. The article Siege of Mariupol is not called Siege of Mariupol (2022) because of the Battle of Mariupol (1919). Per WP:TITLEDAB, disambiguation is only necessary when there is otherwise an actual conflict in article titles. No such conflict in titles exists. Per WP:AT, concision is preferred over unnecessary precision. Parham wiki (talk) 21:59, 21 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Support per nom. Realistically, the dab page could be deleted with a WP:HATNOTE in its place. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
