Talk:Libyan civil war (2014–2020)

Commons photos of Libyan-Libyan dialogue

An ethically valid complaint at Talk:Libyan Political Dialogue Forum is that Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (and Libyan peace process, though not mentioned there) have characteristic photos from key UN facilitators, but the claim from most of the sources is that the main proposals and decisions are made by Libyans, with UN facilitators only minimally mediating.

If you are among the many Libyans participating in one of the LPDF events and if it's considered acceptable for you to publish a photo (screen snapshot) that you take and that can be considered representative of "Libyans deciding on their future in the LPDF/peace process", then consider publishing it at the Commons so that we can use it on at least one or two places in these articles. Make sure you explain that the photo will be free-licensed and be freely usable by whoever wishes to use it, within the CC-BY-SA conditions (if you choose the default licence).

RfC: This war has been declared over by Wikipedia editors. Without a single reference saying so...

So some editors decided that this war has "ended" because there is a ceasefire. Not a single reference or media outlet what so ever has been provided which explicitly states that this war is over. Wikipedia editors (even with consensus) cannot end an entire war... Please share your opinions. Sam32421 (talk) 00:31, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

The war is over because a permanent ceasefire between the two sides was ratified on 23 October 2020, and an interim Unity government was formed on 10 March 2021. Along with that, nation wide elections are set for December 2021 and not a lot of violence has happened since the ceasefire. Wowzers122 (talk) 02:11, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

@Sam32421: Why is this any different then the Korean War which "ended" with an Armistice? --Steamboat2020 (talk) 05:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

@Steamboat2020: Read the title of the RfC? Says no references. There are thousands of journals, officials and most importantly references that say "the Korean war is over". In here, there is not a single reference. Sam32421 (talk) 18:27, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

@Sam32421: my point was that at some point after the fighting stops a war is over by default. I don't know if several months are sufficient but if they are then the refernces to the fighting having ended are also references to the end of the war!--Steamboat2020 (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Important comment by the nominator Both respondents are not responding to the RfC's topic. Which is about the no references that declare the war over, respondents have repeated their own arguments on why they believe the war is over, without a single reference explicitly saying so. Wikipedia is not built on arguments, please read the entire WP:OR article. Sam32421 (talk) 18:22, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I have responded to the nominator's concerns-see above--Steamboat2020 (talk) 18:38, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I came to the article just as a reader to get some information, and I do feel some astonishment at the apparent confidence (and it is unsourced confidence) that Wikipedia considers this civil war is "over". 78.149.46.96 (talk) 14:54, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 6 August 2023

Second Libyan Civil War → Libyan Civil War (2014–2020) – Despite having more results compared to how many results the First Libyan Civil War has, still, most sources do not include “second” in the title. WikipedianRevolutionary (talk) 19:41, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
