Italien

Why there is no mention about involvement of italy in the conflict? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.48.73.118 (talk) 21:07, 29 November 2016

Air bombardment claims

The site states "For 42 consecutive days and nights, the coalition forces subjected Iraq to the most intensive air bombardment in military history. The coalition flew over 100,000 sorties dropping 88,500 tons of bombs…" The data may be true, but the claim of "most intensive air bombardment in military history" is debatable and entirely subjective depending on what they are basing that claim on. Intensive means concentrated, but how are they determining that, by number/tonnage/area/sorties/time?

Until there is something to corroborate the claim, “the most” should either be changed to “one of the most” or “an” (with "in military history" removed). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.45.115.4 (talk) 09:53, 4 September 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

The name is incorrect

If its name is Gulf, why does it say Persian Gulf here? مصطفی کوهستانی (talk) 11:13, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@مصطفی کوهستانی The article title is based on Wikipedia:Article titles policy — DaxServer (t · m · c) 11:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are many "Gulf", as there are many seas. Can you name a sea that has no suffix? and just call it "Sea".
So how do you say the Persian Gulf, Gulf?
"Gulf War" is as ridiculous as saying "Sea War". مصطفی کوهستانی (talk) 12:09, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Desert Strike is most likely the first video game ever made about the Gulf War. It should be included in the Popular culture section, thanks! BlazeFielding BlazeFielding (talk) 08:03, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
