Excellent Start[edit]

Great start on this Reference, I will add this to my watchlist and help out here as well. =) Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 04:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ! --Reference Desker (talk) 05:05, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli Reactions[edit]

Here are some nice Israeli reactions: [1]

[2] -- partly about Libya, mostly saying Iran should be treated in a similar manner.

[3] -- yes it's Twitter, but it's the official account of Foreign Ministry offering an opinion.

[4] -- not sure if it's an RS, but it does remark on the fact that Bibi has been mostly quiet about what's happening. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 04:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


What is the point of this page exactly ?[edit]

There is already this one that covers the same issues in greater detail:

International reactions to the 2011 Libyan uprising:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reactions_to_the_2011_Libyan_uprising#Europe

That one covers the reactions to Gadaffi's behavior towards the protestors and then rebels, this one is about our military intervention in the country and world reactions to that intervention. I thought that was crystal clear. O_O Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 19:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is a lot of duplicate information. I was actually about to put in a request to merge the two reaction pages, but we can discuss it first. I guess I feel like having two separate pages for two parts of the same conflict is like having separate pages for a reaction to the Japanese earthquake and a reaction to the nuclear accident caused by the earthquake. -Kudzu1 (talk) 08:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reaction to Libya uprising and reactions to NATO intervention in Libya are different. And yes, wikipedia has two pages Humanitarian response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and International reaction to Fukushima I nuclear accidents. --Reference Desker (talk) 10:52, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As well, Kudzu, we have the problem of making sure we avoid making that article too big. It would become a big 'ole fast growing mess I'm afraid, like kudzu (hehe). =( Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 06:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorted. There's still a bit of duplicate information, but only that which surrounds the UN vote (seeing as that it's quite literally the dividing line between the uprising and the intervention phases of the civil war [I recognize the term is officially in dispute here, but I won't be coy about my personal feelings for the purposes of Talk page discussions], I think it's relevant for both pages to reflect how countries voted or what they advocated prior to the vote, for example) and statements addressing the conflict as a whole (as Pakistan did, though I trimmed the specific complaints against the coalition from the other article). -Kudzu1 (talk) 11:06, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm glad to see that all those Middle Eastern reactions were added, as not having any reactions to an intervention in their area just seems strange. Why no reactions from the PA or Humus (much tastier than Hamas imo) though? I could have sworn I saw at least the PA PM saying something about it, but there's too many articles in JPOST and YNET to sift through, and I am not wading through Ma'an.

Understand the scope of the page[edit]

This page is for reactions from governments after the beginning of military intervention on March 19. This edit includes reactions after the uprising with is outside the scope of this page. Similarly these edits are NOT reaction to NATO intervention. Editors must understand the scope of this page before making edits. --Reference Desker (talk) 02:05, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Preserving NPOV[edit]

A note to anyone who wants to hijack real estate on this page to post WP:ORIGINAL and WP:NPOV unsourced critiques of the military intervention: go start a blog instead. This is an encyclopedia, not Jezebel. -Kudzu1 (talk) 05:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Putin's reaction (which should be under Russia's bit) is the only bit that belongs. The rest is not supposed to be here. As well, I believe that only declarations of war are required to be put through Congress. We have not issued a formal declaration of war since the Second World War. (Which, by the definition of the material that was removed, would mean that every intervention of ours since the War has been illegal.)
