Italy
editWhy 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
editThe 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)
Collectible banknotes
editUser:Tunakanski what is your source for 'the banknotes are still collectibles' as of 25 November 2024? Perhaps a better wording might be 'In 2017 the stolen banknotes were said to be a collectible for'.SovalValtos (talk) 19:49, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- I can't think of anything that would have happened in the last seven years that would make the banknotes no longer a collectible item. I haven't found anything beyond the source cited in the article saying they are or were collectibles, but I've found various websites selling them for a decent amount, which could be a testament to the fact that they are still collectors items. Nonetheless, I'd support the change you suggested. Tuna
