Several were killed in Khuzestan, which might be related with the Arab insurgency in Khuzestan, but the Iranian PressTV claimed that the cell members were "Takfiri" (ISIL). Can anyone verify with a more reliable source?GreyShark (dibra) 07:40, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
How would you update the death toll for 2015 and 2016 for Yemeni/Saudi casualties? We have a final count for 2015 for Yemen which is 5979 on top of 46 casualties before the War started. Total for Yemen is quite clear at 6025. But for Saudi Arabia we have also a deathtoll of 375 civilians in Saudi Arabia since March 2015, published in 1 February 2016 with also a source quoting "80 mostly soldiers" . I would tend to indicate ~400 for Saudi Arabia in 2015. Wykx (talk) 21:03, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
A branch of ISIL has begun insurgency in Tunisia in summer 2015. Since then, 39 were killed in 2015 Sousse attacks, 13 people were killed in a suicide bombing and most recently 58 people were killed in fire exchanges between Tunisian Army and ISIL on the border with Libya. Another earlier attack in March 2015 with 24 deaths was blamed on Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade, but ISIL claimed responsibility. Anyway, we are over 100 cumulative deaths, which warrants inclusion. Adding ISIL insurgency in Tunisia.GreyShark (dibra) 10:21, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Currently green indicates deaths falling and red increasing. I understand that this represents green being good as deaths are falling and the opposite for red but at first glance to me it looked contradictory to the way the arrows are normally used for green increasing and red falling. What are other people's views on just the arrow showing the rise/fall or should the colours be switched to represent how they would in the vast majority of other documents? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSwagasaurusRex (talk • contribs) 18:49, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
Over the past couple of years we have a line of ISIL bombings in Turkey directed against Kurds and recently against government. It is much over 100 killed in those incidents, so it may warrant inclusion (as Turkey-ISIS conflict). Considering that Turkey is still a functional state, then PKK insurgency, Maoist insurgency in Turkey, DHKP/C insurgency in Turkey and now ISIL insurgency all can have an article of their own being separate events (though ISIL does target pro-PKK sites and peoples).GreyShark (dibra) 11:50, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Why is Turkey till Orange on the map? I know the PKK casualties include a lot of Iraqi bombing raid victims, but the 2015 deathtoll inside Turkey is surely over 1,000 when you combined PKK, TAK and ISIS actions + Turkish government actions as well. Anyone? Skycycle (talk) 11:58, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Massive casualties in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict over the past few days. It seems this new cycle of violence is making it to go one level up: above 100 killed from January and possibly closing to 1000 - a full scale war.GreyShark (dibra) 18:51, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
It must consider only the deaths that occurred in FATA district and not those that occurred across Pakistan. The deaths occurred in FATA district in 2015 are 1882 and 237 in 2016, updated to April 3, you can see the sources at this link.

More than 60,000 people were killed in Brazil in 2014. If the page considers 10k+ casualties a major war, then in Brazil we have a Third World War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.96.249.118 (talk) 21:18, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Armed conflicts consist in the use of armed force between two or more organized armed groups, governmental or non-governmental alike.[1] Interstate, intrastate and non-state armed conflicts are listed. For ongoing civil unrest and violence against protesters not escalating into armed conflict, see List of ongoing protests.
So I found out that there are several conflicts involving Sudan here. They are: War in Darfur, Sudanese conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, Sudanese nomadic conflicts and the South Sudanese Civil War. The problem is highlighted. It's like having in the list the "War on Terror" or "Arab Winter". The Sudanses nomadic conflicts include all the conflicts that already exist in this list, therefore, it should be removed. I am bringing this here to make sure I am not wrong.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 18:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
In light of the recent CIRA attack in Dublin I decided to check the overall death toll for the Dissident Irish Republican campaign from 1998 to 2016, in order to see if it fits the 100+ casualties parameter, so we can include it in the article again. I looked at the three main active groups and their activities, using Timeline of Real Irish Republican Army actions, Óglaigh na hÉireann (Real IRA splinter group) and Chronology of Continuity Irish Republican Army actions. Here is what I came up with in terms of number of people killed and injured due to the actions of these groups, including security forces, civilians, and members of the groups themselves:
(updated March 8 2016)
So it appears that while the overall article box needs an update to (at least) 54 killed since 1998, it is not enough to include on our list, correct? Skycycle (talk) 15:29, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Those sources are from a database that list every death ever during the Troubles and the ensuing dissident Loyalist and Republican campaigns. That was my criteria for reinclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leanseahy (talk • contribs) 14:59, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Last year we had good monthly reports on Afghanistan but I couldn't find a source in TOLOnews and currently Afghanistan is badly outdated. Someone have a monthly source or something? I searched but didn't find--Bolter21 (talk to me) 21:47, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
This source includes twelve Israeli victims of terror in 2016. Out of them, there are three who died in the Ankara Bombing that were recognize as terror victims (the source doesn't talk about IPC victims but terror victims in general) and therefore a simple filter will imply that nine were killed in the context of the IPC. The reason why I added this source was because the OCHA source for some odd reason list four Israelis, but in general there were eight Israeli casualties and another American citizen who in addition to dying in an attack, was also recognzied by Israel as a terror victim, so he is in the list. Can I put back the source or there's more to discuss?--Bolter21 (talk to me) 20:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
We might overthink to list Mexico as a Major war (16,660 Fatalities)? http://www.iiss.org/en/about%20us/press%20room/press%20releases/press%20releases/archive/2016-3b31/may-2fc6/acs-2016-press-release-b853 -- 14:50, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
The war in Mexico should not be considered as armed conflict, most of the deaths are due to a general crime and organized crime. When you consider the war in Mexico as armed conflict you should also consider the conflicts in El Salvador, Honduras, Belize and Guatemala. In these states the number of murders due to organized crime and the gangs clash is more than Mexico. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gu2082 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Dear Sir or Madame,
i tried to update the "Colombian Conflict" section, but it says a reference is out-of-place.
Would you please help me fix this problem, as the colour red is visible on the front page, informing the reader their is something wrong.
All the best, L.

Can we get a version of this that shows specific locations of conflicts rather than shading huge geographic regions. This map makes it seem like the entirety of Russia and China are embroiled in Civil War or something.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:48, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
Very well , I have revised down the deaths figures for the Irish conflict. I removed all deaths where it was uncertain as to whether they were related to the conflict or not. The figures now stand at 156 deaths in total, 1 in 2015 and 1 in 2016. Thus the conflict is most definitely eligible for inclusion on this list as I was previously stated. You threatened to report me and so I will not attempt to add it again for now but hopefully you will finally agree that it is obviously an active conflict and following the conditions of inclusion, it should be on this page.
Another thing I would say is that the name of the conflict should be changed on Wikipedia. While dissident republicans have been the principle non-state combatants in recent years, dissident Loyalist groups have also killed many people, particularly earlier in the conflict. Either way, it is undeniable that 156 have died and that there were deaths both in 2015 and in 2016. Leanseahy (talk) 21:29, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
I wonder if the Philippine Drug War can be considered an actual armed conflict like the Mexican drug war or not. Two or more organized armed groups fighting each other is the requisite for inclusion in this list according to our guidelines. In Mexico, we have organized and armed drug cartels fighting each other and the government. Is there something comparable in the Philippines, or is it just police killings of unorganized druck traffickers, as the infobox of the related article suggests?

ACLED reported a conflict event on 24/04/2016 that consisted of the the Military of Senegal and the MFDC fighting and listed that there were "heavy losses". Since the Casamance Conflict has claimed more than 5,000 lives since 1982 these recent casualties would qualify it as a active armed conflict once again. http://sidisanneh.blogspot.com/2016/04/senegal-army-kills-several-mfdc-rebels.html Here is a link to an article about the clash.

I’ve coloured Turkey red on the map. According to the Turkish government (), around 2,500 PKK rebels were killed in south-eastern Turkey since July 2015, which means that more than 1,000 people were killed in Turkey in the current or past year, or in both. According to this source, more than 1,000 people died in south-eastern Turkey in just the last three months. Nykterinos (talk) 16:25, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
It seems that by now ISIL operative and copy-cut attacks have become a campaign of terror in the West. I'm not sure whether we should make separate articles for each country (ISIL attack in France, ISIL attacks in US, etc.), or a single article ISIL terrorism in the West or similar. If we go for the latter - it is certainly valid for inclusion in the list, with couple of hundreds killed by now.GreyShark (dibra) 10:03, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm following on the recently erupting Kurdish rebellion in West Iran - some 40 people killed over the past two months, prompting its possible upgrade to 100+ soon in case the violence continues at such a rate.GreyShark (dibra) 13:21, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
According to Eritrean claim 200 Ethiopian soldiers were killed, which justifies inclusion in the 100+ section. Can we verify the Ethiopian casualty statement on the event?GreyShark (dibra) 13:29, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
@Leanseahy: I can see that you added up the Dissident Irish Republican campaign with 178 deaths, but without opening a discussion on this topic as custom for the ongoing military conflict project (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Incubator/Ongoing conflicts, where this list is relevant to). Of course if correct, this should be included; however we have debated this issue many times in the past and so far the majority of editors could not verify the 100+ death toll. Perhaps you are right, but i would like to hear opinions of other project members and guest editors before we include this. I must mention that the conflict is on our watch list, so we are aware of ongoing violence. Thanks.GreyShark (dibra) 15:16, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
These aren't dodgy sources, they are 100% reliable. I'm not trying to invent a war here, I am documenting a conflict. THere are other conflcits with similar numbers of deaths so I fail to see why a similar conflcit in Ireland doesn't count.User:Leanseahy 11:47, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
According to insurgent sources the fatalities in recent rebellion already well above 100 for this year, though according to government - around 80.GreyShark (dibra) 17:05, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
