I wrote this on Talk:List of battles, copying it here too:

There are a lot of wars listed here. IMHO these should be removed. Surely there are famous battles in these wars we could list instead? Same thing for all the "Operations". -- Jniemenmaa 10:05, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)

Need to add: ~1979, Iraq invasion of Iran, war that followed

How about some of the South American wars or African wars GerardM 10:42, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Just for clarification im assuming this page and its like are for significant military actions that occured within the context of a pre-existing war/operation/taskforce. The battles that occured within Afghanistan for example should be included as well as a general listing for 'US invades Afghanistan'. I have included accidental incidents like Iran air 655 for those reasons, it was an intentional military act that occured under Operation Earnest Will.

The Battle of Bregalnica (pronounced Bregalnitsa) is missing. It was a decisive Serbian defensive victory in the Second Balkan War. The battle of Kalimantsi listed here was a minor and inconclusive engagement compared to this battle.
