Editing Talk:Korean conflict (section)

== Australia as a supporter of South Korea ==

I had decided to start a separate discussion on either we should add Australia or not. Considering that there are a lot of sources about Australia supporting South Korea though military means from the 1950s till this day, I think this is a good time to debate on whether we should add Australia or not.

::You didn't provide any thoughts about whether we should add Australia or not. We can add info about Australia's involvement in the conflict. There are incidents such as the [[Pong Su incident]]. As I stated before, there are hundreds of articles that proves that Australia supported South Korea.

:::We have had several discussions above about whether we should include long lists of supporters and the consensus is not to. I don't see any evidence to support Australia being included here. Please note there is a separate article on the [[Korean War]]. The Pong Su incident was a drug importation case, so I don't think that fits here. [[Operation Argos]] which I think you are referring to above is part of an international effort to enforce UN sanctions involving "Australia, Canada, France, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States". There is nothing to say that Australia is key to this "international effort".[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 23:27, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
:::I did provide thoughts. The status of Australia is not a "key fact" that already appears in the article. Australia dooesn't even get mentioned in the entire article, the closest it gets is the claim {{tq|while South Korea was backed by the United States and its Western allies}} refers to Australia. Even if that sentence was amended to include Australia, a one-word mention is still not a "key fact". Also, I previously referred to [[Template:Infobox military conflict]] which says {{tq|When there is a large number of participants, it may be better to list only the three or four major groups on each side of the conflict, and to describe the rest in the body of the article}}.
