Editing Talk:Korean conflict (section)

== Infobox ==

What is the source for the information in the Infobox? The list of Belligerents seems highly questionable, as is the statement that the conflict is part of the War on Terror.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 08:02, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
:I agree that the infobox is dubious. Actually I think the whole infobox could very well be removed (it is a fairly new addition, anyway). For the moment I will only remove the parts that are most questionable.
:I'll remove the lists of "Supported by:" Almost none of the countries in the list are mentioned in the article. If such a list shall be recreated, each country in the list will have to be mentioned (with source) in the article itself, or has to be sourced separately.
:The list of "Commanders and leaders" is useless, since it is only a list of the heads of states in the two countries and gives no information whatsoever about the conflict per se. I will not remove this, but I think we should consider removing that part even if the infobox stays.
:I'll also remove "Part of Cold War and War on Terror". The connection to War on Terror is extremely flimsy. The connection to Cold war is somewhat more reasonable, but since the conflict started before the Cold War and has continued for so many years after the Cold War, it is too weak.
:The even more recent addition of navboxes at the bottom is just as dubious. I will remove them, two of them per the same rationale as already mentioned and the third because the Korean conflict is not part of the Korean war, it is the other way round. If there was a navbox for "Korean conflict", that could very well be in the "Korean War" article, but not the opposite way. Anyway, all three navboxes are covered by [[WP:Bidirectional]]. --[[User:TU-nor|T*U]] ([[User talk:TU-nor|talk]]) 16:15, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

::I think the whole thing should be removed. It serves no useful purpose.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 20:13, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

:::And now we are told that China supported the DPRK up to 2014. There is no mention of this watershed moment in the article. This is just a vehicle for lazy editors to put their own idiosyncratic interpretation on the conflict without having to provide sourced text for the article.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 08:43, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
:::I've removed it. As it stands it is simply confusing.--[[User:Jack Upland|Jack Upland]] ([[User talk:Jack Upland|talk]]) 22:52, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
