Title

Why is the title of this page named after the government codeword for this attack? Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and should use the term 'battle' as in the first and second battles of fallujah

Hello. I'm kpoalvin and wanted to let you know there was page about this offensive made the day the operation started, we should transfer the info on one page and pass it to the other — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpoalvin (talk • contribs) 15:17, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes change it to Third Battle of Fallujah.Shadow4dark (talk) 02:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This would NOT be the "Third Battle of Fallujah." There was another 5-day battle before this one, during which ISIL captured Fallujah, in early January 2014. If we rename it so, it should be to "Fourth Battle of Fallujah." LightandDark2000 (talk) 07:22, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But that one in early 2014 was dubbed Fall of Fallujah (2014), maybe because there was not a real battle. Even if you're probably right we should follow the most common naming in the sources.--Gerry1214 (talk) 12:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The title should be relabeled to Battle of Fallujah (2016), most english language sources refer to it as battle in fallujah or battle of fallujah. Since we have other articles on other battles that have occured in the city, i believe simply listing it as Battle of Fallujah (2016) would be most appropriate.XavierGreen (talk) 14:09, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree I support Battle of Fallujah (2016)

If you notice a cite error with one of the references it was mistake I made as I thought the wording that I was editing was the title in order to change it to the title suggested above. Edit I've also seen some of the sources just to get causality counts for both sides,some of them don't add up as this wikipedia page said that 379 Isis militants have been killed so far however one source mentioned that around 103 militants have been killed since Monday so there could be a slight error with the causality count — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.106.142.1 (talk) 07:07, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
