Suez 1956 inconclusive?
[edit]It is just simply inaccurate to categorize the outcome of this conflict as "inconclusive". Suez is the end of Britain as a Great Power. Within a decade the entire empire in Africa and Southeast Asia is no more. It is a political and strategic defeat of the first order. It illustrates how a tactical victory on the battlefield means nothing in the face of strategic defeat.

[edit]Can someone help me with the outcomes section for the Battle of Muddy Flat?
There's a random extra bullet point in there that for some reason will not go away. Thanks. Historyguy1138 (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

"List of wars" or "list of conflicts"
[edit]The article title List of wars involving the United Kingdom uses the word "wars" but then immediately broadens the article's scope to "conflicts" including "militarised interstate disputes". What's a better title for this page that better indicates its scope to readers? Ed [talk] [OMT] 17:25, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
This list's tables use color to communicate victories, defeats, etc. Without another way to communicate that info, those tables contravene our accessibility guidelines at MOS:COLOR. (I'm also curious if the chosen colors provide enough contrast, but I'm not an expert in that.) Ed [talk] [OMT] 17:26, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
