RenameEdit

• I've done the merge from Fights and attacks and Battles into here as discussed on those pages. However, perhaps "Conflict on the Island" is a more appropriate title as it aims at Island confrontations. --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:50, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Great job! I hoped my outline helped - it looks like you stuck to it, but made some positive changes, too.  Kevrock   talk  contribs   12:34, 25 July 2008 (PDT)

Well there are conflicts on this page that aren't on the island so it can't be "Conflict on the Island". I think we should rename it to "Battles" because these are all battles, right? -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 09:52, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Don't start that argument again about a difference between a battle and a fight/attack. It can stay as just Conflict then! --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:53, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

I'm not starting an argument, I'm just suggesting a better name! -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 09:54, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Ok well for the record, there is a lengthy debate at Battles about the difference between battles and fights and attacks, where there was no consensus. --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:56, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

Well since it is now merged, don't you think "Battles" is a better name that describes the page? Fights and attacks are still "battles" aren't they? I'm just suggesting another name besides "Conflict". -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 09:58, 23 July 2008 (PDT)

No, they are not. Read my lengthy explanation why and the discussions here: Talk:Battles  Kevrock   talk  contribs   12:30, 25 July 2008 (PDT)

FactionsEdit

In the new Dharma Special Access video titled "LOST Starter Kit", I was happy to hear that they referred to the Survivors, the Others, and the mercenaries as opposing "factions", which basically validates our reasoning for rearranging the conflict/battles article into the new format. Yay for us!  Kevrock   talk  contribs   11:53, 25 November 2008 (PST)

Pala Ferry Shootout?Edit

I was wondering if maybe an article should be created for Jin, Sayid and Sun's shootout with the Others in S3? I mean it was a battle or at least a skirmish. --LOST-The Cartographer 06:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes I completely agree - I will make an article for this now. I think the fact that this shootout had fatalities qualifies it as a "battle". -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 19:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Survivors Vs OthersEdit

taken from the first line: "The next conflict on the Island was the battle between the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 and the Others. The Others first became known to the Tailies when, on the second day, they attacked the camp and kidnapped two of them. ("The Other 48 Days")" wasnt it the first night and 3 were taken?. and what about the at least 9 more taken?--Mistertrouble189 19:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Pistol Border?Edit

I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else think the the pistols designating a "conflict" is a little too "cutesy" and odd looking? I think the rest of the template makes it pretty clear that the article refers to a conflict. Perhaps we could have something less intrusive? It's just an aesthetic choice, but it looks unprofessional. --Uncertainty 16:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Everything looks normal to me... not sure what you mean. --Hugo815 16:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I was referring to the conflict template... http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Battle I think the pistols are unnecessary. Just my opinion obviously, I was just wondering if anyone agreed. --Uncertainty 14:44, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Past tense or present tense? Edit

Should this article be written in past tense or present tense? --  Blackout0189    talk    contribs    email   14:18, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I have rewritten this article into the past tense (a big job) and would appreciate someone checking it out to see if I missed anything. Thanks! Shambala108 04:48, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
