Npov?
[edit]"The Iraqis had fought an excellent defensive battle at Basra, as they had at succeeded in fighting the Iranians to a complete standstill thwarting their obsession with capturing the city. The end of the battle saw a considerable breakdown of Iranian morale as hereafter only a small percent signed up for volunteering in the fanatical revolutionary guards or basij."
NPOV issue? Rest of article doesn't really give the impression that Iraqi defense was "excellent", and certain words such as "obsession" and "fanatical" might be technically correct but strikes me as perhaps too strong. 2A02:1406:15:BC16:79CE:DC52:6563:7407 (talk) 11:24, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
This page needs protection
[edit]Recently, a great amount of WP:Vandalism has occurred on this page, attempting to increase the (already enormous) Iranian casualties recorded in the source provided, without provided an alternative source. This page needs at least some levels of protection to prevent this from happening in the future. Tomissonneil (talk) 19:12, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Commenting again to say that the vandalism has continued. This page is in urgent need of protection as soon as possible to prevent this from happening. Tomissonneil (talk) 06:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
