Mention of Lojane edit
@Based guyy Hello. Please provide a page number and a quote from the source The Former Yugoslavia at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century: A Guide to the Economies in Transition, where it mentions Lojane. I have full access to the source and nowhere have I encountered Lojane. StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:13, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah I had readen it now more carefully and seen that there is no mention of the village of Lojane I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding @StephenMacky1 Based guyy (talk) 13:58, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. We need to stick to verifiable information. So, the article still needs a cleanup. By the way, where are you coming up with those numbers of tanks and helicopters? Could you provide quotes? StephenMacky1 (talk) 14:20, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- From Irish times where it says: Thousands of civilian refugees left Vaksince and Lojane during a government offensive yesterday in which tanks, artillery and helicopter gunships were used against suspected guerrilla positions. I go the information from there. @StephenMacky1 Based guyy (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- No numbers are mentioned there though. Only the CNN source mentions 3 tanks, but it's about Vaksince, not Lojane. Thanks for the information you've put here so far, but you gotta be careful in your summarization of sources. Make sure that they actually verify the information. Also, a word of advice: Don't immediately jump the gun to revert when you get reverted. If an editor reverts you, they may have a valid reason to do so and, in that case, it's better to discuss with them in a talk page, in order to reach some sort of understanding. It's about following WP:3RR too. Vandalism also has a specific meaning on Wikipedia, so be wary of accusing others of vandalism. It can be considered a personal attack if it's unsubstantiated.

- Ok, thank you very much for the advice and now what are we gonna do for the strength? Are we gonna put it as unknown or to let it stay as it is? Based guyy (talk) 22:24, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Obviously unknown. I've noticed that those two helicopters are also mentioned in the context of Vaksince. StephenMacky1 (talk) 22:38, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- I think that we should put in strength as several helicopters and several tanks, what do you think? Based guyy (talk) 23:23, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- That's vague. We could insert "Unknown number of tanks and helicopters" instead. StephenMacky1 (talk) 13:23, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
