The 1919-22 events can be described as a Greco-Turkish War because the two factions were the Kingdom of Greece and the Turkish National Movement, but the factions in this war were the Kingdom of Greece and the Ottoman Empire, so shouldn't this be titled Greco-Ottoman War (1897)?--— ZjarriRrethues —talk 10:08, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
It is a common name issue: most wars the Ottomans were in are commonly called "X-Turkish War", like the Russo-Turkish Wars. The difference between "Greco-Turkish War" and "Greco-Ottoman War" is overwhelming if you check Google Books. Constantine ✍ 13:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I notice the casualty numbers seem to keep being deleted, even when sourced. Why?
For instance the last time they were up they were sourced In Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Encyclopedia of Casualty and Other Figures, 1492-2015, 4th ed. By Micheal Clodfelter. The numbers were clearly listed on pages 196 and 197. If there is no dispute will go ahead a fix. - DannyUK190 4:52 PM, 1 August (UTC)
