Image issues[edit]

It is never appropriate to upload an image you do not own if you do not understand WP:FU. Non-free images must be properly licensed, and they must be included in an article, and they must have a proper fair use rationale. If you do not know if an image is copyrighted or not, then we must always be cautious and assume it is until proven otherwise. I have deleted the image you uploaded because it is likely a copy violation. Please read up on our image use policy and ask questions if you have any before uploading images you don't own. Feel free to upload photographs that you have taken yourself and that you wish to license under a free license (such as the GFDL or CC-SA). -Andrew c ^[talk] 04:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

September 2010[edit]

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Talk:Beached whale. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write practically anything you want.

Problems with introduction and another section[edit]

"The Eastern military strategy differs from the Western by focusing more on asymmetric warfare and fooling of the enemy"

I deleted the sentence above in the introduction, because Japanese samurais often fought one on one duels in a battle and it was part of the samurai culture. The Art of War talks about the importance of deception the enemy, but does not emphasizes it too much. (Note fooling the enemy is a major part of any warfare. Read about the elaborate deceptions before D-Day. Entire fake armies of tanks, planes, made out of balloons. Fake paratroopers dropped with Radios on D Day. etc. with Patton, one of the best WII generals commanding it. Deception is employed by any great strategist )

Asymetric warfare is not particularly focused on when I read the Art of War. The statement above is biased.

As a general rule, Asymetric warfare is often used more by armies with less resource. i.e. Vietnam war, Japanese Kamikazes. In modern times, that may be true that Eastern strategy has relied more on that.

The part on Genghis Khan --

The main strategy of Genghis Khan was not psychological terror.

In combat, the most common strategy for the mongols was to use feigned retreat to draw enemies to chosen strategic location.

In conquering cities, the most common strategy was to let refugees enter cities that they would conquer with two primary goals:

1) primary goal of letting refugees deplete the cities' resource in case of a prolonged siege 2) primary goal was that the refugees spread the terror of fighting the mongols. the mongols usually offered the cities no slaugther only if they surrendered without fighting.

Most cities did not surrendered and the Mongols would not put their primary emphasis psychological terror. it was more of a supporting role.
