This article has been checked against the followingcriteria for B-class status:
@Applodion I'll accept that I may have made a mistake for what is and isn't Operation Sunset. But for one: "Air battles in February 1999" is still a vague, uninformative title, and for another, "February 1999" does not explain how and to what extent this Operation Sunset overlaps with that.
The battle timescale offered in the article isFebruary 21 to February 26; however, an Ethiopian government spokesperson toldThe Guardian that Operation Sunset happened betweenFebruary 23 and February 26, andBBC News said onMarch 2, 1999:"News of the success of Ethiopia'sOperation Sunset offensive in the western Badme region was greeted in the capital with a sense of satisfaction, rather than jubilation."
@XTheBedrockX: No offense, but "Operation Sunset" was -as this article, and other sources say- a ground offensive. This article is about air battles. As you yourself pointed out, the air battles don't even completely match the offensive's timescale. That's the main reason why the article name is vague; it does not fit into a more descriptive naming pattern (for example, "Air battles during Operation Sunset" would probably be incorrect). Either way, no harm was done by your move, and stuff like this just happens.Applodion (talk)09:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
