Are there any sources that actually refer to this event as the "Battle of Gao"? Per WP:COMMONNAME, I'm not sure we should call it that unless our sources are. Khazar2 (talk) 04:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
To Battle of Gao and Timbuktu? the latter is larger now and more notableLihaas (talk) 14:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
This should be undone, there was no fighting in Timbuktu at all, the MNLA withdrew without a fight. The so called Battle of Timbuktu that the page asserts, did not even happen.XavierGreen (talk) 14:45, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Battle of Gao #2 is ongoing. Any suggestion for this? Such as naming this as Battle for Azawad (in this case, we can put in every detail and fights between MNLA and islamic groups), and name the new battle between French and mali versus islamic groups as Battle of Gao. Kadrun (talk) 18:24, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
So far the presence of Moktar Bel Moktar in the infobox seems to entirely rely on a quotation from Azawad's Vice President. Can a reliable source be found for this information instead? Khazar2 (talk) 05:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Is Sidi Yahya Mosque the same as Sidi El Mokhtar ? Found mention of the latter without the Sidi prefix on the wikilink, but im not sure. They sem to be th enotable ones in the area and are mentioned in the UNESCO link on the page.(Lihaas (talk) 12:28, 30 June 2012 (UTC)).
Im a bit weary of listing the MNLA under Azawad because its not explicit that the Islamists renounce the claim there, they did sign the cooperation agreement and, although they couldnt work together, they may still recognise sovereingty from Mali (after the destructions i dont think they recognise Bamakos writ)(Lihaas (talk) 22:53, 30 June 2012 (UTC)).
What is Timbuktu placed in the title and why in the "Battle of Gao" there the destruction of religious tombs in Timbuktu? This is totally different. The battle in Gao is not the destruction of religious tombs in Timbuktu. It is apples and oranges.--Remzone (talk) 20:56, 3 July 2012 (UTC)4
Basically, I don't see why we have a link to the page Aftermath of the Libyan civil war on the grounds that both featured destruction of Sufi shrines, when those events aren't even covered on the page linked to. --Yalens (talk) 21:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Per this, the links are of more than "low value" as it adds context to what is being said. Also per IAR against MOSl; and the Tuareg rebellion page upon editor insistence to stick on overlinks despite te rules where IAR was implicitly invoked.Lihaas (talk) 13:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I wrote this page about what happenned in Gao, the military battle between the MNLA and the Islamists. An user named Lihaas is hijacking this page, renaming it without asking and complaining when I take it back to his original name.
The Battle of Gao is not the destruction of some tombs in Timbuktu. Different places, differents events, different page. This page is exclusively about the military battle in Gao.
If Lihaas you want to talk about Timbuktu, go start this page. Here, you are just hijacking my page and doing stupid things with it. "Battle of Timbuktu" when there has been no battle in Timbuktu. "Capture of Timbuktu" like you proposed is a similar failure since Timbuktu was already at the hand of the islamist. Just give up and start your own page with this different event.--Remzone (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
These are in italics (and more so on GA/FA). [7][8]Lihaas (talk) 18:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that Islamist_destruction_of_Timbuktu_heritage_sites might be deleted and merged. I have backed up the original article on my new web site in case you need it . James Michael DuPont (talk) 06:47, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
