How about changing the name "indian rebellion of 1857" to " the first was of indian independence LollipopGuys (talk) 12:55, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Discused (and rejected) many times for every argument (you have added no new ones) see talk page archives. Slatersteven (talk) 12:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Unclear what "talk page archives" is being referred to here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.227.1.21 (talk) 21:18, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Look at the top and you will see "Archives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14". Slatersteven (talk) 11:35, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Civil war?
editWhy does "Indian civil war" redirect to this article. Calling the 1857 war a "civil war" while one could argue has some truth is some ways,it's still rather controversial in my opinion. Anonpriest (talk) 14:12, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Was there another one? Slatersteven (talk) 14:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- None as far as I know. Anonpriest (talk) 14:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Then (assuming people are entering this search) this is what they would be looking for. Slatersteven (talk) 14:17, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have never heard anyone call this a civil war. It has always been called either a rebellion,mutiny or war of independence so I doubt anyone would be searching for this when thinking of an Indian civil war. However this is just a minor thing that I noticed so no problems if nothing is changed Anonpriest (talk) 14:22, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- That is a valid objection, if no one is us8ing it, why do we need it? So any defence of it form anyone?Slatersteven (talk) 14:24, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Trans-Egypt route
edit@Fowler&fowler, I think one way to fit the bulk of my edit into the article is to simply find a part of the article describing British troop movements/composition, and mention that 5,000 of the troops came through Egypt. Is there any part of the article where that might seamlessly fit in? GreekApple123 (talk) 23:44, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done The Indian rebellion cannot be templated with current links to one successor state to the British raj of 90 years later. Also, these links are not relevant. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 20:58, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
