Current issues, include the inclusion of the term
"Operation Just Desserts" in the
[[2006 Israeli-attacks on Lebanon]] article in the lede. Likewise the article
[[Operation Summer Rains]] also a military, hence POV nomenclature and hence needs
renaming, though I cannot myself determine what to call it.
Is it an "incursion" (ie. "a limited incursion into the country of
Congress") or an
"invasion", a "retaliation" or a "retribution" etc.
If it's an official name, then that's what it's called. What's next,
renaming articles on companies and products because their names were
chosen to have positive associations? We could have such winners as
"[[computer company named after irrelevant fruit]] is the maker of
the [[Apple variety chosen because the name has a snappy abbreviation]]."

Several months ago, I actually found myself confronting a person who
didn't think Wikipedia should acknowledge that the [[LGM-118A
Peacekeeper]] is called the "Peacekeeper."
