– The current titles are not easy to parse because it is unclear what "Transjordan" is supposed to indicate. The proposed titles are the official Ottoman designations as used by Erickson 2001. I would have not problem with alternate descriptive titles or with the official British names. I thought about moving Third Transjordan attack as well, but as that name is less bad and I do not have a good alternative, I left it out of this RM. Srnec (talk) 01:00, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
