On the top of the article, it states that the text is too long. What would the solution be then? To summarize the information, or delete some?

@

Thepanthersfan201: The tag hereby says "This article's lead section may be too long for the length of the article." That means the article should be extended substantially and then the lead may be summarized thereby. Regards — Meghmollar2017 (UTC) — 14:59, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

Twice across the article, once each in the June–September and October–December subsections, the term BOP is used. The use of the term Border Outpost in October-December makes it clear this is the intended meaning, but this follows the first use of BOP and is not correctly linked to the abbreviation when it does occur. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations the term should be expressed as "Border Outpost (BOP)" in its first use in June-September and the use of Border Outpost in October-December should be changed to BOP, though it would be reasonable to simply replace both uses of BOP with Border Outpost given that it is not a commonly used abbreviation and only occurs twice in the article.

The figure of 280,000 Pakistani paramilitary forces in the infobox is misleading and should be removed; as the reference itself notes, these are figures for the entire military on both fronts combined, while the article (and the rest of the strength figures) are about the Eastern front alone.
