Introduction to contentious topics

[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

"Formatting references" on Israel–Hamas war

[edit]

Your edits on Israel–Hamas war to "format some of the references" not only caused the page to exceed the Post-expand include size (preventing templates on the page from showing correctly), but it also broke the calls to {{portal bar}} and {{authority control}} at the bottom (even after you re-added accidentally removed content). Please do not change the module invocations back to template calls without verifying that it doesn't break other things on the page. --Ahecht (TALK

the RAFAC are no longer known as the Air Training Corps and hasn't for a long time. Please remove your revert. Joddd334 (talk) 20:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joddd334: I have been unable to find sources detailing this change, if you have sources please share them. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 21:13, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was never a big announcement it was just a change that gradually happened. It became particularly prominent post CFC when the term "Air Training Corps" became less used and "RAF Air Cadets" became more common. RAF wanted to have their name in the organisation to show that they were sponsors of the corps Joddd334 (talk) 23:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joddd334: Without a reliable source stating the change as official, the article will remain in a state that is in line with our current reliable sources. And with your description it seems that it's not a change to the actual entities that has occurred and more so something members have just adopted in a linguistic shift. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 13:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Robert McClenon. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tang Chia-kun without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The use of draft space is usually not required. Copying a page from draft space to article space is discouraged but permitted, and so blanking it is not permitted.

Robert McClenon (talk) 06:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Robert McClenon Hi Robert, the article was initially created and then moved to draft due to no citations and being a general stub, the original creator then ignored the draft and recreated the page in main space. The page requires a full review from draft and not just accepting the editor having bypassed the draft process. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 09:03, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:Cdjp1 - I largely agree with you, that the biography of a living person does not appear to be ready for article space. However, Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and the originator has chosen to bypass the draft process, and the guideline is clear that an originator may bypass the draft review process, see objecting to draftification. When an originator has chosen to bypass draft review, the article is in article space. Your choices and mine include nominating the article for deletion, tagging the article, reducing the article to a stub, or expanding the article. I don't plan to nominate the article for deletion, and do not recommend that it be nominated for deletion, because it is my opinion that the subject is notable. There isn't a procedure for enforcing a review from draft over the objection of the originator (and moving the article from draft to article is a means of objecting), except in the case of authors with conflict of interest, which this does not appear to be. If you have any further questions about how other editors can deal with an article that is moved into article space without review, we can discuss at the Village Pump or the Articles for Creation talk page.

Soviet POWs death toll

[edit]

I see that you're a frequent editor of the list of genocides page, and regularly edit and also format sources. There's a discussion between me and another user on the page "German atrocities committed against Soviet prisoners of war", where the work of Peter Calvocoressi and Guy Wint estimating 3.5 million Soviet POWs dead has been labeled as being WP:FRINGE and non-academic, yet it is cited as the upper limit on "List of genocides". Also, the work of Russian historians Boris Sokolov and Viktor Zemskov has been labeled WP:FRINGE, so I would appreciate input on the matter. Reaper1945 (talk) 03:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I linked to the diff that you need to self-revert. The other article was to prove that you have read and ignored my request. M.Bitton (talk) 17:50, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well it doesn't prove that, it shows I was editing after you had posted your first message. I didn't open my notifications until after your second message. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 17:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's no longer an issue since you made it clear that you have no intention of self-reverting. M.Bitton (talk) 18:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was trying to figure out what your claim actually was, sorry for that. Since I now understand the article and issue at hand, I will undo my recent change to keep the peace. But the opening still needs amending as currently it doesn't read right for it's purpose as a lede, as detailed in my edit commentary. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 18:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, this comment was in regards to the Palestine genocide accusation article, as that was the article I mistakenly thought was under discussion, and so my supposed revert there was the first I had done on that page. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 18:01, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, as there have been some complaints about the sources, I’m currently in the process of creating a table for the sources I dug up in the move discussion. Acknowledging that it’s probably a pain, would you mind giving it a quick look (on facts only, you’re under no obligations to endorse) once I’m done?

Did you intentionally effectively undo one of my citation format changes here at line 250? If so, I formatted it that way for a reason, because it's a pleading in a court case. If you're trying to maintain consistency, consider {{cite court}}, which also deviates a bit from the usual citation templates' format to use legal citation style, in accordance with at least the Chicago Manual of Style (that's the one I'm actually experienced with and can directly attest to, I hesitate to generalize about other style guides). (This is also just a bit too unusual of a citation [ICJ, ongoing, and still too early for even the orders to have been published in the ICJ reporter] to use that template; believe me, that was the first thing I reached for.) Kinsio (talkcontribs) 16:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did go ahead and reverse your re-addition of the New York Times "Read the ICJ ruling" source from the same edit. There's nothing on that page except an embed of the same PDF that's in the direct citation to the ICJ website that you kept. Kinsio (talkcontribs) 16:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies, I'm less familiar with citing legal proceedings, I've adapted it to the cite court template. If I've got anything wrong in the template, please correct it. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 16:43, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's still not quite right but I need to leave for church and it's not unusably broken or anything, just not in the proper format. I'll fix it when I get back, but I'd also like to explain to you why I think trying to force it into {{cite court}} is more confusing than helpful, if you'd be willing to indulge me. Kinsio (talkcontribs) 17:04, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my god, well for one thing, I was just looking back over what I said and I realized how consider {{cite court}} sounds 😭 What I was actually trying to say was that {{cite court}} demonstrates that it's normal to deviate from the usual citation format into a specifically legal citation format when you're citing court cases, based on how it's different from the typical CS1 style. It was probably so confusing when I said that, you tried your best to make it work, and then I said "actually {{cite court}} sucks" LOL. I'm so sorry. This is ultimately good though, because that {{cite court}} usage has gotten me to realize that even if it is normal to deviate to a legal citation format, in those citations I wrote I was sticking a bit too strictly to specifically Bluebook format, with stuff like the dates for instance. (So I can still use this to improve the consistency of my citations.) I can still give that explanation if you'd like but the point of it was mostly going to be to justify not using {{cite court}} since I wasn't sure why you did, but now that I realize I just phrased stuff weirdly and you misunderstood me I'm not so sure that it's necessary.

Edit summary

[edit]

I also noticed that your edit summary for the edit we discussed didn't appear to adequately describe the change you made. Specifically, your edit summary didn't reflect your deletion of He further added, "We have been accustomed to genocidal rhetoric that comes from Hamas ...", which is a pretty significant change not to mention. I'm investigating and trying to figure out what I want to do about the edits introducing and reintroducing that passage and it would've been much easier to navigate if I didn't have to figure out that the deletion was tucked away in an edit summarized as formatted some of the references. Just try to keep that in mind in the future, thanks :) Kinsio (talkcontribsrights) 00:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Settler colonialism

[edit]

I see you reverted to an inaccurate description of ‘settler colonialism’. Not sure why. ‘Settler colonialism’ is an academic theory. By definition, ‘settler colonialism’ is not something that occurs; rather, it is a theory used by _some_ scholars to _describe_ something that occurs. It is not a thing or a fact; it’s a sociological theory.

I don’t have time for Wikipedia edit battles so I won’t be commenting further, but it’s odd to see Wikipedia editors fail to grasp such elementary distinctions. Kotzker (talk) 16:45, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure this is the case. Does our article on andesite say "Andesite is a human-made classification for certain types of rocks depending on its formation and silica content"? or "Genocide is a sociological theory invented by Raphael Lemkin and a legally defined crime according to the Genocide Convention"?

Genocide Sidebare

[edit]

Hello, I came across the back and forth on two different version of the side bar. There is the original longstanding version and the proposed one you reinstated here. Though looking at the talk page, it doesn’t seem consensus was reached on changing to the new version you reverted to. Despite both sides of the aisle saying “see talk page” in their edit diffs. Seems like an edit war going on.

Is there going to be a RFC to decide between the two versions? And until then shouldn’t the original version remain until the results are in?

It is causing confusion as with the current version, the sidebar is being removed from all originally listed Genocide example articles listed prior since all those events are removed in the new proposed version. Cheers. OyMosby (talk) 15:59, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From my reading of the discussion, there is greater support for not listing any genocides in the sidebar, based largely on the argument that it crosses over into OR. The "{{Genocide topics}}" template currently uses different logic, and has a more expansive list than the sidebar had, so that may help. In discussing with other editors over the inclusion of the sidebar, there are the articles Genocides in history and List of genocides, as well as the [[Category:Genocides]] (and it's subcategories), where if there is any argument that an event is genocidal in nature, it should be added to the category. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 16:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removing space before slash in <ref> tags

[edit]

Just curious because I noticed part of the "formatting" you did in your latest edit to Gaza genocide was removing spaces before the slash in self-closing <ref> tags of existing citations: is that considered bad? The only straight(ish) answer I could get from googling around is that the only reason it's ever been necessary is for compatibility in XHTML documents, per this Stack Overflow question (well, one answer claims that [t]he proper way to do it is without the extra space as this is something XHTML inherited from XML, but I don't really follow the logic of how that would make either way more or less "proper").

[edit]

I noticed you are formatting some references. Do you do all this work manually, or is there some tooling out there to help with this? DMH223344 (talk) 17:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DMH223344: there's probably some tools I could find, or I could build some script to automate a bunch of it, but no, it's all manual. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 20:12, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Can you share some guidlines on formatting? Another question I had was: I noticed you added `page needed` when citations included a chapter reference. Isnt it enough to just point a reader to a specific chapter? DMH223344 (talk) 15:38, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
epubs for example often do not have page numbers DMH223344 (talk) 15:38, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do think it should be sufficient to provide a quote. Even my pdf copy of "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" somehow does not have page numbers (pdf page numbers would not correspond to the print copy page numbers). DMH223344 (talk) 15:58, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Epubs are a bane in my work. If we don't have the page numbers easily at hand, the chapter and quote should suffice. I added the "page needed" template for every citation where they had the "pages" parameter present, but did not list a page. I have most of the books which have the "page needed" template beside them in that article, so I should be able to pull them, but I can't promise this will be any time soon.
As to "guidance", I just fill out as many of the parameters in the relevant template as possible, if I'm working from the source. If I am converting an unformatted reference to a relevant template, it's picking the most appropriate template and just adding the parameters that are already present. If I'm not being too lazy, I may check the original source to fill out additional parameters. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 17:32, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Estimates of casualties in Gaza war

[edit]

Hello, I've found a French language source that states that according to Netanyahu "14.000 combattants ont été tués et probablement environ 16.000 civils". So the remnants of the government of Hamas in Gaza and the Israeli government had at that time about the same estimate for the aggregate number of fatalities in the Gaza war (30.000 vs. 35.000). (https://www.bfmtv.com/international/moyen-orient/palestine/guerre-a-gaza-netanyahu-evoque-un-bilan-de-30-000-morts-dont-la-moitie-de-combattants-du-hamas_AD-202405140173.html) I think that one could reference that article from BFM TV in English Wikipedia. --Wikifizierung (talk) 09:34, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Japanese Communist Party. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Isaidnoway (talk) 22:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regroup on genocide article consistency

[edit]

Hey! It sound like you have a clearer idea of what still needs to be done with regard making genocide lists consistent. Unfortunately Genocide list article has mostly been sidetracked these past few months so not sure where the best place to coordinate all this is—blindlynx 17:30, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no suggestion where best to coordinate.
There are 4 lists that should be looked at:
  1. List of genocides
  2. Genocides in history: before WWI; WWI through WWII; 1946 to 1999; 21st century
  3. Genocide of indigenous peoples
  4. Template:Genocide navbox
Targeted sources for expanding the lists are:

For coordinating, it would probably be best to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Death and Wikipedia:WikiProject Human rights. Though I have no experience in either project. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 16:18, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome. I don't have experience with either. I guess the issue with using any of teh pages in question is they're rather busy with other stuff atm—blindlynx 17:02, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gaza Genocide

[edit]

Hi!

I just wanted to say that I did not remove the estimate unilaterally. An admin suggested temporarily removing the estimate whilst some kind of discussion occurs, so I followed their suggestion by starting an RfC and removed it per their suggestion. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have made such a bold edit given how contentious it was and the previous edit warring. Originalcola (talk) 23:36, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Originalcola apologies, id missen that in Valeree's conment. I have self reversed. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 08:41, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indian Coast Guard

[edit]

This audit report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India list the ranks and insignia of Indian Coast Guard with images. However, some of the insignias doesn't completely match with the ICG template. 117.230.93.244 (talk) 16:28, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better late…

[edit]

I think I might find some time to finally add the missing German law professors to the genocide article. That would be Ambos, Goldmann, Hartwig and Müller, Khan, Sassoli and Diggelmann as well as Walter, right?

However, there is a minor problem regarding this: I have a COI for one of them, but I’m not really looking to dox myself. Personally, I would probably just write it up and post it on the talk page, disclosing it as “COI for all of them”; do you think that would be in line with the relevant policy, or is this likely to get me in trouble? FortunateSons (talk) 18:20, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declaring the COI like that, and giving it to the talk page to consider, should be ok, though I'm not well read on policies. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you! FortunateSons (talk) 18:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think? Any objections?
In December 2023, Kai Ambos, a professor of international and criminal law at the University of Göttingen and judge at the Kosovo Special Tribunal, warned that potentially genocidal statements by politicians, while potentially beneficial for proving specific intent, could not necessarily be applied to the evaluation of military decisions. [2] In January 2024, Christian Walter, a Professor of Public Law and Public International Law at the LMU in Munich, argued in the Verfassungsblog that the extend of harm to both civilians and infrastructure weren’t conclusive, and that attempts to evacuate civilians were an indication against genocidal intent. [3]. Matthias Goldmann, a professor of international law at the EBS University, stated in April that there a conviction before the ICJ was uncertain and that there was no “smoking gun” proving the special intent. [4]
Marco Sassoli and Oliver Diggelmann, professors of international law in Gevena and Zurich, argued in May that while some statements by politicians may be genocidal, the same did not apply to the actions of the Israeli military; Diggelmann believes that a conviction for genocide is unlikely.[5] Andreas Müller, a professor of international law at the University of Basel, stated the the term genocide was being used as a term of criticism instead of according to its legal definition, and added that “there was no sufficient ground of genocide if one takes the legal term seriously”.[6] Daniel-Erasmus Khan, professor of international law at the university of the Bundeswehr in Munich, stated in June that there was no clear evidence of a special intent among Israeli leadership.[7] FortunateSons (talk) 19:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Generally ok, my only suggestion is you don't need to list the university each is based at. Posting this to the article talk page will have others go over it as well of course. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 19:32, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That’s a good idea, thank you! FortunateSons (talk) 20:32, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
