Krikor Bogharian moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Krikor Bogharian. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JoeNMLC (talk) 14:25, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JoeNMLC, while I appreciate patrollers, the draftification is clearly inappropriate, because the article cites two scholarly sources that extensively discuss the article subject, and also support all of the content in the article. (t · c) buidhe 15:41, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did not know that "Further reading" entries were sources. Thanks for letting me know. Still learning something new every day. Cheers, JoeNMLC (talk) 15:44, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Philippe Petain

Hey, some editor on Wikipedia Commons opted to unilaterally close the discussion you and I were involved in regarding the current lede image for Philippe Pétain on the grounds no valid reason was given for deletion. Is that permissible? Emiya1980 (talk) 00:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: In your post on the Rfc regarding Pétain‘s lede image, you indicated it wasn’t the first time that Yann has run roughshod over valid copyright concerns raised by other editors. If that’s the case, have you thought about reporting him to other admins? Emiya1980 (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Genocide article

IMO you are doing much-needed and really sterling work in 'pruning' and updating this bloated article. I hope it doesn't seem as though I'm merely 'sniping from the sidelines' while letting you do all the 'heavy lifting' (mixed metaphor?). I happily admit to knowing less about the academic aspect of the topic than you do and also to not having access to any half-decent libraries or academic sources. Pincrete (talk) 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pincrete no worries I appreciate your feedback on the talk page. However, I accessed most of the sources via WP:The Wikipedia Library which you should also be able to use. (t · c) buidhe 14:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

harv/sfn no-target errors in German atrocities committed against Soviet prisoners of war

Hi, in this edit to German atrocities committed against Soviet prisoners of war you introduced references to "Tooze 2017". You also introduced a source "Tooze 2018". As a result of the mis-match the article is added to Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. Should the sfn refs be changes to 2018, or the source changed to 2017, or should both be changed to something else? DuncanHill (talk) 22:05, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Antisemitism in Germany article

Hi, thank you for raising your concern. The wording of “Deplatforming and arrest of Jews” lacks neutrality. It risks conveying to third-country readers that there is some kind of pogroms going on in Germany against the surviving Jews. It also overlaps with “Reception” and should be combined as one for better arrangement.

I agree with you with regard to the LRB, but not the others as I would like to see credible evidence of the reliability of the figures whose claims are cited for justifying the point of view.

There is also an issue of undue weight being given to critics of “anti-antisemitism in Germany”, which appears to (1) defeat the purpose of the article (2) downplay the severity of antisemitic hate crimes in Germany as reported by the Statista [1], Politico [2] and Human Rights Watch [3]. Steven1991 (talk) 15:55, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not about " antisemitic hate crimes in Germany", there is a separate article antisemitism in Germany where that is covered. I think if you look at sources about *anti-antisemitism*, our article represents them pretty fairly—it has not been positively received by external observers. The deplatforming and arrest of Jews is an actual action by German state and institutions according to anti-antisemitism policy, so it does not belong in the reception section.

I don't mean to go into WP:NOTFORUM, but if what you're saying is that German Jews deserve better and more effective strategies for protecting them from hate crimes, I would agree 100%. (t · c) buidhe 16:11, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look. I'm glad we can put aside the concern about the London Review of Books. The other sources marked with an "Unreliable source?" tag were:

The peer-reviewed Journal of Genocide Research
Deutsche Welle, the German equivalent of the BBC World Service
Die Tageszeitung, a major German national daily (traditionally associated with the Green Party)

Those sources are surely above reproach. A look at their Wikipedia articles will demonstrate this beyond a shadow of a doubt. The other two sources tagged were:

Momus.ca, a Canadian art magazine – fine for this content, I would have thought, but now supplemented with Haaretz
Novara Media – this one I agree is a bit weak; now replaced/supplemented with The Guardian and Berliner Morgenpost

Talk:2020 ARIA Music Awards

I would like your guidance on an issue. About four years ago, you completed a non-admin closure on a requested move of the article ARIA Music Awards of 2020, which resulted in its shift to 2020 ARIA Music Awards. Subsequent articles in the series {{year}} ARIA Music Awards have been created up to this year's version. However, prior year's awards remain in the style ARIA Music Awards of {{year}} going back to 1987's awards. Is the moving of those prior years' articles considered to be non-controversial? Or should I raise the issue somewhere?Didier Landner (talk) 06:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didier Landner I wouldn't expect too much controversy given that the date-first style is generally preferred, but to avoid any conflict I suggest listing *all of them* in a single RM. (t · c) buidhe 06:32, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert on German-atrocities

Hi - You did a revert saying you didn't see the benefit. My change (just adding two subsection headings) was to make clearer that most of the content of the After-the-war section was about Soviet actions (rather than German action as per title of article). Your revert makes it harder to navigate and understand the article IMO. - Rod57 (talk) 15:50, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet and non Soviet actions are not separated in the section and it is about actions at and after the end of the war as the section heading states (t · c) buidhe 16:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
