March 2011 edit

 

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220.101 talk\Contribs 17:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of 1834 Genocide edit

 

The article 1834 Genocide has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

History, sources, and your articles edit

Hi! I've been following your recent new article creations. While some have major POV problems (and these are being discussed actively{, others reflect a sincere desire to expand Wikipedia by covering new topics. Doing what I usually do, I've been seeking out more reliable sources than the ones you've used. This has turned up a new class of problems which I must emphasize is not your fault.

What I'm talking about is this. You've run into short references to significant and notable events, usually in the form of: "there was a pogrom against Jews in place x in year y." Some of these have come from reliable sources on other issues, others have come from compendiums (which we consider tertiary sources on Wikipedia) and some have come from sources that have no particular knowledge of place x at all, but are describing external incidents as background for their real topic (like Benny Morris). So these articles lack truly reliable sources and are therefore not verifiable.

However, when it comes time to fill in more details than the one line in theses sources, surprises appear.

The first big surprise is that some of these events are not pogroms at all, but other sorts of massacres: specifically in the conquest of Fez and the conquest of Cordoba (I'll post the details on the second case soon!). This makes the new article which you created have a misleading title.

The second surprise is that other details have mutated along the chain of citation, which usually involves tertiary source citing tertiary source citing tertiary source. It turns out that the Cordoba massacres were at the end of a 1010-1013 siege, following Berber conquest, and a joint assault on Jews and other residents of the city. Fortunately, Wikipedia's preference for reliable, secondary sources lets us fix this.

I'd like to offer to work with you in incubating 1011 Córdoba pogrom as Siege and fall of Córdoba, if you'd like to keep working on the article. Let me know if you are interested.--Carwil (talk) 14:02, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey! Thank you for the e-mail. The problem is that the original articles that I titled "massacre" were deemed titled incorrectly and editors wanted pogrom instead. I'd like the help. I'm just trying to spread awareness but there are many editors that want to maintain the "Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together before Zionism" lie. I have no interest in getting involved in an edtiing war over the Arab-Israeli Conflict merely bringing to light massacres against Sephardic/Mizrahic Jews. ChasteRoue
