- ... that the Non-combatant Casualty Value allows the lives of people from other races and geographies to be assigned different values? Source: Delori 2020, p. 317-318: "NCCV depends, notably, on two factors. It depends, firstly, on the subjective assessment of the ‘value’ of civilians. In this respect, the most important variable is geographical or/and racial. When a ‘terrorist’ attack occurs on the territory of a Western state, the NCCV used by police and military forces is close to zero, meaning that they do not want to put at risk any French or Western civilian. When they operate in the non-Western world, however, the NCCV rises significantly. This is why Western forces use different instruments depending on whether they operate in a Western country or or in other parts of the world: elite commandos on the ground in the former case, armed drones and fighter-bomber jets in the latter.

Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 76 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.Onceinawhile (talk) 14:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC).
Article checks out in terms of eligibility and presentability (no copyvio, long enough, etc.), but you need another QPQ due to backlog mode, and I think we can get that hook snappier. What about something like "... that NCVs can assign different values to the lives of civilians of different nationalities?" (I don't like "race" here, since it seems like more of a nationality question in this context.) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:47, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@CAVincent: the reverted edits were WP:ARBPIA-related content. The scope of the restrictions is defined here; they include all "edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict". I apologize for not being clearer in my edit summary. Onceinawhile (talk) 07:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting. I've not come across this before, nor seen restrictions applying in WP to certain subjects without necessarily applying to an article itself. But then, I generally have no involvement in ARBPIA subjects and only came here because of the DYK. I still think the newcomer editor's objections were valid, so I'm not self-reverting, but have no problems with enforcing this and going back to your version. I'll probably just take this off my watchlist. Cheers. CAVincent (talk) 21:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
