Crimes against humanity category removal on Feb 14th 2024

Hello! I am reaching out to say that I've noticed several articles relating to warcrimes committed by Imperial Japan in World War 2 have been removed from their categories due to 'not being prosecuted'. I responded to this claim irt Sook Ching (here). The perpetrators of these warcrimes were persecuted across the minor trials which took place as part of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East and subsequent minor trials. These events were prosecuted for Class B and C warcriminals which qualifies them by this standard. I would appreciate your help in restoring these category tags for crimes which were prosecuted as apart of those trials. I am a relatively new editor and not entirely familiar with how to find the list to manually check them. Relm (talk) 21:49, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Relmcheatham, thanks for your comment. If an event was prosecuted as a crime against humanity (as opposed to a war crime—separate area of law), I think it would be fair to include, assuming it is a WP:DEFINING aspect of the topic—which may not be the case. (For example, the legal classification of the Srebrenica massacre as genocide is defining, but the classification of the same event as a crime against humanity is not.) However, as it is the Sook Ching article does not even mention "crimes against humanity" or "crime against humanity". Without a source, the category fails WP:VER. (t · c) buidhe 04:09, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! I apologize since I typed that message while rather tired and conflated some things in my response in a way that was not clear. Officers involved in Sook Ching were tried as Class C war criminals - which means that they were tried for Crimes Against Humanity in the Singapore trials. I listed a source which says this. If I understand what you are saying, I would need to add that source to the Sook Ching article - presumably as part of expanding the 'trial' section to mention it. Would this be sufficient or am I missing something that would be required? Or are you saying that unless secondary sources specifically refer to Sook Ching as a crime against humanity - even if it was tried as such - that it can not be reflected in the tags? I'd love to help expand on these articles so any feedback on how to do so appropriately would be greatly appreciated! Relm (talk) 21:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Looking at some of the sources already on the page, they also refer to Sook Ching as a Crime against humanity. So I think it should be easy to add even without incorporating new sources. Relm (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

I think it would be a great idea to add the information to the article, but I'm still skeptical that wp:defining is met-which also requires that "crime against humanity is what sources are consistently labeling the event (please see the categorization rules). Instead I would consider creating and populating Category:Crimes prosecuted at the Tokyo trial (t · c) buidhe 22:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Torture template reverts

It is not required that Hell be described on the torture article in order to have Hell listed in the template. I'm not sure what your point was regarding the "legal definition". I gave no mention of a deity. There's no definition saying Hell is limited to Earth or this current existence. While it is true that not all religions say Hell is a place of torture, this is the general viewpoint, as is prominently mentioned right near the beginning of the Hell article itself. This is not my POV. I never added such a description to the Hell article. This is the general viewpoint of what this place entails. Helper201 (talk) 18:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Helper201 The scope of the template is defined in the article torture, not torture (disambiguation). (t · c) buidhe 18:35, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Is there actually any Wikipedia guideline specifically stating a template is limited to what its related article describes? Helper201 (talk) 18:38, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe that the scope of each template is determined by consensus. If there is no consensus to include the religion aspect, it will be left out. (t · c) buidhe 20:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

So there's actually no guideline against this. This feels like its falling under WP:OWNBEHAVIOR. Helper201 (talk) 17:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

WP:ONUS: "The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." (t · c) buidhe 17:52, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Per the ownership behaviour guideline - "An editor reverts a good-faith change without providing an edit summary that refers to relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, previous reviews and discussions, reliable sources, or specific grammar or prose problems introduced by the edit." Helper201 (talk) 20:20, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome to seek consensus for your change. I already explained why I think it does not belong in the template. (t · c) buidhe 01:45, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Drugs by structure

Hi there - I'm hoping you can shed light on what it was you had in mind when you created Category:Drugs by structure, which I just came across. After looking through the contents, I found only 2 items that seem to have any possible reason for being placed in the category: Peptide therapeutics‎ and Small-molecule drug‎s - and honestly, I'm not sure either of them really makes sense either. Perhaps we can come up with a better name for the Category if you can explain the rationale for me? Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

PS - Please be sure to Ping me when you reply. Thanx. Anomalous+0 (talk) 07:56, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

For example, drugs that contain deuterium or radioactive isotopes, those that are small molecules vs peptides. (t · c) buidhe 13:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

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.

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.

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)

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)

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

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?
