Your revert on German-atrocities
[edit]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)
- 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)
DYK for Post-tuberculosis lung disease
[edit]
On 1 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Post-tuberculosis lung disease, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many people who recover from tuberculosis lose more than half of their lung capacity (example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Post-tuberculosis lung disease. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Post-tuberculosis lung disease), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I have finally nominated the article. Please take a look if you can: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/History of Christianity/archive1. Thank you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think I have addressed all that you mentioned. Would you mind taking another look? Your input is invaluable to me. Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:05, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 4
[edit]An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Genocide, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Residential schools.
(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 07:57, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello. You did not respond to me in the talk page Talk:Genocide#Removal_of_sourced_information [1], so I'm bringing my concern here. Why was the content I added recently deleted without any talk page discussion?
I understand you are improving the article, and you are doing great work. And I understand replacing content sometimes happens, especially if it's old or poorly sourced. But my edits were recent and sourced with high quality sources.
Should I expect all my edits reversed or deleted with mass edits such as this [2] in the future? Bogazicili (talk) 15:17, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Genocidal intent
[edit]Hi, I fixed the reference errors which you introduced to Genocidal intent. DuncanHill (talk) 17:28, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Slovak Republic
[edit]Why not move Slovak Republic (1939-1945) to First Slovak Republic? 91838jeu72737 (talk) 11:32, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- 91838jeu72737 I'm not necessarily opposed, but you have to use the correct process by going through WP:RM and getting consensus for the move. (t · c) buidhe 13:52, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Thank you!

Dispute against EU Reporter reliability
[edit]@Buidhe I believe we should start a noticeboard discussion about EU Reporter. You seem to be strongly against it, but you are the only wiki editor that I am aware that has such a strong negative view against EU Reporter. There are quotes from this news website in Ukranian government websites: [3], [4]; Azerbaijani government websites [5]; Croatian goverment websites [6]; and others. Are you telling that all these goverments are trying to manipulate the news or they are naive enough to use unreliable sources for their official reporting? Do you have any other indication of Wikipedia consensus on the unreliability of this source other than your own research? Contributor892z (talk) 19:59, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- The source has been documented to publish native advertising, which means that you cannot trust that anything you read there is not a paid for ad. It is untrue that consensus is needed to deem a source unreliable—those adding a source have the burden of proving that it is a reliable source. (t · c) buidhe 20:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- The documentation you mentioned was made by a rival source in 2021 and since then EU Reporter has been subject to independent editorial control by NewsGuard, yet you still were uncomfortable of a reference to an article published there in 2022. Even based on your own argument, the independent editorial control by a rating system that is used globally is a proof that post-2021 this is a reliable source. Contributor892z (talk) 20:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's not proof of anything, given that "There is a rough consensus in this thread that NewsGuard is not a reliable source." A source has to spend time building a reputation for fact checking and accuracy, if it lacks this in 2021 it is unlikely to be RS a year later. (t · c) buidhe 20:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Important: Please update user script installation
[edit]Hi there, you currently have a user script installed from Anne drew Andrew and Drew. Several weeks ago, I changed my username to Anne drew, and unfortunately, due to an issue with script redirects, the scripts you have installed under my old username no longer function.
To fix this, please update your JavaScript pages (Special:MyPage/common.js or Special:MyPage/skin.js) by replacing all instances of Anne drew Andrew and Drew with Anne drew.
If any of this is unclear, please ping Anne drew for help. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!
Thanks – Anne drew
