Your GA nomination of Paramilitary punishment attacks in Northern Ireland
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Paramilitary punishment attacks in Northern Ireland you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Threshold for killing all Tigrayans: above 4 yrs, 7 yrs or 14 yrs? males only or all genders?
I think that the clearest evidence for intent in the War crimes in the Tigray War may come from testimony regarding the age limit above which to kill all male or all any-gender Tigrayans, but this is just my personal guess. The age limit may be ambiguous, but it sounds very much like an order from above.
You may wish to keep an eye on the article. It seems to me impossible for these to be only classed as war crimes in the long run, but whether they are legally classified as crimes against humanity or genocide will clearly be a long-term question that will depend on how lawyers, evidence and judges in courts handle the issue. Right now there's the "final phase" of the "military" battles going on, per EEPA, and there don't seem to be reports about whether Eritrean extermination of Tigrayan civilians is continuing.

Removal of Gabrielle Ormand
I have no problem with removing Gabrielle Ormond from the list of French supercentenarians for lack of proper references. What I have a problem with is how the table was left: a gap between entry 70 & 72; not renumbered for her deletion, and without providing a new “100th” entry to make the list complete. Would you please go back and make these fixes. Thank you.TFBCT1 (talk) 20:19, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Armenian Genocide denial
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Armenian Genocide denial has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
There are a couple of issues I found that I'll draw to your attention that I feel need to be fixed:
Germany: Stories about Armenians were censored, although penalties were light.
I assume newspapers censored the stories because of some action on the part of the German government?}} Needs clarification.
United States: In 2019, Congress formally recognized the genocide.
How? With a resolution? Clarify.
United Kingdom: In 2001, the United Kingdom initially refused to invite Armenian Genocide survivors to an official commemorative event of the first Holocaust Memorial Day, which included survivors of several genocides, but later relented.
Why? Elaborate.
In 2005, the Turkish National Assembly demanded an apology for the 1916 publication…
From whom?
Best of luck with the FA when you get to it.
Regards,

Drive coordination
Hi buidhe and thanks for volunteering to serve as a coordinator. There's no formal guide as to how to co-ordinate, so I thought I'd drop some notes (that you may already know) about drive coordination:
- Before the drive: banners should be dropped at participants in the last drive and prolific reviewers talk pages--here's a link to the banner from last drive. I'd like to include a line asking people to add themselves to this list for future updates so we can send it as a mass message in the future rather than manually going through. If people are already signed up or unable to participate (retired/blocked/etc), use your best judgement and probably don't leave a message.
- During the drive: check in on the talk page to answer questions, keep an eye on WT:GAN as well, and (something I didn't do super well last month) if you see new users wanting to get involved maybe drop them a talk page message with advice on how to do a proper review— a drive done right has potential to help people get more involved!
- After the drive: check reviews to ensure they are decent reviews (if somebody has done 40+ and is an established user, its acceptable to check every few). here's a table we used to help keep track of it last year
I think that's about it. Hope this is helpful, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 20:14, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Eddie891 Great! I have now made a March 2021 banner: Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2021/banner. Do you think it's too early to start dropping it? (t · c) buidhe 20:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- I think it might be a little on the early side-- If memory serves I sent them out in the week leading up to the drive (which for this drive is next week) and Harrias sent messages for April's the weekend before. I was planning to wait until this coming weekend. Cheers, Eddie891 Talk Work 20:24, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Eddie891, Has the invite been sent out to the mailing list? If so than I can start working on the people who aren't on the list, but I don't want to give the same message twice. (t · c) buidhe 08:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- I haven't sent the mass message yet- the last time that was used was 2013, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts: should we send a message like "Hey, there's a drive" to these people (who, again, won't have gotten a message for seven-ish years), or blank the list and get people to sign-up again if they're interested? Eddie891 Talk Work 14:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- Eddie891, Why not send it? The worst that can happen is that they've lost interest in GA and won't participate, but these people wouldn't have participated anyway. On the other hand, maybe some will decide to re-engage. (t · c) buidhe 14:30, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Unbalanced div's in RM closure
Hi, Buidhe, this edit, which closed the RM discussion at Talk:Feminizing hormone therapy, added a <div> tag at the top, without a closing end-div tag somewhere. The edit summary mentions DiscussionCloser v.1.7.3, and I'm not sure if the problem lies with that script, or how you used it. Can you look into this, and if there's a problem script-side, can you either ping DannyS712 or call their attention to this problem on their Talk page? If it's in usage, can you provide the bottom-template, or whatever it is the script calls for, so there isn't a missing </div>? This may cause unpredictable behavior in subsequent discussions, if left as is. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 20:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Mathglot, thanks for letting me know. I believe I've fixed it manually. I use this script on all my RM closures and never had an issue before so I'm guessing it's a one-off thing. (t · c) buidhe 02:03, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Peer review peer review
I noticed your edits to Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty so you probably noticed that I did the GA review and award (see Talk:Donough MacCarty, 1st Earl of Clancarty/GA2). That was the first time I have ever done a GAR, so if you have time I would appreciate any advice you may have to offer should I be tempted to do another? Thank you if you do, no worries if you don't. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:13, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- John Maynard Friedman Thanks for reviewing at GAN! I think your review does a good job at sticking to the criteria while providing helpful feedback for the nominator. For example, articles should not have collapsed tables according to MOS:DONTHIDE, but this is not part of the MOS standard required for GAN (although you could have challenged them based on relevance). Here are the issues that I noticed that ideally would be caught by a GA review:
- I think you should have checked the notes for original research and verifiability; I found some potential issues there. For example, one of the notes states without a citation: "The source does not name the son, but it can be inferred that it was Callaghan, his second son, as his eldest, Cormac, was away in France and Justin was only about nine years old and probably with his mother in France." I realize you flagged this in the review and had it improved, but it is still WP:OR, as in inference not directly stated in the source. There are other issues such as "His first name is usually spelled Donough", which is not cited and does not seem to be verifiable to a direct statement in a reliable source.
- The lead refers to "Charles I's authoritarian governor", but the word "authoritarian" is not used in the body and does not seem to be cited anywhere. (Words like "authoritarian" are often not suitable for wikivoice either).
- Some info in the body lacks citations, such as "Despite this family background, Donough and his siblings grew up to be Catholics. It is not known how this came about." "who could, however, not seize them as its power was limited to Dublin and a few other towns and their immediately surroundings, whereas Muskerry's estates lay entirely within the territories held by the rebels." In an article like this it means that there is no obvious source where the reader can verify the info, which is an issue for GA criteria. (t · c) buidhe 17:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, this is helpful. At least I didn't miss anything gross. I pressed the nominator on the first and (especially) the last point, which has become particularly relevant since it is fundamental to his DYK nomination. Nevertheless I think that, given some 'vigorous' editing, the article has the potential to be a Featured Article. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:20, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
collective guilt
hi buidhe,
firstly, thank you for improving wiki pages about sensitive topics like genocides, massacres, and racism. i do surf on wiki frequently and i'd like to say that reading your contents is always a good experience. nevertheless, i strongly disagree with this addition (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seyfo&diff=1009744952&oldid=1009675918). it is problematic in many aspects: representing a certain ethnicity as "genocider" as a whole is insensitive and to be honest, it is disturbing. i have never seen such a thing in other pages about genocides. e.g. despite vast majority of the germans voted for the nazis, we do not and should not represent "germans" as the perpetrator of holocoust or genocider, but instead we say "nazis". same goes for nakba (do we call jewish people as the perpetrator?) or we do not represent ethnic turkish people as a whole as the perpetrator of the greek or armenian genocide, but instead we say "ottoman/young turk government". it's because an ethnicity as a whole cannot be "genocidal". collective guilt justifies collective punishment and that's exactly the same mentality causing genocides which is also a form of collective punishment. besides, it is incorrect in many ways because even if we accept that "whole" sunni muslim kurds are genociders (which is not true), there are millions of alevi kurds, yarsani kurds, kurds from kermanshah, sanandaj, kurds from khorasan who had nothing to do with those massacres against christians. on the top of it, most of the allied tribes were not even independent, they were usually (if not always), under the command of others. there's nothing wrong with pointing the massacres of mainly kurdish hamidiye (cavalry) and its role in the genocides during and just before the ww1 (some scholars associate the mostly kurdish and tribal hamidiye cavalry with mostly kurdish and tribal village guard system), but the current wording has serious problems. in my humble opinion, changing it from "kurds" to "allied local muslim tribes" (mainly kurdish but also circassian, yörük turkmen, and arab) will be good. it is just wrong to call an ethnic group "genocider" as a whole.176.54.241.197 (talk) 07:51, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
okay, since i have received no response from you so far and only a few people join the discussions on the article's talk page, i will raise this on dispute resolution boards of wiki in the next couple of weeks.176.54.241.197 (talk) 14:38, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
