RS only

I've [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=White_phosphorus_munitions&diff=1079095129&oldid=1079062966 removed the use of white phosphorus munitions from the article, as neither of the sources were reliable, as per WP:RS. I would ask that because this is an event transpiring within the last day, we should wait until more reliable sources report the usage. Also, I urge contributors to be wary of round-robin type sources, wherein one source reports a thing and every other source piggy-backs onto that initial mention. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 00:29, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 April 2022

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at White phosphorus munitions. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

White phosphorus burns at a temperature of up to 2,760 degrees Celsius (5,000 degrees Fahrenheit) with pure oxygen as the oxidizer. The burning temperature is much lower at around 800 degrees Celsius (1,472 degrees Fahrenheit) when oxidized with air instead of oxygen.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Please change "British home islands" to "British Isles" [I think]

An expression (here) that's new to me, I think, and not mentioned on the target page (Great Britain). Does it mean "Great Britain"? Or something else? British home islands is actually a red link, whereas 'Home Islands' is listed as a possible redirect to British Isles (as distinct from 'Great Britain'). 86.186.155.243 (talk) 09:21, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: Good suggestion, this phrasing was a bit awkward. I've changed it to Great Britain specifically since I deem the sentence to refer to the invasion of British-controlled territory by Germans, specifically, rather than the British Isles which includes Ireland and other areas. Thanks for the contribution! Amadeus²² 🙋 🔔 18:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
