@Blaisehistory: where is this (what Alistair Horne said) repeated? M.Bitton (talk) 00:35, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Meant to move to controversies section - fixed now Blaisehistory (talk) 00:44, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't belong in either the controversy or the during the war section. I moved back to where it was initially. M.Bitton (talk) 00:46, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Crimes against humanity category removal

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.
