Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Elkhanan Elkes, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi Buidhe -- hope you are well. Tell me what you make of the substantive edits made on 8 March to the Responsibility for the Holocaust page. My problem with the edits (which I removed and the editor added back) was that it provides something that feels visually misleading and seems to obfuscate the responsibility of other nation states, like France, Ukraine, Poland etc. Am I being too critical? Nonetheless, I changed the formatting of the sources the editor added to match the page, but still feel like the edit should be undone entirely.

I just saw that you created the category Historians by former country. When you did so did you mean it to be a group of historians from, that is nationals or subjects, of countries that no linger exist (Historians from the Russian Empire, Historians from the Ottoman Empire, Historians from Czechoslovakia, etc.) Or did you mean it to group together historians who studied countries that no longer exist (historians of Phonecia, Historians of the Aztec Empire, Historians of the Byzantine Empire, etc)?

Hello Buidhe,
You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.
Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.
For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

There is a lot of things I do not understand about this case. Could you please clarify some of them to me? This is regarding your interview to Dr. Klein [2]. Is it a complete and full record of your interactions with Dr. Klein? I am asking because interview #2 is not a complete record of her interactions with WMF. Did Dr. Klein explain to you that your conversation will be recorded, published, and used in complaint to WMF and potentially in an arbitration? Did you agree to this? Of course you have no obligation to answer. I just thought that would clarify things. Thank you. My very best wishes ( talk) 09:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

inclusion of the citation to Zimmerman page 213, but not page 361. As far as I can see everyone would support p.213 being included. You are reluctant, but accept Z1720's proposition and say
I do think its relevant, but if you think it's best to run with just the original page, I guess we can do that. However, Zimmerman, p. 213 is never restored. On 19 June VM replies to Z1720
No, looks good, thanks for all the hard work. This is the text of the article at 19 June 2021 and it doesn't include Zimmerman, p. 213. Zimmerman is listed in the Sources section, but is not used as a source; there's no mention of local ethnic Poles being hostile to Jewish fugitives. Do you understand or remember what happened?

Goodmorning Buidhe, I have a question concerning the removal of the English Post-Vac page. At 06.46, 18 April 2023, you made a revision to the English Post-Vac page and suggested a merge of the article into COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly two hours later, at 08.22, 18 April 2023, you redirected the Post-Vac page to COVID-19. However, you have also deleted the complete page together with all the references and footnotes. I am not sure whether this was your intention.
User Onel5969 reviewed the Post-Vac page on 19 April 2023 and informed me the page was accepted. I contacted him about the MERGE and DELETE of the Post-Vac page. Though I know the subject of Post-Vac side-effects is a very sensitive subject, I thought that there was nothing in the text which could be a reason to reject the complete content. I have written it very carefully so as not to get involved in any political discussion. So far, all my contributions to Wikipedia were non-political, merely literary subjects, art or history, and some pages were on World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, e.g. in Dutch (and some of them also in English) on the Jodenkamp Havelte, the Sperr-stempel, Hans Mossel, Marek Weber, Frontstalag, Interneringskamp Royallieu, Nuit et Brouillard (a song by Jean Ferrat), Louis (Levie) de Vries, Benny Behr, Jules Dassin and his son, my favourite singer-songwriter Joe Dassin, to name a few. I really thought that the Post-Vac Syndrome page had some encyclopedic value, and that it was non-political. I seriously thought that it would be of help to those people who experience the rare but sometimes very serious side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and they feel lost, perhaps even desperate to find help. It is not an article against the COVID-19 vaccines, it is about helping those people who are looking for help and for some form of recognition. There is nothing wrong in that, is there?
Karl Lauterbach, the German Federal Minister of Health, acknowledged on 12 March 2023 the Post-Vac Syndrom during an interview with the German independent public service television broadcaster ZDF. Lauterbach also said that there was no medication or treatment available. He promised financial assistance for the victims. [1]

Hi Buidhe,
I see that you reverted the edits I made to connect the info about the Jews who were taken from Theresienstadt by train and killed in Baranavichy here and two other places. I totally get why you reverted the addition.
I have been trying to find some place to mention these 3,000 Jews (sometimes called the "Czech brothers") who were transported to Baranavichy and killed there. Or, better yet, already mentioned somewhere.
It seems there are two options:

Thank you today for Armenian Genocide denial, about (quote:) "perhaps the most successful example of how the well-organized, deliberate, and systematic spreading of falsehoods can play an important role in the field of public debate". Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the state of Turkey continues to reject the change of genocide against its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, and the ruling Committee of Union and Progress. Perhaps even more reprehensible than claiming that the events never occurred at all, as is typical of Holocaust deniers, it is often claimed that the destruction of the Ottoman Armenians was the "result of a reasonable and understandable response of a government to a rebellious and seditious population". -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:09, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe,
I'm rewriting multiple sections to take into account, multiple points you've brought up
1- removal of any primary source
2- I checked some of the parts that were removed such as some parts of the potential etiologies section have been mentioned in tertiary sources + 2 secondary source. Since I didn't write up those parts I assume the tertiary source wasn't mentioned hence it being removed.
3- Is there any policies against use of a table containing WP:MEDRS sources at the end of the article? I'm asking for policies since you've mentions each article should be judged based on its own merit.
If any of these changes are going to be reverted just let me know not to waste time on them.
In case you accept reading the draft before I add it to the article, I'd appreciate knowing how to rewrite/improve parts if needed.
As a courtesy regarding sending the draft it's to prevent you from being blocked for the 3 reversal rule in case it applies.
thanks

Hi, I noticed you edited my edit of the description of Andrea Pető in the article on the anti-gender movement. The question is whether it is correct to call her an activist. While the source cited in the anti-gender movement article does indeed not state that she is an activist, there is a section on her political activism in the article on herself. In one of the sources cited there, she describes some of her activities as activism ("Really, the feminist walk is activism."). Reading about her, I get the impression that to her, her research and her activism are closely intertwined.
What's the difference between a researcher and an activist anyway? I think it's Hume's guillotine: a researcher describes how things are, an activist argues how they ought to be. Of course you can be both and of course your research can lead to activism, and I think is the case with Andrea Pető. Still, calling her only an academic, historian or researcher etc. suggests that she tries to have a neutral stance towards the topic which I think is not the case. -- Shinryuu ( talk) 10:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello Buidhe, I noticed that you removed the GA nominations for one of the topic-banned parties in the recent AA3 case.

Hello Buidhe, I understand and respect that you've pages a longer time than I have, I do however feel hastily removed all my edits without paying them much consideration as valuable and more accurate information on this subject. I was unaware I had to provide a source for common knowledge, such as the fact that the genocides in the era were related, a fact that is stated (uncited I should mention) relating the Armenian genocide, but none of the others I mentioned. I am active in Assyrian communities where these things are simply known, and known far better by many of them than I know of them. I feel like these things are valuable information to those looking to learn more, and should be included on the page, hence my questioning your reversal of my work. I think some of it may be fair to remove for now, but what makes certain information not needing citation (ie the relation of the genocide to the Armenian one) fine, but not the relation to the actions committed against Maronites or Greeks, or even other Assyrian genocides?

Hi Buidhe! I am here to let you (as well as the other FAC coordinators on their talk pages) know that User:P-Makoto and I intend to nominate the Joseph Smith article for Featured Article status within the next few weeks. After spending some time lurking at WP:FA and WP:FAC though, I notice that this article is lengthier and more complex than most of the articles that are nominated. I think the length is justified: Smith was and remains a very complex and controversial figure. And of course, just being complex and controversial with a long article doesn't necessarily disqualify a topic from FA status (for example, see Jesus).
That said, I'm wondering if you have any specific thoughts, questions, or comments before we jump into things? I think the length and complexity of the material has turned off some reviewers from doing a deep dive into it in the past. For example, a 2013 PR request failed to attract a single reviewer or even a comment. Is there anything you recommend to offset this a little bit?
Thanks in advance! Trevdna ( talk) 04:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Buidhe,
You were recently listed as a party to a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.
Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.
For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
For the Arbitration Committee,

Hello! Three years ago you deleted the article ABBYY as a result of discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ABBYY.
Since 2020, many changes have taken place - the company moved to the USA, new notable products were developed.
Can you please restore the article to my personal userspace or other appropriate location for revision? Perohanych ( talk) 22:30, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Thak you today for The Holocaust in Greece, another article that needed to be written! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:06, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
I have restored the first sentence, using WP:FAOWN. For my TFAs I usually unwatch a couple of days before and come back to them four days after they were on the main page. I then do one big tidy up and reversion of any unhelpful edits, leaving an appropriate edit summary and referencing WP:FAOWN. An example is here. PS I'm not an admin.

I was recently thinking that nobody is creating good content in that topic area. And then I saw your recent successful FA. What can I say... good job. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:29, 17 March 2023 (UTC) |
I saw you reinstated edits in Talaat Pasha article that in the first sentence described him being convicted by Ottoman military tribunal of 1919.
This edit of yours is problematic on multiple grounds:

Hello, Buidhe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Historiography of the Armenian Genocide".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 06:27, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
There is a lot of things I do not understand about this case. Could you please clarify some of them to me? This is regarding your interview to Dr. Klein [2]. Is it a complete and full record of your interactions with Dr. Klein? I am asking because interview #2 is not a complete record of her interactions with WMF. Did Dr. Klein explain to you that your conversation will be recorded, published, and used in complaint to WMF and potentially in an arbitration? Did you agree to this? Of course you have no obligation to answer. I just thought that would clarify things. Thank you. My very best wishes ( talk) 09:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Buidhe, I am planning to submit this evidence to ArbCom. Could you have a look and tell me if I have understood everything correctly or if I have missed something important? Thank you, Gitz ( talk) ( contribs) 03:33, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
inclusion of the citation to Zimmerman page 213, but not page 361. As far as I can see everyone would support p.213 being included. You are reluctant, but accept Z1720's proposition and say
I do think its relevant, but if you think it's best to run with just the original page, I guess we can do that. However, Zimmerman, p. 213 is never restored. On 19 June VM replies to Z1720
No, looks good, thanks for all the hard work. This is the text of the article at 19 June 2021 and it doesn't include Zimmerman, p. 213. Zimmerman is listed in the Sources section, but is not used as a source; there's no mention of local ethnic Poles being hostile to Jewish fugitives. Do you understand or remember what happened?
Hi Buidhe, I came across this & thought it might interest you.

Hi Buidhe, Novem Linguae pinged us a while back on WT:NPP/R about a redirect drive that some people wanted to happen, and I was wondering whether you were up to coordinate it, otherwise, there are a few other people around that can help. Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 16:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe. As a personal favor, in a spirit of collegial cooperation and mutual respect, I would like to respectfully request that if at any time in the future I am ever a part of bringing any article to FAC, you would let others do any spot-checking of cites etc. I appreciate in advance your gracious cooperation in this regard.

Goodmorning Buidhe, I have a question concerning the removal of the English Post-Vac page. At 06.46, 18 April 2023, you made a revision to the English Post-Vac page and suggested a merge of the article into COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly two hours later, at 08.22, 18 April 2023, you redirected the Post-Vac page to COVID-19. However, you have also deleted the complete page together with all the references and footnotes. I am not sure whether this was your intention.
User Onel5969 reviewed the Post-Vac page on 19 April 2023 and informed me the page was accepted. I contacted him about the MERGE and DELETE of the Post-Vac page. Though I know the subject of Post-Vac side-effects is a very sensitive subject, I thought that there was nothing in the text which could be a reason to reject the complete content. I have written it very carefully so as not to get involved in any political discussion. So far, all my contributions to Wikipedia were non-political, merely literary subjects, art or history, and some pages were on World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, e.g. in Dutch (and some of them also in English) on the Jodenkamp Havelte, the Sperr-stempel, Hans Mossel, Marek Weber, Frontstalag, Interneringskamp Royallieu, Nuit et Brouillard (a song by Jean Ferrat), Louis (Levie) de Vries, Benny Behr, Jules Dassin and his son, my favourite singer-songwriter Joe Dassin, to name a few. I really thought that the Post-Vac Syndrome page had some encyclopedic value, and that it was non-political. I seriously thought that it would be of help to those people who experience the rare but sometimes very serious side-effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and they feel lost, perhaps even desperate to find help. It is not an article against the COVID-19 vaccines, it is about helping those people who are looking for help and for some form of recognition. There is nothing wrong in that, is there?
Karl Lauterbach, the German Federal Minister of Health, acknowledged on 12 March 2023 the Post-Vac Syndrom during an interview with the German independent public service television broadcaster ZDF. Lauterbach also said that there was no medication or treatment available. He promised financial assistance for the victims. [1]

I would very much appreciate if you would have another look at the Post-Vac page and perhaps you can undelete the deleted text. Looking forward to hearing from you, hanengerda Hanengerda ( talk) 06:39, 19 April 2023 (UTC) Hanengerda ( talk) 06:39, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe,
I see that you reverted the edits I made to connect the info about the Jews who were taken from Theresienstadt by train and killed in Baranavichy here and two other places. I totally get why you reverted the addition.
I have been trying to find some place to mention these 3,000 Jews (sometimes called the "Czech brothers") who were transported to Baranavichy and killed there. Or, better yet, already mentioned somewhere.
It seems there are two options:
.... that is, unless you have any thoughts about that.

Thank you today for Armenian Genocide denial, about (quote:) "perhaps the most successful example of how the well-organized, deliberate, and systematic spreading of falsehoods can play an important role in the field of public debate". Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the state of Turkey continues to reject the change of genocide against its predecessor, the Ottoman Empire, and the ruling Committee of Union and Progress. Perhaps even more reprehensible than claiming that the events never occurred at all, as is typical of Holocaust deniers, it is often claimed that the destruction of the Ottoman Armenians was the "result of a reasonable and understandable response of a government to a rebellious and seditious population". -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:09, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe,
I'm rewriting multiple sections to take into account, multiple points you've brought up
1- removal of any primary source
2- I checked some of the parts that were removed such as some parts of the potential etiologies section have been mentioned in tertiary sources + 2 secondary source. Since I didn't write up those parts I assume the tertiary source wasn't mentioned hence it being removed.
3- Is there any policies against use of a table containing WP:MEDRS sources at the end of the article? I'm asking for policies since you've mentions each article should be judged based on its own merit.
If any of these changes are going to be reverted just let me know not to waste time on them.
In case you accept reading the draft before I add it to the article, I'd appreciate knowing how to rewrite/improve parts if needed.
As a courtesy regarding sending the draft it's to prevent you from being blocked for the 3 reversal rule in case it applies.
thanks

Hi, I noticed you edited my edit of the description of Andrea Pető in the article on the anti-gender movement. The question is whether it is correct to call her an activist. While the source cited in the anti-gender movement article does indeed not state that she is an activist, there is a section on her political activism in the article on herself. In one of the sources cited there, she describes some of her activities as activism ("Really, the feminist walk is activism."). Reading about her, I get the impression that to her, her research and her activism are closely intertwined.
What's the difference between a researcher and an activist anyway? I think it's Hume's guillotine: a researcher describes how things are, an activist argues how they ought to be. Of course you can be both and of course your research can lead to activism, and I think is the case with Andrea Pető. Still, calling her only an academic, historian or researcher etc. suggests that she tries to have a neutral stance towards the topic which I think is not the case. -- Shinryuu ( talk) 10:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello Buidhe, I noticed that you removed the GA nominations for one of the topic-banned parties in the recent AA3 case.

Hi Buidhe, it's late at night for me and I don't understand how the Articles for deletion process works, but I've just come across this article: The Dominion of Canada (Country).

Hello Buidhe, I understand and respect that you've pages a longer time than I have, I do however feel hastily removed all my edits without paying them much consideration as valuable and more accurate information on this subject. I was unaware I had to provide a source for common knowledge, such as the fact that the genocides in the era were related, a fact that is stated (uncited I should mention) relating the Armenian genocide, but none of the others I mentioned. I am active in Assyrian communities where these things are simply known, and known far better by many of them than I know of them. I feel like these things are valuable information to those looking to learn more, and should be included on the page, hence my questioning your reversal of my work. I think some of it may be fair to remove for now, but what makes certain information not needing citation (ie the relation of the genocide to the Armenian one) fine, but not the relation to the actions committed against Maronites or Greeks, or even other Assyrian genocides?

Hi Buidhe! I am here to let you (as well as the other FAC coordinators on their talk pages) know that User:P-Makoto and I intend to nominate the Joseph Smith article for Featured Article status within the next few weeks. After spending some time lurking at WP:FA and WP:FAC though, I notice that this article is lengthier and more complex than most of the articles that are nominated. I think the length is justified: Smith was and remains a very complex and controversial figure. And of course, just being complex and controversial with a long article doesn't necessarily disqualify a topic from FA status (for example, see Jesus).
That said, I'm wondering if you have any specific thoughts, questions, or comments before we jump into things? I think the length and complexity of the material has turned off some reviewers from doing a deep dive into it in the past. For example, a 2013 PR request failed to attract a single reviewer or even a comment. Is there anything you recommend to offset this a little bit?
Thanks in advance! Trevdna ( talk) 04:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
