Yes, Globalization does involve just war theory

Even the globalization notes how it involves war. The absence of the words "just war theory" is a poor excuse to corrupt how globalization relates to war and thus the just war theoryJoeScarce (talk) 21:12, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Source what you mentioned does not say about just war, does not mention unjust war, no denouncing, not mentioning official position of church. This is just war theory article. Content is about that. You made a lot of personal conclusion on different articles and many of that isnt mentioned in that pope interview. It is just your personal conclusion. Wikipedia is not about personal conclusions and activism it is about facts. 93.86.91.234 (talk) 21:26, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Your personal conclusion is very ridiculous.JoeScarce (talk) 21:28, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

seems you dont get what theory is and what theory definition take and what content is. Advocacy or pov opinions, you should leave to own blog or twitter or something, not to wikipedia. Pushing own views can take you just to be blocked. 93.86.91.234 (talk) 21:33, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Seems like your opinion is only laughable to me. Others seem to revert the bias deletions you made to some of my other edits on other articles as well. Let's work as team and follow the NPOV policyJoeScarce (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

You cherrypicked stuff and made own conclusion and you cant make any argument at all.93.86.91.234 (talk) 21:50, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

No, you can't make an argument at all and are making me laugh. It's the reason why you went to talk to someone with a Che Guevara poster, which also shows bias in me potentially getting blocked.JoeScarce (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

sorry but you dont play fair and you use wikipedia as promotional tool. I dont know what your motives are but it is just strange and funny.93.86.91.234 (talk) 21:57, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

There is no correlation. So, no need to add that to this article Banovicmiki14 (talk) 01:42, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Ancient Egypt

The paragraph on Egypt doesn't make sense. The point of the just war theory is to establish the absolute limits to availability of war for any politician. The paragraph basically describes that Egyptians were so imperialist (to use the modern terminology) and jingoistic, that basically any conquest of the surrounding nations was justified as “white man’s burden” of the Ancient times, i.e., that there were basically no limits, even theoretical ones, for Egyptian pharao to conduct a war at will. Ceplm (talk) 21:20, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Other branches of Christianity

The part talking about Christian talks about Catholic Christianity and only adds the Russian Orthodox Church as a subsection. The views written in the section are not universal among Christians. The New Testament and pacifism is not linked at all in this page which it should be in the section of Christianity. 93.109.80.5 (talk) 16:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Christian pacifism has its own article, but you should note that pacifist groups like the Anabaptists and the Christadelphians have had a rather minor impact on military history. Dimadick (talk) 08:16, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Restoration of links to Robert L. Holmes and Barry L. Gan

Ciao fellow Wikipedia editors: Just a quick note to explain the restoration of links to the professional philosphers Robert L. Holmes and Barry L. Gan within additional text for the section Just War Traditiion which was deleted on several instances by User:2804:7f4:3d80:1554:d701:62fe:29ab:cc2d on March 15, 2024 and March 7, 2024. In both instances User:2804:7f4:3d80:1554:d701:62fe:29ab:cc2d cited the additional text as "undue weight" and "self promotional". These objections seem unjustified in so far as:

1) The proposed text is included within a paragraph which already contains multiple links to several contemporary philosophers and scholars including: Jacques Maritain, Elizabeth Anscombe and John Finnis. each of whom cited the principles contained with the Just War Tradition to render ethical justifications for the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Cold War. None of these links are considered self-promotional within the context of the narrative. In addition, the texts and publications by Prof. Holmes and Prof. Gan are merely cited as references and are not explicitly mentioned or promoted by name or by title within the text itself.

2) The links to the scholarly works by Robert L. Holmesand Barry L. Gan are actually relevant (and not "over weighted") to the section on Just War Tradition in so far as they demonstrate that in the post Cold War era, some philosophical scholars objected to simply continuing to judge warfare as a "mater of course" by adopting an appeal to classical "Just War Theory" maxims. Instead, these scholars questioned whether the ethical foundations of these ethical maxims retained any relevance within the context of modern forms of waging war. The references also serve to document the philosophical "weight" or importance of the contributions made by each of these professional scholars in so far as they are sourced from professional peer reviewed journals on JSTOR.ORG and are open for all to read from within the reference citations.

I Hope that this helps to clarify the inclusion of these links into the paragraph. Thanks again for your thoughtful assistance and HAPPY EDITING! Respectfully, 21:38, 15 October 2024 (UTC)NHPL {[reflist}} 160.72.80.178 (talk) 21:38, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

These observations seem relevant and tend to support the additional content as proposed. I attempted a small rewording of the text to clarify that even as Just War Theory norms were continuously utilized to justify warfare in the modern era, several contemporary scholars such as Holms and Gan endeavored to establish whether the philosophical foundations of the Just War Doctrine remain consistent with established normative ontological ethical standards and therefore remain relevant within the context of modern nuclear warfare. I hope it helps. I also undid the deletion of the proposed text by User:remsense as per Wikipedia:UNRESPONSIVE in so far as he failed to reply to either of the justifications for the new text which were presented by User:160.72.80.178. I hope that this is OK as well. Good luck with the revisions, and thanks again.160.72.81.86 (talk) 16:57, 16 October 2024 (UTC)GCL160.72.81.86 (talk) 16:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)GCL

Again sock/ meat puppet thing that is prohibited at Wiki. AnAnicolaidis (talk) 03:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Included a new section

Hi fellow authors: just a quick note-- I included a new section on Criticisms of just War theory, i Hope it helps. Cia 160.72.80.178 (talk) 23:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC)NHPL

You are again the same editor who did sock/meat puppet stuff at Peace page and the talk page there. And it seems you don't give up. Also seems as to you possibly have some COI with spamming different articles with similar content. Crit sections are discouraged, and that content is preferable to be incorporated in the body of the article especially without talk page discussion. AnAnicolaidis (talk) 03:39, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
