Contentious topics

Hello. Just wanted to let you know that editors who have made less than 500 edits and have been around for less than 30 days can only make edit requests at article talk pages related to the Arab–Israeli conflict per WP:ARBECR, so I had to remove your !vote at the move discussion for 2024 Israeli ground operation in Lebanon. Thank you for understanding. Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:54, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi. While perfectly entitled to question the validity of sources, in this this edit you (likely without meaning to do so) removed text that is supported by multiple reliable refs. For example, where the infobox said "3-5 Indians killed" your changed it to read "3 Indians killed". Despite the fact that multiple sources (including the ones you removed) state that "The Gurkhas suffered five fatalities and twelve wounded" and "The Gurkhas, who had expressed displeasure with the way Force Kane II was being led, suffered five killed in action and twelve wounded in action". Similarly, multiple sources (including this and this and Quinlan's own signed record of his own Company) expressly give that there were 156 members of Company A. And that the "156 members of 'A' Company were [captured]". And yet, despite this, you changed the infobox to state that there were 155. Please be more careful and selective when making updates like that. And try to avoid making broad edits that impact text that, it seems, you didn't actually intend to change. Thanks.

Hello. I'm sorry, that was an honest mistake from my part, I absolutely did not mean to do that - I'm not the best when it comes to edits involving all them linked things. With that said, what I meant to solely edit has once again been undone by this user "Tan Khaerr", which rests solely on some Congolese book from 1963 (besides which he goes on about how the casualty figures of the battle are only "Irish politics", whatever that is supposed to mean): this seems very dubious and he should provide more better sources. I'm not the best person to carry on editing the article - but you certainly seem to know what you are doing with editing, while also having interest in the subject matter. I would therefore ask of you to watch out for what "Tan Khaerr" is doing in the article. With regards, Carius (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I am also unsure what the editor means by "claimed by the Irish politics" (not least given that those behind several of the sources [incl Whelan and Power] were not involved in Irish politics and Irish politicians largely ignored the events for decades). And consider that the editor's other statement, about "the most suspicious thing is this estimate of 300 casualties caused by only 150 men", to read as a form of subjective opinion (which doesn't seem to account for the fact that the Irish company was supported by multiple armoured cars (firing 15,000 rounds) and the Katangese had no armour). However, if the source provided by the editor should be queried, then those concerns should be raised on the relevant article Talk page. Not, as that editor has also been separately advised, not via an edit-war or only in edit-summaries. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 12:27, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
