Can someone with editing privileges revert the statement "Norwegian nationalism" to "white nationalism" in the introduction section? I don't know who changed it, or why that person has editing privileges and I don't, but we discussed this at length earlier. Furthermore, of the many alternative titles to the sentiments we were trying to capture with the label "white nationalist," Norwegian nationalist makes the least amount of sense, and stinks somewhat of sympathizing euphemism. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 14:55, 17 April 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:"Norwegian nationalist" makes perfect sense seeing as how he is an advocate of Norway as a state for ethnic Norwegians, not "white" people. There is a difference between "white" and "Norwegian" and Breivik clearly is concerned more with the latter. Perhaps you think that labeling him a "Norwegian nationalist" is a sympathetic euphemism, but I think labeling him a "white nationalist" is just an attempt to roll him into the the "white supremacist", "Neo-Nazi" category with all of its associations. Perhaps you don't realize that "nation" actually means a people, or ethnic group. --] (]) 12:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC) |

::I have reviewed the source for "white nationalist" and come to the conclusion that it is a sub-standard source without corroboration. In fact, we have a contradiction for this label elsewhere in the article. I have therefore removed the label and also other text referenced from the same source, a U.S. PhD student. __] (]) 21:33, 7 July 2012 (UTC) |

:::I'm glad that "white nationalism" was removed, but I have my doubts about the use of "ultranationalism" as well. I don't think that had been there before. First, later on in the article we have Thomas Hegghammer saying that he's not an "ultranationalist." Additionally, I can't find the term being used in the Washington Post article source. The "ultranationalism" link sends you to the paragraph definition, most of which sounds nothing like what Breivik believed in. Authoritarianism, demagoguery of leadership, tight control over business, genocide do not fit the bill for Breivik. That sounds a lot like fascism and National Socialism, both of which Breivik was vehemently opposed to. The only overlap is reduction or stoppage of immigration and deportation of foreigners. Broadly speaking, "ethnic nationalism" is a much better fit. "Norwegian nationalism" is more specific. I think the reluctance to label him a "Norwegian nationalist" is due to a confusion between "civic nationalism" and "ethnic nationalism." True "nations" are ethnic groups and the original meaning of "nationalism" was "ethnic nationalism." I think people are reluctant to say he's a "Norwegian nationalist" because they think it strips the focus away from the fact that he was concerned with ethnicity and culture, and not simply "the state" of Norway. "Norwegian ethno-nationalist"? It's actually redundant. --] (]) 22:07, 7 July 2012 (UTC) |

::::Now, I read the ''Washington Post'' article from July 25, 2011 which was used to support the labels ''ultranationalism'', ''right-wing populism'' and ''islamophobia''. I couldn't find it mentioning any of the three. I wonder what is behind that. Perhaps sources have become mixed up in the editing process. In any case, I removed the first two but left ''islamophobia'' since that seems well established and uncontroversial, and I also removed the source from the article altogether since it was only used to reference information which it actually didn't mention. __] (]) 08:16, 8 July 2012 (UTC) |

@ElkanahTingley. Actually, "ethno-nationalist" wouldn't be redundant since the latin word "natio" can refer both to the greek "demos" as well as the greek "ethnos". In modern Europe, first Nationalists were Democrats (not neccessarily Republicans, and don't mix these terms up with the U.S.-parties) who refused imperial rule as well as ] and proclaimed a (then often non existing) independent and unified nation state. It was later, when these nation states already had been established, when nationalist beliefs began to shift towards ethnically "clean" and homogeneous states. However, according to most of his writings, Breivik doesn't interest himself so much for the "purity of blood" (or does he? - I haven't read them all) but more for some kind of "purity of a monolithic christian culture". True? So maybe the right expression for that kinda standpoint still has to be found.--] (]) 09:33, 25 August 2012 (UTC) |

I urge you to delete the suggestion that Breivik's manifesto supports Zionism. Seeing as Breivik is a white supremacist and his writings show no understanding of zionism, it is hard to see how he should sympathise with the plight of the Jewish people. It is at the very least controversial, but most likely an insidious accusation to mention zionism it in the same sentence as right-wing populism, Islamophobia, and anti-feminism. This politicised comparison intends to defame Zionism by linking it to a vicious white supremacist killer is in clear violation of Misplaced Pages's policies. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 16:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Breivik is not racist (Islam is not a race, nor are women a race) and thus by definition not a white supremacist. He is a far-right terrorist/revolutionary/nutjob (select your viewpoint) and a pro-zionist. This is fact. We can't change facts you don't like, sorry. |

::I agree, Breivik is definitely not a white supremacist, which is a US-centric term not very relevant in Norway anyway. He is primarily an Islamophobe. Support for Israel plays a major role in his worldview. In his manifesto, he describes his main goal as "A cultural conservative approach where monoculturalism, moral, the nuclear family, a free market, ''support for Israel'' and our Christian cousins of the east, law and order and Christendom itself must be central aspects (unlike now)". He was also a member of the Progress Party, the only party in Norway to declare itself as hardline pro-Israel while all the other parties take a nuanced or critical approach to Israel. He also wrote for the website ], a hard right website known for its support for Israel and anti-Muslim commentary. ] (]) 08:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
:::It is also important to distinguish Breivik's views from other European far-right movements, many of which are anti-Semetic and race-based. However, it might be appropriate to show that he advocates a homeland for Muslims just like he advocates homelands for Jews, Hindus, Japanese, and Norwegians. He is against Muslims in "his country" and against Europeans in theirs. He has this obsession with mono-cultures. This would explain his pro-Zionism. ] (]) 12:16, 21 April 2012 (UTC) |

:::Breivik is a nationalist. He believes every nation needs a home, no matter what. He isn't an Islamophobe per se (although he definitively dislikes Islam) he just doesn't want it in the Christian world. In the end of the day, he openly admitted to thinking of using Al Qaeda tactics. An Islamophobe would never admit that. That is why he attacked what he called "traitors" and "cultural marxists" and not muslims like most would expect to ] (]) 08:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC) |

I can quote from the "Jerusalem Post" article: "In one passage, he lashes out at the Western media, which he accuses of unfairly focusing on the wrongdoing of Jews./ “Western Journalists again and again systematically ignore serious Muslim attacks and rather focus on the Jews,” he wrote./ Breivik also took a jab at leftwing Jews./ “Jews that support multi-culturalism today are as much of a threat to Israel and Zionism as they are to us,” he continued./ “So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists.”/ He also stated that Israel is the homeland for Jews largely due to the persecution suffered by Jews at the hands of Muslims, saying “if one acknowledges that Islam has always oppressed the Jews, one accepts that Israel was a necessary refuge for the Jews fleeing not only the European, but also the Islamic variety of anti- Judaism.”] (]) 01:51, 14 August 2012 (UTC) |

== Understanding the sentence == |
|
|
|
|

When someone is sentenced to "forvaring" (containment) (see http://no.wikipedia.org/Forvaring ), they receive a "time frame" (tidsramme) and a "minimum time" (minstetid). The maximum time frame is 21 years and the maximum minimum time is 10 years. A containment sentence can theoretically be extended indefinitely, as long as the convict is considered a danger to society. A containment sentence with a time frame of 21 years and a minimum time of 10 years is the maximum penalty in Norway and roughly equal to "life sentences" in other European countries. (a "life sentence" elsewhere usually means you serve 15-25 years). ] (]) 10:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:The translation of "forvaring" found in any judicial books is "preventive detention" or "preventive custody". Kriminalomsorgen uses "preventive detention" . So, 21 years + 5 years + 5 years + 5 years + ... + 5 years, until dead because of old age or something else. ] (]) 14:28, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |

::Thanks for correcting this translation. ] (]) 20:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |

|
|
|

Once again, it's not quite correct that he was sentenced to "21 years in jail". If you get sentenced to preventive detention, you are formally ''sentenced to preventive detention'' with a time frame and a minimum time. The time frame is 21 years, but it doesn't mean you'll be in prison for 21 years, it could be less or it could be more. After the minimum time, he can be evaluated for a possible release. ] (]) 20:45, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |

The lead is too long. It also gives the killer far too much of the kind of coverage he craved - almost bordering on a bizarre kind of justification. Those who have worked so much on this article might consider reducing some of it a little. Breivik was, after all, just another mass-murdering crank intent on getting his name in the media. ] (]) 15:13, 24 August 2012 (UTC) |

In fact, 4 paragraphs is the recommended length per MOS, so the lead is geneally not too long.

"Far right" is a pov term that should also not be used (and the meanings of "far right" or "far left" vary greatly from country to country). "Militant ideology" is also pov. Brevik’s manifesto was not "Islamophobia, support of Zionism and opposition to feminism" – that is just the opinion of certain commentators who have characterised its content thus.

Why is the content about the attacks reduced to a few sentences while the trial section given enormous coverage? An article about a person should be concentrate on the things that person has done or written about, not to things that were out of that person's immediate control (like, in this case, the trial). ] 16:13, 27 August 2012 (UTC) |

::Meowy, the reason we don't focus on what he's written is because Breivik is terrible bigot, conspiracy theorist, and only barely sane; and so we instead go with what is written about Breivik. Most of those sources concluded he was far-right (seeing how he was a strong nationalist opposed to liberalism, socialism, communism, and multiculturalism, that's a pretty apt description) and a terrorist (he committed violent acts and threatened more to try to scare people into complying with his batshit ideology, that's terrorism). Most of the sources focus on the trial because the shooting was only one day, while the trial has gone on a long time. That's why the article is written the way it is, not because of some bias. Any perception of bias is your fault. ] (]) 16:50, 27 August 2012 (UTC) |

::"...committed violent acts and threatened more to try to scare people into complying with its batshit ideology" - sounds rather like an everyday example of the foreign policy of the United States of America. Which is why the phrase "terrorist" is so pov that it should not be used. On Misplaced Pages terrorisim can't be used to decribe the foreign policy of the United States, or the policy of individuals or groups (unless they call themselves by that term) no matter how many people call it exactly that. At the most, all we could have is a source that describing such policy as terroristic or such a person or organisation as a terrorist - and it would not be in the lead. ] 19:57, 27 August 2012 (UTC) |

:: Er. The directly states that he was charged with both murder and terrorism, and a part of the sentencing (15:53-16:08) goes into detail how his attacks indeed constitute terrorism. If that's not good enough for you, 's another one that states outright that he was found guilty of terrorism. As I had told you on your talk page, I won't object to rephrasing the article, but the fact that he was found guilty of terrorism needs to be mentioned in the article lead. (Aside: The ] article does in fact say in its lead that he was listed by the United States among the "Most Wanted Terrorists". It characterizes the al-Qaeda attacks as "mass-casualty attacks" rather than "terrorist attacks"; presumedly, it's because not all their attacks constitute terrorism - many working definitions of ] require the attack to be directed at civilians.) - ] (]) 21:40, 27 August 2012 (UTC) |

*I also disagree with the "compromise" phrasing; he is not just "noted" to be a terrorist. "He is a convicted mass murderer and and terrorist" means "he was found guilty of murder and terrorism", which is exactly the case; the introduction of this ] removes crucial information from the article lead. If the article needs to be rephrased, I would suggest something like "He is the perpetrator of the 2011 Norway attacks, convicted of murder and terrorism".

***The lede sentence could stand to be improved slightly, it feels like it flows a little awkwardly around the word 'convicted' and whether it attaches to 'mass murderer', 'terrorist' or both. What about the following: 'Anders Behring Breivik is a self-proclaimed political activist from Norway, convicted in 2012 of terrorism and mass murder'? (self-proclaimed optional) I think the formulation 'convicted of' is more clear than using 'convicted' as an adjective here, and less open to argument about whether he can appropriately be called a 'terrorist'. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-size:0.75em">– ] <span style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:-0.4em;line-height:1em">‹]›<br/>‹]›</span></span> 06:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC) |

:Breivik's actions, and the evaluations of what could make him do such things, have stirred up a lot of controversies in the midst of what was a very horrific and tragic event. The political aspects of the matter have also contributed to this. It is natural that people, including Misplaced Pages editors, have strong feelings about the subject matter and the way the article should describe it. There have been trolls here who want to push aa POV apologetic to Breivik or just stir up trouble, but for the most part I think the discussions have been in good faith.

The lede is full of pov wording. "Terrorist" is a pov term and should not be used in Misplaced Pages articles. "Far right" is a pov term that should also not be used. "Militant ideology" is also pov. Brevik’s manifesto was not "Islamophobia, support of Zionism and opposition to feminism" – that is just the opinion of certain commentators who have characterised its content thus. "Attrocities" is also pov and should be stricken from the article. Murder is also non-neutral. I will make the changes as proposed. ] (]) 19:11, 29 August 2012 (UTC) |

|
|

I hope it's obvious that I'm not a sock. Nor am I a Breivik apologist, and I'm not about to argue that mass murder isn't an atrocity. However, troll or not, Meowy was right that "atrocity" is not a neutral term. According to Wiktionary, an ] is "an extremely cruel act; a horrid act of injustice". We are not here to pass judgement, and just because a vast majority of people agree that his crimes were horrendous, that doesn't make it objectively true. |
|
|
|
|
|
The article only uses the word once, in the lead: "Breivik wrote that his main motive for the atrocities was to market his manifesto." This usage could easily be substituted for something else, like "his crimes", without affecting the meaning of the sentence in the slightest. Ordinarily, I'd boldly make the change myself, but I suspect such a move would not be well-received, so I'm making an attempt to reach a consensus beforehand. ] (]) 14:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC) |

:'''Oppose'''. The ] policy does warn against judgemental terms, but there is an important caveat. The text of the policy is: |
|
|
{{quote|Prefer nonjudgmental language. A neutral point of view neither sympathizes with nor disparages its subject (or what reliable sources say about the subject), although this must sometimes be balanced against clarity. Present opinions and conflicting findings in a disinterested tone.}} |
|
|
:Note the "clarity" caveat. Merely describing the methodical shooting of children as "crimes" doesn't provide sufficient emphasis to describe the how the population in general viewed what he did. "His main motive for his crimes was to market his manifesto" is an overly sympathetic sentence; it gives the impression that Breivik merely broke the law to get attention for his work. If what he did is an atrocity, and virtually everyone agrees that it was (hence: no "conflicting findings"), then there is no violation of the NPOV policy to describe it as such. "No passing of judgement" is sound, but not an absolute. Taken to its logical conclusion, we would have to replace all descriptions of "murder" with the more neutral "homicide". ] ] 15:57, 31 August 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:::"...it gives the impression that Breivik merely broke the law to get attention for his work" – Yes, that's what I thought that sentence was saying. It says the same thing no matter which word is used. |
|
|
|
|
|
:::To kill so many people to market your manifesto is obviously deplorable; the reader is perfectly capable of making that judgement themselves. "Crime" isn't sympathetic, it's neutral. To me, "atrocities" makes the sentence overly accusative; it sounds like the article's trying to make a point – "Isn't it despicable that he did all this just to get attention?" I don't doubt the good faith of the people who wrote it, I'm just saying that's how it comes across to me, and doubtless to others. It just doesn't sit well with our aim of encyclopedic neutrality. It doesn't matter that everyone agrees it was an atrocity, we still can't describe it as such. |
|
|
|
|
|
:::Let me give you an example of what I mean. Everyone agrees that 9/11 was a tragedy. Thousands of reliable sources refer to it as a tragedy. Yet the ] article doesn't contain the word "tragedy" (or any of its synonyms). Why? Because an encyclopedia article must be impartial and objective, and "tragedy" is a subjective term. It's an opinion, not a fact. Anyone reading the 9/11 article would likely conclude that the event was a tragedy, but we can't directly ''tell them'' to think that. |
|
|

:::"Atrocities" ''is'' judgemental language, and no clarity would be lost by replacing it with "crimes", so according to WP:NPOV, that's what we should do. ] (]) 17:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC) |
|
|
::::The fact that the 9/11 article doesn't use every adjective that could be applicable doesn't really prove anything. The first paragraph of the 9/11 article uses for instance "terrorist", also a negative "judgemental" term (but one that is perfectly accurate). "Atrocity" is not a word to avoid when what is being described is an atrocity. It is used as a factual description in several articles that warrant it (e.g. ]) and even in article titles (e.g. ] and ]) so your interpretation of NPOV policy does not reflect Misplaced Pages practice. ] ] 18:38, 31 August 2012 (UTC) |

:::::"Terrorist" isn't a negative judgemental term, it's a legitimate word used to describe someone who engages in terrorism. Terrorism is easily defined; the use of terror to further political goals can be objectively described as act of terrorism (just as "murder" can be objectively applied to mean the deliberate killing of another person).

|
== Information Needed on Breivik's Pro-Bono Legal Corporations == |
|
Breivik's own manifesto clearly indicates that his primary grievance was multiculturalism, and therefore he sympathises with and supports nationalism and nation-states in many of their manifestations. The singling out of his support of Zionism, while ignoring all other nationalisms, while ignoring the fact that this was simply a facet of his broader support for nation-states grounded in his opposition to multiculturalism is done with ''specific intent'' to attach a despicable man to Zionism, Israel, and the Jewish people. Moreover, it is also an attempt to associate Zionism with terrorism, mass murder, and other horrible acts. Just because the Jerusalem Post mentions his support for Zionism DOES NOT mean that this support was central to his core ideological leanings or political philosophy, and by extension to his motivations for carrying out a mass murder. The mention of Zionism should ONLY be mentioned in the context of his broader support for nationalism and nation-states, and should certainly NOT be in the introductory paragraph listen as a central focus of his ideological leanings/political philosophy/motivations. ] (]) 06:48, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

*We are not singling out Zionism; Breivik did. There's no reason to remove or downplay this information just because of your concerns of guilt by association. (After all, even Hitler believed that two plus two equals four.) - ] (]) 12:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

**Except Breivik didn't single out Zionism, he talked about his support for nationalism in a general sense while opposing multiculturalism. I've clearly stated this fact in my initial contribution, which you've unsurprisingly COMPLETELY ignored. His writings about Zionism and Israel dealt primarily with the unique experience they've had with Islam/Islamism/Islamic terrorism/Muslims, which he thought provided important lessons to Europe to combat what he viewed as a gradual and softer Islamic conquest via contemporary immigration and multiculturalism policies. The article is dishonestly singling out Zionism for transparent reasons, and you're sticking up for it. Predictably, the actual manifesto itself IS NOT sourced. God forbid one should actually go to the widely available primary source that laid out this man's ideology, political philosophy, and motivations for mass murder. Even the video he compiled is not linked in the article. ] (]) 16:07, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

*** Exactly: Breivik's support of Zionism is connected to his opposition to Islam, and the Misplaced Pages article correctly links the two. Indeed, commentators have referred to this. (Misplaced Pages articles are generally sourced to secondary sources; drawing conclusions from a primary source would constitute ] which is outside the scope of Misplaced Pages.) - ] (]) 16:48, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

****No, this is misleading, the editors of the article are clearly trying to characterise Zionism as an anti-Islamic ideology, which is of course nonsensical. I don't understand how actually drawing on clear statements that Breivik made in his own manifesto and video (which are predictably not linked in this article) in English constitutes "original research". Breivik also made no mention of Zionism in his 12-minute video, but the reader is dishonestly propagandised to believe that support for Zionism (and not nationalism in a broader sense) was a primary driver of his actions, and a fundamental component of his ideology/political philosophy. This is done by design for transparently anti-Zionist reasons. You're still ignoring the basic fact that Breivik did not single out Zionism, contrary to your earlier dishonest statement. Looks like I'm going to have to edit this article...] (]) 17:06, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

** The Misplaced Pages article does not imply that Zionism is anti-Muslim; please don't accuse the editors of ulterior motives. You have said, and I have agreed, that Breivik supported Zionism ''precisely because he opposes Islam''. That's why the two are linked in the lead. As for your suggestion of using Breivik's manifesto (which is indeed linked to in the references, though just as a source about itself): Please read the policy against ]. Primary sources should be only used for simple facts; drawing conclusions from them should be left to secondary sources, which can be used as references. - ] (]) 17:21, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

***That is NOT what I said, his support for Zionism was grounded in his broader support for nationalism, and the opposite of contemporary multiculturalism policies. His talk of Zionism was primarily with respect to its greater experience with Islam and and what Breivik describes as Islamic conquest/imperialism. He refers to Zionism specifically as a cautionary tale for Europe to learn from with respect to its currently changing demographics, specifically with respect to the growing proportion of its population that self-identify as Muslims. |

**Exactly. "Any interpretation of the manifesto must be based on a reliable secondary source". Bobinisrael appears to be proposing to edit the article according to his interpretation of the source - which is against ] policy, and will be deleted. And lay off the ridiculous accusations of 'dishonesty', unless you wish to be blocked from editing entirely. We comment on Breivik's support for Zionism in the article because multiple commentators have done the same - including Ben Hartman of the ''Jerusalem Post'' - was Hartman's statement that Breivik supports "far-right Zionism" an attempt to discredit Israel? Obviously not. ] (]) 17:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

***This argument amounts to, "I can't be anti-Semitic because I have a Jewish friend". A stupidly written article at the Jerusalem Post hardly supports the dishonest narrative being put forward here that describes Zionism as one of Breivik's primary ideological motivators. More importantly, the article is being used as support for a point in a dishonest context, for reasons I've already explained. If the assertion of Zionism being central to Breivik's ideology was true (and it most certainly IS NOT true), then why not add a hyperlink at the bottom of the page to connect this article to "Zionist terrorism"? ] (]) 23:25, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

***While you claim that I ''appear'' to be proposing an edit based on "original research", you on the other hand blatantly misrepresented a Misplaced Pages policy in stating that any reference to primary sources (either Breivik's manifesto or the 12-minute video he composed) made by me will be instantly deleted, without exception. Your own words were, "any content you add sourced from there will be deleted". That is NOT what the Misplaced Pages policy referenced in the note at the top of the page entails. So much for good faith.] (]) 23:25, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

::::Please take your BS elsewhere. Anyone who's first post includes a statement that "The singling out of his support of Zionism, while ignoring all other nationalisms, while ignoring the fact that this was simply a facet of his broader support for nation-states grounded in his opposition to multiculturalism is done with ''specific intent'' to attach a despicable man to Zionism, Israel, and the Jewish people" deserves to be told that such comments aren't acceptable. ] (]) 22:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC) |

While an almost-obfuscatory blizzard of questions have been raised on this webpage around "What is sanity?" (And more obliquely, perhaps: "What are the limits of a democratic society?"), Breivik/Hansen's ideological work and dogged tactics suggest continued support by the larger global Antienlightenment/military-feudal restoration community that has not been criminalized outside Norway, but has rather risen to ideological and political leadership globally. To understand Breivik/Hansen, it seems most pertinent to understand the community of extraordinary ongoing support. Given their extraordinary donation of valuable legal expertise and time in a country in which public funding for criminal defense is the norm, Øystein Storrvik and Geir Lippestad are obvious connections to such a national and international Antienlightenment, military-feudal restoration community. ] (]) 02:07, 7 December 2024 (UTC) |

"Two teams of court-appointed forensic psychiatrists examined Breivik before his trial. The first team diagnosed Breivik with paranoid schizophrenia, but after this initial finding was criticized, a second evaluation concluded that he was not psychotic during the attacks but did have narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder."--Justification: the main trials are mentioned, and judges have convicted him (2011, 2012, and at least one more time).--No verdict has sentenced him to serve time in a mental health facility.--All the mental health stuff can be mentioned in the rest of the article, and in the sections dedicated to all his trials.--Please be bold, and move from lede (to, say, this thread or Talk page).--And then i will suggest how we can trim the lede even further. 2001:2020:331:B91D:3934:C29:BDF:3F9 (talk) 18:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
