Template:Did you know nominations/Yeshivas in World War II
Charlie Smith FDTB, there is no presumption that sources are reliable. I take the perspective that memoirs are not generally reliable, as an individual person may be mistaken or misremember, as well as the possibility of occasional hoaxes. If cited at all, it should be attributed as the claims of so-and-so (unless you can find a reliable secondary source which corroborates the information).
The article also has other issues: some WP:editorializing ("warmly welcomed", "famous", "infamous"), non-cited information, and other sources which are questionable (dead link to "project witness" which, despite its claims, does not appear to be referenced in actual Holocaust research). (t · c) buidhe01:17, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your feedback on the WP:editorializing problems. I intend to fix them as soon as possible, if they're not fixed yet. It may take some time though, as I'm in school and have less time for editing. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:26, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Tales of Devotion is not a single memoir. Rather it's composed of conversations that Rabbi Dov Eliach had students in pre-World War II yeshivas. Among the interviewees were two students who were sent to do hard labor in the Komi Republic. As for the Project Witness source, it was a webinar about yeshivas in World War II, likely recorded, although the link may no longer exist.Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:44, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Buidhe, I removed the words "infamous" and "warmly welcomed", although I think the saying that the yeshivas were "famous" is a factual statement. Regarding the non-cited information, were you referring to anything specific? I will try to replace the Projcet Witness reference with more reliable sources. Thank you. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 20:54, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks! I don't think WP should take a position on whether Augustine is a saint, since he is not considered as such by all Christian denominations. (t · c) buidhe18:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
Hitler's Justice-- if you are looking for something to do
Hi Buidhe, hope all is well! While working on Robert F. Utter, I came across Hitler’s Justice by Inge Müller (author). It seems to be a very notable book in your area of expertise, why I came here. I don't consider myself competent enough in the area to write it myself, and while I'm sure that you have more than enough projects-- don't we all?-- this might be a worthwhile one. I was wondering if you could double check that my brief description of it ("about how the German legal system was complicit in The Holocaust") is more or less correct-- Am I missing something? Anyways, best wishes and stay safe. Eddie891Work15:28, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Favour?
Hi - you might have received a ping from the talk page of the Battle of Dunbar - Gog the Mild and I are needing a source review for its FAC, and I think you know what you're doing with this - I wondered if you'd be inclined to do us a favour and run through it for us? Please just say so if you're too busy, I'm sure we can rope someone else in, but I'd be most grateful if you'd be willing to take a look. Cheers GirthSummit (blether)18:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe - just checking whether you saw this? If you're too busy, or it's not of interest, let me know and I'll go pester someone else. For convenience, since I just realised I didn't provide links in my last message: Article, FAC review Cheers GirthSummit (blether)09:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
DYK for Business-firm party
On 30 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Business-firm party, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a business-firm party is a political party created and run by one person to further their own interests? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Business-firm party. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Business-firm party), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Jdcooper, MOS:CAPS states, "Misplaced Pages relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Misplaced Pages." It seems to me that the majority of English RS do not capitalize. The first page of Google results include several that do not capitalize: (t · c) buidhe22:00, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for compromising and removing OR, bordering on HOAX claims.
FYI even the most partisant source (the actors of one of the sides, thus most POV nonRS, etc. for this very claim) avoids "equates":

The section "Impact" is not balanced or neutral. You can't create a lengthy section relying on only one single source. The source used (the CoE) is also biased itself towards the court (obviously). A source being biased is not in and of itself a problem (few sources are actually neutral), but for balance other sources must be added too. 123username (talk) 06:54, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
Is that helpful somehow? Instead of having actual information? People should be forced look at another article to get information which the title of this page describes they should get?★Trekker (talk) 22:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
*Treker, Excerpting shows the relevant content on the page. It is not the same as a "see also" link which does force you to click on a link to see more information. (t · c) buidhe22:17, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
As a prolific image reviewer at FAC, I figured you might have some insight. I'm wanting to take a picture of this page in this 1950 publication. Normally I'd assume this wouldn't be allowed, but as a reproduction of music I'm wondering if an exception of some kind exists? Best, Aza24 (talk) 07:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Raid on Gaborone article
You reverted the article back to it's previous, obviously politically biased state, which referred to South Africans leaving the country to escape Apartheid persecution as "terrorists". Due to your actions the article now again uses badly sourced and biased material to spin a narrative that tries to glorify and justify this act of terror against the sovereign nation of Botswana, an act of terror by the Apartheid government which prompted a swift diplomatic response by the United States, the United Kingdom, many other countries and the United Nations. Please refrain from further disruptive edits in favour of extremist narratives!
HartaMarta (talk) 08:05, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Dear Buidhe, would you please consider doing a source review for the article Pepi I Meryre, which is currently at FAC ? The article has been posted there a while ago and as received only one text review so far, so I am worried about it failing for want of reviews, in particular image and source ones. Thank you.Iry-Hor (talk) 11:30, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
Iry-Hor, I am actually backlogged at the moment, unfortunately, although it's possible I might be able to do it after clearing out what I already promised to do. (t · c) buidhe11:46, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
On 13 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Milan Mazurek, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
