Talk:Snokhachestvo

I am requesting wider community input regarding multiple sourcing and accuracy issues in this article.

A detailed breakdown of the problems has been provided above on this talk page, but in summary the concerns include:

• quotations attributed to sources where the cited wording does not appear;
• misrepresentation of what sources actually state (including claims contradicted by the cited works);
• use of clearly irrelevant sources for historical claims;
• misleading internal links and unclear source attribution;
• insertion of analytical claims not supported by the cited references.

Several of these issues originate from a series of edits by one contributor, and despite partial later corrections, many problematic statements and citations remain in the article.

I would appreciate independent evaluation of whether the current content meets Wikipedia’s standards for verifiability, accurate use of sources, and reliable sourcing, and guidance on how these sections should be corrected.

Thank you for your time and input. Аксамит (talk) 19:37, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Talk:Dangrek genocide

This Request for Comment seeks community input on whether the current article framing accurately reflects what reliable sources explicitly establish.

Specifically: – Do the cited sources explicitly and consistently support presenting the events as “genocide”, including casualty figures and inferred intent, as settled facts without attribution? – Or should these elements be more carefully attributed or contextualized in line with WP:V, WP:SYNTH, WP:UNDUE, and WP:LABEL?
