Regarding your move of the page

Here. I think the move is fine, but it broke the talk page archiving system. Can you update the template so it links to the archives Talk:History of the Jews in Poland/Archive 7 and prior? TIA. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:43, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Murder article - your edits to the lead

You make some important points in your edits to the lede (lead) of the Murder article, but at present they appear to constitute original research. Statements in the lede do not require citations to reliable sources if the points made in the lede are discussed in the body of the article with citations to reliable sources. I did not see the points you made in the lede discussed in the body of the article (if I missed them, please let me know). I did not revert your edit because I think it's a valuable contribution if you can either provide citations in the lede or discuss those points in the body of the article (with citations to reliable sources).

Speedy deletion nomination of Merit Protection Commissioner

Hello Enthusiast01,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Merit Protection Commissioner for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I have restored the article and added the required attribution. Please consider adding some Wikiproject templates to the talk pages of your article creations. Thanks, — Diannaa (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Official Secretary to the Governor of Victoria you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

Official Secretary to the Governor of Victoria moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Official Secretary to the Governor of Victoria, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

ICC Palestine

Why would you add material without any source and then mark it as citation needed?Diff. I haven't looked too hard but I am pretty sure that multiple sources contradict this claim? I also don't understand why you are focused on things that are outside the temporal jurisdiction of the ICC, the ICC can't do anything about those so why is it relevant? Selfstudier (talk) 12:09, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

I added the points as to why the matters mentioned are outside the ICC’s jurisdiction to indicate, even before it starts, how one-sided the investigation will of necessity be. I was also going to add, to the effect, “and furthermore, the ICC investigation would look at any retaliation and counter-measure taken by Israel within the Gaza Strip, without regard to the actions by the Palestinians that led to them.” I’m sure these points are important to include and I’m sure I’m not original, though offhand I haven’t had the time to find the source. Also, these matters go to the court’s jurisdiction, and its limitations. Enthusiast01 (talk) 13:26, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

I thought it might be something like that. If you think the investigation is "one sided" then what we need are reliable sources saying that. Also any discussion along the lines of "who first caused the problem" (chain of causality) is going to go nowhere, how far back are you willing to go? 1917? Strictly in ICC terms, they cannot really go back to before they were set up, it is possible in some circumstances for the court to investigate things that took place before 13 June 2014 (continuing events, for example) and in any case, the ICC decides which crimes to prosecute, if any. A main idea of the ICC is to provide justice where none has been dealt. So to take the case of the teenagers, they were already subjected to trial and judgement so what would be the point in the ICC doing it again? Whereas in the case of the rockets, Gaza events, settlement enterprise, no such justice has been seen. As for the rockets, it is straightforwardly clear that the court has juridiction, idk where you have got the idea that they are excluded and really you should not include controversial statements like that unsourced.Selfstudier (talk) 13:50, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
