| Sean, I'd just like to ask for clarification of the ratio edit that you reverted on ]. It doesn't seem to make sense that 182% of the casualties were civilians, which is the way most lay readers of Misplaced Pages will understand it. It ''does'' make sense to express this as "67% of the casualties were civilians". Note that 2:1 is expressed as 67% under the WWII section. The article should be consistent and clear enough for a non-mathematician to understand. ] (]) 14:18, 18 February 2014 (UTC) | |||

| :Apologies, I understand why you made that change now. I agree that it is far clearer for the reader to see statements of the form "67% of the casualties were civilians" or things like "The civilian to combatant fatality rate in World War II lies somewhere between 3:2 and 2:1, or from 60% to 67% ''of the total number of casualties were civilians''". But I think the word ratio should be used instead of rate. Rate is the wrong word. Yes, there really is no limit to my pedantry. Or maybe rate is the right word in this specific context. I don't know actually. Perhaps you do. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 4px 1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">''']''' - ''']'''</small> 14:38, 18 February 2014 (UTC) | |||

| My understanding of ''rate'' in this context is that it is a calculation of the casualties sustained within a given time period, as in ''annual casualty rate''. I agree with you that ''ratio'' is the correct term here, as we are comparing combatant casualties to noncombatant casualties. This article is really kind of a mess, but cleanup will require some serious research into the statistics, which is more than I have time to do at present. I'd like to add a section on civilian casualties in Afghanistan but the amount of information on this subject is massive.] (]) 15:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC) | |||

Exploitation of (fake) personal suffering
You wrote in the Sockpuppet investigation that Rajoub made such claims which made me remember that even HaOfa had made similar claims regarding his family in northern israel or Golan heights when he was late to reply in an ArbCom case. Theofunny (talk) 05:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Use of RfC for Contentious Topics
Hello. A question I thought you might be able to help me with. Given the failure of an edit request on a contentious topic to receive any reply, is the next step RfC? Many thanks. Johnadams11 (talk) 20:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
