Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anti-war

message: I recently completed this article, as an attempt to fill an important gap on Wikipedia; I would much appreciate any attempts to expand and improve it. Specifically, my knowledge of US sponsored activities in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as in the middle-east, is not yet up to scratch; if an expert was willing to give them some attention, I would be very grateful.

replies: text: State sponsored terrorism is a bit extreme. I propose a name change to "United States Covert Operations" (the article for that basically includes all the examples and is very us-centric, with a subparagraph that says "US covert operations as terrorism" or something of the sort, with opinions on both sides. it's fact that the US has done some bad stuff especially during the Cold War but it's a bit of a fringe opinion/far left to dub this "terrorism" in the title. It's like having an article on the "Judiazation of Jerusalem", it's already a loaded and extreme opinion. --monochrome]]_monitor</small> 19:55, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  My thoughts were as follows. Virtually all contemporary academic sources, as well as media sources, agree that the actions described in the article constitute terrorism. The Cuban exiles are referred to as terrorists even by the US media; a few people stop short of calling the Contras a terrorist organization, but will unequivocally call their actions terrorism. Which is why I carefully chose the name state-sponsored terrorism, and not terrorists. These are a subset of US covert operations, and there are certainly sufficient sources to justify a separate article. If a country like Iran, or Pakistan, were involved, we would not hesitate to title the article such; and indeed, the corresponding article exist, for those countries. Why should we balk at naming the US, simply because it is the US? Vanamonde93 (talk) 07:35, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

This issue seems to me to be a very obvious violation of the Second Pillar. I am a little surprised that the prevailing Wikipedia culture isn't more politically acute and fair-minded. The matter is being appealed. Youknowwhatimsayin (talk) 17:15, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Congress of Unrepresented People - Anti Vietnam War[edit]
The "Committee To End the War in Vietnam" was formed at the Congress of Unrepresented People in Washington, DC. I was there and part of this small group of people - maybe 20-30. Some of the known leaders present in this group were Bayard Rustin, David Dellinger, Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman. I don't see this mentioned on the Anti-War Movement pages in Wikipedia that I just read.Judyt63 (talk) 06:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Jeremy Corbyn has always been actively involved in the dialogue of anti-war and listening to many struggling against others with greater military and political powers. Currently his page and recent off-shot (and politically unbalanced) page is under edit battle because he attended a ceremony (the was one or two its unclear) in a grave yard while at a conference in Tunis regarding Palestine situation in 2014. Have a look if you are interested. --  BOD -- 22:58, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

message: A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

message: Valued members of the WikiProject Anti-war!
Recognising the great work you all have been doing in regards to information related to anti-war movements, as well as articles about peace and nonviolent conflict resolution, we are reaching out on behalf of the newly formed Human Rights Team(HRT) at the Foundation. We are currently in the process of forming a Human Rights Interest Group (HRIG) that aims to listen to and address the various human rights concerns and challenges pertaining to the Movement, its members and the readers around the world interested in the content you produce. The HRIG is a cross-wiki, cross-cultural and cross-language initiative aiming to share knowledge regarding human rights ideas, movements and actors (both historical and current) from around the globe. With this in mind, we are reaching out to you to start a dialogue,  present our ideas, hear your feedback and perhaps find some motivated Wikimedians to turn the HRIG into a successful initiative. Should this be of interest to you, please feel free to reply here or reach out to us at talktohumanrightswikimedia.org. We very much much look forward to hearing from you. :) -–KUrban (WMF) (talk) 13:10, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project decides to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

message: You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject.  This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.
