Portal talk:Genocide

message: This Genocide portal was created by Carom at the request of EricSRodrigues154 on April 16, 2007 in the afternoon hours in EST. I will be adding information on "Genocide" in the next few days. 
I urge you all to assist Carom and I in our quest to make this portal a success. Thank you.

thread_title: More Information to come

message: From my talk page:
:I have reverted back to articles 9 & 10. They are related to genocide. The relationship between 'genocide' and an 'internment camp' is that both seperate and discriminate against people simply because of who they identify themselves as- ie. Jewish, Japanese, Armenian, Communists, etc. THe difference between the two is that a genocide results from killing people based upon those catagories. Essentially, an 'internment camp'/'concentration camp' are often precursers to genocide - ie. the actual killing of people based upon identified catagories. Over the weekend I am going to clean up the articles a bit, though, to clarify that relationship a bit more. In part, the purpose of the two articles was to provide information on the differences/simularities between a concentration camp and an internment camp. --user:EricSRodrigues154 04:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Links:
I changed the links page, the "Worst Genocides" link was incorrect because many of the atrocities listed don't fit the definition of genocide.  I added links to the Yale genocide studies program and the Institute for genocide studies. I also edited the quotes page (I did this yesterday because the quotes were from people such as Jon Corzine, which is totally bizarre).  I changed the quotes to more appropriate people and cleaned the markups a bit. DuckyBaby2 15:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Which edit did you make to change "Worst Genocides" link I can not find it? On Portal:Genocide/Quote I have reverted to the last version by PBS see WP:V because "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation". --PBS 19:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Worst Genocides

message: On December 16th, 2007, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, with a consensus of more than 80%, passed a resolution recognizing the Pontic Greek, Anatolian Greek, and Assyrian Genocides, perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire between 1914 and 1923. A press release by IAGS with the full text of the resolution is here. The supporting documentation for the resolution is here. The relevant WP articles have been updated with the resolution itself. Supporting documentation may need to also be included. NikoSilver 01:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Please explain why you think that an image is an "emblem for Genocide" and not just eye candy for the portal. --PBS (talk) 10:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genocide portal image 

message: Currently, there is only one entry on the selected biography page of the genocide portal. I would like to add eight additional notable scholars in the field, with the hopes of people adding more as appropriate. It appears that the current format is just a cut and paste from Dr. Stanton's wikipedia page. It seems to me that this is not the format discussed in the templates outline, which would favour a more summarized approach with a direct link to the wikipedia page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Selected_biography . Is it appropriate for me to rework this section?  I am a new user to wikipedia and do not want to step on anyone's toes.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:31, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello, I just stumbled across this portal, and I found the logo to be in incredibly poor taste. In my opinion, a laurel wreath around a capital G with a nice underline is so completely out of touch with a topic like this, I find it disgusting. Can we really not find a more neutral logo, in fact, no logo (the default puzzle piece) is better than this. I don't know the way forward but before bringing it up at ANI or removing it myself I thought I posted this section here. Mvbaron (talk) 09:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: @Mvbaron Would a clip art picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp be better? It is immediately identifiable with the subject matter and carries the somber overtones entailed. Alternatively, a skull would also seem proper given the connotations and immediately apparent symbolic meaning. I would like to propose both of these as alternatives to the current logo.

replies: text: Ah sorry, I forgot this thread. This has been resolved: the old logo was removed and replaced with the default portal logo. Between the two proposals you made, I don’t have a preference really. I’m also not involved with this portal at all, so I don’t think I’ll be of much help here.
