Talk:Mass grave

message: The unattributed discussion of Iraqi Mass Graves at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_grave#Iraq is taken, word for word, from a US State Department publication, available on line at http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/27000.htm
It needs to be removed, or replaced with a more neutral assessment.

replies: text: Rod Hagan Hi Rod! I'm currently working on revising this article as I noticed there are several content gaps. I recently added a section, "War" and have begun to outline examples of mass graves stemming from wars. I would love to add a subsection under war for Iraq. Do you have any recommendations on good sources to use or suggestions on the best way to outline the Iraqi Mass graves without repeating all the information listed on Mass graves in Iraq? Thanks in advance for your help! maljohns (talk) 16:19, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

message: I would like to peel of individual massagraves by country and link them via a category rather than have disputes in the mother article about mass graves. Thanks 17:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Kanatonian I believe you were the one who wrote the above comment. I got your username from the Talk page's edit history. I have recently made revisions to the article but have decided to break down the mass graves by cause. So far I have added "War" and "Crime" as two causes. I plan to add additional sections for famine, natural disaster, epidemic and religious conflicts if I can find enough information from credible sources. I would greatly appreciate it if you could look over what I've added and I am open to all suggestions. Thanks! maljohns (talk) 16:26, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

message: A mass grave was found in May 2021 on the grounds of a Residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Canada. The bodies of 215 children, some as young as 3 were found. The school had only recorded the deaths of 51 children. 
Residential schools, were run by mainly the Canadian Government, and the Catholic Church. First Nation Children were forcefully, by law, taken from their families; with the intent to remove the “Indian” from the children. The schools were mainly run by The Canadian Government and the Catholic Church. The last school was closed in 1996. 
The Truth and Reconciliation report found that a cultural genocide had occurred. The Canadian Prime Minister has acknowledged it as such. Calls to the Catholic Church have been met with silence. 
There is a loud call for both the Government and the Catholic Church to begin investigations at the sites of the rest of the schools, to identify burial sites, identify the children and return them to their families. 
The survivors of the residential schools, have documented systematic sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, torture. There were an estimated 150,000 children who attended these schools. Prior to the discovery of the mass grave the deaths stood at just over 4,000. There are still 1000s of children who never returned home, and are still missing.

replies: text: Possibly...I think one could most certainly make a case against the Canadian government for systematic cultural genocide ('twas afterall the stated purpose of the boarding schools); whether these children were purposefully murdered, I'm more doubtful of. I've also heard of accounts of unmarked mass graves of children discovered on grounds of former Catholic Church-run boarding schools in other countries too, such as Ireland. I think the Catholic Church's practices of how their boarding schools were run constituted, at best, gross incompetence and reckless negligence/abuse. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:6033:FF4F:6CE5:7BA8 (talk) 23:18, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

message: I want to add a section about mass graves with victims from the Mongolian invasions, from the 13th century, but want to first confirm why this articles only mentions events in the past 200 years? My edits on this topic will have academic citations. Arty32 (talk) 02:58, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi, thought it best to double check, would the mass graves section on Israel/Palestine not count as breaking news per Breaking news sources?  (1) feels relevant, the specific claim that it's as a result of tanks running over civillians is pretty extraodinary, and it feels like it'd be a good idea to wait a little bit until someone other than one of the two states confirms that specific claim.  The UN source speaks in terms of maybes and "there have been reports" as well. Evaaaahhhh (talk) 21:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
