Pinging @WWGB

I will first request that this is not shared around, but I am a member of Sydney's Jewish community and know many victims and survivors of the attack. Had I not been overseas at the time, I would have likely been at the event as I had in previous years (one of the groups who organized it is run by a friend of mine, and I received an email invite 2 days before it happened – it was very upsetting to look back on)

Matilda's middle name is similar to "Bee" but the Guardian were incorrect, it's not literally the word bee. Her last name has been shared online as if it were fact, but journalists have just guessed based on the name of one of her parents.

Additionally, I should note that I have removed info about a funeral of one of the victims (it was an outlier, no other victims had this kind of information shared). Aside from the fact that I can't see it being pertinent to the article, his family are private people and were uncomfortable with the amount of publicity surrounding his death, including publicity generated by our prime minister attending the funeral.

I find it hard to disclose a "conflict of interest" in any edit summary for that page, I think it's an unsuitable term for such a horrible event, and as such I have only edited it about 3 times (to add the invisible note about Matilda, to remove that detail above, and to alter a hyperlink). My 'word' is not usable in the page for obvious reasons but if you are ever not confident about what a source says or how reliable it may be, you can ask and I will usually know.

Thank you both for maintaining the page to a high degree and caring about the little details. Much of my community (me obviously not included) disapprove strongly of Wikipedia and feel that it is, at its core, a biased propaganda website. The love and care you have poured into preventing any of that from happening to the page is appreciated. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 21:01, 29 January 2026 (UTC)

@Liz should I create them first or add them to pages first? Is there a right order? Late Night Coffee (talk) 21:03, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, LateNightCoffee,

A practice on Wikipedia is to use existing categories before emptying them out and creating new categories with slightly different titles. The category hierarchy that exists on Wikipedia have been created and built up over 25 years and it is unlikely that you, who have a month's experience as an editor, will come up with new categories, that hundreds of other editors have overlooked. This is not not intended as a slight to you, it's just an indication of the age of the project and the decades of work thousands of editors have spent working on it.

If you have questions about this, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:34, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi LateNightCoffee. Thank you for your work on Ethnic violence and religious persecution linked to ISIS. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Nice start! Please add a source for "Shia Muslims have been persecuted by the Islamic State (IS), an Islamist terrorist group, since 2014. Persecutions have taken place in Iraq, Syria, and other parts of the world." Thanks and have a great day!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Mariamnei}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
