Whitewashing of genocide in Australia
I don't have permission but can you add this?
An editor has removed all mention of genocide from the lead and body of the Australia article.
Source to cite:
https://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/
I'm requesting that this is added to the lead and body:
The arrival of British settler colonizers began in 1788, leading to a genocide of the Indigenous Aboriginal population, mass killings, forced assimilation, and their confinement to various Aboriginal reservations.
Absolutely shocking that this is not shown.

But not everybody is able to legally read Wikipedia, and not everybody is able to legally edit Wikipedia.
- News and notes: Wikimedia Foundation shares ANI lawsuit updates; first admin elections appoint eleven sysops; first admin recalls opened; temporary accounts coming soon?
Defamation, privacy, censorship, and elections.

Asian News International, the Delhi High Court, and the encyclopedia.

Your photos are more valuable than you may realize.

What is going on?

And Tata too!

Many such cases.

About berbers RFC
Not trying to start a conversation here, just wanted to note that the discussion is about the infobox, not the content of the article itself, in case an edit war starts due to a misunderstanding seeing that you added a wrong note in the RFC. Thank you. TahaKahi (talk) 23:17, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- TahaKahi, thanks for the note. Misread and thought we were talking about mos:altname. Tried to address but there was an edit conflict and it was a mess so gave up. Feel free to delete the notes if you'd like. إيان (talk) 23:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
