Wiki Education assignment: Disrupting the Status Quo- Social Justice in Technical and Professional Com[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 18 January 2022 and 2 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Brookecur (article contribs).

Why is there no individual page for the genocide of the Native Americans?[edit]

It would seem like that would be one of the most significant historical pages on Wikipedia, however, there is no page for it at all. There are pages related to it but not one for it itself. MountainDew20 (talk) 09:49, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page was once much more in depth on that topic, I believe, and I returned here after a conversation at school, and found it had been edited to be much more dominated by the Irish plight, which also deserves attention, but to have it sit at the top of the page and be given more attention than the Native American genocide that was both vaster in scale and with far more profound long term effects (see current Irish economy and autonomy vs. Native American). This leads me to believe that a biased irish American influence has taken over this page. 2603:8000:D600:2E1C:C0FB:7A62:58C4:3311 (talk) 03:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it would be more principled to organize the area/region sections alphabetically, this would no longer put europe at the top Phantomette (chat) 16:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"For this assignment, students will be making contributions to Wikipedia specifically designed to correct the well-documented gender, heterosexual, white, and Western bias in this extremely influential resource."

I've never seen Wikipedia associated assignments. Does the selection of this article mean that you believe the article exhibits are the aforementioned biases ? Phantomette (chat) 17:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crimes against humanity category removal[edit]

Crimes against humanity is a specific legal concept. In order to be included in the category, the event (s) must have been prosecuted as a crime against humanity, or at a bare minimum be described as such by most reliable sources. Most of the articles that were formerly in this category did not mention crimes against humanity at all, and the inclusion of the category was purely original research.

Nellie massacre[edit]

The Nellie massacre is a reverse example and does not belong here. The victims, in this case, were migrants and the perpetrators were indigenous. Chaipau (talk) 15:44, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
