Turkish aid

[edit]

Why was this removed? VR talk 04:25, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vice regent- I can't really see too much of a problem. That also seems to be the IP address' only edit so far, without ever offering a proper explanation, so I think it should be returned, but preferably in a section about humanitarian aid in general.

@Dunutubble: thanks, I have restored it.VR talk 05:27, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why is Turkish aid especially notable? The text merely supports that some airdrops probably came from Turkey and some refugees escaped there. The first source used is VERY POOR and has an explicit disclaimer about its verifiability. Later sources are not great either. A section devoted to foreign aid might make more sense and context as suggested by Dunutubble.Pincrete (talk) 08:58, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I misread Dunutubble. I'll change the heading to "Humanitarian aid". And, if its with you, I'd also like to change the heading of "Western military intervention" to just "Military intervention". There were plenty of Middle Easterners who were involved in the fight against ISIS (including Turkey, Jordan, Kurdish forces, Morocco).VR talk 19:59, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the Update 2017 banner

[edit]

Starting a discussion if more information needs to be added before removing the banner. I have been updating the article and think the issue related to the banner has been adequately addressed per WP:WTRMT. Besides, there has not been a discussion initiated on the article’s talkpage when this date=May 2017 was added. I will check with the editor who added the banner too.Petra0922 (talk) 00:42, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Crucifixion of some Yazidis

[edit]

In an effort to be more properly encyclopedic, shouldn't we mention that some Yazidis were crucified during the Yazidi genocide? 98.123.38.212 (talk) 00:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source for that claim?. Pincrete (talk) 04:30, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change of death count

[edit]

I think we should say "5,000 dead by August 2014". Quoting from the page:

"According to the United Nations, IS had massacred 5,000 Yazidi men and kidnapped about 7000 Yazidi women and girls (who were forced into sex slavery) in northern Iraq in August 2014."

Of course, the genocide only ended in 2017. So shoudl the death count be changed with respect to that? Genabab (talk) 14:37, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
