Change war change
Aside from the change war, which all parties were at fault for, I am somewhat concerned by the use of the word wood. Although potentially more accurate (describing a smaller area with trees), this could refer to the material wood and therfore be confusing for a reader on our wiki. Why not use the word forest? The way I see it, this is another case of film vs movie. Thoughts? --Yottie =talk= 22:04, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Yottie: It is not true that "all parties are at fault for change war" - reverting a WMF-banned editor is not change warring and is exempt from the three-revert rule. As for whether or not wood or forest is better, I would prefer forest in this context, but other opinions are welcome. Naleksuh (talk) 22:11, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- I second this. He is globally banned, using a proxy to disrupt the page. IWI (chat) 22:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- (ec) Forest is fine with me too; a limited English speaker may not know all the uses of the word "wood". (Revert anything that Foundation-banned editor does, please.) Antandrus (talk) 22:14, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- I agree, is there consensus to change wood to forest? IWI (chat) 22:17, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
My bad for not knowing about the global ban, I am sorry - I take back the above comment. It still does not change the fact merely reverting the content without consideration for the article itself (in this case, its simplicity) is questionable. I'll go with WP:BOLD and change it. --Yottie =talk= 22:46, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, perfect. :) Antandrus (talk) 00:34, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
The numbers game... change
Hello, I was reverted before, so I am posting it here:
- In the Katyn massacre, between 4.000 and 5.000 poeple (mostly Polish officers) were killed,between May 3 and May 11, 1940
- Lavrentiy Beria proposed to kill all Polish officers and intelligentia; this resulted in the 20.000-25.000 dead (mentioned in the article).
- In total, about 100.000 people were killed by the NKVD, this should be described in NKVD prisoner massacres.
So please correct te numbers.--Eptalon (talk) 21:35, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Correction needed 'about and nearly' change
it says about 22000 victims, that could also mean 22449 victims; there were nearly 22000 victims. 65.25.216.210 (talk) 08:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
