04:4504:45, 15 May 2024 diff hist −30‎ Template:Celtic Christianity ‎ Does not belong. It's a small fringe church formed in the 19th century and is defunct. It's likely getting clicks from readers expecting to learm about actual ancient Christianity in Britain. I believe that "Christianity in Roman Britain" is the closest to that probably. At any rate certainly doesn't go at the top.

14:4214:42, 11 May 2024 diff hist +61‎ John Keegan ‎ →‎Published work: The words mean just what they say, so it's not an idiom, It's oversimplification to say the Keegan rejects Clauswitz's thoughts generally rather than particular ones such as the one expressed by the quote. Also, translation is poor, "policy" by itself is not an action while "war" is, thus the passage is not parallel. Both terms are used in translation. Why translators oft leave the "bloße" (in context, "simply/just/merely") out of the quote I don't know, but why should we. current

There are already a good number of refs for such a short article. If the tag is a stand-in for "I wish/hope that these things didn't happen and/or were justified and/or the Israelies did similar stuff, would someone find refs for all that", thats not ok. Not accusing, but cmon you know how it is with stuff current
01:0101:01, 3 May 2024 diff hist −18‎ Yom Kippur War atrocities ‎ 1) For Egypt, changed "Atrocities" to "War crimes". I'm not an apologist for anyone, but I'd think that "atrocity" would have to include egregious mistreatment like torture. Shooting prisoners is a war crime but not atrocius per se. Disconnecting someones oxygen is murder, but not atrocious IMO. There's one instance of beating someone to death, which is atrocious I guess, but it's a single instance, so "atrocities" plural doesn't fit. 2) no need to split syrian section
