Supporters of the new title argue that there is a broad consensus on the matter, citing academic articles by Holocaust historians, genocide scholars, human rights professors and legal and political experts.

Opponents cite: “Nuh-uh”

Calling people genocide deniers now with wiki links.

Someone who knows how to wiki should get this page changed: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide

Why? Because the original page is no longer "Uyghur Genocide". They changed it to "Persecution of Uyghurs in China" but this simple.wikipedia URL remained the same. Remove the "simple" from the URL and you'll see what I mean.

Wikipedia editors settled on the fact it was not a genocide and changed the name.

Should also really not be "part of a series on genocide" and should not have that section at the top saying shit about xinjiang genocide either.

Simple Wikipedia should be launched into orbit and never seen again, absolutely bullshit part of the site that seems to only exist to drive the propaganda harder.

Tbh I use it for stuff that's not politically contentious to get a tldr of things sometimes. You shouldn't be using wikipedia to learn about anything politically contentious anyway

i do it to see where my reactionary takes are, i may not know what is right but i can be pretty confident im wrong when i see it espoused a different way

Done. I've changed the title in line with the English Wikipedia. I know it's still BS but that's probably the best I can do and actually have it stick.

I haven't really changed the article as I'm not that familiar with Simple English's requirements (you're supposed to use only some of the most common words?) but y'all feel free. Unlike the English Wikipedia article this one isn't yet protected.

The bloomer in me can't help thinking Israel's days are numbered if not even NATOpedia's taking their side.

A big blow for Hasbara since most westerners inherit their worldview and whole ideology from barely skimmed Wikipedia articles they search up mid conversation.

All those years of propaganda down the drain when NATOpedia cleanses the minds.

Worth noting that Jimmy Wales, one of the founders of Wikipedia who is (to my knowledge) still involved is (was?) a pretty obvious proponent for Israel

Wales has visited Israel over ten times. He has said that he is "a strong supporter of Israel". In 2015, he was awarded one of the Dan David Prizes, an international award of $1 million given yearly at Tel Aviv University (10 percent of the prize goes to doctoral students). Wales was chosen for spearheading what the prize committee called the "information revolution."

Be interesting to see if this sticks

iirc he's a libertarian dweeb, so no shock there. ~~i wanna say ayn rand was the first complete page or something~~ i looked it up, it was the home page and then atlas shrugged lol

Wales doesn't have editorial control over Wikipedia as far as I know. Regardless of his ayn rant objectivist beliefs, he's a bit too removed from those levers of power to just force the edit back.
