[edit]

User @Mut.Greg: has recently altered the article in a way which seems to violate NPOV, changing "Rwandan genocide" to the redlinked "genocide against the Tutsi", changing the genocide numbers to unsourced, higher ones, removing criticism of Kagame from the article, and describing researchers critical of Kagame as "Propaganda scholars". They also keep restoring these changes. As my interactions with them approach an edit war, I instead ask other editors for their opinion - specifically, @Amakuru: who is responsible for writing most of the article.

@Applodion: thanks for noting this, and I have also reverted the above mentioned edits. These clearly did not conform to the sourcing, either on the common name for the genocide or on the other text. And the image should remain the portrait one like other articles, at least until there's a consensus otherwise. The same editor rotated this image by 180 degrees on Commons, disruptively turning it upside down, so I suspect some action should be taken to stop them disrupting the project further.  — Amakuru (talk) 00:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The United Nations officially adopted the term '"Genocide Against the Tutsi" in 2018 through Resolution A/RES/72/550, passed by the UN General Assembly. This resolution declared April 7 as the International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

It has been officially adopted as "the 1994 genocide against the Tusti in Rwanda" in 2-18 by the UN. The Tusti population were the main targeted group as well as anyother person who suppoprted or hiddened them was killed without mercy.

This was discussed at the recent move request for the Rwandan genocide article. The sourcing evidence presented shows that the name "Rwandan genocide" is much more used in independent reliable sources than "Genocide against the Tutsi". WP:NPOV and the WP:COMMONNAME article title policy require us to represent the prevailing balance from such sources, which might not necessarily be the same as the "official" names. (See WP:OFFICIALNAMES). So the UN using this name doesn't automatically mean that we should use it. Until there's a consensus to rename the Rwandan genocide article, we shouldn't change the nomenclature in this article either.  — Amakuru (talk) 11:36, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As i told you this is not about whats popular. On the issue of reliability it should be urgued to check on facts, many people hove been manipulating on the history of this tragic event, this include journalites, politicians and judges who have hidden evidences but have invested in creating narative of either downplaying or denying the facts of the genocide.

@Amakuru: Mut.Greg might be back in form of an anon, judging by a new wave of single-issue edits. Applodion (talk) 18:33, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it certainly looks like it. @ToBeFree: please could you take a look.  — Amakuru (talk) 19:58, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh.  Resolved, thanks for the notification! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:14, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Sources

[edit]

In the entire intro to this article there are no sources cited at all. I tried to flag that with the Unreferenced Section tag, but this was reverted without comment. Regardless, the lack of sources is a problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palehose5 (talkcontribs) 03:34, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar error

[edit]

Hutu refugee camps formed in Zaire and other countries and the RPF attacked the camps in 1996, but insurgents continued to attack Rwanda.

I don't have edit permissions but this is wrong. Kyars (talk) 13:45, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
