Should the Dungan Revolt 1862-1877 be added?

the war saw a decline of an ethnic group in China. The population declined by 21 million from war related deaths and famine and displacement. TaipingRebellion1850 (talk) 17:50, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

It can be added if there is good scholarship calling it a genocide. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 17:35, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that is very telling! Bondegezou (talk) 12:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. My feeling, especially after the change by @Cdjp1 to the definition of "genocide" used in this article, is that this list should be changed to a table with 1-line summaries of the genocides in the Genocides in history articles, so that the list can easily be sorted and searched. When there is an unsettled accusation of genocide (as there is for some ongoing or recent events) or a dispute in scholarship, or if some common definitions of genocide are met but not others, we can add a column or two to indicate that status. AndyBloch (talk) 21:35, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Long term, I hope to be able to unify the List of genocides, Genocides in history, and Genocide navbox, but this is a large undertaking, and as I have mentioned previously on this page, I do have a lot of IRL priorities so the unification effort is low on my to do list.
As a rough guide to steps, as I would follow,:
  1. Any of the genocides listed in List of genocides should be added to Genocides in history
  2. any citations for items in List of genocides should be added to the their relevant items in Genocides in history
  3. items in Genocides in history should be checked over for any instances of citation needed and corrected (checking ideally through the journals Journal of Genocide Research, Genocide Studies and Prevention, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and Genocide Studies International)
  4. Once these have been completed I would move to adding entries into List of genocides for any items present in Genocides in history that are not already present in List of genocides.

I request that all the South American Native tribes of South America and the Tribes of that came from Africa be included into the list of genocides. Everyone knows that the South American Native Tribes were wiped out by the Spaniards when Christopher Columbus came to occupy the land and kill the adults and Enslave the adolescents and children. We all know that when they ran out of Southern Native American people, they started aiming for the Africans, wiping out whole villages and tribes of people we will never hear about again. Killing them to grab their children, exposing them to disease or a voyage that they would never make to the new world with the conditions they had to endure. To say that the holocaust was the worst genocide in the world is to spread lies, when the genocide that happened during the slave trade to those who were enslaved in order to build North America and South America happened on a much larger scale than the holocaust. We are talking about billions of people who died and their deaths are being ignored and washed over just because their culture is darker skinned.

some sources have called it a genocide, with focus on the nanking massacre and soon ching

The “three Alls” policy could also be used to argue that there was an established intent, especially with what happened on the ground The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 04:59, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
@The Great Mule of Eupatoria:, I'm working to unify the lists as per "Comparison between some lists on wikipedia". For actions in Japanese invasion of China, there are multiple specific aspects/instances which have scholarship describing them as genocide/genocidal, besides the Three Alls policy you identified, there is also the Nanjing Massacre.

Also, genocide may occur in the aftermath of warfare when mass killings continue after the outcome of a battle or a war has been decided. For instance, after the Chinese city of Nanking was occupied by the Japanese in December 1937, Japanese soldiers massacred over 250,000 residents of the city.

Section for the Kalinago

Glancing through this list, I was a bit surprised there was no mention of the Kalinago or Carib peoples. The depopulation of the native peoples of the Caribbean was probably one of the most complete destructions of a peoples resulting from European colonialism. Is there any objection to their inclusion? NickCT (talk) 12:26, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I think Kalinago genocide would need a lot more academic sources that explicitly describe it using the term genocide. Right now there seem to be none in the article. — MarkH21talk 12:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Yeah. I really don't like that Kalinago genocide article. The subject of the article seems to be a massacre of Kalinago's on a single island. But the Kalinago were massacred on, and or displaced from, many different islands. I feel like the article covers the wrong topic, or only covers a small portion of what is a larger topic. NickCT (talk) 18:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
I would support adding this to the list. It clearly meets the definition of genocide and there are several academic sources to support it. For example, Lennox Honychurch supports the classification in this paper for the University of the West Indies, and historian Melanie J. Newton describes it as such in her article "The Race Leapt at Sauteurs: Genocide, Narrative, and Indigenous Exile from the Caribbean Archipelago". Additionally Doctor Andreas Buser, a legal scholar from the University of Berlin, says in a 2016 article for the Heidelberg Journal of International Law (here) that the killings of the Kalinago people could be considered genocide. More citations might be helpful (I think this might also be discussed in Chalk and Jonassohn's The History and Sociology of Genocide, but I can't at this moment lay my hand on the passage), but there does seem to me to be something of a consensus. TRCRF22 (talk) 18:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
TRCRF22 if you wouldn't mind adding information from the sources you mention here to the Kalinago article it would be brilliant. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 20:28, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
I've added Newton and Buser. Unfortunately I didn't realise that the article under discussion only dealt with one specific massacre rather than the wider persecution of the Carib peoples, which is what Honychurch's paper deals with, so that one doesn't fit into the article. TRCRF22 (talk) 15:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
I sorta feel like article's scope is wrong. The subject of the article should be the wider persecution. NickCT (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Change the "Proportion of group killed" part of the table to "Other victimization statistics" in order to encompass other type of genocide victimization in these events like displacement, rape, torture, injury, etcetera since it seems some of the boxes in that section seem to be doing that already despite the current name and could add other valuable information to the article.

List ordering: Reverse or regular chronology

On 14 August I changed the ordering of the table from reverse-chronological to a regular chronology saying reverse reverse chronology -- non-reverse chronology is more encyclopedic (diff). Indeed, it is my view that in general, but especially when historical content in an encyclopedia in concerned, and especially when there is a history-related list, which is effectively a timeline, the ordering needs be chronological, and that reverse-chronological ordering contrary to professional writing in these areas, that it is odd, and even potentially recentist.

This change persisted for 12 days when it was reverted by Vice regent (talk · contribs), with the edit summary of revert, the long standing version of this page has been in reverse chronological order, please seek consensus if you want to change that, will restore other edits (diff).

While I do not dispute that the reverse ordering is the inherited state of things, many errors, flaws and inadequacies are inherited in many articles, which is not a reason not to change from that state to a better state.

Now, Vice regent, kindly produce a substantive rationale for your edit, so that editors may understand how the reverse chronology is better after all.

Pinging one additional editor who has edited the article throughout this period and who certainly must be aware of the change, and might have an opinion on the matter. @Cdjp1: Thanks for sharing your thoughts on whether the ordering should be chronological or reverse-chronological.—Alalch E. 09:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I have no strong opinion either way. With that being said, the chronological order would be in line with similar lists on wikipedia, as well as in encyclopedias generally. This, in addition with the constant addition/removal of the most recent genocide to occur no longer being front and centre for readers coming to the article, causes me to lean more on the chronological order side. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 17:15, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
@Alalch E., @Cdjp1. I prefer reverse chronological order, but I can see the case for non-reverse chronological. The reason is that we have the option of either starting "today" (and going backwards) or starting at 1209. 1209 feels a bit arbitrary, while starting today feels more meaningful. Recent genocides (Rohingya genocide, Yazidi genocide etc) are also likely of greater interest to readers than Albigensian Crusade. Some lists do put latest/current events at the top, like List of non-international armed conflicts, List of accidents and incidents involving transport or storage of ammunition. But many other lists are in regular chronological order.VR (Please ping on reply) 23:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Agreed that reverse chronological order makes more sense here. As noted, contemporary and recentish events are much more likely to be of interest to our readers. Especially for users on mobile devices, we shouldn't present a loooong list of historical events to scroll through before getting to what they are likely looking for. (And yes, I know that the default sort can be adjusted, but why present this problem to readers who might not know how to adjust sorting.) CAVincent (talk) 05:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
That's a thoroughly unencyclopedic approach. "Serve the reader the most recent genocide" is fine for some web portal, but it's not fine in an encyclopedia. This is a long list of historical events, and it should be understood as a long series of historical events. That is one of the educational purposes of this page.
The ordering should be consistent with Genocides in history (and its subarticles: Genocides in history (before World War I), Genocides in history (World War I through World War II), Genocides in history (1946 to 1999), and Genocides in history (21st century)). This list is just a condensed timeline for that content. It a "Table-format timeline of genocides in history". Genocides in history article does not start its Historical genocides section with Genocides after 2000, it starts it off with Genocides before World War I, and Genocides in history (before World War I) (effectively also a list of genocides, just not in table format) starts with the Neanderthal genocide. —Alalch E. 11:29, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Those are prose articles, not lists. Prose articles are never reverse chronological. But lists can not just be reverse chronological, but also sorted based on other criteria: like death toll (List of wars by death toll), alphabetical (List of battles (alphabetical)) or cost (List of disasters by cost). While I prefer reverse chronological, I think chronological would also work, so lets wait to see what others say.VR (Please ping on reply) 00:44, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Please see:

The list of genocides does not require "frequent daily additions". Genocides are happening, but they are not happening anything near daily.—Alalch E. 00:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Responding from the notification: I can see the value of placing more recent entries first, as being more likely of interest to readers. Would some sort of grouping work as an alternative (eg by century)? --Hipal (talk) 01:02, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

If the more recent events are of interest to readers, they have the articles about the more recent genocides. This list is a comprehensive overview of genocides and it should communicate comprehensively which events in history have been classified as genocide by significant scholarship. "Genocides happening throughout history, since at least the Middle Ages: read a little bit about each one" is the educational value of this page, not serving information about recent events. —Alalch E. 01:08, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I think having it in regular chronological order, with section headers for each century, makes most sense. That's our normal order, as noticed above, and the section headers would allow quick access to the period people are interested in. Gawaon (talk) 06:31, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I think that's a good solution. My main request would be that section headers be the highest level header, because on mobile only those headers are collapsible. I'd propose: Pre-19th century, 19th century, 20th century and 21st century.VR (Please ping on reply) 17:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I agree with that. Certainly highest-level. In the current list there are only three pre-19th cent. genocides. So maybe "Before World War I", "World War I through World War II", "1946 to 1999", "21st century" in terms of where to split the table. —Alalch E. 22:15, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm all for actions that align grouping across our articles covering the topic of genocides, see the "Genocides in history" articles, and the updated Genocide navbox. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 18:51, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Inclusion of "Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contradiction"

This topic is also regarded as genocide and ethnic cleansing. Should be included in this list too. Crxyzen (talk) 00:06, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

  Not done Please provide reliable sources that support inclusion—blindlynx 13:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

The article doesn't offer evidence that the events are commonly classified as genocide. — kashmīrī TALK 11:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

"Incorporating a global-comparative perspective on the genocide of the last half-millenium has enabled important advances in the understanding of events central to the genocide studies field – such as the process of Ottoman imperial dissolution, reciprocal genocidal killing (during the "Unweaving" in the Balkans)...The human toll of this "Great Unweaving," from Greece's independence war in the early nineteenth century to the final Balkan wars of 1912–1913, was enormous. Hundreds of thousands of Ottoman Muslims were massacred in the secessionist drive.." DevletGiray (talk) 13:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
2-) Tatum, Dale C. (2010). Genocide at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century: Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Darfur. Palgrave Macmillan. p. 113. ISBN 978-0-230-62189-3. In October 1912, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Greece launched an attack to dismember the decaying Ottoman Empire. This war was notable for its brutality. Acts of genocide and mayhem were committed during the war. Civilians were massacred and people's lips and noses were severed. Thus, the relationship between Serbs and Kosovar Albanians began to spiral downward. From this battle, the Serbs gained control of Kosovo, their 'mythic land' of origin.

One of the unexpected experiences of the Balkan Wars 1912-1913 was that the members of the Balkan League committed genocides and other kinds of mass violence against other Nationalities and the Muslim population of the peninsula. Among other things the Albanian state-building project of the Great Powers aimed to prevent further genocide and other acts of violence against the Albanian population and other refugees from Macedonia and to put an end to the anarchy of the country.
