As noted on the IP's talk page, I have tried to explain to them that the addition of controversial material needs to be sourced; they are claiming it is censorship to remove information which is not. I cannot revert them again per WP:3RR, so just noting this here. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 08:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It appears the article's edits have been the subject of continual vandalism. The linked events are not war crimes, and the (low quality) source do not indicate that they are.

I suggest that the user making the edits review the information contained within the page which describes what constitutes a war crime.

This means: a civilian massacre is not a war crime, a famine is not a war crime, a flu is not a war crime, etc.

I suggest requesting protected-edit status or escalating this to further arbitration if the user is going to continue making disruptive, unsourced edits. Lostsandwich (talk) 09:21, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

readd this. It is clearly a war crime.

Chemical experiments on Indian troops

British military scientists sent hundreds of Indian soldiers into gas chambers and exposed them to mustard gas, documents uncovered by The Guardian have revealed.^[1] 103.39.128.89 (talk) 10:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The act was not committed during war and was not committed against an enemy or civilian population. It is not a war crime. Lostsandwich (talk) 10:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You have linked to the Geneva Conventions many times now; you have apparently not read the preamble, which clearly states "Convention for the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:12, 15 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why are we so high and mighty, have you all forgotten about the bombing of Dresden which was purposefully aimed at a civilian population?!!! 78.146.3.138 (talk) 23:34, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dresden wasn’t a war crime, it was a strategic bombing target. At the time of the bombings Dresden had a high concentration of soldiers in the area as well as one of the last functioning rail lines leading to the eastern front. Therefore meaning it was a valuable area for the RAF to attack. Another important thing to note is that the estimated death toll was only about 3,000 to 3,500, you frequently hear of this massive death toll however that has been disproven because the death toll was inflated by Goebbles to make the British seem like horrible savages that would bomb a civilian target. 2600:6C5D:5100:AB2:34BF:4F3:7FFA:EED1 (talk) 08:06, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
