I take requests for image and source reviews on historical topics at A-Class and Featured level. Please post all requests on this page.

November 2025

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Johan Tarčulovski when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 04:34, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The World After Gaza

On 12 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The World After Gaza, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the 2025 book The World After Gaza was deemed "repugnant" and "monstrous" for being both overly and insufficiently critical of Israel? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The World After Gaza. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The World After Gaza), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/History of the Jews in Dęblin and Irena during World War II

I have nominated this article, but I feel the blurb needs some copy-editing. It's a lot of information to cram into the character limit. I was not able to find a way to include it all, and include the post-war fate as well. Harizotoh9 (talk) 11:59, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sig style

Hello, buidhe. Would you consider changing the color of your username in your signature ? It looks indistiguishable to me from the dark red of a non-existent page link, although that is misleading, because you have a user page. Comparison:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 05:22, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mathglot You really can't win. I only changed to this color because someone complained that my previous sig with black was hard to see in dark mode :( (t · c) buidhe 05:40, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry! Well, if this one is less problematic than the other, then keep it. Mathglot (talk) 06:52, 18 November 2025 (UTC) Wait—there is a style you can apply so that those using dark mode get white letters (or whatever light color you want, but those using normal mode get the dark font. I'm not up on that, but if you can't figure it out, there are a bunch of people who can help. Or, just post at VPT and you'll get help for sure. Just say you want a sig that also works in dark mode, and mention your original preferred hex (or named) color. Mathglot (talk) 06:54, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As of this August comment, you were using black font in your signature. I think Jonesey95 knows about this sort of thing, and might be able to help you add a style to your sig so it works in dark mode as well with a white or near-white color. Mathglot (talk) 07:18, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like this: <span style="color: var(--color-base, black)">buidhe</span>. The "color-base" says "make it show as the normal text color in either light or dark mode", and the "black" is a backup option that says "if a browser doesn't do weird variables, just show black". – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:19, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully no one can complain about the new color :) (t · c) buidhe 05:42, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I like the latest colors! Mathglot (talk) 04:58, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thanks Mathglot! (t · c) buIdhe 05:57, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw your signature at ANI and came here to comment how much I love it, haha. Hope it sticks around! Also, the photography on your user page is beautiful stuff. While I'm here, congrats on the recent Nuremberg TFA, and hope you're well! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 18:06, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Nuremberg trials, introduced (in 2023): "Since the withdrawn FAC last year, I expanded the article with more information on the origins of crimes against humanity, the American, French, and British prosecution efforts, and the defense section. I incorporated new sources and also looked at Reaching Judgment at Nuremberg (1977), but I did not see anything worth adding from that book." -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:09, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could I ask your opinion on Talk:Gaza genocide#186,000 death toll estimate?

Denali non move contested

Your non move at talk:Denali gave absolutely no reason. Since you can't go by show of hands in the decision and the only sources given were heavily one-sided for Mt. McKinley (including two sets of Google ngrams, and along with numerous current websites), I need to have some good reasoning for this result. Saying don't move or things haven't changed is not valid without proof. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:38, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Snow close that you were on the wrong side of. At least try to lose with some dignity intact. Zaathras (talk) 14:03, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A snow close of "I don't like its." That says a lot of your own integrity. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:59, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how this could be closed any other way since other editors didn't agree with your evidence or reasoning. (t · c) buidhe 15:39, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There was pretty much no other evidence shown except mine. I used the the type of evidence we use at all these discussions, ngrams, sources across the world, etc. Everyone else was mostly "I don't want it to move." How is anyone ever going to get something to move if people simply don't want it to move regardless of sources? That's not the way wiki is supposed to work. It's not a show of hands and I showed up with sources to back the move. A closer is supposed to weight the strength of argument. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:59, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you at least give a reason on the Denali closing talk page? Show of hands, strength of argument, etc... That way if I have it checked by administration at least administrators and posterity will know your thoughts behind it. Right now it just says closed. Thanks.

El Alma al Aire source review request

Hello there, I have nominated El Alma al Aire for FAC, and was wondering if you could do a source review for the Spanish-language sources. I saw your username listed at foreign language reviewers. Erick (talk) 14:08, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 27 January 2026. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 2026, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/January 2026.

Could you look at the lead for the Myth of the clean Wermacht, please?

Hi Buidhe, I noticed something in the lead for the Myth of the clean Wehrmacht that I think is wrong, but thought best to ask you to look at, as you know so much in this area. It's this line: "...the verdict of the International Military Tribunal (1945–1946), which released many of the accused..." My understanding is that the only defendants who were acquitted were civilians (Fritzsche, Krupp, Ley (party official but not Wermacht), von Papen, and Schact), and all of the military accused were convicted, at least in the first and major trial. Were there other trials later that acquitted some of the military? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:26, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's right, the wehrmacht was too loosely organized to be an organization and this was misrepresented as an acquittal of criminality. I'll fix it later (t · c) buIdhe 02:53, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Knew you would have the answer. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:56, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done (t · c) buIdhe 16:08, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

looks good thanks. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:51, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shortening title of AB-Aktion

A belated thank you for doing this and bringing the title into compliance with ... oh, just about every other language Wikipedia. This made sense to me a long time ago when I began expanding the article with material from the Polish version, but per this old discussion I wasn't sure if there was a reason for the seemingly redundant title here that I was missing. Daniel Case (talk) 18:57, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Revert of DYK review

Care to explain why you reverted this, with the rationale "I don't think this a valid review ". It seemed perfectly valid to me. Assas CHEUNG (talk) 00:21, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Brand new editor doing a DYK review on their second edit? Questionable formatting and language somewhat indicative of AI use. Some misconceptions indicating unfamiliarity with wikipedia (official websites aren't usually good sources, for example). I still might not have reverted if it didn't say, "It has proper structure and French-language formatting." (t · c) buIdhe 00:34, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. User:2560Elona is a student of mine working on a school project. While it's true that there are some issues (the reference to French formatting may indeed be a bit telltale, but she's French after all), I'm not sure it warranted a hostile unexplained revert and a "I don't think this a valid review" type edit summary, but instead a friendlier comment on her talk page would have been more appropriate, no?
