I see what your are getting at here, but have you considered the word genocide. I tend to avoid it myself, but I'm interested to hear other views on this.Hope you enjoy editing here. Cheers, Cygnis insignis 18:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

- I retracted that remark, what is the problem? But since you ask, the term was at one time equated with racial cleansing (to use that stupid euphemism), rather than ethnic. Race is a deprecated view, per the same organisation you mentioned. Yes, the bastards killed every family they could find! What we believe is not relevant, add a citation or someone will remove it - again. Cygnis insignis 09:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

- At the risk of getting blocked for pointing this out, 'inline citations' are necessary in this case because a beligerent and disruptive editor removed your line altogether, probably in retaliation for something I or someone else did. This link is known as a 'diff', it shows the difference between edits that occurred today. Click it and you will see it was removed on the right side. These are in the history of an article.
- I have no doubt that several of the references in the article mention this well known fact. To add a ref to an article you can add a template like this one:
- {{cite journal |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |year= |month= |title= |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |id= |url= |accessdate= |quote= }}
- and put it between 'ref tags' like these:
- <ref> blah blah </ref>
- OR add it and say where you got the fact on the Talk page, someone else can add it later.
- There are a few other wrinkles in this, it becomes second nature after a while. I don't think they are necessary half the time, but censorious editors like the above will take the opportunity to remove any sentence that is not referenced in this way.
- Another tip: when we add to a talk page we sign using 4 tildes: ~~~~ which automatically adds your user name and a date.
