Your edit to Yahya Sinwar

[edit]

Hello Mathmo. I have reverted your rollback at Yahya Sinwar, in which you unexplainedly brought back the label of "Palestinian terrorist" in the short description (from "Palestinian militant"). Terrorist designations by United States and European Union authorities should not automatically be added to articles in WP:Wikivoice since U.S. and the EU designations have their own POV. Per MOS:TERRORIST, descriptors such as "terrorist" are "best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject[.]" For the article to refer to him as a terrorist, a sort of consensus amongst reliable sources should first be established on the talk page. I also want to mention that your use of rollback in that edit does not fall under the accepted uses of rollback, and it's especially a good idea to use edit summaries at contentious topics articles. Thank you for understanding. Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
