Caution to prevent an edit war
Hello! I saw your edits on the Okhtyrka vacuum bomb attack and I wanted to ask that you open a discussion on the talk page to let other editors give their input on the matter. It appears, there might be a source discrepancy, with multiple sources saying it is prohibited and your source, from HRW, saying it is not prohibited. This is something the community should have their input on. Just a warning that we cannot pass the 3 revert rule policy, so I encourage you to open a talk page discussion. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Elijahandskip (talk) 01:34, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

The only source that is being posted they are saying it is illegal are two news articles with the same quote from the same person, "Ms Markarova told reporters: “They used the vacuum bomb today, which is actually prohibited by the Geneva convention." The sources that I posted are two different sources stating they are not illegal stating they are not illegal under international law which the Geneva conventions fall under. (talk)


 * You can start the discussion on this page by clicking the "New section" button at the top. I see what you mean though.  I think including both statements, like the article currently has, is the best case since Ms Markarova is Ukraine's ambassador, and HRW is an organization, both classified as trustworthy RS.  This is a similar situation to the battle articles with Ukraine saying one thing and Russia saying a different thing for casualties. This is the Ukrainian government saying one thing vs HRW, a non-governmental organization saying a different thing. Elijahandskip (talk) 01:46, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
