Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Trench warfare, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 12:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

 * You supplied references that didn't mention Ukraine because they were older than the Russia–Ukraine war. Everything you wrote about the recent fighting is a violation of WP:No original research. The encyclopedia is not a publishing platform for your thoughts. Binksternet (talk) 14:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Using journalistic catch-phrases as credible sources to equate World War 1 and the situation in Ukraine does not just lack simple logical reasoning, it is mildly said unreasonable and a misguided approach. Equivalency between significant historical events requires thorough research and analysis from reputable sources, such as historians, experts, and scholars like my self, who carefully examine primary documents and various perspectives. Drawing parallels between complex events demands a comprehensive understanding of historical contexts, underlying causes, political motivations, and the actions of involved parties. Relying solely on jounalistic catch-phrases without substantial evidence and critical thinking would be considered an extremely innaproptiate method of historical comparison. To gain a well-informed perspective, it is crucial that we consult reliable academic studies, primary sources, expert analyses, and balanced reporting from trustworthy news outlets while critically evaluating the information. This is in no way an attempt to publish my own thoughts, it is simply being professional and respectful towards not just the historical events but the people who participated in them. I would suggest either making a field regarding this matter, or removing uncredible statements and comparisons. This is an extremely important matter sir, and i apologize for any previous unprofessionalism on my side. 94.145.12.96 (talk) 22:38, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You have two options: search for like-minded authors who have published their thoughts, or write up your own analysis in a reliable publication. Either way, the published material must be the basis for any comparison between trench warfare and the current fighting in Ukraine. Binksternet (talk) 23:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
