Operation Babylift
Hello, I see you have made a number of edits to this article suggesting that the Operation was malicious, while providing no evidence to support such a claim. Please do not make these kind of edits to Wikipedia articles; I also would like to suggest that you stop editing this article altogether until you better understand our policies and practices. You are a new editor, and you are going to get yourself in trouble if you continue to edit in this way. If you have questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact me on my own Talk page. I will respond to your message there, if you leave one for me. Thank you.

what exactly is not malicious about taking babies from a foreign nation which you are occupying, including ones that were not orphans? how is that not an act of malice? Cmn1917 (talk) 23:00, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * OK you've made it clear you're WP:NOTHERE. Next vandalism will lead to a block. Mztourist (talk) 03:34, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

I was told I would have it explained to me and it wasn't. what is not malicious about taking babies from a country you are occupying? do the people doing it need to be Russian for you to be able to understand? Cmn1917 (talk) 13:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * In order to include that kind of wording in a Wikipedia article, you would need to provide evidence of multiple published reliable sources that use those or very similar words. By adding them merely as you see fit, you are claiming to know certain facts that no one else can verify.  Wikipedia is also not meant to be used as a soapbox or a venue for expressing controversial ideas.  Even the articles on Dachau and the like do not begin with "2.7 million Jews were put to horrible excruciating deaths, many by choking on poison gas as their families watched helpless."  All of that may be true, but none of it belongs in a Wikipedia article because it is a personal emotional take on what actually happened.  Look, if you are going to insist on making edits like this to Wikipedia articles, you are just going to get yourself blocked.  You may hold passionate views about certain topics, but Wikipedia is not the place to vent them.  You are choosing instead not to listen, and then bam, you will be blocked for not listening.  If you need me to point out specific policy pages that discuss why you shouldn't make edits like the ones you did, you can start by visiting WP:SOAPBOX and take it from there.  Please let us know if you have further questions.  Thanks.  A loose necktie (talk) 17:39, 24 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, when you change wording to make a sentence read, "U.S. President Gerald Ford announced that the U.S. government would begin stealing orphans from Saigon ..." you are making a blatant personal interpretation. You can use whatever words the US government or President Ford actually used, but they certainly did not use the word "stealing" and so neither can you here (even if it is true!).  If these children were indeed somehow stolen, that should become evident in the course of the text.  You cannot claim it is true simply because you "feel" like it was stealing.  The way you phrased it, it sounds like President Ford literally said, "We are going to begin stealing babies from Vietnam-- who's with me?"  That is absurd, and never happened, and you are not allowed to imply that it did because that would be a lie.  A loose necktie (talk) 18:21, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
