Hello - I've just reverted two edits you made to Cromwellian conquest of Ireland because they break two Wikipedia policies on verifiability and articles taking a neutral point of view. I'd recommend having a read if you are keen to contribute to Wikipedia since they set out the rules we all work within. Greycap (talk) 20:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Leadleader - in answer to your comment on my talk page about why I reverted your two edits on the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland:

Edit 1: you added "Cromwells campaign in Ireland was nothing short of genocide akin to that of the Great Famine in the 1840's." Edit 2: you edited it to "In particular, Cromwell's actions at Drogheda and Wexford can only be best described as genocide.".

These are assertions rather than evidenced arguments. Hence they do not conform to policy on verifiability. You will also see from the rest of the article that there is debate amongst historians about whether Cromwell's actions in Ireland constituted genocide. Hence this is an issue, under NPOV policy, where the different sides of the debate need to be described rather than putting a definitive assertion as you did.

It's not a question of "correction" - it's just that your edits weren't within Wikipedia guidelineI'm really not trying to push an agenda here, just ensure the articles are of high quality. Greycap (talk) 22:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
