Herero Wars[edit]

Stop removing information from the Herero Wars article. The other articles sited also include other events in their "See also" sections without including sources. See American Indian Wars and Australian frontier wars. DaRealPrinceZuko (talk) 22:12, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't information but links to random pages that somehow also contain atrocities against the indigenous population of some territory. If they are somehow connected, state a source that says so. If they are not, do not re-add. That other pages contain similar content is not a good reason to include them. In general, unreferenced content here is often allowed to stay unless someone complains about it. If that happens, either a source will be provided or the content will be removed.

Several German colonials, including Lothar von Trotha and Alexander Kuhn, compared their conflict with the Herero to the American Indian Wars. The former's comparisons are evidenced in his diary: "The natives must give way [weichen]--look at America."

Perfect! I have no objection if you make an entry in Herero Wars with this explanation and source. --Pgallert (talk) 06:41, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
