Orphaned references in Persecution of Yazidis by Muslims

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Persecution of Yazidis by Muslims's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 00:40, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ISIL

The first couple of paragraphs needs an extra sentence explaining ISIL, but I don't know how to say it in formal language without it getting huge. The key points are that they have several other names, and they briefly had a self declared "state" that they tried to exterminate the Yazidi minority in, and they self-describe as Muslim but even Islamic extremists (e.g. Al Qaeda and the Taliban) are enemies of ISIL, and possibly that they also attacked Christians and Shia. The most important point is probably that even the other religious extremists are enemies of ISIL. Industrial Metal Brain (talk) 21:51, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
