Disambiguation link notification for April 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited McCann (surname), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Irish and Gaelic. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Death squads

Hello there Mabuska. How are you getting on?

I really think that information about the British Army from the state terrorism article also belongs in the death squad article. How can I persuade you to come around to this idea? I'm particularly interested in why you think it's suitable content for the first article, but not the second.--79.97.222.210 (talk) 09:48, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

The titles of the articles make it pretty obvious why. It doesn't belong to the Death Squad article. Only you really think it belongs there. You do not have any credible or academic sources that state that the British Army are a "Death Squad". The only mention of "Death Squad" in regards to the army is by one alleged former member of the MRF which on its own does not equate as academic or reliable enough for such an obvious WP:POV and WP:BIAS attempt to demonise the British Army on Wikipedia... something many of your edits quite clearly try to do.

The MRF are an example of state terrorism so deserve mention in that article, however terrorism itself does not equate to death squads. The government could pay me to blow up empty buildings and beat people up in an attempt to terrorise the populace but that doesn't make me a death squad. Even firing at and purposely injuring people does't constitute a death squad. What the IRA, INLA, UVF, UDA and rouge army, RUC and UDR members did however when they purposely went out and murdered someone such as the Glenanne Gang did does constitute a death squad and that article makes mention of them.

So, no, it does not belong in that article. Also thanks for taking it to talk this time. Mabuska ^(talk) 10:51, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
