Criticism section

There is notable criticism of Amnesty International and criticism of Human Rights Watch. If there wasn't any notable criticism, they wouldn't be doing their jobs properly. Both are well-respected sources of encyclopedic knowledge on human rights violations.

For the record, here is the edit that removed the entire criticism section of this article. I reverted that edit.

Discussion of the notability or sourcing of the two current items of criticism can go in this section of the talk page. Boud (talk) 20:10, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to Lemkin

@Vegan416: None of the articles Einstein Institute of Mathematics, Albert Einstein Institution or Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) seem to have any claims of affiliation between the institutions and Albert Einstein, his estate or his family. Presumably nobody considered the use of Einstein's name to be controversial.

Maybe there is a controversy in the case of Lemkin (we do have a sentence on that in the Criticism section), but that should best first go in the body of the article to let people reach consensus, with sources about the controversy. Your recent edit was reverted because it was sourceless; and even if sourced, it would seem excessive for the WP:LEAD, which should mostly just summarise the article. Probably a new paragraphs added to the background section, which is currently rather weakly sourced, would make sense. Boud (talk) 22:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lemkin family reacted: [1] As reported by The Algemeiner, they deny any knowledge of the Institute's existence until contacted by the journalists, they want the organization to drop the name of their relative, and are considering further steps in order to get them to do so.

Also, it looks like Massimino quit this organization, as this is what she said to The Algemeiner. Grandmaster 11:04, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artsakh vs Nagorno-Karabakh

This edit switched from Republic of Artsakh to Nagorno-Karabakh. We would need some attention to precedent from people editing on that general conflict about what the most NPOV way to handle this is. This relates to the general Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Any pointers to previous discussions would help. Boud (talk) 02:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:COMMONNAME, the common name for the region is Nagorno-Karabakh. So I believe this is the term that we should use throughout the article to refer to the region. There is no consistency in this article, sometimes it mentions Nagorno-Karabakh, and other times Artsakh. Regarding the now defunct unrecognized republic, it had a dual name of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic/Artsakh Republic, both of which were official, but I think the title of the section needs to refer to the region, and not the republic, as the conflict is called Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and most reliable sources use the term Nagorno-Karabakh when discussing it. Per the same rule, Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's official name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria listed above.
