They helped out at Cobargo, Quaama, and Bermagui too. 1.144.108.67 (talk) 15:25, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just did a brief bullet point on it. This subsequent update source would also be helpful for elaboration

Does this organization receive regular funding form the the US government?

I've reviewed its website and it doesn't clearly say where funding comes from. Does this NGO receive government funds and if so what percent of its projects involve them? Its plan to spend 1 billion dollars on food support for crisis over the next ten years is a large number, yet the website says little about where this will come from. More detail on its funding is important for this article. In addition, it would be good to know how its supporting kitchens work with the organization. Is it all done for free or are people getting paid for their services. Finally, is there any profit and if so in what form? Is it a business or an NGO? How are its staff paid? 2405:9800:BA00:4199:9573:2503:B7B2:AD6F (talk) 23:53, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split the Gaza strike incident into a separate article

The Gaza strike article is now being elaborated with information not central about the aid organisation. I think it should be split at the current rate of expansion. User:The Great Mule of Eupatoria maybe you seem keen to start? Y. Dongchen (talk) 08:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concede that I didn't properly think about it. It could be moved to some timeline article about certain kinds of casualties during this war, but a separate article wouldn't make sense. Y. Dongchen (talk) 09:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, especially with the increasing reports and notability. Definitely better to be split The Great Mule of Eupatoria (talk) 10:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It has already been split: World Central Kitchen airstrike. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The new article needs some copy-editing. But otherwise it seems amply sourced. NPOV could be improved somewhat. And maybe it should be renamed to "Airstrike on World Central Kitchen (2024)". In any case I'll create a discussion on the talkpage there.

PS I meant "this article" as opposed to "the Gaza strike article" in my original comment. Y. Dongchen (talk) 10:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prospective inclusion of images from WCK ostensibly CC BY compatible

I have made an inquiry to WCK for a clarification on the CC BY notice on their "media kit" page https://wck.org/resources/media-kit. The email press@wck.org seems to be defunct following no response my similar request on this two weeks ago. I am awaiting a response from a message sent to hello@wck.org. Y.

Thanks for taking the initiative. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EPER edit request: modify lead about the casualties

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Editing request due to passage being within the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area

What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):

Why it should be changed:
- The second verbal phrase "were killed" is redundant, incongruent with the description of the Kharkiv incident and interrupts the flow
- Puts less emphasis on the broader wars in which they happened, instead focussing on the specific engagements
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): unchanged

Partly done: I have removed "were killed" as I concur that it is an incongruent verbal phrase. I have declined to remove the link to Russian invasion of Ukraine as I feel it is beneficial for the reader to easily click the link to read our article on the responsible conflict. —Sirdog (talk) 07:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I changed this to ongoing humanitarian crisis since Gaza is already mentioned later in the sentence and in the section header just above it.

Also, please post your requests in separate sections (you can use the add topic button at the top). These were both added to an existing section from a few weeks ago. Jamedeus (talk) 05:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
