edit request: Definition and Concept

[edit]

I don't think that Lorenzo Veracini argues the opposite, as he still considers genocide and settler colonialism to be inherently linked. Perhaps it could be considered an inversion? Anyways I think that it should be slightly reworded. The frog in question (talk) 18:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Please make your request in the format "change X to y", and then ping me. I'll see what I can do. Thanks! Lewisguile (talk) 10:03, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence: "However, this viewpoint faces substantial criticism from scholars and is largely rejected by many Jews due to its perceived denial of the historical Jewish connection to Palestine, among other reasons."

Should change...

To: "However, this viewpoint faces substantial criticism from scholars due to its perceived denial of the historical Jewish connection to Palestine, among other reasons."

Either the cited sources are reliable, or they are not. There is no condition under which the religion of the authors is of encyclopedic interest to this point.Johnadams11 (talk) 00:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done (sort of). There were some issues with that paragraph anyway, so I have tweaked the whole thing for neutrality. Lewisguile (talk) 13:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well done. Johnadams11 (talk) 14:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC) Johnadams11 (talk) 14:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait so was Arab expansion into North Africa and Iberia Settler colonialism?

Wait so was Arab expansion into North Africa/Maghreb and Iberia Settler colonialism? What happened to the Berbers and native Egyptians man? Alexysun (talk) 10:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

I propose to merge Settler state into this article. The section Settler colonialism#Definition and concept already contains a definition. The article about state is pretty short and mostly contains information that already exists in this article. The settler state is very tightly related to settler colonialism. Викидим (talk) 08:55, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support the other article incorrectly suggests that settler colonialism ends when settlers gain independence from the metropole. (t · c) buidhe 01:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support for the same reasons mentioned by Викидим. Vacosea (talk) 00:38, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as the concept is best covered here; there is no reason to have an effectively redundant separate article. Crossroads -talk- 22:43, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the other article is of low-quality and should be improved rather than merged. --Plumber (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A well-done merge would remove the low-quality text, so perhaps merge can be a welcome improvement? Викидим (talk) 02:25, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose two very different academic disciplines..... with each having its own experts.Moxy🍁 02:39, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an expert. Could you please elaborate on the particular disciplines? So far, the settler state seems to be an intermediate product of the settler colonialism (based on the text of the articles). Викидим (talk) 02:51, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You could argue that there is an academic discipline of settler colonialism—however, it is pretty interdisciplinary, and still relatively niche. There is simply no such thing for "settler state", and unless Moxy provides some evidence it's not the case, the comment should be disregarded. (t · c) buidhe 05:12, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This webpage distinguishes between the “regular” colonialism and the “settler” one. It does not, IMHO, make a distinction between settler colonies and settler states. Викидим (talk) 05:40, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The source doesn't say anything about any academic disciplines. (t · c) buidhe 06:17, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support as, to me, the Settler state appears to be a specific example, possibly contrived by certain academics, of Settler colonialism. Combining the articles reduces the potential for a WP:POVFORK. Wikipedia articles should present a balanced view of a subject, particularly where academics have differing opinions. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 20:36, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add a section on Mark Rifkin's settler common sense, beyond settler time, and settler temporality. Austenobeano (talk) 17:44, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 20:28, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
