For the section “Recognition as a genocide”, there is a New York subsection which purports that the NY Senate recognized the Sikh Genocide but the source actually says that they recognize it as a massacre. They mention the word “genocide” once in the resolution claiming that other organizations and governments have recognized the event as a genocide, but they themselves label it as a massacre. Accordingly, this section should be removed.VonduB (talk) 22:52, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done The source does indeed acknowledge the Senate’s recognition of the violence as genocide. EarthDude (wanna talk?) 04:00, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It literally doesn’t though. It recognizes it as a massacre. Can you provide a quote from the source which substantiates your claim? VonduB (talk) 11:58, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is what the source says;

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body honors the strength,

resilience, and contributions of the Sikh community in New York State,

acknowledging their vital role in the cultural and economic life of the

State; and be it further

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body recognizes the contributions of

the Sikh community and commemorates the Sikh massacre of 1984 through

official recognition and remembrance. VonduB (talk) 12:05, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@VonduB The same source also states:

WHEREAS, This targeted and systematic violence has been recognized

by some human rights organizations, historians, and governments around

the world as a genocide against the Sikh people, as it sought to destroy

a religious and ethnic community through mass killings, forced

displacement, and destruction of Sikh institutions; and

Impact and legacy: On 6 November 2024, the 40th anniversary of the genocidal massacres, the 1984 Sikh Archive, an evidence-based free resource was launched at the Wiener Holocaust Library in London, developed to preserve victim's testimonies, images and videos, for the benefit of future students and scholars.

This is not requesting anything. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 09:25, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please add to 'Impact and legacy' section.

Okay, what should I do in the future if I come across something similar? Voicedvelarfricative11 (talk) 19:52, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Usually: give a clear edit request (in the form of “change x to y”) if you have one.

In this case, I have  Done what I think is the right implementation of your request. Is this what you meant? (Look at the last edit on the page)

I initially misunderstood your request and thought it was a complaint, which is not what requests are for.

Happy editing.
