The Powers That Be may have a desire to keep an eye out for the deletion of these two properly cited statements also.

Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. Michelle Obama spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and noted the "cages".  What she did not say is that the very same "cages" were built during and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose; that of holding migrant kids temporarily.

Immigration enforcement is not internment, and immigration facilities are not "internment/concentration" camps - POV issue

Opening the discussion here since this article contains factually incorrect information. According to the cited definition on the Internment article:

"Internment is the imprisonment of people, commonly in large groups, without charges or intent to file charges, and thus no trial. The term is especially used for the confinement "of enemy citizens in wartime or of terrorism suspects".

Immigration detention facilities are by definition NOT internment/concentration camps since the people being held in them are being charged with the crime of improper entry. Q.E.D. There has not been official designation by a governing body of merit such as the EU, UN, etc. nor are there peer-reviewed publications that explain why immigration detention facilities are designated as "concentration/internment" camps. There are content experts that have made the determination that these are not to be called internment/concentration camps, including the official stance of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (https://www.ushmm.org/information/press/press-releases/why-holocaust-analogies-are-dangerous).

If we want to include in these series of articles that there are politicians, members of the media, and academics that want to call them concentration camps, then we can do that, but we need to make sure that the readers are reminded they are objectively NOT concentration camps according to the facts. --2600:387:6:80D:0:0:0:9E (talk) 00:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I am proposing the following verbiage:

In May 2018, President Trump's administration instituted a "zero tolerance" policy mandating the criminal prosecution of all adults who were referred by immigration authorities for violating immigration laws. This policy directly led to the large-scale, forcible separation of children and parents illegally crossing the United States-Mexico border, including those claiming asylum after being detained. Parents were arrested and put into criminal detention, while their children were taken away, classified as unaccompanied alien minors, to be put into child immigrant detention centers. Though in June 2018 Trump signed an executive order ostensibly ending the family separation component of his administration's migrant detentions, it continued in limited fashion under alternative justifications into 2019. By the end of 2018 the number of children being held had swelled to a high of nearly 15,000, which by August 2019 had been reduced to less than 9,000. Though by definition immigration detention facilities are not considered internment/concentration camps, in 2019, a naming controversy arose. Various politicians, academics, and journalists made claims that these immigration detention facilities should be labeled as "concentration camps". Notable groups, such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, panned and rejected these analogies. Though the conditions of the facilities have been almost universally panned, including by a human rights chief in the UN, the UN has not designated these facilities as internment/concentration camps, and have reiterated that states do have the sovereign prerogative to decide on the conditions of entry and stay of foreign nationals.

Please make comments and supply edits. The sources are more or less the same, probably taking a few out (many just cite the same source anyway). We can add the sources before we post. --166.216.158.172 (talk) 05:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

That is what we at Misplaced Pages call original research. You take one definition and make your own interpretation of it. Sorry, but Misplaced Pages works by using reliable sources. // Liftarn (talk) 08:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

This is not original research, as everything posted is factual, and sourced (sources are already cited on the page). There's only one way to interpret the definition that is listed on the Internment page, and it is clear that these immigration facilities are not "concentration camps". You have not proposed any changes or edits, so, please at least try to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.195.119 (talkcontribs)
You are "interpret" content from another Misplaced Pages page in order to explain away the statements by content experts, which is substituting your own position for theirs. This is absolutely original research: This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources.. --Pinchme123 (talk) 18:13, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
You are "interpret" content from another Misplaced Pages page in order to explain away the statements by content experts, which is substituting your own position for theirs.
Wrong. I am reciting ("interpreting") facts in order to explain how immigration detention facilities are not "internment/concentration camps". We've already been over that the "content experts" you're attempting to use are not experts in the field. You're trying to use "original research" as a defense but it falls through here; it's like if I said "carbon is a non-metallic element", and I link the definition and Wiki page, and you claim this is "original research". The above block I suggested is based in fact and reality, and correctly describes the situation we're facing. Unless you have edits to propose, I will link the sources and replace.
--107.77.214.158 (talk) 22:55, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

These are concentration camps; this has already been decided by experts and affirmed by the Misplaced Pages editing community. Arguing otherwise without sources showing a change in the relevant experts is useless.

Assuming, for the sake of this conversation, that you intend to use the same sources for the sentences of the paragraph you've proposed that are identical to the collaboratively written entry already the article, you still have yet to provide sources for the remaining content you're trying to suggest changing to. Without sources, there is nothing here to respond to, other than to assume this is original research. Until you provide sources and allow for a discussion of them, any attempt to include unsourced content will likely be reverted. Please also remember, if your edits are reverted, they have been challenged and per existing sanctions you must find consensus here on the talk page before reinstating them. As of yet I see no editors here supporting your proposed changes. --Pinchme123 (talk) 03:56, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

These are concentration camps; this has already been decided by experts and affirmed by the Misplaced Pages editing community. Arguing otherwise without sources showing a change in the relevant experts is useless.
These are not concentration camps, by definition. This has not been decided on by experts, and the Misplaced Pages editing community is delusional if they believe so. Numerous other sources have made counter-claims, and the definition stands. Unless you can find a governmental body of merit that has classified these as concentration camps, or a peer reviewed article in a well renown journal of history or related subject, then this is simply a matter of opinion. And because this is a matter of opinion, there is a POV issue with that section.
Why don't we reframe this section as a naming controversy instead? This article badly needs a balanced approach; it's a disservice to Misplaced Pages and its readers to leave it the way it is.
--2600:387:6:80F:0:0:0:7A (talk) 07:57, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
Well, this is to me a complete impasse. If you have a problem with the Misplaced Pages community's decision to follow content experts, take that up in another way, such as by challenging the RfC close or starting a new RfC altogether. But the community has already decided, this entry is to be included here and so it will remain here, with neutral language describing the example.
If you cannot provide sources for your proposed language, then it is entirely inappropriate for inclusion. Without anyone other than you arguing for a POV issue, that tag now has no support for inclusion and the editors who have engaged you here apparently show consensus that it is inappropriate. I will be removing it per conditions #1 and #2.
--Pinchme123 (talk) 17:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
If you have a problem with the Misplaced Pages community's decision to follow content experts
The issue is they're not content experts, and you're claiming they are. That is a factually incorrect claim. A "senior lecturer of music" is not a content expert on concentration/internment camps.
But the community has already decided, this entry is to be included here and so it will remain here, with neutral language describing the example.
If the entry stays, I'm fine with it, as long as it has neutral language and actually describes the facts of the matter. It currently contains non-neutral language, and falsities. Once the lock is lifted, I will make edits to ensure the language is more neutral, and is centered around the facts.
--2600:387:6:80F:0:0:0:80 (talk) 07:36, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
Any inappropriate content changed/added without proper sourcing will be challenged. Expect to be required to find consensus for such content, should you be bold in making the edits and they are reverted for lack of source support. --Pinchme123 (talk) 03:03, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
The Misplaced Pages does not exist to carry water for a particular politician or party and their singular p.o.v. of what is and is not considered an internment camp. There is a wealth of historical sourcing and coverage that they are indeeed considered as such, so the Wiki should follow that. Zaathras (talk) 15:21, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
The Misplaced Pages does not exist to carry water for a particular politician or party and their singular p.o.v. of what is and is not considered an internment camp.
I'd hope that is the case, but sometimes it definitely doesn't seem like this is a true statement.
There is a wealth of historical sourcing and coverage that they are indeed considered as such, so the Wiki should follow that.
Except there's not. There are highly politicized pieces from those who are not experts in field. Similarly, there is a wealth of historical sourcing and coverage that says these are not "interment/concentration" camps. We need to make sure we have a NPOV here.

  • I would point out to the OP (as has been noted in previous discussions), this is not a List of concentration camps, but a List of concentration and internment camps; whether the phrase "concentration camp" is applicable is not dispositive of the issue. The inclusion of criminal charges is also of no particular relevance, since any government can decide to arbitrarily "charge" a class of people with a crime, ostensibly requiring their confinement (by comparison, the Nazi regime enacted numerous laws effectively making Jews "illegals" and thus legally subject to the treatment that was accorded to them).

These do not fit the definition of internment nor concentration camps, so, your point is moot.
The inclusion of criminal charges is also of no particular relevance,
It is absolutely relevant since the definition in the sister page is "the imprisonment of people, commonly in large groups, without charges or intent to file charges, and thus no trial."
since any government can decide to arbitrarily "charge" a class of people with a crime, ostensibly requiring their confinement
This is illogical reasoning. Using this "logic", we should include primary schools in this list since the government can decide to arbitrarily "charge" children with a crime, and ostensibly require their confinement. On top of all that, the US government is not charging a protected class of people, it's enforcing its immigration laws for those who voluntarily decide to commit a crime. For all these reasons and more, these are factually not interment/concentration camps.
--2600:387:6:80F:0:0:0:80 (talk) 07:36, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
There's a lot of discussion here about precise definitions and whether you personally believe those definitions fit, but ultimately the only thing we should be discussing is whether reliable sources describe these locations as concentration or internment camps. The last Request for Comment on the matter concluded that reliable sources did generally refer to these locations as such, so that's what Misplaced Pages uses. Our personal opinions on whether definitions fit or the logic is sound is irrelevant. Sam Walton (talk) 12:11, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
I think it's ...dangerous to use whether the people in a facility have been charged with a crime as the whole determination of whether something is a concentration camp or not. For reasons cited above, although in reverse, too. I don't think we should allow governments to decide whether their detention facilities are concentration camps or not based on whether they've charged the prisoners. It means that, if we say its only a concentration camp if the imprisoned have not been charged and there is no intent to try them, then the death camps of the Nazis would not be concentration camps, because they created laws that made being Jewish (or gay, or slavic, or so on and so on) illegal. If we say that it's only concentration camp if the imprisoned have been charged and there's an intent to try, then gross violations of human rights are somehow not concentration camps on that basis. I don't think that the... "legal status" of the imprisoned is a good basis for whether something is a concentration camp or not. I think the treatment of those people, and overall intent of the facility--namely the concentration of an "undesirable" category of people into one location where they can exterminated, either through formal execution or working them to death, or both, or simply allowing them to die due to gross indifference and negligence--should be the determining factor. Now, we can argue whether that is the intent of "immigrant detention facilities," and I would say it is, but I imagine OP would disagree, but my point here is that "whether the targeted people are formally charged with a crime or not" is not a rational criteria for whether something is a concentration camp or not (although it does provide the answer to the question that prompted me to come to the Talk page- why Tevego is a concentration camp, but earlier labor camps with lethal consequences practiced by America, England and Spain are not) --ValravenApocalypse (talk) 06:00, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

USHMM and Open Letter to the Director of the USHMM

As requested, I am posting the source to end the confusion. The "more than 400 Holocaust, genocide scholars" bit from Newsweek is objectively wrong, and is not the source material. The author of that opinion piece should fix the title of the article since it's editorialized, and factually incorrect.

If you go to the actual source, you can clearly see there are many who are decidedly not experts in the field of Holocaust/genocide history: https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/07/01/an-open-letter-to-the-director-of-the-holocaust-memorial-museum/

The list contains entries such as:

 Douglas G. Morris, Independent Scholar, Trial Attorney, Federal Defenders of New York, Inc.
 Imani Danielle Mosley, Assistant Professor of Music, Wichita State University
 Katherine Roseau, Assistant Professor of French, Mercer University
 etc.

Unless there is definitive proof that all 400+ of these scholars are Holocaust and genocide experts (including the attorneys listed as "independent scholars"), then the change I made will stay. 172.58.46.144 (talk) 02:31, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

IP, your reinstatement of challenged material is a violation of this page's WP:CRP discretionary sanction and I suggest you self-revert to rectify this.
As for your personal interpretation of the "actual source" material, this is WP:OR. As has been exhaustively discussed before, the included reliable sources, including the Newsweek article, describe the signatories of the open letter in question as Holocaust and genocide scholars and/or experts. If you wish to challenge this specific assertion, please provide a reliable sources - not your personal interpretation - to do so. Until such sources are provided, I urge you to self-revert to keep from being out of step with this page's discretionary sanctions.
--Pinchme123 (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
I don't understand what is challenged? The source material (not the Newsweek article that is clearly wrong, and Newsweek has been known to not have fact checking) does not make the claim that all of the scholars listed are Holocaust/genocide experts. Here are additional reliable sources that state "scholars", not "Holocaust and genocide experts/scholars": https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/451268-hundreds-of-scholars-urge-dc-holocaust-museum-to-stop-rejecting and https://www.businessinsider.com/scholars-call-on-holocaust-museum-in-concentration-camp-controversy-2019-7?op=1
It clearly states on the aforementioned sources, and the original source that "the scholars, many of whom have studied the Nazi genocide of Jews and other minorities..." Maybe English is not your first language, in which case it may not make sense. It's not WP:OR to correctly read and understand English as it's printed on the original source material. The usage of "many of whom" there means that a proportion, though not ALL, of the scholars have studied/are experts in the subject. It does not give a proportion, but it's immaterial since the use of "many of whom" is logically opposed to "all of whom".
So now that we've definitively proved that not all of the listed scholars are Holocaust/genocide experts, the edits should stay. Unless you have a source material that states ALL of the scholars are genocide/Holocaust experts, all you're doing is WP:OR by trying to prove a negative.
172.58.30.198 (talk) 16:34, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Again IP, your personal interpretation of source material is WP:OR. Newsweek is a reputable source that has appropriately reported the hundreds of scholars as Holocaust and genocide scholars. You'd also do better to not read the word "all" into what the sentence in question already states. A reasonable argument can be made that, as long as 200+ of the signatories are Holocaust or genocide scholars, the Newsweek interpretation is 100% factual.
Unless you can provide reputable sources that discount this interpretation by specifically asserting that enough of those who signed the letter were not Holocaust or genocide scholars/experts and so it wasn't "hundreds" of them, I don't see a strong case for making the requested language change. And since the language you're challenging here was reached via extended discussion (see Talk:List of concentration and internment camps#Streamlined U.S-Mexico border language), your proposed edit will need consensus to success.
Finally, suggesting that English is not someone's first language as an argument for why they don't agree with you is a personal attack. Please strike your personal attack against me immediately.
--Pinchme123 (talk) 17:08, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Correctly understanding English sentences is not personal interpretation, nor is it WP:OR. Newsweek is not a super reputable source, and has not appropriately reported the original source correctly, and has instead editorialized it. I did not read the word "all" into what the sentence in question states. The sentence in question specifically outlines "many of whom", which directly translates to NOT ALL members, but "many" (which could be 10%, 30%, or 5%). A reasonable argument can be made that as long as 200+ of the signatories are Holocaust or genocide scholars, then indeed the Newsweek editorialization is 100% factual. But you have yet to provide any source that states this! The burden of proof for that is on you, the original one making the claim.
Unless you can provide a reputable source that specifically states that enough of those signatories are Holocaust of genocide scholars, we cannot assume "hundreds" of them are.
Consider the sentence "100 million tax payers, many of whom are Muslims, protested the IRS". This does not mean tens of millions of tax payers are Muslim, it could be as small as five hundred thousand. Unless there's a specific source that states how "many" there are, we cannot make the claim "100 million Muslim tax payers protested the IRS". It is not properly understanding the semantics.
Finally, suggesting that English is not someone's first language isn't an argument nor a personal attack when it's clear that the semantics are not being understood. I will refuse to strike it, as it is not an "argument" or "personal attack", it's an observation.

Shouting and doubling-down on your personal attack against me isn't acceptable. I am, for the last time, noting my objection to this proposed change, but I'm done engaging with someone who can't be bothered to remain civil. --Pinchme123 (talk) 02:29, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
First off, it never was an insult, so you can't double down on something that never happened in the first place. It seems that instead of using sources, facts, logic, semantics, etc., you're resigned to inventing insults as "an argument". It appears that you're objecting due to the way you feel about the subject, not due to any logic or reason here. If you intend on commenting on this, please try to bring something new, since whatever points you've brought up have easily been torn down. Guess there's not much to gain from someone who can't be bothered to look at the logic and semantics behind the points being brought up. 2607:FB90:2840:F19C:58E9:3552:CAC8:CAA5 (talk) 04:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Bereza Kartuska concentration camp

These is a big banner to discuss reversions, so here I am. The correct name is Bereza Kartuska concentration camp. This is a site that was used for holding political prisoners, in particular ethnic minorities. While detained in the camp they were tortured. Modern scholars nearly always use concentration camp, for example: . Carpathian fox (talk) 06:50, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Significant problems with "Migrants at the Mexico–United States border"

According to Internment, this article should list places that describe the "imprisonment of people, commonly in large groups, without charges or intent to file charges." This is a necessary condition for listing a camp here (but not sufficient, as POW camps that would otherwise meet this criteria are listed elsewhere). However, the "Migrants at the Mexico–United States border" section does not cite any sources that meet this criteria. While there's a number of experts who use the word "concentration camps", this seems like a clear case where they are using a different definition from what this page is using.

Reading this section, I'm led to believe that the immigrants are being held without charges. This is not true (they were charged with the crime of Unlawful Entry).

In order for this section to remain, we need to find a reliable source that says the immigrants are being held "without charges or intent to file charges" in accordance with the definition being used by this page. Alternatively, the definition of Internment needs to be adjusted.

Or, if it turns out that we can find a reliable source that says all of the immigrants have been charged with a crime and are being processed lawfully, that would contradict the requirement for listing an example on this page, and it would need to be removed in its entirety, maybe moved to a list in a different article, that doesn't imply being held without charges. --Awwright (talk) 20:40, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Trump used facilities that were built during the Obama-Biden administration to house children at the border. Michelle Obama spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention and noted the "cages".  What she did not say is that the very same "cages" were built during and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose; that of holding migrant kids temporarily.

Expanding the description of scholars' letter to USHMM in "Migrants at the Mexico–United States border"

You deemed "The letter is a defense of analogies to allow for 'learning from the past' but does not discuss Ocasio-Cortez's comments or the U.S. detention camps." as unnecessary clarification. I agree that the individual need not be cited, despite being a core part of the sources you provided, but I believe there is still a need for the clarification that the rejection of resistance was not the whether the label is correct or incorrect, but rather the right to use it as an argument of analogy and for learning purposes. That was my core point and thus I think this clarification is needed for reading this page. 69.122.71.186 (talk) 18:47, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

I think the article already gives an appropriate description for the context of the original reaction from USHMM and the letter sent by 400+ scholars to them decrying that original reaction. This description is included to briefly reference the short-term controversy over calling these concentration camps "concentration camps." But this entry isn't about the letter or naming controversy, nor is it about analogies, so in my opinion any further expansion of describing the letter would probably run afoul of WP:UNDUE. --Pinchme123 (talk) 07:57, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

  • Why it should be changed: The list is incomplete, research indicates that Austria-Hungary had 10 major camps and circa 300 camps in total. There are also no specific pages for the entries, so the list page should be more detailed for the time being. More references and specific for each change available on request.
