Changed "Serbian irredentists" to Serbian nationalists"

[edit]

I've changed the sub-heading "Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian irredentists" to "Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbian nationalists". The reason is that "irredentists" is a loaded term and I don't think is NPOV. It lacks clear definition, as the article on Irredentism says: "Many definitions of irredentism have been proposed to give a more precise formulation. Despite a wide overlap concerning its general features, there is no consensus about its exact characterization." Given the uncertainty about what it means, I don't think we should use it for a sub-heading. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:04, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment replying to Ferguson's argument: original research?

[edit]

I've put cn / OR at this sentence in the section on the Anglo-German naval race:

"That ignores the fact..."

The sentence appears to be an argument against Ferguson's conclusion, but without providing a cite; looks like Wikipedia is rebutting Ferguson's conclusion in wiki-voice. Can't tell if this sentence just needs a citation (i.e. some of the other cites in this section would show that some academic is making that rebuttal to Ferguson?), or if it's Original research?
