[edit] Operation Auca

Something I've been working on for awhile, and no, it isn't about welding. Initially there were some NPOV concerns; I believe they have been taken care of. Not too many images here; in response to the peer review, I drew the map, and prior to that I had succeeded in getting the airplane image, but I haven't heard from any of the other people I've contacted. As for references, I've attempted to use as varied a selection of sources as possible, but unfortunately the only sources I've found that include the details of the attacks are works by people related to the missionaries, though one of them is based on Hauorani eyewitness accounts.

  • comment. A very interesting article. Fascinating! Just some minor observations. The article seems to be low in wikilinks. One might want to click on words like Eastern Ecuador, Napo, Curaray (was just wondering if this is where Curare came from), School of Missionary Medicine and so on. Ok, I just got a link to Curaray river. However, it is in a later section. It should be linked on the very first occasion. --Dwaipayan (talk) 19:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Great point. I went through and added a number of links, though for some sections I had trouble finding words worth linking. In some cases, the organizations and schools mentioned were so small that they probably don't warrant their own articles (such as the School of Missionary Medicine), so I haven't linked them. However, I'll try to do more research on some of them to see if they still exist and potentially deserve an article. Thanks for the suggestion! --Spangineer[es] (háblame) 06:48, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Support I voted quickly before you turn every other word wikilinked ;) IMO, no need to wikilink violence, martyr, chanting and dancing and common words like that. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment I just removed a bunch of frivolous wikilinks - The Catfish 00:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Dates should be linked so that user preferences take effect, as per WP:DATE. Thanks for getting the other ones though. --Spangineer[es] (háblame) 05:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
