[edit] US Centric

Er, how can this represent a world view? This battle only occured in the US... I'm removing the tag unless someone explains why they feel that way. EricDerKonig 206.154.229.139 13:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The article is written entirely from U.S. sources, and does not have much information on the British perspective of the battle. Also note that the title "Baylor Massacre" is the U.S. name of the battle. I don't know what the British name of the battle is. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 20:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

To EricDerKonig, apparently Wikipedia entry are supposed to say that a brutal dictatorship like Britain in america are to be treated as any other point of view. I resent that Britain in 1778 should be treated like a valid point of view like being a monarchist thugs is just like any other opinion.

To Chris, why should Britain in america not be treated like Nazi Germany ? Why should we call those thugs loyalist and not Royalist like they were. This battle is clearly done with intention to butcher an maim sadisticly Why should we call this kind of savagery anything else then a massacre ? You should read about the Hancock massacre that use the same savagery

When you deal with nazi germany do you require a balance view ? Do we call the fall of Hitler a tragedy ? We know full well the crap British view on this. They are simply wrong. Thank god British Thugs lost.

As for world view I'm not american and this entry is also my view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Republique2007 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Republique, I'm one of the primary authors of this article, and I've tried to write it based on the facts as I was best able to determine, but all of my readings are from U.S. sources. There are obvious limitations based on this, and so the set of facts about this incident is almost certainly incomplete. Please read the NPOV policy and about efforts to counter systemic bias. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 13:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
