[edit] My Lai Massacre
The My Lai Massacre is a symbol of US-American war crimes in Vietnam, and the guilt for this is today an important part of US-American identity.
Oppose. Needs reference section, which is a basic requirement for any featured article. Also, an image of where My Lai was would be nice, plus the pronunciation of the name in IPA. Páll 17:57, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose — this is an important and controversial article: I don't feel that it is near ready for featured status. As it hasn't been through peer review, I suggest it is moved there. Gareth Hughes 19:33, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, not fully NPOV'd and reviewed yet. Some awful POV lurking in important subtopics in other articles, as I found out today at Hugh Thompson, Jr.. Scanning My Lai Massacre shows mixed tense, poor wording choices; the article is generally written from an anti-war point of view. I'll work on it more later. silsor 21:15, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. An incredible amount has been written about this important incident, which this article does not reflect. Simply not detailed enough. Move to Peer review. - BanyanTree 05:11, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Refer to Peer Review. What they said. — mark ✎ 16:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
