[edit] Linden Tree monument

At the bottom of the page is a list of (I assume) related monuments, one of which is the "Linden Tree monument." The link says there is currently no page by that name. I tried Google and several other sources, but came up dry on exactly what this might be, but it sounds like something I need to explore for a book I'm writing (it's too involved to explain why here). Can anyone suggest more information or share any knowledge of what and where this is? I'd be happy to have a crack at writing the missing page if I can find it. I'd volunteer to work on the Japan project, but I'm already buried in the German project, not to mention the aformentioned book. Wood Artist 21:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations needed

Currently this article is in sore need of help as there are very few citations and many statements that, while probably true, have no references. I will be adding this to the list of articles that need citations. This is the first time I have done this though so if there is an issue with this please let me know.

[edit] Pearl Harbor link political flamebait?

What's the point of the Pearl Harbor link first in the See Also section? It's not directly connected to the peace park afaik. In my experience, it's often given as an excuse or reason for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which makes it completely inappropriate. I say we remove it complately.

Done. That's my photo of the peace bell. On the same trip I visited Pearl Harbor. One of the audio-visual displays at the visitors centre gave the impression that Hiroshima was payback. I found this utterly revolting, unless one takes the position that one sneak attack deserves another. In encyclopaedic terms, there is no link between the two links, save that they are incidents in the same war. Link to WW2, sure, but not PH. --Pete (talk) 04:41, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
