[edit] Article name

Tule Lake is a Lake. Tule Lake War Relocation Center on the otherhand is a Japanese American internment camp. --Crazyjoe 01:57, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

It is entirely possible that there may be POV language in this article, but this should be noted here BEFORE adding the tag. For this reason, ie, lack of justification, I am boldly removing the tag. --Mashford 12:48, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Using "notorious" to describe Tule Lake might be accurate, but given that this is an encyclopedia, it isn't a very neutral term. It should be replaced with something neutral or removed. -- Gmatsuda 21:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

"Notorious" has been removed. I propose the same for the POV tag (again). Mashford (talk) 19:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It's still there. :) Tule Lake may very well have been the most "notorious" of the ten camps. However, to say so without anything verifiable to back it up is POV. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 11:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I changed "notorious" to "controversial," which is the term used by the Tule Lake Committee history webpage <http://www.tulelake.org/history.html>. I thought it was the most "neutral" word one could use to describe what was essentially a political prisoner camp, given its history of being the place where dissenting internees and anti-internment protesters were sent. I'm now in the process of digging out my old papers and notes re Tule Lake in the hopes I can find better references.Fengxi (talk) 02:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)fengxi

That works. :-) -- Gmatsuda (talk) 02:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
