Although various direct facts might support a sweeping label of the character of any individual, group or country, some phrases incite possible emotional responses while downplaying rational observation and discourse.
i am unsure if there is a wiki policy applicable to this, but i feel the whole section as such inappropriate.
i mean what the list of examples of commercialization of a historical controversy has to do with the encyclopedical discussion of the historical event?
why would arcade games and TV serials belong into an article about a war - a political, historical event? i feel undue weight is given to popular culture reflections about the historical event - imho actually zero weight would be more appropriate. i am not very familiar with the WP guidances relating to this, but i think this article (and potentially any other article that is not particularly about pop culture) would be better, more to the point without unnecessary inclusion of pop culture references. 89.134.199.32 ( talk) 21:00, 21 July 2020 (UTC).
They were death squads. They are, in many instances, the go to example of US funded death squads. 72.28.60.42 ( talk) 02:35, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Further, removing the sources is against the npov rule:
"Generally, do not remove sourced information from the encyclopedia solely because it seems biased. Instead, try to rewrite the passage or section to achieve a more neutral tone. Biased information can usually be balanced with material cited to other sources to produce a more neutral perspective, so such problems should be fixed when possible through the normal editing process"
It should at least be mentioned that they are commonly considered death squads — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.60.42 ( talk) 02:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
The use of the term "right-wing" makes no sense and is at risk for creating a bias as the group is not related to right-wing in terms of economic policies at all. Melledelle ( talk) 16:29, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
