I have restructured the article, and created articles for June deportation and March deportation. Unfortunately, the exact structure of these articles' interrelations is not clear for me at the moment; the {{see}} links should probably become into some more asymmetric pairs.
One approach that I can think of would be a regional distinction: the subarticles would concentrate on general aspects of the time-delimited deportations while this particular article would discuss general aspects of the geography-delimited deportations. Digwuren 17:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
I replaced the word entenced with sentenced in the legal status section. I just wanted to bring this to your attention in case entenced was correct.

English, Estonian. So lovely that friendly Soviets gave Estonians a chance to have a picnic in Siberia. -- Sander Säde 11:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Aadu Must has claimed to have found a Politburo directive from between 1937-1939 declaring Estonians along with some other nationalities as class enemies. If this is correct it would give additional and even more sinister meaning to the deportations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.196.42 ( talk) 19:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Georgian Daily 30 March 2009: Soviet Deportation of Estonians in 1949 was a Crime Against Humanity, Memorial Concludes by Paul Goble:

There's a tradition throughout the civilised world to refrain from speaking about the vices, mistakes and crimes of the recently departed. Thus, when obituaries are used as sources, they need to be taken by a particular grain of salt, and critically assessed. Where reasonably possible, obituaries should not be used as sources for anything else that the person has died. Διγουρεν Εμπρος! 16:01, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
What do Nazi war criminals have to do with the Soviet deportations? This is soapboxing. Colchicum ( talk) 16:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
There's the wonderful slogan of WP:SOFIXIT. You don't like the lack of sources? WP:SOFIXIT, they're easy to find. Διγουρεν Εμπρος! 17:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please provide here the exact wording of the European Parliament motion which declares this to be a crime against humanity? Because I am not seeing it, at all. -- Russavia Dialogue 21:10, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually, this is a draft version. Final versions carry a TA marker in their identifier. The final version of this resolution is at [3]. It must've taken a day to process and translate it; in fact, as of now, the Estonian, Greek and Finnish translations are still not yet available. Διγουρεν Εμπρος! 06:18, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
