I'm a Candian-born, Persian-American, thus I have no stake in this subject. I know how passionate both sides are. As per the NY Times article I read today, this documentary seems to have created noteworthy buzz, so I decided to add this article. I tried to keep it reasonably NPOV. I also disambuigated (if that's a word) the original The Armenian Genocide page. Happy (I hope) editing! -- Bobak 20:02, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Also I have yet to check whether members of Congress actually conducted "an intense" lobbying effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.238.146 ( talk) 15:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
The article uses the word "asset" as a verb, but according to webster, it is a noun ??? Webster online - asset —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xerces8 ( talk • contribs) 15:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
Bobak, if you find that certain portions of a cited source are acceptable but others aren't then please find another source. In the article you wrote "massacre", and I corrected that phrase for the second time and replaced it with the appropriate terminology and nomenclature used to refer to the Armenian Genocide.
Source that you yourself used
"And that was the idea behind a panel discussion that PBS planned to show after tonight's broadcast of "The Armenian Genocide," a documentary about the extermination of more than one million Armenians by the Turkish Ottoman Empire during World War I."
Article (Written by Bobak)
"The Armenian Genocide is a documentary exploring the circumstances surrounding the massacre of more than one million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I."
Clearly you are very ignorant on this matter, and as you have stated yourself, you have inadequate knowledge on this subject. Nomenclature and the titles and terms used to refer to the government and the events of the Armenian Genocide are very important.
"Massacre" connotes simply mass-killings and not deliberate, systematic extermination planned and implemented by the state and carried out with popular support.
Important distinctions should also be made between "Ottoman Empire" and "Turkish Ottoman Empire," as the former connotes that the modern-day Republic of Turkey is not responsible for the atrocities committed by their predecessors a century ago.
There are no reasons to revert any of these changes as you can see Bobak. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.166.238.146 ( talk) 12:29, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
