85 people massacred in their sleep by NATO cannot be brushed aside as not 'neutral'. People who look at this article at least can get an independent account of events by non-US media.

:No one is brushing aside the claim. It is clearly covered in the article. However, the language you are using is incredibly loaded and denotes bias, and therefore does not meet Wikipedia standards. First, you need [[WP:RS]] for your claims. Blogs and youtube videos are not reliable sources. Second, "massacre" implies an intentional act. Even if the former regimes claims are true, which haven't been independently verified, you'd have to show those people were intentionally targeted and not collateral damage. Please see [[WP:NPOV]] for more info about this. [[User:Fovezer|Fovezer]] ([[User talk:Fovezer|talk]]) 01:45, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

An unembedded journalist account of the massacre of Majer: 85 people massacred by NATO http://rolandotelesur.blogspot.com/2011/08/la-masacre-de-majer.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.190.29 (talk) 20:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The former Libyan regime's claim has already been noted in the paragraph. There is no need to include you POV-pushing statement and definitely not in bold letters. Keep the article neutral. Fovezer (talk) 22:24, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
