Notice to editors regarding moving this page

It has been disputed in the past what to appropriately name this page, supporters and opposers of the move referencing possible names such as Darfur crisis, Genocide in Darfur, and Ethnic cleansing in Darfur. Because editors and people outside of Wikipedia have in the past, and continue to dispute what is the best name to give for the conflict/genocide in Darfur, editors (on Wikipedia) that wish to move this page should request a move and start a discussion on it, to gather support for a move of this magnitude. Please refrain from moving this page on your own good faith, as your move could create unattended dispute.

For more information, see Wikipedia's policy regarding article titles.

sourcing

This article is remarkably selective in its sourcing and excludes a great deal of the most important reporting on Darfur, most notably by the Small Arms Survey (Geneva) and the work of Eric Reeves, including a book devoted entirely to Darfur "(A Long Day's Dying: Critical Moments in the Darfur Genocide"; Key Press [Toronto], 2007). Half of a second book by Reeves is devoted to Darfur ("Compromising With Evil: An archival history of Greater Sudan, 2007 - 2012; an e-Book at www.compromisingwithevil.org). The "bibliography" is laughable: one book by Flint and de Waal. Important, but there have been many books on Darfur, some by longstanding students of Darfur. This article omits so much, despite its length, that it is difficult not to conclude that there is a deliberate and slanted selection of materials cited on a wide range of subjects. The entire article needs to be reworked by another, more knowledgeable and objective author.
