Armenian genocide

Why no mention of WW's failure to pressure, through diplomacy or force, Turkey to cease its Christian Armenian genocide. Over 1.5 million non-combatant civilian [Christian] Armenian men, woman, and children murdered in cold blood macabre by Turkish forces, yet WW goes out of his way to avoid declaring war on Turkey or even pressuring Turkey in any effective way. Meanwhile, WW claims we declare war on Germany because of their, "warfare against mankind" and "wrongs which ... cut to the very root of human life." Isn't that what Turkey was doing by lining up Armenian children in front of ditches and murdering them systematically? The New York Times apparently published 145 articles on the Armenian genocides in 1915 alone. Maybe WW considered Armenian's as a swarthy people, thus not worth the effort. "Making the world safe for democracy", was not a priority for WW.

And, also, the Assyrian Genocide which happened at the same time, where about 3/4ths of the Assyrian population was killed - around 750,000 civilians. Waleeta (talk) 18:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)waleeta[reply]

I cut the sections on these genocides because there was no attempt to relate them to the subject of the article, Woodrow Wilson. If other editors think that the genocides, or Wilson's inaction regarding them, are important, then they should be properly incorporated, showing their relevance. NB they probably won't require separate sections. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why is there no title for the second heading? Major error in getting this article to at least GA. Thisisborin9^{talk · contribs · guestbook} 03:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Fail

Hi, I've looked over this article for GA Review, and it fails the Good Article criteria, and on multiple points, particularly relating to criteria one and two (writing and verifiability):

1. There are too many sections, too many of which are too short. They need to be consolidated and expanded. The article simply does not flow. One section even has an "expansion" tag.

2. The presence of numerous "citation needed" tags is enough for a quick fail.

This article is a decent start, but needs quite a lot more work before it is brought back to WP:GAN. Perhaps after some further work, it could be taken to peer review rather than directly to Good Article nominations? --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:29, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
