I cleaned up the article somewhat to add historical context and bring this up to wikipedia standards. However, the long quotations are unreferenced, and may have been included more for inflammatory than historical purposes. I don't have time to do the further editing needed on this or lots of other Armenian genocide related articles. Frankly, I think a first step might be to organize the lengthy Witnesses_and_testimonies_of_the_Armenian_Genocide, perhaps by nationality or work context, such as putting Coan with other missionary witnesses like Grace Knapp, Tacy Atkinson, the Usshers, Earnest Yarrow, Ruth Parmalee, Mary Louise Graffham and George White, rather than interspersing diplomats and whistleblowing(?) Turks.Jweaver28 (talk) 13:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
