Comment

I'm writing a paper on the King-Crane Commission right now (no, I didn't come here for research, I was hoping that Crane's article would have a biographical tidbit, and I followed the link out of curiousity) and if I have any will to think about the Commission after tomorrow afternoon, I'll see what I can do.

NPOV issues

this article contains clear evidence of bias, most strinkingly under the heading 'The Koenig Memorandum (zionisms solution)', which implies that Zionism seeks to terrorise and murder Arabs. the rest of the article portrays the King-Crane commission as an authoratative and comprehensive international commission -- a description disputed by virtually all scholars, particularly because Crane was a notorious anti-Semite who printed and distributed copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and met with and praised Adolf Hitler. (even a simple web search turns up Crane's name in Robert Michael's A Concise History of American Antisemitism, p. 129). in short, someone needs to improve this article to reflect better standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.139.166.160 (talk) 15:05, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

a further note -- i just realised that the whole 'Koenig' section was a work of recent vandalism and i have removed it. however, the rest of the article still needs NPOV improvement. 89.139.166.160 (talk) 15:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mandate or Independence

If I am not mistaken, the report was mostly considering, and to some degree supporting, the idea of an Amereican mandate over Asia Minor, Istanbul and Armenia, there was no mention of an "idependent Armenian state" as this article claims or implies. Unless there is a sepcific reference to specific wording in the report, this should be corrected. --173.77.168.53 (talk) 19:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2019 Work

I realize that the Zionist section will be controversial. I encourage you to change the section to include more Jewish voices. I realize as it stands the section is biased. I would love some help to change that!BlockCrew (talk) 21:19, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
