Sri Lankan Government replied to this video by producing a Video called "Lies Agreed Upon". It shows how Channel 4 deliberately mislead the world. So, Wikipedia should make a separate entry for "Lies Agreed Upon" or they should include details under this title. Then it will prove Wikipedia is unbiased website. Thanks

Welcome to Wikipedia anonymous editor. Please add this to the "Aftermath" section, and if your addition is significant do consider creating a separate article as well.--obi2canibetalk contr 20:00, 1 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

No Wikipedia article of any documentary film or a film in general contains a "Content" section that describes the video, scene by scene, quoting out almost every line of dialog that are used in the film's armature videos. The very reason this film got an Wikipedia article is something I don't understand. I noticed this is the only film that received an article that was made by the TV Channel Channel 4 and one of the few, if not the only made by a TV Channel in that matter. Even though if this really deserves an article, this article is well against the Wikipedia standards and policies. An article of a film should only describe it's content with a section, generally named Plot or Content, by delivering the core outline of the film. So, I request the article's "Content" section to be edited to be as shown bellow:

The documentary features interviews with various personalities such as ....... And videos that are claimed to be shot by both civilians and Sri Lankan Soldiers around the final days of the Civil war. The armature videos are claimed to be showing the Sri Lankan government Shelling on Hospitals, Army officials killing civilians etc. And so on.

I'm not a general article writer of Wikipedia. So the above paragraph may seem a bit sloppy. I'd be glad if someone make the edit as suggested, or if some other Wikipedia user, who feels that this Documentary doesn't deserve an article, put it up for deletion.

You are very wrong Composemi. There are thousands of articles on Wikipedia about TV programmes. If you had bothered to look at the articles categories you would have noticed that there are:
I had some doubts about the content section but there are there articles which contain detailed "content" sections: e.g. Fahrenheit 9/11; Bowling for Columbine.--obi2canibetalk contr 18:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
