Talk:Three Pashas

comments

Bad English

The grammar used in this article is terrible. What the heck is "As much as these three men united, fractions existed in the party" supposed to mean? Without knowing what the author was trying to say, I can't improve this. Can someone provide some clues for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talk • contribs) 17:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

edited a bit but still lots to do

I worked on the first paragraph (the only one with citations that weren't from a book I can't find or a dead link) but this is a terribly written, totally not NPOV article. To not mention the Armenian Genocide when discussing the 3 Pashas is a bit like writing about Japan's Hideki Tojo and failing to mention his role in WW2. Genocide deniers aside, without mentioning little facts like they were sentenced to death for "crimes against humanity" (while the term "genocide" hadn't been coined in 1915 I am still using it since the killing of 1.5 million ethnic anyone goes beyond the "it was war and accidents sometimes happen" argument) this article doesn't make sense. According to the original article the 3 Pashas both ran Ottoman Turkey and did not make any of the crucial choices that led to Turkey's downfall. It didn't even mention they were Young Turks, which seems bizarre.

I have noticed in several articles here on Wiki concerning the Armenian Genocide there have been attempts to rewrite the articles as if it didn't happen, as if simply removing certain words somehow changes history. I do not know what Wiki's policy on Genocide deniers is, but since none of the articles on the Holocaust start with "there is some debate whether 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis" I wonder why it is permitted when Ottoman apologists make claims that say, basically, the Armenians had it coming to them? This seems, to me, to be a double standard Himeyuri (talk) 18:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
