This is not acceptable. I am now referring this to the ME and Constabulary. The article is not scientific and is written to win the argument about terminology. It has no references and NO SUPPORTING FACTS for the claims made in it. Just an opinion piece. [[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|Martin Baldwin-Edwards]] 00:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


:I have also referred it to the Constabulary. It did, in fact, have one reference in  the early draft that was blanked, as well as many wikilinks. I only discovered it was blanked when I was about to add references from the [[International Criminal Court]]

Content ruling by the Managing Editor

The current version of this article does not provide the reader with any information about the topic at hand, so it is simply not suitable for the main namespace. I thus rule that the current version be replaced by the following: 

{{subpages}}
'''War crimes''', along with [[genocide]] and [[crime against humanity|crimes against humanity]], are
serious violations of [[international humanitarian law]] (both customary
and treaty) that have been determined as [[criminal offence]]s with
individual responsibility.

The article should then remain locked until further procedures to allow content development have been worked out. This talk page shall be locked for 24h as well.

--Daniel Mietchen 02:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC) (Managing Editor)

Text replaced on the article page consistent with the above ruling and talk page locked for 24 hours per ME. D. Matt Innis 02:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
This talk page is now unlocked per the above ME ruling. D. Matt Innis 04:10, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Citizen confused about the history of War crime

The Talk page does not help in following the reasons for the events that led to blocking this article. To wit, Martin's reasons for blanking the Main Article are not detailed on the Talk page, and his brief note seen on the History page does not enlighten. David's reversion, possibly based on Martin's lack of detailed explanation, was again reverted.

Why cannot a Citizen see what's going on by reviewing the Talk page? Perhaps Martin had good reason to blank the article, but if so, he did not exemplify or amplify. David's justification for restoring also were not justified on the Talk page.

Nor did Howard, who initiated and begin developing the article, comment on the Talk page.

I'd like to see this important topic developed, in part selfishly as I'd like to learn about the topic. I don't see any collaborative work being done, and now I cannot add my meager contributions, should I have any.
