References

Much of the material that I initially added to the article was copied from other wikipedia articles. So, I can't vouch for the accuracy of all the info and references. I haven't taken the time yet to check all of the info against the sourcing. Feel free to do so. --Timeshifter (talk) 23:13, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Structure - Women casualties of war

I have moved this section on top. War rape usually refers to women victims (and in some cases children), it appears to me that this should be explained at the beginning of the article (I really have not come across any documented cases of largescale war rape on men…) Also, the way war rape is perceived and punished links to the justification of war, the level or protection awarded to women in peacetime, and notions of how "civilians" should be treated. On top of that war rape may also be used as deliberate military tactic in more recent times. Hence we have to somehow find a structure that manages to capture this dynamic….--SasiSasi (talk) 12:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images - Maps - take out

Hi Timeshifter, I have removed the images (the maps) because they break up the structure of the article (especially at the end and the section the images relate to, there is very little text for a lot of map) and add no value to the article. Apart from the Congo map (which locates a village were war rape occurred), the maps are not even relevant to the text! The images should be relevant to the article (see the Konstantin Makovsky. The Bulgarian martyresses. image).

You say articles are boring without pictures.... but lets face it, this is an article about war rape (and international law), you wont find many entertaining pictures to add to the article (or pictures that are very pleasant for that matter).... but at least we could make an effort and find relevant pictures. I am really in favour of taking the maps out in favour of other images. Also, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a picture book or the sun newspaper... lets improve the content of the article to prevent collective boredom. --SasiSasi (talk) 22:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people are only into text, some are into mainly images, and some like both. I did not say we needed entertaining images. But images definitely help articles. I have over 5000 edits on the Commons, and have seen how images have helped many articles. Plus since I started this article I think I deserve a little slack, no? :)

I did some preliminary clarifications and will be back to improve it more. I am busy right this moment. --Timeshifter (talk) 00:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

is this some sort of mine is bigger than yours ("I have over 5000 edits on the Commons"), also, nobody has ownership of an article (this is Wikipedia after all).... lets focus on this article. I will take out the Darfur maps as no relevance to the text, apart from that it is Darfur (I will move the two images to the Darfur article, I think they are more helpful there). The Congo maps could be nice, but needs sizing down (we have three maps now!).--SasiSasi (talk) 09:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
