Revisions

It was interesting to read much of the same information from other sources! I too only made a few small changes to grammar and sentence structure, plus added a link to Edward F. Lyons, Jr. in the "See Also" section. The pictures are great and I like how you broke the trial into sections. I would just beef up your intro paragraph - I added an extra citation which I'm going to send you, it's short but has a lot of unique details of the trial - but maybe go more in depth into the context of the situation. Overall great! --Isabellemcelentano (talk) 14:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I really liked the way you organized the trial into subsections. It made the overall reading experience much easier. The use of the table with the name and sentence of the accused was also a smart way of summing up the a lot of important info! All in all, really good and I couldn't find any grammatical mistakes, but I did add a link to World War II. The only thing that was hard to follow was citation. I know you used beta, but it would be helpful to use another kind of citation method just to make the editing a lot easier for those who don't use beta. Oh and I loved that you added pictures, really great seeing some visuals! --Sarahnals (talk) 16:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to massacre and trial?

Half of this article is about the Borkum Island massacre, which has no separate article (I've just created a redirect). While we could consider splitting this, we could also consider renaming this to Borkum Island massacre and war crimes trial or shorter, Borkum Island massacre and trial. Thoughts? (Another option is to just move it to 'massacre' article, as we generally focus on the events first, and trials are more of an 'aftermath'). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:44, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
