USS Liberty incident[edit]

Well-researched, well-written, NPOV article about a relatively little-known, but important subject. ——Preost talk contribs 12:21, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

  • no Article still seems to be evolving, not in stable state. Gzuckier 15:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Article still not stable, and regularly subjected to POVing by partisans. Jayjg (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. Agree with Jayjg , this article should have undergone a peer review before coming here. --ZeWrestler Talk 17:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • object a) some key elements are not sufficiently described. For example, the congressional enquiries are only covered from the critical point of view, some kind of "NPOV description" of at least the key ones is needed. b) there are a number of crucial documents referenced with direct links only. Given how volatile this subject is likely to be, proper references including author/date/summary/key points used etc. are needed. This applies particularly to the transcripts and interviews which are used in ways which aren't fully obvious from the text. Some form of footnoting system, e.g. footnotes or invisible references would help considerably Mozzerati 21:19, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Mild object. Need more sources and info, such as more details on this tantalizing item: "Captain William L. McGonagle, the USS Liberty's commander, received the highest U.S. medal, the Congressional Medal of Honor, for his actions during the incident. However, his medal is the only CMH not to be awarded by the U.S. President in a formal event." Why wasn't it presented in a formal event? If the editor addresses the concerns listed here, I will support. --Alabamaboy 01:56, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
