Selective coverage

[edit]

I'm puzzled. Why does this article only cherrypick the Commission's criticism of NATO, without mentioning the far stronger criticism of Serb atrocities in Kosovo? Like several other articles, it gives the impression that NATO were actually the bad guys somehow. Sources tell a different story. How does this keep on happening? bobrayner (talk) 15:37, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage still seems to be highly selective, so I've added a bit more text based on the IICK's report. bobrayner (talk) 23:51, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have responded to your question (diff) and explained that the commission was convened to investigate and report if western (NATO) intervention in Kosovo were legitimate and adequate. That is why the text I wrote was focused on the findings of commission about western (NATO) actions. Why did you insist on my respond (diff) although I already responded to your question?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation

[edit]

The commission was convened to investigate and report if western (NATO) intervention in Kosovo were legitimate and adequate. Michael Bothe; Boris Kondoch (2002). International Peacekeeping: The Yearbook of International Peace Operations. Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. p. 325. ISBN 978-90-411-1920-9. ..a Commission convened by Prime Minister Pers- son of Sweden to investigate and report on the legitimacy and adequacy of western actions in Kosovo.

The only quotation used in this article does not present the main conclusion of the Commission about NATO bombing of Yugoslavia being "illegal but justified". Instead the quotation presents justification of NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. That is wrong and violates WP:NPOV. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 20:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you actually read the report? It's quite comprehensive and, unlike the text you wrote, the report certainly doesn't frame NATO as the bad guy. It would be helpful if you could respond to the previous section on this talkpage before creating more problems. bobrayner (talk) 23:39, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With this revert, for instance, you reintroduce content which isn't actually about the IICK; the IICK report didn't actually say that. bobrayner (talk) 23:43, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Illegality of NATO bombing is clearly reported by the commission as one of its two main conclusions (illegal but justified). The text I reintroduced explains that illegality of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia may result in determining a responsibility of individuals or state. Will you please be so kind to revert yourself and restore referenced text to this article? --Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:00, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
