[Cz-politics] Feedback and priorities? Anybody out there?

[Howard C. Berkowitz]

I've been writing on a number of subjects that cross the Military, Politics, History and
to some extent Law workgroups. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten much comment on talk pages
or collaborative editing. Am I writing on topics of no interest to anyone? If that's the
case, I should find out. If not, let me know what is most interesting, and please, please,
give me feedback.

 

There are several broad areas.  

 

Wars of Vietnam <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Wars_of_Vietnam> , with Vietnam
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Vietnam_War>  War a major subarticle, as well as many
lower-level subarticles, are at a fairly stable point. If any part can move to Approval,
I'd appreciate help. Dien <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Dien_Bien_Phu>  Bien Phu, and I
thought Battle of the Ia Drang <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Ia_Drang>
were close to approval, but, for reasons I'm not sure, did not progress. In another time
and place,  <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Battle_of_Brandywine/Definition> Battle of
Britain <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain> 

 

A number of technologies and techniques also are in reasonable shape, with many
subarticles. See, for example, Electronic warfare
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Electronic_warfare>  and Suppression of enemy air defense
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Suppression_of_enemy_air_defense> .

 

There are doctrinal things, such as Restructuring of the United
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Restructuring_of_the_United_States_Army>  States Army.

 

I went back and started (or rewrote) top-level articles on interrogation
<http://en.citizendium.org/Interrogation> , and extrajudicial detention, moving down into
national/historical period subarticles (e.g., Intelligence interrogation, U.S.
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Intelligence_interrogation%2C_U.S.> ), and then quite
heavily into the current issues of
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Intelligence_interrogation%2C_U.S.> Intelligence
<http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Intelligence_interrogation%2C_U.S.%2C_George_W._Bush_Admin
istration>  interrogation, U.S., George W. Bush Administration.  There are supporting
articles on international extradition, fairly stubby ones on the Geneva Conventions, and a
very substantial rewrite on torture <http://en.citizendium.org/Torture> . There are
individual articles on many interrogation techniques. 

 

By no means finished, but in some cases areas where I'm trying to pull out subsections
that could be brought to approval, are Iraq War <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Iraq_War>
and  <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Afghanistan_War_%281978-92%29/Definition> Afghanistan
War (2001-) <http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Afghanistan_War_%282001-%29> , as well as
Taliban <http://en.citizendium.org/Taliban> . Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden need
substantial work.
