Earlier English-language book(s) on Nanjing Massacre?

[edit]
"When [Iris Chang] searched the local public libraries in her school and found nothing, she wondered why no one had written a book about it."

Why doesn't this article mention Harold John Timperley's What War Means: The Japanese Terror in China (1938)? Chang's own book refers to it. Muzilon (talk) 05:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quote in lead

[edit]

@LilAhok per WP:MOSLEAD and MOS:QUOTE the quote doesn't belong in the lead. It has nothing to do with the book itself either, this is an article about a book not an article on the rape of Nanking. Traumnovelle (talk) 02:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vocabulary in Lede

[edit]

There is a disagreement in about the use of "perceived" in the lede. The word is dismissive and isn't used by the author or mentioned anywhere else in the article.

[1]

The same user used the same word in another article about the massacre. Pattern suggests it was a random, quick edit in the lead. [2]— Preceding unsigned comment added by LilAhok (talkcontribs) 08:20, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for the Japanese having an ignorance of the event? Traumnovelle (talk) 08:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
