Article Rating Change & Improvements

As a Wikipedia Ambassador, I have read many good articles produced by students. I must say this is one of those that is quite well done. On top of the good writing, I think this has the length and content quality to reach B class. It is a very good read, and from what I can tell, the sources are very accurate, especially on a difficult topic such as this. I have a few notes about this. First, lob off the overview, instead incorporate it into the introduction at the top of the article. It should be 2-3 paragraphs summarizing the article, citations are fine, but are not necessary. Next, there are many paragraphs (such as in the dates sections early on), the quote under the legal sections, and all bullet points that need citations at the end of them. I can tell which source they are coming from, but you all have to cite the source at the end of each paragraph and bullet point. This way it is clear that it coming from the same source (or multiple sources if you cite 2+ at the end of each paragraph). Overall great article, and I hope you all can make these changes because the citations are very well done and the article is very expansive and informative on this topic. All that were involved should be proud. Kayz911 (talk) 02:48, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tightened up intro, added specific reference links to paragraphs in legal sections and bullet points. Hammancheez (talk) 15:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hat's off to Hammancheez!! You did an outstanding job! I am the instructor for the other two students who were working on the page; we'll find something else for their assignment. Waterbug42 (talk) 17:57, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why the F*** is there a Justification section?

Where's the "justification" section for the holocaust wiki? Why not lay out the "good" that it would do? Christ.

Updating Links and Page

Hi, I think this page could benefit from being updated. The External Links section has beneficial links to the North Carolina Office of Justice for Sterilization Victims, unfortunately the three other links do not work. This includes the links to for Elaine Riddick, The Winston Salem Journal, and the news article by Martha Waggoner. These should probably either be updated or removed all together. The other way I think this article could be improved is in update on the restitution process. The last information given from 2013 said that restitution money was allocated in the appropriations bill. Did restitution ever come to fruition? If it hasn't why is that so? I think the article can benefit from exploring the opposing viewpoint in terms of restitution. Is this opposing group preventing restitution from being given?
