Two "articles" in the ref list

There are two "articles" in the reference list that are not credible sources. These are:

The Peace Racket by Bruce Bawer, City Journal, Summer 2007. and Barbarians within the gate by Barbara Kay, National Post, February 18, 2009.

Someone is using right-wing nut rant, as a credible source for Galtung's quotes. Create a criticism section and put them there, clearly stating that those artivles are just Barbara Kay's and Bruce Bawer's opinion article and that what they claim are not facts. So far, there is no credible reference, like a Galtung article, that clearly shows that the man has those views. They are just right-wing nut point of views, nothing else. Unfortunately, the person that reads the wikipedia article may take it for truth. Please, correct it.

I've added an Unreliable Source tag to the articles in question. Deepred6502 (talk) 13:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose merging Violence Peace and Peace Research into Johan Galtung. The content in the former (which barely meets notability and is an extraordinarily long essay) can easily be explained in a shortened version in the latter without any weighting problems.
