Comment edit

My comments on the sand box version still mostly apply I think. The article needs lots of links, and the lead needs to be much longer. But it's coming on nicely. Many of the articles in the category should be linked to. Johnbod (talk) 12:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your comments! I will be working on your suggestions in the coming days. Psyoon (talk) 18:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)Reply


Impressive page. The breadth of the global discussion of the topic is useful as is your framing around colonialism and war. Good use of sources as well. Radavis147 (talk) 16:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Neutrality disputed edit

As is reflected in the lead's calling archeological/anthropological expeditions "looting", this article is biased against scientific research/scholarship and in favor of various nationalistic or otherwise parochial claims. It also has a considerable amount of politically correct jargon such as "colonialist discourse". Allens (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow wikipedians,

I intend to add more up to date information and links throughout this article but specifically focusing on the controversy section by adding detailed summaries of the current and past arguments for and against repatriation as well as key underlying aspects behind the ongoing repatriation debate.

Recent changes to lead, chronology and the list of international examples edit

Having found some repetitions and an inconsistent chronological order of the article, I have just tried to remedy these issues. Also, I have added summary information to the lead to reflect the scope of the article. - The description of the two sides for and against repatriations seems very useful, as well as the indication that there are some signs of overcoming this stalemate. The article is already quite long, and the list of section 5 International examples can be completed with more examples further to my additions of today, regarding Belgium, Germany, the UK and the US. Since the article deals first of all with the concept of repatriation, including some important historical examples, the list of many other international makes it too long in my view. I would rather suggest an new article or list of such examples and to order it according to continents, rather than by the alphabet. - As these changes and suggestions certainly are of interest to other editors of this very useful article, I am looking forward to their comments and suggestions.

Thanks, but in the introduction there is a big scope on the Napoleonic Wars. And nothing else. This is not neutral. Regards, Marc-AntoineV (talk) 18:16, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
