Talk:Seiji Yoshida

Editing for tone

I found the following paragraph taking a POV tone too far:

Since then, historians seeking to deny or downplay the existence of comfort women commonly mention Yoshida and his testimony; they cherry-pick his work as an example of low-credibility writing and attack his claims that specific women in certain locations were enslaved as comfort women, with the aim of denying that any women anywhere were victims of sexual violence by the Imperial Japanese Army.

First, the use of the accusation of "cherry-picking" is a bit too critical for a neutral presentation. Second, I doubt seriously that any scholar anywhere would honestly deny that "any women anywhere were victims of sexual violence by the Imperial Japanese Army." This is obviously a bit of hyperbole intended to ridicule those who deny the practice of enforced prostitution by the Japanese in WWII. Hopefully my edit is a bit more neutral in this respect.

Verifiable and reliable sources

I reverted some recent edits to this article because they were contentious assertions that either lacked verifiable sources or were based on blogs or other politically biased sources that were not reliable. The subject of this article has been the subject of much controversy recently and I urge editors to maintain neutrality and maintain the WP:FIVEPILLARS of Wikipedia.
