This page seems to completely lack a neutral point of view. I know not enough of the period to correct it. Someone?

Who uses this term "silent ethnic cleansing"? What is the source for this information? --

A quick search on Google turns up the term almost exclusively on pages devoted to the usual suspects -- Serbian nationalists, Nazi apologists, and extremists on both sides in Northern Ireland. I am getting a
very itchy trigger finger again, though I'll restrain myself for a while to see if someone can demonstrate why this shouldn't go entirely. --

I guess the editing of
The Cunctator already helpel a lot. --

It's not just the content of the page, though, Tsja. The title itself appears to be one of those wonderful code phrases so beloved by political extremists. Punch "Silent Ethnic Cleansing" into Google and examine the lovely list of wingnuts that appears. I'm hoping this is persuasive enough that I won't have to be the one to blow it away again....--

i dont think 'looking on google to see if wackos talk about it' is a good way to determine whether something makes a good encyclopedia artcile.
hopefully if the original author cares enough,
they will put more into the entry.
--- Oh my...I go away for a few hours...It's amazing what you can find on google, if you look for the right things. How about sending this to Alternate History? JHK

actually, I was thinking about looking under certain authors...JHK
The origin of the term as explained in the original version of the article is clearly untrue. A bit of digging has turned up earlier uses of the term, all concerned with supposed ethnic cleansing of Serbs by Muslims in the former Yugoslavia.
I remain extremely dubious about the usefulness of this article, but I have explained the term as neutrally as I can based on what I've seen. -- Paul Drye
