== POV issue ==

This article seems to make an effort to portray the topic in an as inoffensive light as possible. Instead of a criticism section there is only a "support" section, and the lead glorifies America and its interests in both the words of the "opponents" and the supporters. There is little to no material about the experiences and viewpoints of the countries that were subject to American imperialism. ] (]) 11:36, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

The Allies of the United States section belongs on a separate page as it is more general and contemporary than the topic of the American imperialism page itself. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 05:45, 23 February 2022 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

The "against" section seems to ironically support the United States. It mentions the Mashall plan, how US "stabilized" South Korea and helped Vietnam with humanitarian aid.
It's also redacted as an original investigation.] (]) 15:42, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

: The following links in external links section which were there for years have been suddenly removed for unknown reasons. It could be due to censorship. It is unlikely that all 14 links were suddenly seen in violation of wiki rules and all removed at one go. There is good reason to believe that censorship is involved.


The timeline currently goes only up to the USA in Korea and Vietnam. Needs a massive edit to add everything after that, such as:

] says that all of the links violate https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided
and must be removed. I am unclear about the violation of these various links and I cannot accept such reasoning at face value. There is no explanation of how the 14 links violate the rules. I urge more debate and consensus reached before deleting these links which were there for years.

== 1800s American expansion through artistic expression ==
This links to a speech by Richard Haas giving his views on a New "Imperial America" in 2000. I see this as relevant to the topic of 'American Imperialism'. I don't get why this somehow violate the rules and must be removed. Can someone explain the reasoning as to why the link violated the rules and must be removed? We will start with this first link and go through the rest of the 14 links one by one until a consensus is reached on all 14 links.


I think that adding a section on how public opinion manifested itself in artistic expression with relation to American expansion would be beneficial in exploring responses and gauging the consensus at the time concerning American pursuits for territory.

Gone too far

The American Imperialism page has actually gone too far in one direction. Whilst this talk page was initially created to speak regarding the softness of the article regarding the topic, the entire article has been revamped in the opposite direction. Thus, it is still not a neutral article. In most other professional and encyclopedic versions of articles I have read on Misplaced Pages, historians are cited occasionally to give a point of view, but in this article it is so cluttered with negative historical views of America's foreign policy, you miss out on the actual informative things. A standard middle school textbook does a better job than the current article, which desperately needs to be fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.7.66.150 (talkcontribs) 22:41, November 26, 2016 (UTC)
