Create Category:Anti-Americanism?

Would someone like to go ahead and create Category:Anti-Americanism to go with all of the other "anti-" categories in this main category? Frankly, I'm quite surprised that this category hasn't been created yet. --172.144.223.76 11:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Make a New Policy

I've been editing the anti-Americaism article--got sucked in and can't escape (!). Lately, I've been looking at some other anti-national sentiment articles. They all tend to push POV on political matters. The anti-Japanese article, for example, has a section on whaling protests, intepreting the oppostion as racism against Japanese. Meanwhile, the anti-Americanism article cites a protest against a US military base, in the wake of Marines raping a child, as an example of anti-Americanism. All of this is interpreting and labelling the views of others, on political matters, and isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia.

Proposal: anti- articles should only be about people who self-declare as anti-. There are people who describe themselves as anti-American. There can be a neutral article about them and what they believe. Everything else--anti-Mexican sentiment (the article dismisses immigration concerns as prejudice against Mexicans....), anti-Americanism, etc--is just POV pushing, often, often about living people and other ethnicities.

Here's what I wonder: Is it possible to have a policy about this, or is Misplaced Pages too de-centralized for something like that? Life.temp (talk) 01:56, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

This would be more appropriate at WP:VPP, and gets tons more attention there. You might want to move it there when you get the chance. Equazcion •✗/C • 10:20, 12 Apr 2008 (UTC)
