[edit] comments
Should a new section, "Related", be added to the template? This could include e.g. Assyrian Genocide and Pontian Greek Genocide, since the context, the timeframe and the parties involved in those events are roughly the same as the Armenian Genocide.

- Someone has decided to remove all instances of this template from the relevant articles, claiming it is "highly disputed"? I can't see any disputes here... yandman 08:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't think the template per se is objectionable. Its more the fact that a large template has been splashed over several generalist historical articles, namely those included in the "responsible parties" section. This makes it look as if the sole historical relevance of these articles is to the Armenian genocide, which is incorrect. Also some of these articles (Ahmed Djemal, İsmail Enver) contain little text about the genocide, which jars with the large template. IMO, this template should only be placed in articles that are primarily concerned with the Armenian genocide. After all, the Template:The Holocaust hasn't been placed in every article about prominent nazis.
