Needs to be more neutral. Also needs to explain why the British couldn't deal with the Japanese onslaught despite numerical superiority - ie. bicycle infantry, etc. For the tone I've put up a "cleanup" page. Will plan to modify it heavily. -- Natalinasmpf 23:03, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- A more precise template for this objection would be {{POV}}, not cleanup. Since I've read bafflement (Wikipedia Talk:Cleanup#Why not fix it?) at how this objection could be accommodated, toning down words like "desperately", "devastating", "dangerously", "ill fated" and "unfortunately" would help, as all these words imply that the invasion was a very bad thing. But I'm not convinced that Wikipedia:Neutral point of view is really violated by saying that a very bad thing was a very bad thing. Tojo would disagree, but I think most Japanese today would write the article about the same way it's written now. So I think this article is covered by Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Undue weight, and I think making it "more neutral" would interfere with the need "to explain why the British couldn't deal with the Japanese onslaught".
