"Illegal"

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm doubtful that "illegal" belongs in the first sentence of the lead in Wikivoice, particularly when the legality is phrased as an open question in the bottom of the lead, and we don't make definitive statements in the article body (c.f. WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY). There's a whole article on this exact sort of question. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

npov / rs review needed

current version makes assertion about the basis for NATO intervention without any sourcing. i believe the basis for NATO intervention is considered controversial, as the KLA engaged in more civilian bloodshed than the Serbs prior to NATO involvement, suggesting NATO was acting in interest of defending its own credibility rather than simply intervening to save civilian lives. at any rate, i think it would benefit from review WP:NPOV and additional citation.

uncited statement at beginning of article:

"NATO's intervention was prompted by Yugoslavia's bloodshed and ethnic cleansing of Albanians, which drove the Albanians into neighbouring countries and had the potential to destabilize the region." Mihir.pethe1 (talk) 01:47, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

i will circle back here in a few months and try to fix unless there are arguments to keep it the way it currently is. Mihir.pethe1 (talk) 01:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
