The use of the term "invasion" in this piece is highly contentious and should be reviewed. The common usage definition of invasion would require that a sovereign power had made formal declarations of hostilities against another sovereign nation. There is no evidence of this declaration ever occurring. The implausible list of source citations suggests that this page has been doctored to misrepresent the actual information which is used in the content. The citations have no direct relationship drawn to any of the texts, which makes it difficult to use at best, and a suspected "academic" fabrication dressed up as schlarship at worst. If the 40 sources are to be included, then they should be directly linked to assertions contained in the body of the six sentences comprising the article. ˜˜˜˜
Sources
editThere are currently over 40 sources in the bibliography compared to only 6 sentences of prose in the article. While it is great that multiple references are used, this does seem excessive. Does it need to be trimmed down or were all 40+ sources really used to create such a small article? --Jameboy (talk) 06:34, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
