I couldn't find any problems with neutrality. Maybe instead of using words like "Legendary" use phrases more along the lines of "most influential." Other than that, writing is good, definitely needs citations! I can see that you reference sources in your writing but there isn't proper citation. Interesting stuff!

I added a little bit to the Atrocity Propaganda section of your article. You should really focus on getting more subheadings, the content in your headings is amazing, so work on adding more subheadings and information! Great article! ArjunChawla175 (talk) 00:21, 23 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the above sentiments. Definitely break your work up a little bit. I added to the Wellington House bit at the bottom of the page, that might need it's own subheading. The content is really good, though. We'll probably be putting pictures in this week that'll definitely help your page out. --SlhannonUMASS (talk) 23:16, 26 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've created new section #Self-justification and assigning blame. In particular, in writing that section, I've discovered the notion of "Color books" and expanded it into the subsection #Color books. As "Color books" predate WW I by a couple of centuries, a full treatment of it is not really appropriate here in an article about WWI propaganda; in addition, it's grown so much that there is probably too much material there compared to the rest of the content (WP:DUEWEIGHT issue). Since there is easily sufficient significant coverage and reliable sources to make it a Notable topic on its own, I'll probably be expanding it into its own article soon, as article Color books, and I'll just leave a summary of it here.

External propaganda to other countries[clarify] was an integral part of the diplomatic history of World War I and was designed to build support for the cause or to undermine support for the enemy.
What does this mean? Is it propaganda generated in one country, and aimed at residents or government in other countries? Aimed domestically, regarding other countries? Something else? Rjensen, it looks like this was your edit from quite a while back. I can take a pretty good guess at how you meant that, but I'd rather not mind-read you; can you reword it to make the meaning clear? By the way, as long as you're here: please have a look at section #Color books, above. I learned a lot doing that research, and plan to spawn a new article, soon.

I revised the text and cited Nicholas John Cull, Selling war: the British propaganda campaign against American "neutrality" in World War II (Oxford UP, 1996). Rjensen (talk) 06:34, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the reword, Rjensen; that's clear, now. Otoh, are you sure you meant to reference the Cull book? If so, what page? I had a look at the Table of Contents, the Index, the intro (p. 1-4), and did several searches, and other than passing mentions on page 4 (intro) and page 9 (chap. 1) I found virtually nothing about World War I. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:24, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Good point. I revised the topic, moved it into "Use as weapon" section, and added good quotes. Rjensen (talk) 09:51, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
