Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of military controversies
this is an indiscriminate list (almost any military action will be by nature "controversial", as there are two sides of the tale at minimum), and connects things that are only loosely related to each other. By extension, it creates a |coatrack, perhaps you could say a coatrack in reverse, by placing things out of context adjacent to each other, which implies some kind of equivalence. The first example is perfect in showing the tendentious aspects of this list. Surely someone has looked back in history and found actions to be labeled "war crimes" by modern standards, but those standards (widely ignored even today) didn't even have the merest conception in their day. It's sort of bizarre to do this, and not encyclopedic
