Using the term "internment" is incorrect and not at all appropriate given that it is not the language used by those affected by it and entities including the Associated Press have now stated as much (as noted in the article). Wikipedia should align with other sources in utilizing the correct nomenclature to describe the historical incarceration of Japanese Americans in concentration camps.

text: Agree. "Internment" is technically incorrect when applied to the full target population, and incarceration is becoming preferred usage over internment in contemporary print and electronic media. Eventually this article's name will change and reflect that trend.—Myasuda (talk) 03:23, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi , I agree that the lead for this article is sub-optimal and could use a rewrite, so thank you for volunteering to tackle it. Regarding your comment about information repeated in the body of the article, this is by design. Per the Wikipedia Manual of Style (MOS:LEAD), the lead is supposed to summarize the body. And since the lead repeats information from the article, it does not need citations (MOS:CITELEAD). Also, I read your draft. Your draft only discusses the legal orders that started and ended the internment. It omits a lot of topics discussed at length within the article: the domestic support/opposition of the internment among the public and military officials, the conditions and life within the camps, aftermath and reparations, terminology debate, and so on. The lead should summarize and give appropriate weight to these components. TarkusABtalk/contrib 05:57, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Asian American History

message: Pretty basic question, I was going through some of the article specific into the lead up to internment and i was interested in a quote and the source provided was unhelpful.
My specific question for the quote specifically under the support and opposition title
"White American farmers admitted that their self-interest required the removal of the Japanese."
I am looking for the source as the provided on does not link to anything rather simply names a source and when I tried to find the quote i was unable to.
Thanks to whoever can help me, doing some research for a paper and want to be able to fully source this quote if accurate Wintuck2556 (talk) 02:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: It looks like the wording was taken from the first full paragraph on page 2307 of the Taslitz paper which can be accessed at the link here.—Myasuda (talk) 03:38, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
