Talk:Internment of Italian Americans

message: The original stub sentence contained the claim that "hundreds of thousands of citizens of Italian descent" were interned. With all due respect, my research did not substantiate the severity of that claim. I have no axe to grind and tried to write as NPOV and honest an account as I could. The article certainly needs work, especially the lead--and probably elsewhere. I welcome all comments and help. Jeffmatt 07:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I found one source listing "about 1600 Italian-Americans were arrested, 250 (all Italian citizens) were interned in military camps for up to two years, another 250 were excluded, that is, ordered to move out of designated military zones, and 600,000 were forced to submit to curfews and other restrictions on their freedom."

text: In 2001 the U.S. Attorney General provided a comprehensive report on the wartime restrictions on those classified as enemy aliens of Italian descent, including the numbers affected. I will add a section that provides these numbers along with a brief overview of report itself. Please forgive and feel free to correct any errors in formatting.Christaltips (talk) 19:33, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Numbers

message: JCDenton2052 has improperly categorized this as a "War crime", notwithstanding the fact that it does not match the guidelines for the related topic.  Looks like excessive POV-editing, which is not helped by his frequent edits of user pages accusing other editors of vandalism. Tedickey (talk) 18:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Improperly categorized

message: "Defined in terms of national origin, it was the largest community in the United States, having been supplied by a steady flow of immigrants from Italy between the 1880s and 1930."
Americans of German, Irish, and English heritage have always been more numerous than Italian Americans. If this statement is supposed apply to the number of naturalized immigrants from the country of Italy during the 1940s compared to the number of immigrants from other countries living during the 1940s, which very well could be the case, it isn't very clear. --98.114.176.218 (talk) 02:53, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: What does this mean?

message: There should be a clear statement of the numbers (Italian US citizens and foreign citizens) provided in the article. Both articles for the German and Japanese articles make these numbers clear. I would also suggest that such statements should be found in the lede as the numbers are probably fairly high on what people are interested in when they come to each of these articles. Would it also make sense to have the numbers in the infobox (we have then when, but not the how many). — al-Shimoni (talk) 13:11, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Docile words in the article when discussing extermination camps in which thousands of italians, germans and japaneses dissappeared during World War 2.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.178.44.111 (talk) 02:40, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
