Talk:North Korean abductions of Japanese citizens

message: Now, "Eight Is Enough" has been the subject of hoaxes before, including the Might Magazine hoax claiming that an actor had O.D.'d when he was actually alive. With this in mind, along with the bizarre nature of this story, I went looking and couldn't find a single newspaper article about Susan Richardson's alleged kidnapping claim. If it's true, that would be amazing...74.73.74.241 21:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Source for Susan Richardson "Eight Is Enough" claim? 

message: The focus on the fact that Pyongyang changed the date seems to be almost implying that they're lying, which would certainly seem to be the case, but this article uses the word "corrected" instead of "changed" in a manner that implies that March '94 is the "actual" date. Should we not correct something here so that the wording is more NPOV? elvenscout742 21:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. How about "Allegedly died March 13, 1994 in North Korea [Pyongyang had originally announced the date as 1993]"? Or is there a better way to word this, perhaps? - Tangotango 02:53, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We also need to get the information straight regarding the DNA tests. They are not mentioned in the intro; then they are later determined as false; then later they are called inconclusive. Can someone with an excellent grasp of the incident please fix this?

thread_title:  Megumi Yokota's "suicide"... 

message: I have to say that this article is very neutral and doesn't take evil north koreans to task enough to be honest.  The neutrality dispute label on the article needs to be removed and I suspect it was only put there in the first place by North Korean spies to discredit an article that exposes their crimes.  If I am wrong about that, please someone, show me where the article could possible not be neutral.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.127.251.137 (talk) 01:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "On November 2, 2005, the United Kingdom led 45 countries, including the European Union, the United States and Japan, in submitting a proposal condemning North Korea to the United Nations"
