Talk:American propaganda during World War II

message: I've tagged this article as unbalanced, because it presents only one side of American WWII propaganda, which did not just consist of evil Germans attacking babies.  There were also postitive pieces, such as Rosie the Riveter.  The article also included tons of original research, unsourced statements and weasel words, though that's somewhat better now.--Gyrcompass 21:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Agree on merge. -- Hongooi 12:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with the above comment. It almost sounds sympathetic towards the Nazis and Japanese on top of it being poorly written. "This portrays the Germans and Japanese as evil and the Americans as angelic." - Thanks for the observation, random internet dude..? There's nothing scholarly at all in this article's text.

text: I am working on this a little bit at a time and it is rough. First, I'm just accepting that what is said is true. Second, many sentences in the same paragraph do not seem to bear much relation to each other. They do not flow. It is as if they were separate thoughts or sentences just cut and pasted together. At times I have no idea what the original author meant in some sentences. But I'll keep trying. And all I promise is that it will hopefully  read better. I am also having problems trying to understand what the text is trying to get across in some cases. Very confusing. As such, I'm taking this very slowly as the editing is painful.  Thomas R.

text: Okay, I have completed my rewriting of this article to make it more readable, but it still has major problems. I may go through the article creating more links to other WP articles, but that is all I will do. Hopefully, someone with a greater understanding of the topic than I have will resolve some of these problems. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 10:19, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Does the statement, "one squadron of B-17 bombers was entirely dedicated to this purpose." apply only to the European theater? And how does that agree with the statement that the Allies made such extensive use of planes for this purpose that the Germans were dismayed by Allied industry production?  One squadron is not a lot of planes. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 19:46, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Thanks to Jordanpres1 for working on the Animation section, but it has grown so large that it dominates the article. I suggest this section be spun off into another article and its content here reduced to its essentials and linked to a  new Use of animation in American World War II propaganda article. Thomas R.

message: There are two images identified in the captions as caricatures of Hirohito, but they seem to clearly be caricatures of Tojo - military uniform and thick round glasses. I'm going to change the captions, but this note is in case there are other sources that say otherwise. Fishal (talk) 15:02, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
