I changed "sources" to "further reading". Sources seem to imply, we used this sources for the article. For this short article, it was once MUCH bigger, hardly a source was needed. --Crusader (talk) 21:57, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Disagreement

I do not agree with the changes you have made to this page. World War II is agreed universally by everyone everywhere to have begun on 1st (or 3rd) September 1939 when Britain and France declared war on Germany thus widening the local German-Poland conflict. The war in Asia was an entirely separate conflict between the Japanese Empire and China. You can only bring that into the world war after Japan entered the wider conflict, not before. I do not agree that WWII began when the Jews declared war on Germany. That is ridiculous and makes Metapedia a laughing stock. If you are going to make statements like this you need very credible sources. Matt58 (talk) 16:45, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I agree with the points you have made here. If one wanted to think outside of Poland then the start of the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s could easily be argued the start of WWII, which ofcourae it was not. NatAll75 (talk) 17:35, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

This is the version of 23 May 2015‎, there was a much larger version 2007. I am also sure, it needs (a lot of) working on. I personally see the 3 September 1939 as the begin of WWII, before the declarations of war against Germany it was a regional conflict. --Crusader (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Then we seem to be agreed. As time permits I will try and tidy this up. Matt58 (talk) 16:11, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I have examined the earlier 2007 version. I think it is far too long. I also think this article is probably far too long also. It is not remotely possible to include all of WWII on a Metapedia page. It would mean condensing maybe a thousand books. It seems to me we should scrub the details and reduce it to an accurate summary of events. Matt58 (talk) 17:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Actually, I like the size, but maybe some topics could be outsourced into an own article? --Crusader (talk) 19:52, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
