[edit] Shanghai Massacre?

I was under the impression that scholars still referred to the April 12 Incident as the "Shanghai Massacre". Why is there no mention of this usage in the article at all? Oh, right, I need to be brave... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.105.32.88 (talk) 14:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Language

The English of this article needs further improving... AnonMoos 10:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I did a complete rewrite, trying to preserve the content, as much as I could understand. - Ryanjo 03:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re-naming

I propose to re-name this article from April 12 incident to Shanghai massacre of 1927. The latter term is now most commonly used in Google searches (Google News Archive) for the incident, and is more descriptive. However, I have a concern that it is discouraged by Wikipedia established norms, in the use of "massacre" (see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (events), Conventions section, #2). Of course, a disambiguation page would re-direct a search for the old title April 12 incident correctly. Please comment -- Ryanjo (talk) 16:15, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
