Reverse course[edit]

I wasn't sure whether to list this here or on cleanup. But as is, the article seems a trifle superficial and with a name that is not exactly unique. So far, it is only linked to in one article. Perhaps there is much more that could be said about this subject and it might be a worthwhile article, but right now it doesn't seem particularly helpful. olderwiser 19:41, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Clean-up. Certianly a valid concept worthy of an article, just needs more links (Both in and out) and a lot more detail. --Golbez 21:17, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: Also, it could probably use a name change. Reverse course (Japan) or something along those lines.
    • Concur- the events & policy were notable, and deserve an entry, since they had some significant geopolitical consequences; the article needs rewritten, though, and a more relevant title. -FZ 23:45, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: The concept of the change in post-war aid to Japan is well and good, but "Reverse Course?" Only Kenan? Only cold war? Huh? I don't see what in this article is so worthy, except that the author probably knew some of what he or she was talking about. He or she did not, however, contextualize it and did not locate it at the right name space. Geogre 00:37, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Clean-Up. The "reverse course" in the American occupation is a well-known term to describe the change in the American policies in Japan. You will find the term used and explained in any textbook of modern Japanese history worth its salt. If I get time I might provide a better entry for this article, but at present I am too busy to give it the necessary attention. --Tom Stratton 22:27, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)
