Text of the Letter
where is the letter? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.125.73.24 (talk) 03:21, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Alfred Zola ?
What's this about "Alfred Zola" in the "Arguments" section, am I missing something? Wouldn't that be "Alfred Dreyfus"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.107.223 (talk) 06:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Needs "Examples" section
This article is missing a list of post-Dreyfus uses of the term. 76.231.191.217 (talk) 15:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- I tried, but all I could come up with was editorials. I would prefer that the examples be editorials which have been written about. 76.231.191.217 (talk) 16:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I feel like "J'accuse" has entered the general lexicon. There are surely many many more examples of people using the term (I can think of a few movies and TV shows off the top of my head), but attempting to mention them all seems kind of silly. I feel the article would be improved by dropping the "Examples" section all together and making it clear that the term has entered general use. Nsfreeman (talk) 14:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Missing reference
Regarding the item "In 2008, the term was used against the genocide in Darfur." given under Subsequent use…, the reference provided for this is:
<ref>[http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/editorial/outlook/5894017.html "World is correct to echo Zola on Darfur: 'J'accuse!'"] by Austin Bay in the ''[[Houston Chronicle]]'' on July 17, 2008 (Viewpoints, Outlook section).</ref>
That link no longer resolves. It appears only the abstract and comments remain at http://www.chron.com/disp/commnts.mpl/editorial/outlook/5894017.html. I think this is sufficient to illustrate the usage – the linked article content is not pertinent to the encyclopedic article, so I'm changing it.--Rfsmit (talk) 18:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
