List of alleged al-Qaeda members (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - invalid information is being added by IP 85.92.186.68 (talk · contribs) . After I removed the name after it appeared on the article for 20 days, it was readded within 30 minutes by a similiar IP to who added it the first time. Then, after remaining on the article for about 20 hours, it was removed by someone else but was readded 4 minutes later. I have removed it again, but the IP has been warned (final BLP2 warn after the second installment) and has continued. I'm concerned that the IP can/knows how to change their IP so semi-protection may be appropriate. This is related to OTRS [1]. I think the IP should be blocked, but the page should remain monitored. The name being added is a living person who isn't notable and doesn't have an article. Justification for semi-protection is this article is ripe for abuse for cases like this. Installment of any name on this list that isn't factual (let alone there is only 1 source on the list that I haven't checked out for fear of the FBI) could cause major problems, especially for a notable person (could you imagine a B-list celebrity on the list that goes under the radar for months? anyone really famous that's added would likely be quickly removed). Further, this may be deleted. Is being an "al-Queda member" notable? Perhaps, but do we need a list of them? Not really IMHO, but that's a matter for another time. MECU≈talk 13:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Someone involved in BLP might want to keep an eye on this one. I ran into Mudede at a conference this weekend, and he told me that there have in the past been nasty and untrue things about him in his article, especially efforts to tie him to Robert Mugabe (whom he does not by any means support). He said that in the past, not really knowing any proper procedures to approach this, he has come in himself and removed some of this stuff; as a journalist, he fully understands that was not the best way to do things. It would be much better if someone neutral would work on getting the article properly sourced; I don't think anything in it right now is particularly bad (though it might be inaccurate). Also, when you are done, someone might want to approach him (charles AT thestranger DOT com) and ask him to review for inaccuracies (for that matter, he also might give someone a lead on aspects of his life that aren't yet adequately covered) and probably explain to him how he can get an RSS feed so that he can keep an eye on it himself. (Also, someone might want to suggest that he take an account so that it is clear which edits are his.) - Jmabel | Talk 20:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Cho Seung-hui (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - This is a bit of a mess at the moment with frequent attempts to include irrelevant details about his parents and sister. I don't see any reason why the names of any of these people or their addresses or even their place of work is relevant. Perhaps mention of their job and what city they live in but anything else seems gratiotious. Some contributors are defending these on the premise that the media have already revealed these but BLP requires additional considerations IMHO. Nil Einne 09:07, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

This may still be below the threshold of immediate action necessary, but perhaps some experience editors can watchlist this page. single purpose account User:Liam Patrick is busily expanding the "Jewish Controversy" section and I'm not clear whether the stuff should be copy-edited, shortened or deleted. --Pjacobi 19:18, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
I am having difficulties with the biography of Robert_Sungenis. User:Liam Patrick especially, appears to be biased and is trying to use the bio to accuse Sungenis of anti-semitism. User:Otheus is trying to mediate, but it is a slow process. The problem is there are no reliable third party sources to establish the fact. The main source is a biased blog created by some of Robert Sungenis ex-employees. They state their bias and agenda. The other sources are related to this one (except perhaps one, but ultimately it can alsoe be shown to be related). I have propsed a means by which the editors can use Robert Sungenis own words to indicate that he has been accused of anti-semitism, and of course that he denies it (which gets stated in either case). To me this removes the issue of using inappropriate sources per BLP (biased, agenda driven, partisan, blogs, etc). I would appreciate anyone coming over and taking a look for yourself.Start at the bottom of the talk page and work up, because it gets much too long.

See Jim Lampley#Recent developments. He seems to have been arrested on a number of charges - and pled guilty. But the article seems to imply (at least at times because there's an edit war here) that he was convicted. But he may only have been technically convicted of something much less than the charges. There seems to be some sort of POV pusher here. I'd received OTRS complaints, but now that someone has posted to my talk page I can put the info here and get more eyes in it: "Did you know that, in addition to his sportscasting duties, Lampley is an outspoken liberal commentator? That the judge was the daughter of a GOP kingpin, Gerry Parsky? Of course, domestic violence charges are a serious matter and need to be investigated thoroughly; however, the investigation show there was no evidence of the allegations in this case. Even Mr Lampley's former wife, Bree Walker publicy stated that he was not capable of the charges that Ms Sanders brought. That the apartment the complaining party was living in was not hers, it was his....although all news accounts say it was hers. That the DA dismissed the case and investigation due to lack of evidence. That the only thing Lampley was guilty of was 'coming within 100 yards of his own apartment' by having a meeting with his property manager. If you'd like to contact his attorney for the facts, his name is Thomas Warwick in San Diego. Perhaps he can provide the court papers and what the facts showed re: the no contest plea. Mr Lampley could not factually dispute that he was technically within 100 yards of his own apartment the day he was meeting with his property manager. The investigators, on the property to interview the complaining party, noticed Mr Lampley leaving the mgr's office and arrested him at that time. The complaining party also was driving Mr Lampley's BMW until the proceedings concluded. We live in a litigious society and anyone can charge another party with a variety of claims. Your treatment of highlighting the charges and not of the ultimate disposition is not totally fair, despite whatever take you get from the media. The print media in San Diego is definitely skewed right. The north county of San Diego is generally a very conservative climate, where the charges were brought and where the court was located. There is much more to this story than the sensational headlines." Can someone check the sources and make sure that the article a) reflects the facts b) doesn't give undue weight to dismissed allegations/investigation.--Docg 19:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC) |

In fact it definitely does not mean that legally and factually. He does not understand this and has reverted a minimum number of changes that I have made simply removing the word "false" from the statements. I have no dog in this fight and only care that we don't have potentially libelous statements on Wikipedia.

Ongoing court cases (January 2007 Birmingham Raid)
I would be grateful for advice on how Wikipedia deals with claims of criminal activity which have not been proven or alleged in a court of law. The article 31 January 2007 Birmingham raid contains biographical information about a number of men, including Basiru Gassama, Amjad Mahmood, Pervaiz (Parviz) Khan, Zahoor Iqbal, Hamid Elasmar and Mohammed Irfan. It states that Gassama has been charged with “failing to disclose information” and that the others have been charged with “supplying terrorists”. As far as I can tell, those statements are correct and properly sourced. The article also contains a number of other statements about the men, such as “they were suspected of planning to kidnap a Muslim British soldier, torture him . . . and behead him.” A section of the article focusing on “the plot” contains similar claims in more detail. These statements are properly sourced, with references to newspaper articles in which anonymous sources make these statements. However, the claims have not been made by any named police spokesman, security spokesman or prosecutor. They have NOT been made in a court of law. This is NOT a court case in which the men are accused of doing these things and deny it. The trial has not begun. Police have released no details of what the men are accused of (other than “failure to disclose information” and “supplying terrorists”). Prosecutors have not accused these men of anything at all, so far. This is not a dispute with editors, as although I have made some comments on the article’s talk page I have also bought the issue straight here. If there is an issue with this, perhaps it should simply be cut out of the article immediately (I think it should). I hope it is also obvious why I have not simply done it myself – the claims are sourced, and maybe I am worrying about nothing. I am hoping people with more knowledge of Wikipedia policies (and possibly the English legal system and issues surrounding contempt of court) might take a look. Thanks.

The information that Pascal Duquenne actually suffers from Down syndrome is repeatedly added to his biography page and my corrections are reverted, my question on the discussion page remains unanswered. I explored the sources and found no trustworthy information that would prove this statement: from two sources one does not mention him at all and the second one, where he listed as a person with Down Syndrome, is just a compilation of the "readers' opinions", rather than any official page. Since it is not clearly proved by sources, I would avoid putting this information into the bio article. Alaudo 21:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
There has been some edit warring over this. There is no good reason not to seek English language citations and to work toward consensus in a reasonable way, here and on Talk:Pascal Duquenne, rather than repeatedly adding questioned material with edit summaries such as "RV VANDALISM" and "I'm afraid it's only you who did not want to have reference in more language". — Athaenara 08:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC) Postscript: Compare Chris Burke (actor). — Athaenara 08:11, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to remove libelous material about me at this site over and over because it keeps getting reposted.

Potvin said that he had "substantial letters" in both magazines and he considered that work because it was work for him to write them.--you can obviously see where this person is coming from. I explained why "letters" are articles in peer review academic journals, and that these two magazine's letters sections are like those. I have removed the libel material more than 12 times or so.

In the article on David Miscavige, who is the president of the Church of Scientology, information on his brother and sisters has been added. I removed it twice only to have it quickly put back. To me it seems that knowing about his brother and sisters is not important for any understanding of him. On the other hand it seems like having them mentioned on WP could be a privacy problem for them if they don't want to get involved in the controversy about their brother. Thanks.

Has been classified under the category antisemitism for being accused of antisemitism, a charge which he denies. The accusations are sourced but the inclusion in the category is dematory, and I've just had a 24 hour ban for a 3R vio for removing the category. The counter-argument offered is that the category includes groups and individuals notable for opposing antisemitism, however the reason for including Atzmon is that he's accused of antisemitism, a charge which he denies [11]. In my view it would be like putting an accused paedophile in a paedophilia category. It's contentious and defamatory and Atzmon's alive, so surely BLP is applicable? And (without wanting to sound whingey) is it OK that I get a 24 hour ban [12](on my block log) for a good faith BLP revert?FelixFelix talk 17:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Interesting. Category:Anti-Semitic_people was deleted over a month ago as a violation of WP:OCAT and WP:NPOV, so adding specific people to this category (Category:Antisemitism) is just doing an end-around of the aforementioned CfD. Despite Isarig's protests to the contrary, being put into this category certainly would reflect negatively upon the person. Tarc 20:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Non-neutral edits by the three userIPs above are a BLP concern and seem also to be pertinent to this category controversy. — Athaenara 04:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC) |

Scott Bloch (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Scott Bloch is currently at the center of a minor political event with regard to charges the President acted illegally. Google his name and you will see what I mean. Now read our article on him. Now note that a contributor named "Queerudite" has filled our article on him with queer issues.

I have been watching the talk page for this person (a contentious subject due to an alleged misdemeanour of his, which he is in court for at the moment), and today some eight or nine entries were briefly on the talk page before being wiped. Now there is no trace of them in the history section even, so I cannot check up on what was written. Why has this happened? Is it usual to delete material even from the history section? Who authorises it? Why? Surely Wikipedia is not censored? Podder8 14:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I've removed a small bit of unsourced BLP stuff twice and have been reverted. Article also has some slight POV problems, but my main concern is the list of members which is not sourced. --- RockMFR 03:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Huseyincan Celil (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) KazakhPol (talk · contribs) has been adding been adding inappropriate and possibly libelous information to the lead. His source is a third-hand reference, a partisan paper which quotes a partisan group claiming he was on Interpol's "Red List." I was thinking of blocking as per this, but I think it would be better to bring this up here first. Khoikhoi 03:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
