Dead link for reference[edit]

The Global March pdf is a dead link. The sentence on girl soldiers isn't clear so I wanted to verify the correct information at the original source, but I'm not able to. Does anyone have the pdf or another source on those numbers? —Zujine|talk 14:13, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If it fails verification, it should simply be removed in my opinion along with the information that is being sourced by it. Anything that does not have verification should not be here. Mar4d (talk) 14:21, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 11 April 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved. There really hasn't been any discussion of new names for these articles, and the discussion has gone stale. --BDD (talk) 18:50, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

– I am not sure what to do with this lot and parallel articles and, in consideration of options, I would advise reference to this listing of pages beginning "Human rights ..." A lot of pages begin "Human rights in .." including such pages as Human rights in ISIL-controlled territory. Part of me says that it is not in Wikipedia's remit to declare abuse and violation but then again some of the pages contain extremely notable cited evidence. Please look at actual article content. There could also be a call to call a spade a spade. Greg Kaye 13:29, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Greg, I'm not seeing the problem with the current titles....sure, some of them need better sourcing and better prose, but that is hardly an issue with the names. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:36, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merging[edit]

@GregKaye:, what about merging all Northeast Indian state's human rights issues in Human rights issues in Northeast India? There are only two states in this list, Assam and Manipur, both articles says same things like in Human rights issues in Northeast India, both articles are short. --Human3015 16:55, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vanamonde93 Human3015. My only thought here is that some articles present ".. abuses ..", some present ".. violations .." (possibly a better term?), some merely present "Human rights in..". There doesn't seem to me any great rhyme or reason for any cut off. I am unsure about "Human rights abuses in the Vietnamese cashew industry" particularly in relation to other articles. Here there is shocking exploitation of workers but there is ethnic cleansing in, for instance, Iraq and Syria. Maybe other articles need to be categorised in similar ways.

Any merge that will increase article usefulness and inter article navigability sounds good. Greg Kaye 17:05, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanamonde93 and GregKaye:, here I'm only talking about topic related to Human rights abuses in Northeast India. Two states have separate articles Human rights abuses in Manipur, Human rights abuses in Assam and both of these states are in Northeast India which itself has article Human rights issues in Northeast India. All of them talk about same things like Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 and insurgency. Individual articles are short. We can merge it. I'm new, I don't know how to merge, I added template of merging. What is the next procedure? --Human3015 17:25, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Human3015 There are links re: merging in the opening text of WP:RM. gl Greg Kaye 18:11, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not well versed in the Northeast India articles; I was drawn here by the Chile article, which is on my watchlist. I dislike the word "issue" in the title, because it is rather weaselly, and "violations" is IMO much better than "abuses" (If you think about it, nobody can abuse my rights, only I can do so....) I have no opinions as to the merger. Vanamonde93 (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that violations is more specific, quantifiable and manageable than abuses. I was surprised to find that, all in all, I think Ngrams supports the terminology "Human rights violations ..." Greg Kaye 06:22, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
