Revision as of 19:31, 5 September 2008
Request for Comment: Description of Weathermen as "terrorists"
- In the past several months repeated disagreements and edit warring have arisen regarding whether Misplaced Pages should describe the Weathermen, and their various members, as "terrorists".
- Articles affected include:
- Weatherman (organization)
- Bernardine Dohrn
- Bill Ayers
- Barack Obama (and child articles)
- Obama–Ayers controversy
- (possibly others)
- Relevant issues include:
- Designating the Weathermen as "terrorists"
- Describing various acts as "terrorism"
- Identifying the organization with the word "terrorism" (e.g. in the lead, when the organization is introduced in other articles, etc)
- Covering, or noting, that the group is widely described as terrorist
- Covering, or noting, that some people have described them as terrorist or that there is disagreement as to the label
- Where to put the material - one article or many? In a section? In the lead? Footnotes? In BLPs?
- Applying terrorism-related categories to these articles
- Relevant policies, guidelines, and essays
- Issues specifically avoided:
- This is deliberately intended not to be a discussion of editing process or editor behavior
- Please keep discussion focused on the content question and not on other editors - if you have a complaint about another editor there are other forums. Should editing abuse become a problem on this page we should discuss that at some other page or a subsection here.
- Notification of involved parties:
- (will complete later - feel free to self-nominate or withdraw - Wikidemon (talk) 19:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
- Party1
- Party2
Statements from involved parties
- Best if we can keep these clean and reserve disagreements for the "discussion" section or for each editor's own statement - Wikidemon (talk) 19:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
