Talk:2006 Iraqi beating by British soldiers video

message: I'm not questioning that this event happened, but that the name of this article does not accurately describe the topic.  In the links provided, it talks about a video and teenagers (not children). And the quotes are cherry picked. -Aude (talk | contribs) 17:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I was looking for other Iraq-related articles that are specifically about videos, but no luck.  In Beheading_video, the article talks generally about a number of incidents and each specific incident/video does not have its own article.  I think the same principle should apply here.  Rather than having its own article, I think this incident should be discussed as part of the Human rights in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq or Iraq prison abuse scandal articles. -Aude (talk | contribs) 17:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The event/video was broadcasted by media all over the world, only that makes it notable, no matter the content. --Striver 21:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  In the UK it was aired on BBC, ITV, Channels 4 & 5 and Sky News. No idea about anywhere else.PhilipPage 21:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Even if it were; beatings of palestinian teenagers are aired all the time. Do we have an article for "April 12, 2004 beating of palestinian teenager"? How about "December 15 Forest fire in National Park" These individual events are not significant on their own to warrant an article. --Mmx1 21:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Agree with Mmx1; also within the UK even discussing events which might become a case in either a civilian or military court can become contempt of court. I think a merge followed by a deletion of this would be the best way forward. PhilipPage 22:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Other events of British and American troops violating Iraqi and Human rights include the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. The White phosphorus use in Iraq and the Al Askari Mosque bombing are other events that are alldegedly abuses from American and British soldiers.
The Rajiva quote gives a wider context to the issue, it is relevant to the topic. --Striver 15:27, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not sure how linking British troops to Abu Ghraib or Al Askari is NPOV, being both in areas under US administration. The use of WP hasn't been prosecuted so it's jumping the gun a fraction. PhilipPage 21:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources

message: I think linking the article to other human rights abuses in Iraq (proven or speculative) should be restricted to those with a direct and obvious connection, and to those which have been connected by significant commentators. Therefore I do see a direct connection with the Abu Ghraib pictures, because both concerned the publication of images of human rights abuses actually happening. I see no connection with the White Phosphorus usage. With regard to the mosque bombing, is there a source who claims it was a response to, or connected with, the release of the video? If there is, then mention it and link them. If not, keep the link out of the article. David | Talk 15:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There is an article Human rights in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq. That should be the merge target. Objections? --Mmx1 16:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, although consideration should be given towards avoiding a possible contempt of court. PhilipPage 22:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
