thread_title:  career gap ? 

message: When we put aside copyright issues, is it ethical for an encyclopedic project to publish a transcript of Jiah Khan's suicide note?? She addresses a (presumably) living person in it, and I don't think it is particularly sensitive and considerate - both to her and to the person she addresses. I'll post this also at WP:BLPN. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:19, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

text: We are not a tabloid newspaper, but an encyclopedia. I've removed it again. The note is available via external link. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 05:53, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: Hello. My request on the Jiah Khans wikipedia page is that , sources allwge that it was staged as suicide, but it wasnt a suicide. So , the cause of death being proclaimed as suicide can be confusing. The mother of Jiah Khan is still fighting thw case, and insists that it has been a murder that is staged as a suicide. Immediately listing thw cause the cause of death as suicide might be wrong, and i prefer that it might be changed to proclaimed as suicide but some sources say murder..something like that.

replies: text: I've redacted the note because it is potentially a copyright violation. I've also removed the content from the article because if India Today published the entire note, the only mention of rape or torture is "After all the pain, the rape, the abuse, the torture I have seen previously I didn't deserve this." That's highly ambiguous phrasing that could be an accusation that Pancholi committed these acts, or it could also be interpreted in other ways, including that Khan experienced these things "previously" or prior to her relationship with Pancholi. I don't know how anyone can say definitively that she was accusing Pancholi of rape and physical torture. Also, "torture" is vague. People often use the word as hyperbole, or to describe emotional turmoil. So again, it's not clear that she was describing physical torture, especially at the hands of Pancholi. And since it's potentially defamatory content, we have to be very careful about how we present this information. I'd only be comfortable including it if the wider Wikipedia community could come up with a way to present some form of that content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:24, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, there are two mentions of torture in Jiah Khan's letter as published by India Today. The one you cite from page 2 is preceded by this on page 1: "Yet you tortured me everyday." But that's nitpicking. What I'm curious about is the potential copyright violation. I haven't a clue about public domain in India. But it appears that after having been recovered from Jiah Khan's house following her death, the letter was included in a CBI charge sheet, which is where India Today got a copy. So who would be the copyright holder—the estate of Jiah Khan; the Central Bureau of Investigation; its parent Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions; the Government of India; or Living Media India Limited, publisher of India Today? Thank you. NedFausa (talk) 22:23, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it is nitpicking. I deliberately avoided clarifying that in my post because it wasn't relevant and would not have impacted the substance of my comment. As for copyright, I would imagine that the person who wrote the letter would be the copyright holder, in the way that the person who takes a photo is by default the copyright holder. However, I did not attend law school. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:28, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

text: re: this edit, you should be aware that this is considered edit-warring. When content you submit is reverted, your recourse is to seek consensus by opening a discussion on the matter. I detailed my rationale for removal above. Note also that potentially defamatory content must be removed and the careless way the content is written is potentially defamatory. This is not a trivial matter, and if you restore it without consensus to do so, this will be escalated to WP:BLPN and you may face sanctions as a result.

replies: text:  Alright, now that you've brought it up? Please tell me EXACTLY why is a reference being removed? The second thing was it was just a one-line mention that he used to TORTURE her, (have not copy-pasted anythiing either) So, please explain where's the issue. Abbasquadir (talk) 16:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I explained very clearly above what the problem is: potential defamation. And since you've again restored it, the matter is now at WP:BLPN. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:40, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suicide Note written by Jiah 

message: These four edits I have reverted.
#"Murder" is unfounded.
#"a six-page suicide note" was changed to "a six-page letter", which is clear POV forcing. The media called it a suicide note, and we write about what secondary sources say. 
#The back end of "Khan's mother, Rabia, independently hired British forensics expert Jason Payne-James, who concluded in a 20 September 2016 report that Khan's hanging was staged and the marks on her face and neck indicate it was not simply suicide" was changed to "Jiah Khan did not commit suicide". I can't find where in this source Payne-James concluded that she did not commit suicide. He offered observations and an opinion that Indian forensic examiners didn't consider other possibilities, such as a staged hanging, but I don't see where he definitively concluded that she did not commit suicide. I do see where Mumbai Mirror wrote "it's not a simple case of suicide".
#I'm having trouble understanding why the opinion of BJP MP Subramanian Swamy would be relevant here. Does he solve crimes? Was he in charge of the forensic teams? If the answer is no, then someone appears to be using his lofty political status to give undue weight to his personal opinion, perhaps in an effort to sway public opinion. Feels like POV force to me.

thread_title:  No spouse as soraj pancholi 

message: An IP changed her father's nationality from Indian American to Pakistani American. While it makes sense since her paternal aunts are Pakistani actors, it conflicts with the cited bollywoodhungama source (non-RS and an interview) which mentions "American Indian". Until we have a RS source, I'm changing it to simply American. Jay 💬 09:28, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
