Talk:2006 Fijian coup d'état

message: Im okay with the renaming of the  article. But the situation is far too fluid to say that the coup HAS in fact taken place. The government still claims to be in control, and most of the country's powerful chiefs are still supporting it, at least publicly. I'd say there's a 99 percent chance that the coup WILL occur, but to say that it HAS occurred is premature. David Cannon 11:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wont make a fuss about it, but moving an article from somebody's user space without consulting the user seems very presumptuous to me.  In this case, i DO approve of the move, but i would have appreciated being asked first. David Cannon 11:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, sorry; I assumed you would be okay with it, but should have asked you first, my mistake. —Nightstallion (?) 15:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's okay - we all make rash judgements sometimes - I know I do:-)  BTW, Fiji's civil service said this morning that they are still following orders from the civilian government, and anticipate no change to that.  The country's two highest-ranked chiefs are also supporting the civilian government - and if I know anything about Fiji, governing the country without the cooperation of the chiefs would be easier said than done.  Therefore, it's still a coup plot at this stage, not a coup d'état.  I'll wait a few hours to see what happens.  If necessary, we'll have to rename the article again to "... Coup plot" - but that may or may not be needed.  For now, I'll correct a couple of details in the article.  Right now, the situation is extremely fluid. BTW, I've also got a huge number of "clips" from online news sources going back two months, which I will slowly go to and put into the article.  David Cannon 21:10, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would argue a coup is in process so it's not really just a plot anymore. If it fails, it will be a failed coup Nil Einne 04:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text:  Thanks for doing that!  I've been so overloaded with other commitments of late that I've been unable to do much about Wikipedia, apart from a few very superficial tasks, and I'm so pleased that you've put in the hard work.  As I said, I'll add extra details as and when I have the time - but you've made it so much easier for me now, as the framework is already there, thanks to you.

message: 2006 Fijian coup d'état plot is precipitous indeed, no coup has happened as far as i know.  Perhaps if you removed the last section and merged it with Escalation, and moved the entire article to something like "December 2006 Crisis" or something it would make a worthwile article. --Xorkl000 20:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the last section calling it a coup. I did so because the New Zealand Herald and several other news sources started calling it a coup or coup attempt, and because it appeared that the military had tried to arrest the Prime Minister. Since then many more checkpoints have been created by the military, but there has been no explicit attempt to seize power. I think it is a coup in slow motion, as many media sources have called it. If the situation continues to escalate, then I think most will agree that the events of the last 24 hours mark the beginning of the coup. If nothing much happens for a few days, then the section should be retitled. If you feel strongly about it, rename the last section yourself and I won't object.-gadfium 20:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Good call. I've been getting most of my information from the Radio New Zealand website, which appears pretty neutral, but we need to try and keep it encyclopedic (even as things happen). I've also added a little more to the background, but would appreciate others having a look at it and expanding or correcting as you see fit Mostlyharmless 23:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Fiji Live seems to be offering very comprehensive news at the moment, and not so much reflecting the NZ and Aus. Government positions, which is something we need to be aware of... Mostlyharmless 00:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd also support moving this to 2006 Fijian constitutional crisis for the meantime, as the president has dissolved the parliament, making it unclear that a coup is or will take place, although it is the strong view of a number of parties that this is in fact what is taking place.

thread_title: Coup?

message: I recently dramatically updated the introductory paragraph of the page (and bits of the rest).
Really, I don't think I have any authority to do this, as I am only a person in an office in Australia who happens to have been following as much news of this "political situation" as possible for the last few weeks. I've been getting most of my information during these few weeks (as my home page) from Fiji Live (as a digression I really want to include a piece on how the Fiji Live web-servers were over-run and effectively "down" on Monday morning and had to move partially to a mirror), Fiji Post and any academic journals I have access to. The odd bit of Australian trash mainstream media on the side also.
On reading this article on Tuesday 5th I had been disturbed by the direction the article was going, as discussed above with gratuitous use of the word "coup", etc, particularly seeing as I happen to agree with Fiji350 and Denis Nadi Fiji in that much of the media coming particularly from Australia and NZ has tended to be politically biased, and therefore less valuable as fact (even as stated by CNN for anyone looking for a reference to validate this statement - there is other evidence which I'm happy to provide on enquiry).
I'm an extremely fresh-faced (figuratively) bubby-wiki-user and at the moment am gripped by the fear of being horribly slammed. But I really would like to get more opinions on the situation. Elena the Quiet 02:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're doing pretty well actually, and an article like this, where things are changing constantly is often a good place to start - if you get things wrong someone will correct them pretty constantly. I agree that this article should better reflect the fact that Bainimarama enjoys the support of a large part of the population, the controversy surrounding Qarase's actions leading up to this, and the fact that NZ and Australia have had high levels of involvement in this, and strongly support Qarase. Unfortunately for the purposes of balance, the pro-Bainimarama side doesn't seem to have said as much (he didn't say all that much in his press conference last night), or don't seem to have the same access to the media. I've started to address some these, but have to go and do some other things and might come back tonight. Mostlyharmless 02:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd agree that it's a coup by now, even though the news sources mentioned above are politically biased - after all, even the Fiji Internet media appears to be calling it a coup right now, and media suspensions also make that rather clear.  —  Rickyrab | Talk 18:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Thank you for the kind words! I'm not at all precious about my the pronunciation of my name no hard feelings at all. I guess we'll all keep our eyes on the situation. Elena the Quiet 05:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Things are really heating up now... like right now 

message: I believe that given the recent events (BBC) that the word "attempt" should go from the title.  So I will remove it, if you have a problem with that, please revert it then place your reasoning here. --Midnighttonight yell at me to go do some uni work! 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I consider such tags to be "scare-quotes" on articles/sections so I'd prefer that they were removed ASAP. I don't see any ongoing POV concerns here so I've removed the tag. If there are, let's discuss and fix them. <<-armon->> 21:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed {npov-section} tag 

message: Have there been any? What I mean is information along the lines of:
* how long will they stay in power;
* what precisely they wish to accomplish with their coup;
* when the next elections can be expected to be held;
and so on. —Nightstallion (?) 21:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: a) as short as possible, according to Cmdr. Bainaimarama b) to rid the country of our present completely corrupt government, that provides nothing but lip service in the name of "democracy", to weed out perpretrators of the 2000 coup, to bring in a system that provides equally for all ethnicities, basically make Fiji "livable" for all. Could write much more but I think you get my drift c) it'll be a long time until they will even have the civil service under control, so maybe 2- 3 years in my point of view. Aggrevating to this is the reluctance of the Elections Office to work together with the military. Fiji350 22:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Any official statements we could include in the article? That's what I'd like to know first when I'm reading up a coup -- why, how long, and when are the next elections. —Nightstallion (?) 17:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demands and statements by the coup leaders 

message: The military has not occupied the premises of any media outlet. They have asked for "assistance" not to publish any utterances by former PM Quarase. In reaction to that the editor of The Fiji Times has decided to close shop, same goes for the News Room of Fiji One TV. I agree that this move is questionable, since it impedes on freedom of speech. Although one could see it as necessity in the moment for the country to keep its calm. Quarase is clinging to power no matter what and would use any path open to him to return, if it good or not. The rest is about right. No radio station has shut down, all are broadcasting a joint program on news. Apart from that it is business as usual. Please change the article in that respect. Fiji350 23:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently sources say otherwise. --NuclearZer0 13:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

text: You should try reading the content, its fully sourced. Thank you. --NuclearZer0 17:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

text: NuclearZero: Thank You for stating the obvious. Whilst "sources" can say what they like to, I am living here in Fiji, and no radio broadcaster has or had shut down, simple as that. It's the same as the constant emphasizing on "Fully Armed Soldiers", instead they might as well write "Soldiers with big sticks" since I have yet to see one soldier that has ammunition ready or loaded. It's all nice and good, but still, I say that the international media is doing a disgraceful job, pure sensationalism and not much merit or truth, as far as I have seen, literally. The only two sources that are half- way reliable are The Fiji Times and FijiLive, both of which run constant updates. No matter what is said in any foreign media outlet/ publication/ broadcast about the coup and its implications or the "Act of Terrorism", I have yet to speak to anybody that is wholeheartedly against the actions of the military. And TV broadcasters so far have only shown known SDL party members or supporters, so much for responsible reporting. I understand that the story sells better if you spice it up but it is going to far! The way the ongoings here are pictured are downright wrong. I've gotten phone calls from as far as Germany to ask about the situation and to express their worry. And here we sit, laughing. My view IS obviously biased, as I support the Commander, but I still support a neutral point of view, since that is the only way to make people understand what is happening. We are being shown up as if we would be the Solomon Islands.

thread_title:  Censorship 

message: Somewhat related to the points NightStallion raised above, a few issues regarding the background aren't clear. (I thought I'd asked this but must have forgotten).
*What were the precise demands that the government was supposed to meet
*Qarase made some attempts to meet the demands, what didn't he do?
*How many demands were the? The article says 19 in the intro and later on. But this source says 9 non negotiable http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200611/s1801433.htm The FijiLive source which is linked to from the second 19 demands sentence doesn't mention a number.  Nil Einne 20:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: One of the demands was for investigations into the Commander be dropped.  One of the investigations centred on allegations that he executed mutineers after they surrendered in the Queen Elizabeth Barracks mutiny back in 2000. David Cannon 21:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The 9 (and it was always only nine demands and they did not change) demands and the reaction by Quarase for government can be read here: http://www.fijilive.com/archive/showpdf.php?pdf=2006/12/govt/points_agreement.pdf . These are the official minutes of the meeting in Wellington. The Commander says that Quarase behaved like a politician and not like a honest man when responding. Fiji350 00:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just did a thorough read through and addition regarding the three bills and nine demands, though imho it doesn't read nor flow as well as it could, but given the complexity of the situation it's difficult to keep it simple -- Elena the Quiet 04:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Background 

message: The 2nd paragraph of the intro section details the historical context for the coup.  It is too long, in my opinion, and should be shortened down by about half. Patiwat 01:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not just now.  The article will soon need splitting up into a family of articles (like the 2000 coup) and things can be shortened then. David Cannon 01:44, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggest shortening intro section 

message: I failed this article as a good article candidate because it is definitely not a stable article. One of the criteria for GA status is stability, and seeing as this article details a current event, it is by no means stable. People have done some good work on this article, so maybe in a few months or after things have settled down we can review this again for GA status. Patiwat 01:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Failed GA Nomination 

message: Any neutrality in this article has disappeared with the inclusion of the part about "Middle Eastern Advisor"! I would like to dispute this part as it is even un-sourced! I have no idea how to put tags, but please take this as a formal complaint about the direction this, until now, very good article has taken. Fiji350 00:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those passages have been removed. Rmhermen 00:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Apologies for the "Middle Eastern Advisor" inclusion - I fear I was responding a bit too earnestly to the rumor mill in Fiji at work - soon we will be getting reports of 'submarines' off the southern coast as in the 2000 coup. I should have been far more cautious in posting that particular gem --Mesa248 03:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutral Point Of View

message: Can any Wikipedians in Fiji provide pictures for this article? I'm thinking of pictures of checkpoints, placards both pro and anti, and buildings such as the Police Tactical Response unit headquarters. Getting pictures of the people at the centre of events would be even better, but probably a lot more difficult. Don't put yourself at risk in trying to get a picture.-gadfium 01:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture request

message: Frank Bainimarama is a brilliamnt man who is all but trying to create distabilty for Fiji(the Australian biased media says so), and is merely, as he says,"trying to clean up Fiji".He is trying to diminish all corruptuion in Fijian Politics, and an important move was to remove Laisenia Qarase who had been involved with George Speight, and had only been elected due to the vunrebility of the Fijian people following the 2000 coup, in which Mahendra Chaudry was illegally removed(under duress.)Bainmarama is attempting to remake Fiji into a better country, a fairer country.And if something illegal has to be done to create democracy and fairness of all races in Fiji-then so be it!!
Kumarnator 02:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is my understanding that Qarase was, in fact, installed as PM by Bainimarama and his Interim Military Government in 2000 - not being involved with the Speight side of the 2000 conflict. Rmhermen 02:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Maybe somebody should finish the article preliminary. Much has happened since the last entry. It would be great if the article could be kept up to date, in view of fairness to Fiji. Fiji350 21:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've got a huge clipbook of info. about this coup and will expand the article accordingly.  I don't think we'll be able to say that the article is "finished", however, until the military hands power back to a civilian government. David Cannon 00:22, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, i guess you are right there. But it wasn't actually meant that way, but I think you know that. The whole issue is getting more and more intriguing with every day. Now it is being found that the deposed Quarase- led govt was in fact illegal itself, and some hard evidence seems to be coming up. Albeit it is too early to include any of this in the article. I think I missed to say Thank You for a job well done so far, David. It is about time that you get over here and have alook for yourself. Fiji350 01:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you, too!  Yes, I'm longing to come to Fiji as soon as I can get the chance! David Cannon 10:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Finishing of Article 

message: It was with very mixed feelings that I reverted John C.'s edits today, as I personally agreed wholeheartedly with the views he expressed.  However, our Neutral Point of View policy, as well as our Verifiability policy, forbid speculation, however "obvious" it may be.  To me, as well as to John C., it is glaringly obvious that the President was manipulated into endorsing the coup - but that cannot be empirically verified, as I've seen the video (via the Fiji Television website) of the President's address, loudly declaring that the coup was "necessary" and that he would have done the same thing had his fellow-chiefs not prevented him.  Wikipedia is not a crystal ball or a place for speculation, however well-founded it may appear. 
One thing does need correcting.  Fiji has had four coups - but only three of them were military.  The 2000 coup was a civilian coup - the military action was a counter-coup.
I assure all that I did not revert these edits lightly - I hesitated for a day, knowing that the author is a lawyer and I'm not.  David Cannon 11:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I just completed a full-article revision that attempted to fix some of the issues that I noticed with this article:
* It seems like many sentences had been added piecemeal while these events were ongoing. I've attempted to fix anachronistic grammar and consolidate these passages into a coherent summary of events. I did my best not to remove important information or lose important nuances, however, I am not an expert in Fijian politics. If you are, I would be grateful if you would review my revisions and fix my inevitable misinterpretations.
* The introduction lacked a decent summary of the article's content. I've done my best to add one.
* The ordering of the sections was haphazard and at times repetitive. I've reordered, renamed, and combined sections in a way that makes more sense to me, but if you disagree, let's talk!
* The background section was woefully incomplete; I've pulled in material from related articles that hopefully gives a better summary of the context.
In general, it seems like this article lacks a neutral point of view. I've fixed most the most egregious language problems, but the deeper problem is that this article does not do a balanced job of explaining the perspectives of different groups in Fijian politics. For example, Indo-Fijian perspectives are conspicuously absent. Because I'm not an expert on this topic I've had to leave most things as-is, but hopefully someone with more expertise (or time) would be able to improve this article a lot by reviewing sources from different perspectives to ensure both are duly represented and that the record of facts reflects a consensus.
