Talk:Mehdi Ghezali

thread_title:  Radical 

message: Mehdi Ghezali was the subject of an hour long documentary.
The documentary film-makers were Swedish, IIRC, but it was filmed in English
It included interviews with Janice Karpinski, among others.
Ghezali's interview came late in the film, and was brief.  I am not a mental health professional.  He seemed to still be in shock from his treatment in US captivity, and deeply depressed.  He appeared after one of the British former captives talked him into it.
Anyhow, mention of this film belongs in the article.

message: The early life section seemed to have a lot of unreferenced statements.
I found some of them backed up by a reference from late in the section.  I moved that reference to the top.
But some statements seem to remain unreferenced.
I had to work from google translation of .  If this is just a swedish blogger, then it is not a WP:RS.
Maybe I will go ask at the swedish equivalent of the village pump as to whether they consider it a WP:RS.

message: In spite of crazy allegations from Netanyahu, this guy is a Sunni Muslim, not a Shia, most likely affiliated with al-Qaeda, hence his travels in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and capture in Guantanamo. This needs to be noted, if sources bring it up, of course. FunkMonk (talk) 16:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone was very reckless with the  reference templates in this article.
Some people like to put  templates with each field on a separate line.  Other people like to put the entire template on  single line.
I think it is important to keep our hands off references created in the style we don't like -- unless they are actually broke -- as it makes the revision history misleading.  It makes it look like the article had extensive changes to the article's content -- when they didn't change the content at all.
I added half or more of the references to this article, and some bright spark decided to change them all to the all on one line style.  Normally, I would just be grumpy about this.  But somewhere along the line that individual, or someone else, screwed up all the webcitation archive URLs.  Webcitation.org offers a short URL and a long URL to the archived version of a web page.
The last 16 characters of those archive URLs are always date=yyyy-mm-dd -- where yyyy-mm-dd are always the date the page was archived.  Someone decided to change all date fields in all the templates in the article, and to put them in English.  They recklessly changed these fields as well, changing the date into English -- which, of course broke all those URLs.
Those archive URLs were a lot of work, and it is extremely aggravating to see them being recklessly broken.
So I moved all the article's references.  Geo Swan (talk) 11:57, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
