Talk:Ashfield gang rapes

message: "The four MxK brothers are the children of a Sydney GP of Pakistani origin"
The GP link goes to a disambiguation page, and it isn't clear what page the GP is referring to. Yuletide 08:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: One of the victims, Cassie Hamim, is of an Arab/Muslim background, so I'm changing the "European descent" line. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.31.21.138 (talk • contribs) .
I have editted out the ethnicity of the K brothers as it has nothing to do with the issue.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zohab (talk • contribs) 08:40, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Does the supression order apply to Wikipedia? It seems a bit inane given that their full names are readily available to anybody with the ability to search the internet. Also, is it reasonable to include the full name of a 13 year old girl that they raped but still protect their anonimity?
Actually, the Paul Sheehnan book GIRLS LIKE YOU delkves heavily into the ASHFIELD GANG RAPES and its related crimes, and reveals the names of all those involved (with the exception of supressing the surname of the K Brothers). 
I own the book but don't have it with me for current reference. I'll rewrite the article to include the names when I have it.
:I removed the names per Wikipedia:BLP#Privacy_of_names. The names were not widely disseminated. --Apoc2400 (talk) 22:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that editors of this article should also be aware that Australia has some Court suppression laws that have extra-jurisdictional effect, so apply to everyone. The offence is committed if the publication is available in Australia, even if the publisher is not. So the answer to the question: "Does the suppression order apply to Wikipedia?" is "Yes", since Wikipedia can be read in Australia. See . This is in addition to any Wikipedia policies.  - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:52, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

message: The one reference cited doesn't support the statements in this section, which are misleading. Unless references can be found which support the allegations made about a clash of cultures, the reprimand of the judge to the rapists lawyers, etc. this section will need to be edited to accurately reflect the reference provided.Eyedubya 23:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does this article have a WikiProject Biography banner? This article is about a series of crimes, not a person. The scope of WikiProject Biography says it "... includes only articles about individual persons ..." or if "... a substantial section of the article is a biography of a person related to that organization or group ..." The names of many of the individuals connected with these crimes are suppressed by Court Orders, or perhaps even the statutory law of Australia, so even mentioning those names is likely to be a criminal offence for Wikipedia in Australia. Since names cannot be mentioned, I don't think biographies can be written. Also, I think WP:BLP1E or WP:LOWPROFILE also apply. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:40, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
