Talk:Yahya Jammeh

message: 1st Vice Chairman of the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC) is Sanna Bairo Sabally (not FD Sabali as written by Wikipedia)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 102.140.129.74 (talk) 22:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

message: I have added the  tag to this page for the following reasons:
1. He is the president of a country.
2. He is featured on the front page.
I am going to delete the comment about the supposed evidence for his AIDS cure to work, since there is no source for that affirmation, instead, quite the opposite.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.248.59.166 (talk) 02:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Anon, the amount of information is in proportion to that of the other chapters. Wikipedia is a "work in progress" and extensions are usually welcome. gidonb (talk) 05:10, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion

message: I've heard it said that when Jammeh rose to power at age 29, he became the world's youngest political leader - and still may well be the youngest. I think if true it would be a notable point of interest for inclusion, but I can't find any source for it. Anyone know any better? Annatto (talk) 16:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Youngest World Leader

message: So, what's the deal with all these awards? Kentucky colonel, for instance? Should the awards be verified any further? I mean, what the heck is this?

replies: text: The gentleman has used these awards, and there are sources for it. It seems relevant biographical material to me.46.115.51.106 (talk) 19:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awards and Honors of a dubious nature 

message: I know I'm meant to assume good faith, but there is a pretty blatantly fraudulent use of a citation in the Women's rights section of this article. The second point reads:
According to a 2012 Associated Press article, "Yahya Jammeh...has made progress on issues such as women's rights."
Notice the ellipsis? If you check this Yahoo carried version of the Associated Press article you will see that the context for the quote is "said that while Uganda has made progress on issues such as women's rights", this in an article that also mentions Yahya Jammeh in a completely separate part.
I suggest the whole section is removed, the only remaining point - having a Cabinet post for Women's Affairs - does not by itself show that any progress on Women's rights has been made. This appears to be completely original research.--90.199.141.189 (talk) 16:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "Completely original" only begins to describe it.--Quisqualis (talk) 01:45, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation misuse 

message: I removed this sentence which had a "citation needed" tag:
:  He received extensive military training in neighboring Senegal and at United States Army School of the Americas.
I checked his official CV: it makes no such claims, saying only that he was trained on the Military Police Officers Basic Course (MPOBC) at Port McClellan, Alabama. I didn't insert this detail into the text instead. It may be true, but it should be verified in an independent source: a report in Time implies that many awards claimed in that CV are fictional.

thread_title:  Training 

message: This is lacking basic biographical information - where was he born etc. Also - what's the stick? 81.187.223.119 (talk) 17:35, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have deduced that the stick is his "peace pipe".--Quisqualis (talk) 01:47, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biography 

message: Substituted at 11:00, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Al Jazeera reports that Jammeh conceded the election. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/12/ghana-akufo-addo-wins-presidential-election-161209172455364.html. Donner60 (talk) 23:38, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Concession

message: Many editors keep repeatedly reverting and show he is no longer is the President. However, we need sources for everything. And as far as what sources say, he has refused to step down from his office. Until he does, he cannot be shown as no longer in office. It can be shown as disputed. But as per sources he is still in office. And why doesn't anyone discuss instead of edit-warring? MonsterHunter32 (talk) 06:00, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
