Talk:Legislative violence

message: Why was this changed to "legislative brawling"? I thought "Legislator Smackdown" was much funnier.

thread_title:  What about... 

message: There were two main justifications for removing the large volume of information:
* The section had been tagged for references for over 4 months and none were forthcoming. A large number of entries were not sourced and some appeared to contain allegations and rumors rather than verifiable fact. Also elements of original research, "Legislative violence in Taiwan has, according to some, been reduced to a political show used by legislators as a ploy to gain media coverage and votes amongst constituents."
* The section clearly violated WP:NPOV which dictates against giving undue weight to an issue or side of an issue (in this case Taiwan compared to other countries). Many of the cases were relatively minor incidents that just fit within the definition (someone throwing food at another or pushing a chair over) and a number seemed to be geared towards discrediting the democratic nature of Taiwanese politics rather than providing encyclopedic coverage of the phenomenon (guidelines also state that examples should only be used to illustrate a point rather than constituting the bulk of an article).
I'm fairly confident that my bold actions will have the support of the wikipedia community. 58.164.33.106 12:08, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Please note there are other incidents, particularly in the 1800's, which are missing from this article. One such incident as I recall, entailed the maiming of a northern congressman by several southern congressmen. There are other incidents as well. All of these are actually Wikipedia articles I have come across, so if someone does a search, hopefully they will find them... Stevenmitchell (talk) 00:17, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm unclear on the encyclopedic value of all the examples, and am concerned about BLP issues with having them. I think we should have clear inclusion criteria to avoid NOT, BLP, OR, and POV problems. --Ronz (talk) 14:44, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Remove list of examples?

message: Almost the entire article is just a list of legislative violence in countries around the world. I propose moving this page to List of legislative violence, so that the title matches the content. LK (talk) 03:13, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  External link 

message: I tagged the lead section as having extra information. See MOS:LEAD for purpose of the lead. It provides an accessible overview to the whole article. Information in the lead should be in the body of the article too. See WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. The reason I have tagged this lead section as needing clean-up is that general statements in the lead section are not supported by a general background section in the body of the article. Without a background section, with citations and analysis or commentary, it is not clear if legislative violence is a notable phenomenon of itself, or even if this is the correct name and definition, or even if it exists as a specific phenomenon that is not simply a spillover from wider social or cultural behaviours. Otherwise this article just becomes a loose collection of news reports of politician physically fighting each other. Wikipedia is not a news website, nor should it just be a news cutting service that collects news stories on related themes; it needs to provide additional analysis or commentary about the collection of examples listed, and answer questions that readers might have. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
