===Sexual Assaults===
I was watching some of the footage of the concert today, and in the background saw a girl's top being lifted up against her will, and I remembered that that was an unfortunate part of the day.  The video screens began asking girls to flash the cameras, and a lot of mostly males started ripping shirts off any girl unfortunate enough to get selected by the cameras.  I realise the heading is a little dramatic and the paragraph seems out of proportion, but I feel that it needs to be mentioned.  No other  news sources seem to remember these events, and I doubt the WAVEAID DVD has a bonus gallery with pictures of the unlucky punters.
about a third of the girls where happy enough to flash, and about two thirds definitely didn't want their breasts on show for friends, family and total strangers.
Feel free to edit the entry to fit in better with the article, but please leave it in, I feel it needs to be recorded somewhere.

replies: text: I do not recall a single female member of the audience having her shirt lifted other than on her own accord. As I remember the event, every person who was on the big screen had a huge smile on their face. Hardly the behavior of someone who was just sexually assaulted. Furthermore, a third, two thirds, where are you getting these numbers from, and where is the citation for these alleged "sexual assaults"? As is my understanding of Wikipedias verifiability guidelines, I will be removing these uncited claims. My apologies in advance if I have misinterpreted.150.101.112.253 12:03, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Sexual Assaults

message: Hi, I've looked at the links and would advise they don't comply with WP:RS and in this context, the section has been removed. If you want to reintroduce this section could you find a reliably published secondary reference. Thanks, Addhoc 14:36, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I spent some time and found some quotes that met WP guidelines, and I have added them, and Addhoc agreed that they did.  The article was up for discussion here Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-10-06_WaveAid and there was no comments from anyone. SO, can people please NOT change the article regarding the screens unless they have a new and good reason to do so.  thanks.  rakkar 00:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think the link to WaveAid at the bottom (http://www.waveaid.com.au/) is correct. That web site is some sort of new age ocean living site; not likely to be related to the Tsunami concert. Worth checking anyway Rhyolitewiki (talk) 01:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
