Talk:Salma Yaqoob

message: Isn't the toronto picture  better then this naff mug shot? The mug shot shows us what she looks like, but the Toronto pic' does that and shows her campaining. Also what is the copyright status of both the images?--JK the unwise 12:15, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I donno, why not? For me it adds a great deal, putting her in a much more likeable light. Frankly, she looks way better in the pic you took (I am assuming you took it?) than the other, despite the difference in professionalism. Sam Spade  11:44, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Better picture

message: Did this take place in Sana'a, Republic of Yemen, or Amman, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan?  Needs correcting -- Amman is definitely NOT the capital of Yemen.  BTW, "...during Christmas in Yemen..." is confusing, since Christmas is not celebrated or even noticed in Yemen.  Better to say "late December" and provide a year. --RandallC 11:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Her local community 

message: Someone keeps adding a PDF to the article as evidence of extreme views. However, the article comes from a filesharing website, there is no indication it comes from the magazine it is claimed it is sourced from, and the author's name does not even match Salma Yaqoob's. If she can be shown to be the author of the article, by all means, add it. Otherwise, it's extremely poorly sourced, libellous content. Please do not re-add it until its incorporation can be justified on the discussion page. 90.219.33.76 (talk) 22:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Libellous repeat addition to the page 

message: A lot of the information on this entry is poorly sourced. I'm sure some of it can be verified using reliable sources but much of it doesn't seem to have any corresponding evidence anywhere and might be deliberate vandalism. I'll have a look to see if I can fix up somne of the erroneous claims and put some genuine sources where applicable. 94.0.107.216 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 23:37, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations and sources

message: According to the Sunday Mercury's list of candidates, Salma Yaqoob is standing for the "Respect - Unity Coalition". Does anyone know a better source for what will be on the ballot paper? Will it say "Respect" or "Respect Unity Coalition" or "RESPECT"? Only a minor point but good to get it right.

thread_title:  Respect vs Respect Unity Coalition 

message: There are only 250 people a year appearing on Question Time, and it's a prestigious debate programme. 5 Appearances on this since 2006 seems notable, so I have included them here. Can anyone fill in more about the topics discussed? 
The Guardian article is an obvious candidate for inclusion as it is long and solely focussed on the subject of the page.

thread_title:  Notable Media Appearances 

message: The information that Salma Yaqoob is standing in the forthcoming parliamentary elections was missing. Is there some Wiki-rule I'm not aware of which explains why this was missing? Or was it just an oversight?

message: Her actions have been hugely controversial, added info with several national newspaper references.87.114.229.119 (talk) 21:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: An editor removed an earlier amendment for the same reason - that it's already covered. I don't think quoting several political opponents is appropriate - that gets into extremely clear NPOV issues. The positions of both sides are stated as it stands, and could perhaps be expanded, but previous amendments haven't been NPOV.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marty jar (talk • contribs) 22:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

text: As above - unless you form a reasonable and logical justification for any expansion, there's currently no way of avoiding the massive NPOV issues. You're quoting entirely partisan political opponents at great length, and not the reply, which is unacceptable. You're quoting poor sources, and all of this is an addition to a section which already represents the POV you're expressing. Marty jar (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

text: I changed that as it's an unnecessarily unwieldy title. Two separate short sections may be more appropriate. Marty jar (talk) 12:51, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

text: I mentioned above that I removed the Activism and Controversy title as it was unwieldy. The Controversy section is rather high up the page, but a better solution. The Activism section may need to be bumped up at some point. Marty jar (talk) 20:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

text: I removed the BBC source because it was used to substantiate the addition of the word "deliberate" to the description of Yaqoob's actions as "disrespectful", though the source cited did not use either of these terns. Nor did it describe this incident as a controversy, the other term it was used to justify. I have no objection to addition of the source itself, but I certainly object to its misleading use.
