This article is the subject of an arbitration ruling. It is expected that editors abide by the letter and spirit of that ruling. Those editors who violate the ruling, but are unaware of it, will be informed of the details before any sanctions are invoked. |

WARNING: ACTIVE ARBITRATION REMEDIES
The article Rachel Corrie, along with other articles relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, as laid out during a 2008 Arbitration case, and supplemented by community consensus in November 2010. The current restrictions are:
- All articles related to the Arab-Israeli conflict broadly construed are under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24 hour period). When in doubt, assume it is related.
- Certain edits may be reverted without penalty. These include edits made by anonymous IP editors, and edits which are clearly vandalism.
- Editors who otherwise violate this 1RR restriction may be blocked without warning by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offence.
- After being warned, any editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process may be blocked up to one year, topic-banned, further revert-restricted, or otherwise restricted from editing.
- Reports of editors violating any of these restrictions should be made to either the Arbitration enforcement or Edit warring noticeboards.
If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert! |
[edit] Policies
(Please do not archive. New editors are asked to read this section carefully before editing.)
Because this is a contentious article, all edits should conform strictly not only to WP:NPOV, but also to the policies and guidelines regarding sources: WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:RS. Jointly these say:
- Articles may not contain any unpublished theories, data, statements, concepts, arguments, analyses, or ideas.
- The above may be published in Wikipedia only if already published by a reliable source.
- A "source" refers to the publication Wikipedia obtained the material from (e.g. The New York Times). It does not refer to the original source of the material (i.e. wherever The New York Times obtained the information from).
- A "reliable source" in the context of Rachel Corrie means:
- articles in mainstream newspapers, books that are not self-published, scholarly papers, official reports, trial transcripts, congressional reports or transcripts, and similar;
- no personal websites, blogs, or other self-published material unless the website or blog was Corrie's own, in which case it may be used with caution, so long as the material is notable, is not unduly self-aggrandizing, and is not contradicted by reliable third-party sources;
- no highly biased political websites unless there is clearly some editorial oversight or fact-checking process.
[edit] spirit of rachel corrie
The text added to this article on the ship "Spirit of Rachel Corrie" is inappropriate. For an encyclopedia article about Corrie, a blow-by-blow account of the ship's activities is excessive and unnecessary. Second, the account presented here is a primary source - text messages from the ship - with no secondary sources putting the messages in context. As an encyclopedia, we can't use a primary source account without secondary sources that interpret that secondary source. Please see Wikipedia:No original research.

- I had already previously removed that content as it has nothing to do with the article subject, except the tenuous one of the vessel being named Rachel Corrie. At most there may be a reference to a vessel bearing her name being apprehended by Israeli and Egyptian naval ships while attempting to deliver aid, but only when there are sufficient RS.

[edit] Delete per BLP1E
I move this article be deleted per BLP1E. Failing that, I move that this article be retitled the Death of Rachel Corrie. She is notable for her death, not anything else. 65.96.60.92 (talk) 20:47, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
[edit] POV throughout.
Throughout the article, there is a constant rehashing of two controversial claims as fact: 1) That the bulldozer's were demolishing houses. 2) That Corrie was killed by the bulldozer rather than by falling debris. The official Israeli investigation (the only thorough investigation carried out) claimed that both of these were false. Therefore these should not be stated as fact but rather as disputed opinion.

- I've rewritten the opening paragraph to more accurately reflect the differing opinions. Wikieditorpro (talk) 15:20, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Israeli Army Spokeswoman
In a French film by the Israeli-French filmmaker Simone Bitton of 2008 an Israeli Army spokeswoman claimed that Rachel Corrie had no direct contact with the bulldozer. She was right, according to all eyewitnesses from both sides. It can also be rightly claimed that Hitler never personally poured any cyclone gas into any of the gas chambers at Auschwitz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ontologix (talk • contribs) 22:37, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
