I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names
[edit]I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.
People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.
And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.
Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.
Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

removal of information
[edit]The introduction had this passage that i have removed for the following reasons: 1) The introduction of this passage does not make clear the real source for the text. 2) It is based on a questionable redacted primary source. 3) The introduction to this text presents the information as "brief biography" what i do not see as given. 4) The text includes allegation that needs multiply sources for verification. 5) The introduction to this text states that the source asserted: (all Uighur) "they where all caught at an "ETIM training camp". I do not see that a given in this reference. It may be the interpretation of the WP editor. I have strong concerns to present this in the way it has been done here. Please discuss.

- 1) If the introduction does not make something clear, fix it! :)
- 2) I'm unsure how the tribunal proceedings of the US military can be dubbed "questionable", we qualify all the statements explaining they're American allegations.
- 3) I re-loaded the 78-page document to which you are referring, the biography is absolutely present. Your failure to find it reminds of your failure last week to notice there were two pages to a cited document - and your subsequent attempt to remove sourced information from the article. Read things more closely before assuming sources are lying.
- 4) The text does not require multiple sources, it has a valid, reliable source which is reporting on itself. We are not using the military source to cite facts about the prisoner, we are using the military source to cite facts about the military's claims.
- 5) See #3. Your failure to read sources carefully is not cause to delete sourced information.
- Reverted your removal of information, do not act again without consensus. Sherurcij (speaker for the dead) 03:41, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sherurcij you are edit warring! And you are acting against the consensus of the whole Wikipedia community!
- You have re-inserted controversial negative material into this BLP of a living person.
- You have done this against the fact that the editor who has removed it has stated his BLP concerns clearly in the edit history and talk page.
- You have not waited until consensus would have been achieved for re-inclusion.
- Your edit summary and the five points you list here as your response to my concerns are mostly wrong. The material is controversial and problematic and i am willing to discuss this in an orderly manner.
- I have checked the article, sources and your comment again carefully. I still have strong concerns.
- It is strong consensus on Wikipedia to remove and not to re-insert material that has been marked as possible problematic by other editors.
- I ask you in a friendly way to end your edit war and to remove this controversial negative material from this BLP article now until things for re-inclusion and way of presentation has been discussed and solved. IQinn (talk) 07:58, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
