[edit]The following phrase was tagged as "verfication failed" or "not in citation given": "The practice of 'corrective rape' is widespread in South Africa". I note the following quotes from the source in question that could collectively be used as support for the statement:
- "Her brutal murder took place last April, and since then a tide of violence against lesbians in South Africa has continued to rise. Human rights campaigners say it is characterised by what they call 'corrective rape' committed by men behind the guise of trying to 'cure' lesbians of their sexual orientation."
- "The Guardian talked to lesbians in townships in Johannesburg and Cape Town who said they were being deliberately targeted for rape and that the threat of violence had become an everyday ordeal."
- "Research released last year by Triangle, a leading South African gay rights organisation, revealed that a staggering 86% of black lesbians from the Western Cape said they lived in fear of sexual assault. The group says it is dealing with up to 10 new cases of 'corrective rape' every week."
- "A statement released by South Africa's national prosecuting authority said: 'While hate crimes – especially of a sexual nature – are rife, it is not something that the South African government has prioritised as a specific project.'"
It seems pretty solid to me. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Only the first passage you cite mentions the "corrective rapes". An in our article, the statement should be attributed to those who really said that (unidentified human rights campaigners) and not stated as a fact. --Damiens.rf 13:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- What about the third one? "The group says it is dealing with up to 10 new cases of 'corrective rape' every week." That would make it widespread. Rather than adding a "verification failed" tag, it seems all is necessary is adding the phrase, "According to gay-rights activists ...". Personally, I don't understand the tendency to tag rather than simply fix it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
