Talk:Anti-spanking

April 2009
The section on "Notable personalities" does not belong here. It is WP:BLP material which is unsourced and conjectural, at best. Without verifiable sources, that entire section violates WP:GRAPEVINE. I've also removed a section entitled "Individuals believed to be anti-spanking" which is blatantly against the same rules. Wikipedia doesn't use "believed to be" especially with no sourcing. Believed by whom? The sections should not be returned without proper sources which verifiably state that such persons have a particular stance on thyis subject. It is best to avoid materials stating something about a person's beliefs one way or another without lots of evidence and reliable sources. Age Happens (talk) 06:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

The sections on "Crime rates" and "Research" are also without any citations and are full of weasel words. They should probably be removed, but for now I'll just tag them. Age Happens (talk) 07:01, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Canada laws
Somebody keeps vandalizing the article, by writing that corporal punishment is illegal in various Canadian provincies (UNTRUE and unsourced claims). This has been going on for several months. It is an IP adress who keeps changing the article. If this countinues, I believe that the aritcle needs to be protected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.121.10.70 (talk) 22:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
A proposal to merge this article with Spanking is on the talk page of the latter. Please read the discussion there and comment if you have a view. Thanks, Alarics (talk) 10:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * As it is turning out, most of the stuff here belongs in Corporal punishment in the home and I am gradually moving it there. Some other stuff relating to anti-spanking movements is being moved to Campaigns against corporal punishment. Alarics (talk) 20:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
