Talk:Bedoon

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Bedoon (ethnicity). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
 * Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.dcaf.ch/content/download/33690/522597/version/1/file/ev_geneva_04071113_Alnajjar.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

Cheers.—cyberbot II  Talk to my owner :Online 23:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Greetings, this is Kyron Planetary Service. The al Najjar source was provided in a neocon militarisation context, cash for comment kind of thing, which is inappropriate for analysis of an ethnic group. The article is not available at the link (this page is neglected), but perhaps once it was... in any case, this analysis would have been political science constructivism, not a real comment about real people (I know the author personally). I appreciate the Bedoun are an ethnic group, but the information needs to fit the field. Sorry, I am unable to deconstruct """""{{{{)))) stuff at this time.

Contradictory text
To wit: "Although many Bidoon are genuinely stateless, there is no evidence that some Bidoon are foreign nationals hiding their true nationalities. Kuwait recently discovered the true nationalities of 6,000 Bedoon, most of whom were Saudi citizens."

The two clauses of the first sentence contradict each other; if there is no evidence any Bidoon are foreign nationals, and they're not citizens of the nation in which they reside, then they're _all_ stateless. And the second sentence contradicts the second clause of the first as well.

Can someone clear this up? Are these people stateless or not? And are there significant numbers of foreign nationals posing as Bidoon? Laodah 02:30, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Hiya, that should have done it. Let me know! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:58, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Greetings, this is Kyron Planetary Service, Q: Why would nationals of other states pretend to be a population that is currently around 1/3 of its size or smaller, as at 1985? The population reduction alone is indicative of genocide, regardless of the other human rights violations described. No, government has never disclosed any plausible evidence there is a collection of Bedouns of any size, who hold nationalities in other states. The Ministry of Interior's Central Apparatus enforces fraudulent nationality labels on the Bedoun, in an attempt to cover up the fact that the Bedoun are Kuwaiti Bedouins (formerly regarded as 'informal' citizens by the state prior to 1986). This occurs because the state is attempting to eradicate the group. I am an expert on the Bedoun. Now this page is less active with trolls, I am happy to assist you to correct the page. The group are stateless, indigenous Bedouins of the Kuwaiti northern tribes (who are "officially" politically recognized tribes). Their family members are Bedouin citizens of Kuwait.KyronPlanteryService (talk) 06:43, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Incomprehensible statement with seeming missing part.
At one point the article says "Documented Bidoon are at risk of persecution or breach of human rights;[11] undocumented Bidoon are." This seems like part of the sentence was deleted by someone in a haphazard way that didn't ensure the remaining part made sense without it. Rather, after making a statement about documented Bidoon, and it seems to then start to contrast that with undocumented ones but is then cut off mid sentence. Whatever one has to say about this subject, this sentence clearly should not be left as is.--108.86.122.209 (talk) 06:33, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Qatar
If you think that its not acceptable, how about this: You learn to explain why its not acceptable and point me in the right direction? Or you can find a better source. 175.103.25.37 (talk) 05:35, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * As an experienced user, I'm surprised User:CatcherStorm hasn't explained in edit summaries the reason for the deletion of your content, especially the sourced content about Qatar. CatcherStorm, you appear to be engaged in edit warring. Largoplazo (talk) 09:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I reverted these edits because the source provided made no mention of any official Qatari government statement that said "they will not help them out". The tone of that statement isn't neutral and is unsupported by the reference. I welcome the user to rephrase his edits. By the way, if you took around 2-3 minutes to check this user's block history and edit history, you would find that he was previously blocked for tendentious editing.  CatcherStorm    talk   09:51, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, that's fine, and I don't disagree about the tone, but I didn't know whether that was your reason, or part of it. Edit summaries are good things, at least by the second reversion. At least so the rest of us know what's going on. Largoplazo (talk) 09:57, 28 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't always use edit summaries as I tend to be lazy but I will try to do so more often in the future.  CatcherStorm    talk   13:23, 28 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh. So you are lazy? Perhaps if you left some helpful edit summaries, all this confusion could have been avoided. It doesn't take long to type edit summaries. You know, 2-3 minutes, just like you stated earlier., thank you for your help.175.103.25.37 (talk) 07:24, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * There was no need to be nasty, especially after CatcherStorm got the point. Read WP:CIVIL. Largoplazo (talk) 12:11, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
