Talk:Bloody Thursday (Bahrain)

Comment on images
There are two image related issues here.

1. I don't think that the gallery adds to the article to sufficiently meet WP:Galleries. If it is kept, it needs to be trimmed and the images need to be given captions.

2. The images of the deceased people are unnecessarily graphic. You can get the point across without using most of them, and the last one especially. I'll also note that some of the images come from http://bahrain.viewbook.com/, which while claiming a CC-BY-3.0 release, hosts a number of images that have watermarks to various other sources, and a few images that are scans from older photographs. In short, I wouldn't use anything from http://bahrain.viewbook.com/.

 * Thanks for taking time to point out weak points in the article before any review has taken place :)


 * 1. I admit this is the first time I read WP:Galleries and I agree it doesn't add much to the article. Would it be better to link to commons using or using the current one found in "Gallery" section?


 * 2. Yes, the images are graphic, especially the last as you pointed. I think they should be kept, since they show the 'bloody' part of this event, but they should be hidden and only viewed when clicked on (perhaps you could show me how to do that?).


 * 3. Most of images taken from http://bahrain.viewbook.com/ are exclusive to that website and contain full image details with high resolution. However as you pointed a number of them have watermarks.


 * a. Pictures with watermarks which say "Lewa'a alnasr" are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, the photographer only posts them in Bahrain Online forum. I have contacted him and taken permission in private and also asked him to provide the permission in the topic as he did in the previous link. If it's necessarily, he promised to provide specific images without watermarks if asked. You can check this search result for more of his images.


 * b. Pictures with watermarks which say "www.wattani.in" are technically released into the public domain, because the owner of the website closed it in February/March 2011 out of fear and released all copyrights.


 * However, this doesn't mean I won't take down specific images if you find that they specifically have copyright violations.  Bahraini Activist  Talk to me 09:26, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

last revert
I couldn't insert edit summary due to clicking "Enter" by mistake. It was because reference spoke about 70 persons missing and army forces carried machine guns.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  22:39, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Medics trails
I think that Bahrain health worker trials is closely related to this article, however I couldn't decide where should this be mentioned. I just figured that keeping it in "See also" would be fine. Other suggestions are welcome.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  21:30, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
