Talk:LGBT rights in Georgia (country)

Constant reverts
Someone needs to tell Africatanz - who has a history of selfish, unexplained reverts- that how he insists on formulating paragraphs on this article is not encyclopaedic. It is a copy and paste work that reads very choppy and wikipedia is not a collection of copied information. Some information can be inferred from the sources, with occasional quotes and direct references if they are significant enough.

Additionally, you don't get to dump a bunch of sources at the END of the paragraph just so that you can claim you're following the guidelines. Take care to include them at the end of main points in relevant places. Moreover, everything I have included is supported by sources, yet he insists on incorporating articles of questionable credibility from Interfax and I have a suspicion that he does this to gloss over the scale of violence that took place.

Finally, thousands of demonstrators have taken part in these tensions and according to the citations, at least 28 people were seriously injured. In these circumstances, it is WP:UNDUE to mention one or the other specific instance of no particular significance, which makes it appear as if injuries were a rare exception, rather than a trend.--Libgeo (talk) 17:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * You are clearly not a new editor. What are your other accounts? A few days ago, you created a single pupose account that's being used solely to make edits to this article that are unsourced and represet an unbalanced, alarmist, biased viewpoint about the incident in Georgia. You cite sources and then blatantly and intentionally misrepresent what the sources actually said. You defend this violation of one of Wikipedia's most important policies by claiming that every editor must "infer" facts from the sources to make the article read well. That fictional obligation also violates Wikipedia policy. AfricaTanz (talk) 21:52, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * The account Rightsgeo, as you can guess from its unusually similar name, is mine. I lost the password and opened a new account to continue editing this neglected article.


 * As for my "alarmist" articles, you must pardon me but if you had been here, seen what happened, and actually read the reliable articles I'm referencing, you would know that there is plenty to be alarmed about. You are intentionally downplaying the massive scale of developments by mentioning very individual examples, as if these were isolated instances.


 * Finally, there is no wikipedia policy against inferring something from the rest of the article on WP or outside. For example, if an article/source lists amount of precipitation in a particular town for years and lets say, year 2013 has the highest number of all recorded, I have all right to write that the 2013 had an unprecedented amount of precipitation. Similarly, if previous documented LGBT demonstrations in Georgia involved only dozens of people and minor scuffles, but the 2013 one involved thousands and 28 serious physical injuries, I have all right to claim that the event was unprecedented, as confirmed by my new sources. If violence of much greater magnitude unfolds in the future, then that violence will be regarded as unprecedented. --Libgeo (talk) 23:50, 19 May 2013 (UTC)


 * When you get the time, study the following: WP:SYN, WP:AGF, WP:Civil, and WP:INTEGRITY, among others. AfricaTanz (talk) 03:27, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

What ban?
These sentences appear in the article without an explanation of what they are referring to:

"After a month of public consultation, 2016 proposals will be considered in Parliament. Public meetings on the ban are scheduled from mid-March until April 15 in various cities throughout the country.[6]

The proposal would then require three hearings on two different sessions with at least a three-month interval in between them. For the ban to be successful, a minimum of three-fourths of Parliament, or 113 of the 150 MPs, must vote in favor.[7]"

What "ban" is being discussed here? 121.73.7.84 (talk) 00:25, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Legality in Soviet Georgia pre-1933
I remember reading, that for some reason in Georgian SSR, Armenian SSR and the Central Asian republics male homosexuality was always illegal under the Soviet rule, i.e. even when it was perfectly legal in the RSFSR. It's a minor detail, but is worth clarifying.Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 22:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, that's the case .Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 22:52, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
