Talk:Lotfi Bin Ali

Identity / Inconsistent identification
Following up on this edit.

A similar section has been removed after a discussion on WP:BLPN so i am puzzled why this editor works against community consensus.

Sure the sections vary from article to article so ould you please explain.

1) What is the value of this section?

2) What is the topic of this section?

3) The source of this information is a redacted primary source that has been interpreted by the the Wikipedia editor himself who wrote the section. That's WP:OR and should be removed. Why should we make and exception from one of our core policies?

Thank you. IQinn (talk) 23:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't agree that you have consensus to support your position.


 * This is not WP:OR. I am extremely puzzled that you keep accusing me of lapsing from WP:OR, as several contributors have pointed out to you that this is not OR, this in not SYNTH.  As has been pointed out to you, many times, SYNTH is when a contributor cites a reference that asserts A, and another that asserts B, and then asserts or implies a new conclusion C, that is not referenced.  Citing references that assert A, and assert B, without asserting or implying a new conclusion C, is not a lapse from SYNTH, is not a lapse from OR.  I am going to repeat that several other contributors have explained this to you.  I am frankly extremely puzzled as to why you keep claiming documenting the sources of the name variants lapses from OR, after all these explanations that it does not.


 * You have not responded to my point that even when an individual is as well known as Joseph Stalin or Mark Twain we explicitly document those individuals other names. Geo Swan (talk) 12:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I have ask you three particular questions regarding the content issue regarding this article here. You did not answer any of the three questions that are relevant for the discussion here on this talk page. Please do, so that we can make some progress as i said above the sections vary from article to article. So if you think we need the section here in this article please answer my questions above. 15:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
