Talk:Rasul Kudayev

Fair use rationale for Image:Rasul Kudaev.jpg
Image:Rasul Kudaev.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Mistake in the article?
The last sentence in the article says he now works under a pseudonym as a freelance journalist. I wondered where I read that before.

I could not load the Moscow Times article where this is supposed to be from, but I got hold a the Yahoo Group version:.

I quote:

"Vakhitov, 30, was flown out of Guantanamo in February 2004 after the United States declared him no longer a threat. He returned to Tatarstan, where he says he has been repeatedly harassed, detained and intimidated by Russian security agencies.

He now works as a freelance journalist, translator and editor, writing under a pseudonym so as not to raise the ire of authorities."

So, this last sentence is about Vakhitov, not Kudayev. There is no mention of what Kudayev is doing now. This is obviously a misunderstanding, so I am deleting that last sentence.--Paul Pieniezny (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

explanation
I reverted this excision for several reasons.

First, I believe the good faith contributor has misunderstood WP:VER. We can't be concerned when material does not seem credible to us, when that material is verifiable from authoritative WP:RS.

Second, the edit summary claims: However one of the NYTimes article said, and still says: ''Kudayev, Rasul -- Feb. 27, 2004 -- Russia -- Suspected.

 * That's wrong. There is no misunderstanding of WP:VER. I have removed the information here because the cited source does not unambiguously support the information as it is presented in the article.
 * The article says: "Pentagon claim he had "returned to the fight" This is not unambiguously supported by the NYT's sources or any other source. It should be removed under WP:BOP, WP:GRAPEVINE, WP:NPF. Iqinn (talk) 04:57, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Further explanation (from WP:NPF):


 * That means the section needs multiple, highly reliable sources. What is not the case in it's current form. Secondly, that the DoD simply "suspect" him is not relevant to his notability.


 * Another concern: The NYT "misreported" the material that is in the section. It is troublesome to use it without making this very clear and only to use the misreported part without mentioning the content of the appended Editors' Note).


 * Finally, I have cited WP:GRAPEVINE. Because it clearly says that such material should be removed and not re-inserted until controversies have been solved. Iqinn (talk) 04:31, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Pentagon claim he had "returned to the fight"

 * This is a rather complete misrepresentation of the facts, Iqinn. The NYT did not "misreport" the material, they simply corrected some of their wording. In fact, they retracted nothing about Kudayev, and presenting this editor's note as some kind of proof of unreliability is extremely misleading. The section, short and succinct, has no current problems with factual accuracy, and as such, I'm removing the tag. Before reverting, please remember, you asked for outside opinion here, and I'm giving it. Unitanode  13:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I have added the tag again because we have the same problem on a few other pages. The discussion has been moved there. I would like to ask you not to remove the tag again until consensus has been achieved. This is the link to the discussion.
 * You are welcome to take part in the discussion there. Iqinn (talk) 21:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The fact that you're removing sourced material over many pages is a bit irrelevant. That said, I'm not going to edit war with you about it. I may just wash my hands of this mess soon, as it appears you are intractable on the matter. Unitanode  21:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The material is still on the page and it is just fair to add a tag. And when multiply pages have the same problems it makes sense to centralize the discussion. The link to the discussion Iqinn (talk) 22:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

add image
I added an image to the article. I don't know if it is the same image that was deleted two years ago. I have asked the administrator who performed the deletion to check.

The article I took the image from reports he has been beaten to the point he has been disfigured, and implies the transformation in his appearance is due to beatings. But it also says he acquired serious liver disease in Guantanamo. I want to note here that I recognize that his bloated appearance of his face may be due to the liver disease -- not the beatings. And I want to say that, according to my understanding of WP:VER, we have to stick with the explanation from our WP:RS. Even if one of us was a doctor specializing in liver disease, who assured the rest of us he or she could tell from the photo that the facial bloating was due to liver disease, we would still have to stick with the explanations published in WP:RS.
