Millions forced into Slavery by BBC News


There really has to be a better way to phrase that link title. --64.42.76.83 (talk) 20:50, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Review and Discussion for improvement
This article has three major weak spots that I can see, first, many of the sources are news outlets and other internet non-scholarly sources that are not as reliable and could serve to introduce bias, this also could leave the sources vulnerable to link rot which would make them harder for readers to find and/or verify. Secondly there are a lot of quotations used which could be replaced with paraphrasing or removed, which from what I understand is discouraged by Wikipedia policy's on quotation use. there are several conflicting figures on the actual number of slaves and I feel that the article could be improved by providing better information about when the estimates or surveys were made or by only using the most recent estimate, which I believe is the 20116 Global Slavery index Report of 43,000. To solve these problems, additional, preferably scholarly sources should be found to back up the information in the article and to provide better context. A review of each quotation would also be useful, the quotes in the lead section seem particularly suspect. I would welcome any additional suggestions for how to improve this page --Diego Huerta (talk) 22:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)


 * have just spent a good hour or more re-arranging, re-wording, deleting conflicting and repeated info, etc. It’s much better than it was, tho there’s still room for improvement.  Boscaswell   talk  05:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
