Talk:Spiral case

Rename article
I do not feel like the current article title is properly descriptive. I surveyed the English-language sources and they do not use the terms we have adopted. Therefore, let us feel free to retranslate a more proper term for this. "Spiral case" is problematic because it has the connotation of a single "case" or incident, which it clearly is not. "Spiral" is also less than perfect because it is very general and it is a literal translation of the Danish. I would say that the best title, and idiomatic translation, would be "Coil campaign": IUDs are often described as containing or consisting of coils, and the "campaign" part is both a literal translation and a description of the ongoing and systemic nature of it all.

 * No, the best title would be compulsory sterilization in Greenland. Unfortunately there were probably others, such as the ones referenced in . I can see how case implies a singular incident, but I intended it in the sense of a singular investigation. I'm OK with "campaign", though I find spiral a better description of the IUDs likely used in this case. To me (and thinking of Naja Lyberth's testimony), spiral invokes burrowing, invasion, and a struggle between smooth muscle and a curved apparatus. Coil and spiral share the connotation of inhuman and foreign, so ultimately not a big deal. Urve (talk) 03:56, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I've just set up a redirect from Coil campaign, the term that it being used in UK media (e.g. BBC News], which I was surprised didn't lead to this article, which I only managed to find via the Danish Spiralkampagnen. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:57, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "Greenlandic politician Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam has described the practice as genocide"
 * This was genocide according to the literal definition of the word, I am puzzled as to why the title and main text do not reflect this. 2A01:6F02:404:1141:21A5:9EDC:BFEA:26A5 (talk) 08:28, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Passive voice
Why is the article tending to adopt passive voice? Like "Thousands of girls and women ultimately had IUDs placed without their consent," and "thousands of Greenlandic Inuit girls and women had intrauterine devices (IUDs) inserted" and ... . -- M h hossein   talk 14:52, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Unintentional but I appreciate your fixing it., you may find sources like this interesting, which connect this government-fueled campaign with other human rights abuses, including the little Danes experiment and legal fatherlessness. I'm unsure how to properly write up those connections (which have appeared in other sources, too); if you or someone else wants to take a stab, or create an article like human rights abuses in Greenland/human rights in Greenland (or another title), I'd be happy to lend a hand.

 * Urve: I had almost forgot the page. Thanks for reminding. As for the suggestions, it seems possible. -- M h hossein   talk 18:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
