Bradley Manning dual citizenship
Hi Naomi. Yes I agree this is an issue. There are procedures in place to help to resolve a conflict between editors. I left it for a while so the people on the other side of the argument could accept our evidence and resolve it themselves. No such luck. So it's time to take it further.

Hi Naomi. Dispute resolution procedures have become more formal since the last time I was in dispute with another editor. Details can be found here Dispute_resolution. I raised the matter on Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard which I understand to be the correct place at this point.

Writing messages like this is indeed the normal way for editors to communicate on WP. I'd prefer a true email style system but here we are :) Robert Brockway (talk) 14:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Naomi. Re your request on my talk page; reverting the article wouldn't help.  We need to follow through with the attempt to find consensus. Robert Brockway (talk) 22:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Naomi. As you may have seen earlier today I agreed not to persue the matter about Manning's British citizenship appearing in the infobox anymore on the basis that it is meant to be kept fairly simple. An independent editor did make this point. Having said that, there is now general agreement among participants that he has British citizenship. I amended the body of the article to make this clearer but there no longer seems to be a problem if someone wanted to expand on this a bit. Robert Brockway (talk) 12:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Manning citizenshjp
Hi Auerfeld, can I ask you please not to edit this aspect of the article again? You posted that you were running a campaign about it in the UK, which places you in a conflict of interest: see WP:COI. Also, Manning has explicitly said he is does not want British citizenship, so Wikipedia can't force it on him. Finally, as you're reverting a lot, I want to draw your attention to our three-revert-rule; please see WP:3RR.

The article does discuss the British citizenship issue, so that's not a problem, but we can't state in Wikipedia's voice that he is a British citizen, when he has said he doesn't want it, and it's not part of his life in any way. I've explained more on the talk page. Cheers, SlimVirgin  TALK |  CONTRIBS 21:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem to refrain from editing - but the question does need to be tackled. David Coombs' statement doesn't actually make a difference to Bradley's status, there are quite a few reputable sources that say so and the fact that the British Government has intervened on his behalf means that it is both pertinent to his notability and relevant to his present condition.


 * I also think you're wrong as far as the wikipedia guidance on biographies of living persons goes. Supporting affirmatory evidence is required (understandably) for statements about a subject's sexual or religious identity, or anything likely to put them in bad light. I cna't see that Bradley Manning's dual citizenship status falls into any of those categories. Due to the position I hold, I am not going to say anything about the body content of the article itself, but I do take the position that basic facts with abundant supporting evidence need to be reported.

 * Hi Naomi. SlimVirgin may not see this response - you'd need to put it on their talk page.  Cheers.  Robert Brockway (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
