[edit]

Removed in its entirety the section titled "Child abuse by UN troops in Ivory Coast" -- section text was taken directly from the referenced site (http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704188104575083334130312808.html) which also contained POV issues e.g. "shockingly."

Is there a reason why the names of the whistle blowers are not mentioned?

[edit]

e.g. Anders Kompass of the UN who did wonderful workd and about whom a documentary was made. [1] or Kathryn Bolkovac [2] - a multi-award winning movie was made about what she lived.

Merge proposal:UN child sexual abuse scandal in Haiti

[edit]

The article UN child sexual abuse scandal in Haiti, should be merged into this article since it is WP:REDUNDANT as it becomes a WP:POVFORK with WP:NATIONALIST editors trying to create an WP:OR link to Sexual violence against Tamils in Sri Lanka, where as this article is centered around the general phenomenon of prostitution linked to peacekeeping. Cossde (talk) 04:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oppose merger since this topic deals with a specific scandal in a specific country. The reasons given are unfounded since only mainstream reliable sources are cited, therefore are subjective and not some existing Wikipedia guidelines.--- Petextrodon (talk) 05:15, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article (Sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers) deals with similar issues, without another articles for specific scandals or specific country. Why the difference with Haiti? Cossde (talk) 05:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are free to create other articles for those countries, whose cases I'm not familiar with enough to comment on, but the Haiti child sex ring has been widely reported thus worthy of such separate treatment. --- Petextrodon (talk) 05:52, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't seem to be intrested in creating other articles for those countries, does this mean you are more intrested sexual abuse by UN Sri Lankan peacekeepers, than UN peacekeepers in general? Cossde (talk) 05:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My personal interests are irrelevant. Let's stick to the topic at hand. ---- Petextrodon (talk) 06:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you agree that you are only intrested in the sexual abuse by UN Sri Lankan peacekeepers? Cossde (talk) 06:16, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't really have to do with anything... you can make an article on that if it's relevant and has long term effects PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pharaoh of the Wizards @Obi2canibe would also appreciate your input. --- Petextrodon (talk) 05:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dan arndt: appreciate your input. Cossde (talk) 06:18, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merger, as it is a prominent incident deserving of its own page:

The user who suggests this merger, has a long history of attempting to remove reliably sourced content that shows Sri Lankan army crimes, including sexual violence:

@Oz346, are you gaining resorting to WP:Personal Attack as you have done in the past? I feel this discussion is a fine example of WP:HOUNDING by Petextrodon and Oz346. Cossde (talk) 10:08, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Personal attack is disputing my arguments by questioning my motive, or worse, ascribing it, as you have done with several replies above. So, once again, let's stick to the topic at hand since this isn't the place to discuss personal interests. --- Petextrodon (talk) 14:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your WP:BIAS editing ([4] and [5]) is clearly part of this discussion due to a lack of WP:NPOV on your part here as you have mentioned here. Cossde (talk) 03:08, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All the sources I cited are mainstream and reliable. AP News was the one that popularized the case in recent times through their investigation, so I'm afraid your accusations are unfounded and unfair. --- Petextrodon (talk) 15:09, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yet you have failed to achieve WP:BALANCE in your writing. That I will leave to other neutral editors to decide in that. Cossde (talk) 14:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose merge. Haiti is a specific country and the sexual abuse there had specific and long term effects - part of why they're so afraid to deploy the UN there again. There's enough for an independent article for both. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:25, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
