I saw you made half a dozen recent edits to List of Guantanamo Bay detainees. This article has been woefully out of date, for almost ten years.
When I started it, over ten years ago, I thought the names should not be shoehorned to make it look like these individuals had a western style surname. While many westernized muslims, with Arabic style names, will Europeanize their names, and give their children something like a European style surname, almost all of the Guantanamo captives have traditional Arabic style name. The DoD made the terrible mistake of Europeaninizing the names. Uneuropeanizing them took hours.
Then a malicious POV pusher nominated the list at AFD. While the decision was made to keep the list, respondents there made the decision to re-Europeanize it. As I anticipated, this has been a maintenance nightmare.
On April 20, 2006, and May 15 2006, the DoD published its first two official lists. Very little effort has been made to update this list to incorporate information from the official list, and it is still marred by being Europeanized.
Because I have had some really vicious, really malicious, wikistalkers, I have not unilaterally revised the lists. But the talk page has my suggestions as to how it should be revised.
If you have time, could you be interested in endorsing those suggestions -- or if you disagree, discuss the suggestions with me, and say why you disagree?
