Ali al-Ghanmi

Hey B. A. Baracus (which is how I secretly imagine you), I knocked another off your list today, Ali al-Ghanmi. Could you add the Arabic for his name when you get a chance? One other issue you might be able to clear up is whether AaG was military, police, or some sort of military police... I saw sources describing him both ways. Thanks as always for putting all these sources together. Cheers, Khazar2 (talk) 18:12, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Hahahahahaahahaahaha :D I needed a laugh man. This is the last week of exams.

Good job with the article, it needs minor edits. I believe he's a military officer, because he was wearing their clothes on all occasions when he joined protesters as shown in pictures (he's also known locally as "The General", but I doubt any sources mention that). I've got some images of police and military officers in Pearl Roundabout, too bad he's not in any of them. I uploaded them to this website which hosts images for many photographers. You'll see the uploader name as "Malak Alrooh" (which is the nickname of my gf, but she used my camera anyway). I tried uploading them myself to the commons, but it said I'd have to wait 2 hours for an image! Mohamed CJ (talk) 18:43, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Okay, will try to clear up that military/police thing soon. Good luck on the last of the exams! Khazar2 (talk) 04:23, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Another note on Ali al-Ghanmi--would you de-orphan that one once you've recovered from your exams? You know the Bahrain Uprising coverage better than I do overall (I'm thinking maybe links from Bloody Thursday and Pearl Roundabout? He doesn't seem quite notable enough for including in the template.) Khazar2 (talk) 05:03, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, he can be linked from a number of articles including the main one about repression. It should be divided to sub titles such as repression against medics, journalist, military officers, sportsmen, human rights defenders, opposition activist and such (I've already collected sources for the medics case since it's the most notable internationally -it was posted here on main page on 14 June- watch this recent CNN report to get an idea about it). Al-Ghanmi also can be mentioned in the timeline since he first joined protests on 22 February. Also he can be included in National Safety Court or List of individuals convicted by National Safety Court (in total they're in hundreds, but only few are notable enough to have their own articles) and even in Torture during the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising (new section where we mention the names of notable people who were tortured). I only have one exam left, it's short so I'm kinda done already. Mohamed CJ (talk) 05:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Cool. I'm hoping to make that medics article the next one that I tackle, btw. Khazar2 (talk) 05:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Good. What are you going to call the main article by the way? Repression against medics during the 2011–2012 Bahraini uprising? or just individual BLP articles? Mohamed CJ (talk) 06:01, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Still working on that--I was hoping on review of sources that one might suggest a good group title. failing that, something like "2011 Bahrain medical personnel trials", maybe. I realize there's more to it than just the trials, but I'm hoping that it can still all be shoehorned under that title. Khazar2 (talk) 06:07, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Trials are still on going so "2011–2012 Bahrain medical personnel trials". Mohamed CJ (talk) 06:09, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

2011–2012 Bahrain health worker trials

A first draft of 2011–2012 Bahrain health worker trials is up, and it's a doozy, as you'd expect. I put a few questions on the talk page if you have any answers. This is a trickier one to balance than our usual collaborations--there's just so much info and so many players that we have to be selective about what goes in, so please adjust if I've put in too much or too little of any major topic. Thanks as always for doing all the "legworK" on the research... Khazar2 (talk) 04:40, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Collaboration

Ashrf1979 (talk) 18:27, 29 May 2012 (UTC)السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته جهد مبارك وانشاالله يكون بينا تعاون في مجال التحرير في ويكيبديا

W.S. Thanks. I hope to start such a collaboration, but hopefully not in the way I've seen you edit Bahrani people. I usually share my future plans in Articles for creation and Articles for expansion. My pure focus -which can be seen in my edits- is on articles related to the Bahraini uprising, but I'm also interested in other articles relating to Bahrain. Also, despite what my username might suggest, I actually try hard to keep a neutral point of view and avoid promoting my own view over the improvement of Wikipedia.

Hamad al-Naqi

Hey BA,

I don't know if you've already read about this case, but a Kuwaiti tweeter Hamad al-Naqi was sentenced to ten years in prison this week for, among other things, criticizing the king of Bahrain. Take a look if you're interested, and as always, if you could add the Arabic spelling of his name to the article, it'd be a big help. Thanks and enjoy the weekend! Khazar2 (talk) 07:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, nice work with that. I've added the Arabic name and found those two articles: [1], [2]. You could also add a short background about the other guy who was sentenced to seven years prison for similar charges. Cheers! Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:28, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the assist. I'll try to tackle more of this later today. Khazar2 (talk) 15:19, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Merged that article

Ok, I merged that article.

Btw: لا تخاف انا مو بلطجي :)
