Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Human rights. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Title

WikiProject on Human rights

[edit] Scope

Our scope is each and every Wikipedia article that concerns Human rights, be it Natural/Unalienable/Inalienable/Civil or any other sort of Rights. That´s pretty much - more than one thousand articles.

[edit] Parentage

WikiProject Human rights stands aside from other WikiProjects, but it is most related, of course to Wikipedia:WikiProject Law, Wikipedia:WikiProject International law, and, to lesser degree, to Wikipedia:WikiProject Anti-war movements and ideologies

[edit] Related Wikiportals

WikiProject Human rights maintains Portal:Human rights.

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

[edit] 12/4/06 - Indian Buddhist Revival and Kherlanji Massacre

As much as I'd love to do battle with Hkelkar and his fellow editors, I have a job and have to work.


This is the way the article Indian Buddhist Revival (now redirected, with no request for input, to a page called Dalit Buddhist Movement)looks today:[[1]]. The page history (briefly interrupted by an editor who futily tries to protest named Pkulkani)is here:[[2]].


The Kherlanji Massacre (which, believe me, is truly horrific by any human standard) looks like this [[3]]. This is it's page history:[[4]].


Hkelkar is working in concert with an Editor named Ambroodey, who was apparently called out of retirement by an editor named Dangerous Boy (or D-Boy). It appears I have a new "friend". NinaEliza 02:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


I can't BEGIN to enumerate the various flaws in both these articles, but here's just one example. The repeated rapes of these women is not "alleged", it's a fact. The murders (followed by the public parade of their bodies) are not an "alleged" crime.
By all accounts India is a Country brimming full with excellent examples of culture, architecture, botany, art, religious icons, as well as a phenomenally rich history. Furthermore, I assert that it's a Country fair to bursting with incredibly smart and compassionate people. But unless something happened that I'm not aware of recently, The great Nation of India still considers rapes and murders to be crimes.
You've simply let this go on to long. I appreciate that everyone is busy doing other things, or perhaps you sincerely did not know. But you must, must, start dealing with this. I'm copying the Hinduism project and the Indian Caste System project as well. I'm also copying my own project. I know there's wonderful editors here, and wonderful people. I'm showing my hand, and asking for help.
NinaEliza 04:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I know that these articles weren't part of WikiProject India, and I know that Hkelkar was never a member. I apologize for sounding so shrill, and for bringing up a painful subject. But now that you're aware of what's going on, I would dearly appreciate it if you take these articles into your care. Thank you.

I'm joining your project, and I need help. Even just putting these articles on your watchlist would be a big help. I'm not an Indian, but I'm a human being. If I can be of any assistance to you in return, please let me know. Thank you, NinaEliza 04:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
