I'd like to save this and help inform the world of HR violations, but I don't know enough. Can someone write a stub so it's not just a link? Jwrosenzweig 20:41, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Is this a candidate for speedy removal or Vfd. There is only links on this page. Wikipedia is not a link directory. Quinwound 20:46, Mar 31, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Moved article
I moved the article so its title fits in with other human rights in X articles. Grunners 01:50, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Freedom of FACIAL HAIR ???
I simply cannot believe this. -DarkBard 15:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- It is neither neutral nor sourced; but it may well be true. Septentrionalis 17:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I changed the section to more broadly cover Turkmenbashi's bizaare and irrational behavior. I've never heard anybody say that the beard ban is due to Turkmenbashi's own hairlessness, but I'm leaving it in as it seems very likely given the man's crazy Napoleon-complex ego. Augustgrahl
[edit] Translation
I am extremly alarmed at the translations of individual entries. It seems they contain quite different information depending on the language. My primary concern is about the English- Turkish translation of the government of Turkmenistan. It is infact a dictatorship, yet translates to "republic". Is this saying something about how each country views the entry?
- I haven't read this article in any of the other translations, but Turkmenistan is definitely a dictatorship, with a very poor human rights record. -- Augustgrahl 22:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Public smoking ban
Is the public smoking ban really bizarre or eccentric? Grzes 14:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Saparmurat Niyazov has a tendency to ban things based on seemingly arbitrary whims rather than real, logical reasons, so I don't think it would be incorrect to include his ban on smoking. It fits into his pattern of outlawing just about everything that he finds distasteful. -- Augustgrahl 15:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
