[edit] Search Function Difficulty

• I'm having hard time with redirecting and search functions. Is it possible to redirect and search for "Qatif Girl" or Qatif rape case , or any other close vartaion to this page? Unless i type the whole article title, the search result will come empty, even one misspell will result "no match". I tried redirecting but it didnt seem to work. Would anyone please advice me what to do? thanks Souli~ 19:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Go to the articles you want to make a redirect, create them, and as content, enter: #REDIRECT [[Qatif Girl Rape Case]]. In theory. In practice, make them to Qatif girl rape case which I am moving this article to because it is the prefered capitalistion as in the manual of style. Martijn Hoekstra 19:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the help, I only created the Girl of Qatif and Girl from Qatif pages because I couldn't find it when I did a search. Is "Qatif girl rape case" listed in appropriate lists? That would definitely help findability. Famous rape cases, famous Saudi trials, etc. Thanks. --Spesek (talk) 19:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] one sided article

I do agree that it is horable htat the victum of a crime can be sentanced to a punishment, But in reading the link defending the minister and the other source texts I can see how single sided this article is. I do not have teh editing skill to correct this error please help by following the wikipeda guidlines and reporting both sides of the story. Ap0ught (talk) 22:04, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two victims

There were two victims in this case, yet little mention is made of the male rape victim in this article. Indeed, the female victim is referred to as "the victim" in several places. This needs to be addressed (by someone who knows more about the subject than I do). Just an observation. Martin (talk) 22:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

In a court case the prosecution is sometimes referred to as the victim, the man was a victim in the normal sense, but I don't know if he brought charges against the men, which would explain why he might not be referred to as a victim in a court case article. IMO anyway the men must have paid him to deliver the girl, and then he claimed he was raped also in order to make the court think he was innocent, perhaps he thought they would take pity, and not condemn him for being alone with a woman. As the rapists are denying everything they aren't going to say they paid the guy. Jackaranga (talk) 22:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Interesting theory; I have to say it's the first time I've heard it. Do you have any references to back it up? If so, it should probably go in the article. You have to remember though, that if he did deliver the girl, by doing so he was making himself guilty of the crime they were both charged with. So making the court think he was innocent doesn't really come into it. He wasn't innocent of the "crime" they were both charged with. Martin (talk) 23:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
