HIV trial in Libya

Regarding your removal of my edit, The article is called "HIV trial in Libya" and that is what it should be about. 426 biographies of children do not belong in this article. IanUK 14:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

This is the main issue in the trial the names of those children must be documented here before the names of the one who killed them at least the 57 dead one Islampedia 14:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

First, we don't see messages placed on your User Talk page unless I happen to look at it - please put them on ours or on the article's Discussion page (at the bottom). Second, I had made a page just for the names of the children, List of Libyan children in HIV trial in Libya, and placed a link at the appropriate place in HIV trial in Libya - lists that long are usually broken out into linked separate pages that way. Third, you need a reputable cite that says the blood samples didn't come from the children, preferably in English - I follow the news daily but so far haven't spotted that claim. I hope we can come to agreement on how to structure the article - I'm following policy, as I've been working on Misplaced Pages for close to two years now. Simesa 22:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The names of the children must be on this page and not on the back as u like them to be u can put a link and main article but they must be on that article too. This is the usual in wikipedia ... u have to watch Aljazeera International it is in English There was a lot of talk about the samples ... Also the article in NATURE was not a scientific paper it was and EDITORIAL article where the difference is clear if u know what I mean Islampedia 23:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

If you read the Nature page (as cited in the article) it was a "Brief Communication" (their page name) of scientific results, not an editorial. Cites must be verifiable by other editors, which generally means we need something in print from a reputable source - I'm sorry, but TV reports of someone's speculation is insufficient. 400+ names inside an article is NOT the norm - instead, the usual practice is to break out the long list onto its own page - for example, Heritage railway and List of heritage railways. I'm not trying to hide anything: every life is important, especially innocent ones. I hope the preceding helps us to a resolution here - if not, the next step you would try would be the Request for Comment process. Simesa 00:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

There is only one name in the list !!! after the list contains 10+ names then could be moved let people see the names of the victims and contribute there are facts hidden behind every child killed. After u see the list large then move it not now

If you can't reasonably complete the list then it doesn't belong in at all - prepare it offline and then paste it in. Three editors have told you to take this to the linked page. Meanwhile, you are in violation of the Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule. If it happens again I will report you to an administrator. Simesa 00:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
