Nazir Ahmed, Baron Ahmed cases - section

edit

Why is the Ahmed case a section of its own unlike all the other cases? And why are we given biographical info on Ahmed when there was no mention of that type of information on any of the other perpetrators? If those cases are somehow particularly notable, then the current section is not conveying their relevance accordingly. Nakonana (talk) 03:38, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nazir Ahmed was a member of the House of Lords and a former councillor in Rotherham so he is much higher profile compared to the others convicted so warrants his own section. Truenature12 (talk) 21:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I see, thanks for explaining. This information should probably be added to the article, if it wasn't yet. Nakonana (talk) 02:58, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Rotherham grooming survivor awarded £425k after suing rapist" section

edit

The section should probably be renamed into something more general, like, "Compensation payments". The current heading rather reads like a newspaper heading than that of an encyclopedia. And shortening 425,000 to 425k sounds a bit slangy. Nakonana (talk) 03:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good point the header changed to a more formal version. Truenature12 (talk) 09:56, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Though it probably should be more generalized because more victims might sue and receive compensation payments. With the current heading, we'd need to create a separate section for each instance of compensation payment. Nakonana (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@213.55.237.119 I noticed you seemed to take issue with the phrase "sexual abuse" and prefer the phrase "rape". Sexual abuse is a more accurate and widely used term, as it covers the entirety of what was done, instead of only a specific part. I encourage you to voice your disagreement here though!
