revert -- see talk

There are several hundred articles about Guantanamo captives that use the picture of the Guantana CSR Tribunal trailer. To make mantenance easier I think it makes sense to have all instances of the picutre use the same caption. So, unless someone suggests a wording that is clearly superior, and should then replace all the instances, I think it makes sense to revert the recent move of the caption into the article.

I think default sort is a mistake for Arabic names

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I think default sort is a mistake for individuals with Arabic names.

People with Arabic names don't inherit a surname, like people with an European do. Traditionally the closest thing they have to a "last name" is their father's first name.

And it is absolutely clear to me that it is a mistake to use default sort for the Guantanamo captives -- because the US Department of Defense can't consistently figure out what their names are.

Therefore I just reverted an edit where a well-meaning contributor imposed default sort on this individual.

Please don't impose default sort on these guys without discussing it first.

move?

I suggest to move the article to Adel Zamel Abd al Mahsen al Zamel following the New York Times and other secondary sources. IQinn (talk) 02:26, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Moved to Adel al Zamel as per this and additional sources. (Andy Worthington, MCclatchy...) IQinn (talk) 07:02, 21 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
