Unsorted

[edit]

The articly reads more like an editorial then an encyckopedia article. It might hard to objectify the article judging by the nature but it's nessesary. Johhny-turbo 20:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is unfortunate that the primary source of information for this article is a sensationalized "HBO TV Exposee." This article demands a total re-write, or an AfD as unencyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Nimur 14:09, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interested readers can see the Human trafficking, child labor, and human rights articles for those issues. There is no need for Child Camel Jockeys to be a separate article which serves as a rant-page. Nimur 14:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect removed

[edit]

I have removed the redirect put in place by Nimur. It is totally indefensible. The redirect was put in place on an article which was linked to by several others--including one which Nimur hastily suggested as an alternative--and without moving any of the information elsewhere. What's more, the article contained links to many reputable news sources as references. --Adamrush 14:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Npov tag

[edit]

Nothing has been discussed on this talk for a long time so i'm removing it, along with the lack of sources tag as i see 6 sources and no cite tags. Hypnosadist 00:33, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Vandalism

[edit]

Removed the vandalism, which cited the parody website the Guardian, that dealt with a state-mandated replacement by robotic camel jockeys. Funny stuff though better suited to another website like unencyclopedia, or etc. --Charizardpal (talk) 05:49, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Significance and truthfulness

[edit]

The article is subjective, politically loaded, it imposes an opinion and brings up a problem, while Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an arena for political debate. The problem itself is actually non-existent, ALL sources quote the same article and tv-report. A fiction book cannot be the source of a wiki.

WHY distinguish camel riders from all other forms of child labor and child abuse? Why a separate article? I think this article should be edited to remove all political context and included into Child Abuse or Child Labor articles IF other sources can be found. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leo711 (talkcontribs) 19:53, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
