Revision history

[edit]

This article was once at Camp Justice. A couple of what I consider bad decisions were made around that article:

  1. It described three bases called "Camp Justice". I think the rule should have been, one camp, one article.
  2. In 2009 a contributor, without discussing it, or explaining themselves afterward, cut the sections about each individual camp, and:
    1. pasted them into existing article, creating new sections there, but without doing any other work to integrate that material
    2. The pasting them was done without recording in the edit summary that it was the work of other contributors, and telling readers where to find the earlier revision history. This was a violation of the earlier contributors remaining intellectual property rights. We give away most of our rights, but we retain the right to have our contributions attributed to us.
    3. When they turned Camp Justice into a disambiguation page they linked to sub-heading within those larger article. This is a recipe for disaster, as wikilinks to subheadings within articles are only partially supported.
      • When we rename a wikipedia article the WMF software leaves a redirect behind. So wikilinks don't break the way regular links on the general world-wide-web do. But wikilinks to subheadings within articles DO break. And the wikilink to Diego Garcia#Camp Justice was did break when a good faith editor changed the subsection heading.
      • One can't put a subsection within another article on one's watchlist.
      • There is no "what links here" feature for wikilinks to subsection headings.
      So, in my opinion, if a topic is worthy of a wikilink, it is worthy of a stand-alone article.

For the reasons offered above I created three separate stand-alone articles for the three separate camps.

Camp Justice (Iraq) and Camp Justice (Diego Garcia) are brand new. The edit summary for the edit that started those articles tells readers to look at the revision history of Camp Justice for the attribution.

Camp Justice (Guantanamo) was moved from Camp Justice, I then went back to the revision just prior to the other contributor's, and kept just the material on the Camp Justice in Guantanamo. Geo Swan (talk) 11:54, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
