Unencyclopedic tag

Make your comments here regarding the encyclopedic nature of this article and List of journalists killed in Russia. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 02:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no actual purpose for placing this tag on this page, then it should be removed. It is obvious that this page was tagged with an unencyclopedic tag as part of an effort to delete the List of Journalists killed in Russia. There have been no references to an unencyclopedic nature for any of the sources or information in this article, thus the tag should be removed. David Straub (talk) 02:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted unencyclopedic tag after same tag was deleted from above mentioned list of journalists killed in Russia

Sections of this article another website without attribution

Just for the record, an author named Michael Hancock at Registan.net copied large sections from this page, slightly changing the text, and published it on the registan website in October 2010. That registan.net article is also now located in the lexis-nexis news database. Hancock writes, "I will be devoting a percentage of my free time to this project over the semester, and my goal is for Registan to have a fairly comprehensive list of those journalists that have been silenced by their own governments or factions in power." He doesn't mention that the text of his article was taken from this wikipedia page and only slightly changed. So if anyone in the future thinks that wikipedia editors copied the registan site and pasted it onto wikipedia, it's the other way around. Here's the registan page: http://www.registan.net/index.php/2008/10/11/murdered-journalists-update/ David Straub (talk) 14:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
