Secrecy

[edit]

The secrecy one gets with illegal action means that this article is bound to sound like a personal essay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.12.32 (talk) 16:27, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This 'article' is so bad that it needs to be removed if no one wants to do the work to fix it. Let me make a couple of examples:
"evidence has shown that there is still existing slavery in Yemen". There is no link to this supposed evidence. There is no link to such evidence in that paragraph or any of the following. To be clear, I am not saying that such slavery does not exist, but after reading this article you just do not know.
"It has been reported that two main types of slavery currently exist in Yemen." Again there is no link to such reports and so indication of where the reports came from a reliable source.
"slavery is easy to get away with, and no real steps are taken to put a stop to it"
Again this is asserted with zero evidence. Might it be true? Of course it might, but might does not equate to is.

"Abdulhadi Al-Azazi, a member of the team investigating slavery in Yemen" What investigative team? That is the name of a former government deputy minister so if it is the same person, his opinions are at best questionable, possibly influenced by the political situation in Yemen, but no link is given to positively identify the person or 'team' inquestion.

This is the sort of article that lowers Wikipedia's reputation as a research source. 50.38.12.240 (talk) 01:19, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
