Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/June 25

I have changed the text from "kidnap" to "capture" and removed "held hostage." Put simply, the Gilad Shalit also uses that terminology, and it is backed up by citations. hbdragon88 (talk) 02:12, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

So help me out here: The complainer unilaterally makes the change on the Gilad Shalit article[1][2] before posting on WP:ERRORS [3], and then after not getting a satisfactory answer to his perference, he requests it on WP:ANI[4]. Meanwhile, he is reverted on the Gilad Shalit article with the edit summary, "rv lead changes: see sources.(also note its recieved long-term agreement".[5] I see a contradiction here, hbdragon88.

I see there was a dispute about the word "hostage" discussed on Talk:Gilad Shalit#RfC: Use of the term "hostage" regarding Gilad Shalit and Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Gilad Shalit. Again, the Main Page defers to the article for accuracy or when there is disagreement, so whatever is consensus there should be reflected here. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:37, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
