The article needs fixing up.

[edit]

This is what happens with tiny countries. The protests didn't end in May, and there was just now a change in government.Ericl (talk) 14:24, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed! - Kylelovesyou (talk) 06:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming article

[edit]

The initial protests occurred in May 2011 however protests continued into 2012. The president either "resigned" or was forced out in a "coup" according to various sources. I propose a name change to the 2011-2012 Maldivian coup or the 2011-2012 Maldivian protests or something along those lines. The article is also lacking information on what happened between May 2011 and February 2012 (which I suppose is largely because the media has been ignoring the situation).- Kylelovesyou (talk) 06:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved and renamed the article to 2012 Maldives Crisis. This is what most of the media seem to be calling it. I've placed references for this in the article after the name. - Kylelovesyou (talk) 10:37, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Ubufili (talk) 02:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)) I prefer to rename article title to "2011-2012 Maldives Political Crisis". Main reason is on throughout 2011 there were protests and the largest with 25,000 on 23rd December 2011. If we don't add the word 'politics' it is more generalized and misleading.[reply]
 Done The first moved ignored the start in 2-11 and uses it as a proper noun.Lihaas (talk) 08:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

POV on coup

[edit]

Whether or not Nasheed was deposed by a coup remains hotly disputed, and an issue that most reliable sources have refused to take a side on. I propose that we use language similar to the main Nasheed article here, which was hammered out by several editors of different viewpoints: that Nasheed resigned in disputed circumstances, with opposition claiming he did so freely and him claiming that he did so "at gunpoint". Right now the article appears to unabashedly endorse Nasheed's version of events. Khazar2 (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Khazar Ubufili (talk) 02:36, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've finally instituted my suggestion above. Sorry for the delay. I'm now removing the POV template, but if anyone feels I'm doing so wrongly, feel free to revert. Khazar2 (talk) 19:26, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The new government, in the presence of foreign observers, ruled that the events on Feb 7 did not constitute a coup d'etat. The article is written heavily biased in Nasheed's favour, and it does not appear to entertain any alternative point of view. The government report, published a few days prior, is never mentioned here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.191.85 (talk) 15:04, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There are several sentences on the report in the "coup allegations" section. But I have moved it up to the lead section, too. If there are any other areas that still seem biased to you, please let us know here and somebody (or I) can tackle them. Khazar2 (talk) 15:21, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

The content on Nasheeds page is much too long for that. It should be smmarised there and put the main points here with a hatnote there. After all this si the bulk of the issue about his resignationLihaas (talk) 08:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since no formal merge proposal has been put forward, I'm actually going to remove both tags. No prejudice to any nomination, though, which I'd be glad to hear about. Khazar2 (talk) 08:39, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
