[edit] Decapitation Pics

I removed the link, as they are not needed at all. Kris Classic 17:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reporting of death

Is it really fair to say that CNN reported the event? I mean, so did Yahoo!, Reuters, AP, the San Jose Mercury News.... all based on Al Arabiya, as far as I know. We probably ought to be sticking to primary sources here... --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:15, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

(My bad on that. I wanted to post an announcement ASAP, and CNN was one of the first mainstream networks to announce it. Alex Libman)

[edit] Descriptor

The name "Paul Johnson (hostage)" isn't quite fair to him. He didn't choose to be a hostage, after all. --Geoffrey

I don't believe "fairness" is an appropriate objection. Whether he chose to be a hostage or not (although I think it's patently obvious that he didnt) he certainly WAS a hostage. Therefore, it's a valid descriptive term. Now, if it's not in line with policy (note that Nick Berg is not Nick Berg (hostage), that's a valid objection, but I really don't think whether it's "fair" or not has anything to do with it. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 18:45, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC) P.S. I don't think, even if "fair" was a concern, that the (hostage) descriptor is unfair.
I think a descriptor like (American contractor) may be just as appropriate. The descriptor is to help disambiguate and help visitors find the article they're seeking. Jewbacca 18:48, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)
I think it's fine. That's what he's famous for. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 18:57, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'm moving the article to Paul Marshall Johnson, Jr. That was his name. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:36, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Is it really appropriate for Wikipedia to link to photos of the beheading? Vesta 21:26, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

No, it's not. Please remove them. Thank you.
OK, I checked the Wiki entry on Nick Berg, and the compromise policy decided on there seems to be that URLs to the media can be posted, though it should not be linked. I guess this stays up, then. :/ Vesta 21:33, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Looks like the URLs are linked again. What happened? --Lukobe 00:08, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

All due respect, I don't think "No, it's not" constitutes discussion, and certainly doesn't merit action ("Please remove them"). If anyone wants to present arguments that weren't raised during the Berg debate, please do. Otherwise we should default to the compromise position that was reached on that article. An encyclopedia should be consistent. Cribcage 00:37, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)


The prose here has problems too -- "suggests that Johnson himself may have been a Muslim" ... Where is the attribution? Fuzheado | Talk 04:31, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Example.jpg

Please educate me.. Why do people keep putting in an example.jpg image on the page??? Jewbacca 00:08, Jun 22, 2004 (UTC)

I've not really messed with uploading images to the Wiki, but maybe the documentation suggests that if you put the Image:Example tag in, it will take you to an upload form where the tag will be replaced by what you just uploaded. Or maybe people are just quirky. :) -- Vesta 02:07, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
That's simply the default or example link provided by the toolbar. Dori | Talk 01:28, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)


The poor man was brutally murdered and yet people post links glorifying it.Warmon 01:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

That link didn't work so I removed.

[edit] Missing material

Obviously someone owned the villa where the remains were found. Has Saudi Arabia caught the persons responsible, and have their families been forced to offer blood money? I think this piece would be better with this additional information in it. --Jackkalpakian 23:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PaulJohnson.jpg

Image:PaulJohnson.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
