Talk:2000 Fijian coup d'état

Untitled[edit]

The reason for my moves was the existence of the article 2006 Thai coup d'état. Since it's generally the standard practice to name articles with a year disambiguation (just a few examples that are current events: 2006 G20 summit, 2006 Southeast Asian haze, 2006 protests in Hungary, 2006 Georgian-Russian espionage controversy, 2006 Tonga riots, 2006 Oaxaca protests), I moved all coup and coup attempt articles to the common name format of "Year demonym coup(s) d'état (attempt(s))". Sorry for not explaining this beforehand, but I thought the move rather uncontroversial and straightforward. Do you oppose the move per se or just the standard I was trying to set with this? I'm sure we can come to an agreement. —Nightst a llion (?) 22:49, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The same's the case for Fiji crisis of 2005-2006, confer 2005-2006 Thai political crisis. —Nightst a llion (?) 22:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's done now. —Nightst a llion (?) 17:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is See Also section needed?[edit]

Is the See Also section required, given that the same titles exist in the navbox? It seems to be redundant and should be removed. Is this thing working? (talk) 23:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the only template in the article is on worldwide coups since 1991. Although many of these articles are poorly sourced, i think they may deserve their own navbox, or maybe Fiji has one in general.

Oh, i see. the navbox appeared as a "see also" section. very sloppy. ive now fixed that. the articles need more refs, though.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:15, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for rebuilding this article[edit]

This article seems to have been sanitised, on the pretext that (like many older articles) it is unsourced. I suggest using the last good version (which is a bit of a mess) as a starting point and rewriting it from there with proper sourcing. useful sources include:

Speight of Violence (in refs already)
Coup: Reflections on the Political Crisis in Fiji (also on JSTOR)
The USP journalism students' Fiji Crisis coverage (archive, background)
FIJI'S COUPS OF 1987 AND 2000: A COMPARISON

There are plenty of other sources as well. The article on George Speight has also been santisied and will also need to be rebuilt. --IdiotSavant (talk) 12:43, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Articles I've restored by sources:

The article "Resignation of Ratu Mara", I rewrote in Portuguese Wikipedia using the deleted text of English Wikipedia with sources I found. Finding sources on these subjects was not difficult. --Fontaine347 (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've mostly cleaned this up now, but haven't made a start on the other articles.--IdiotSavant (talk) 06:23, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
