Talk:Richard Huckle

Legal notes for future contributors

Note to future editors / editors. Due to legal reasons the exact details of the ethnic community which Huckle targeted, and the church in The UK at which he attended, are not listed in the article about him. A court order has been enacted, according to a Sky News report, stating that to ensure that the community does not fall prey to other predators the details of this community must not be reported. In order to comply with the court order such information should not be included in this article. Aaronruddock (talk) 11:57, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

This is certainly true for editors based in the UK, and possibly UK citizens editing from overseas, but UK courts have no jurisdiction otherwise. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:43, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Copyvio

The section on how he was caught reads very close to the (cited) source from the BBC]. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:47, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

I did write that section myself based on the various sources, mainly using Sky News as an influence, and didn't copy paste anything. Having looked into your comment the first line does sound a lot like the article admittedly so maybe that sentence should be changed so it doesn't look like a copy-paste job if anybody can think of a better way to say it. Aaronruddock (talk) 20:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

It certainly seems very much copied, with some sentences, eg "Police took the unprecedented step of assuming the identity of McCoole", copied verbatim from the BBC source. BrxBrx (talk) 08:05, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

United Kingdom

Adding "United Kingdom" after "England" in the infobox is just clutter. Both instances should be removed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:16, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't agree that both instances should be removed, but having both is entirely unnecessary. The documentation of {{Infobox person}} states that with the birth_place parameter, we should "omit unnecessary [...] details" (clearly either "England" or "UK" is superfluous). It also states that "the country should generally be a sovereign state; for United Kingdom locations, the constituent countries of the UK are sometimes used instead, when more appropriate in the context". UK is the sovereign state, and using England does not give better clarity or impart more information. Given that User:Helper201 has suggested that UK is appropriate since the article describes the subject as British (not English), I feel the field should include "United Kingdom" but not "England". I will make the change, and hope that if there is any objection we can continue this discussion here. MIDI (talk) 10:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

@Helper201: pinging FYI. MIDI (talk) 10:43, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Removing England, which is more precise, is not appropriate. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Shannon McCoole

I am surprised that Shannon McCoole has no personal page. --Japarthur (talk) 11:16, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Use of the term Child Pornography

Should be referred to as child sexual exploitation material instead. 117.20.68.42 (talk) 09:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Why? cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 20:47, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Updated link to British council statement

Here's the link to it [1]. I have no way of doing citations at the moment due to not having a PC. I was hoping someone else might add this link in the citation template for the 18th citation in the "Aftermath and Criticism" section, the citation which has a template saying "[needs update] " after it. As you can read, it is the same statement as quoted, just moved to another page of the British council's website. Phil of rel (talk) 21:59, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Defamation

I do not see why my name ("Harry Archibald") appears multiple times in an article about a convicted paedoph*le and serial groomer. I have taken the liberties of rectifying your error, but should this happen again you are on thin ice, you shall get a call from my solicitor. 2600:1700:3EC7:4150:CDF5:ECBA:20AF:BA6F (talk) 05:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Harold Spencer Archibald
