Talk:Criticism of monarchy

NPOV and OR Tags

I've tagged this article for possible breach of the Neutral Point of View principle, as well as Original Research. On the NPOV issue, the recent additions to the article strike me as very one-sided, and written from an advocacy perspective. On the issue of Original Research, the statements that monarchies are contrary to the various human rights charters strike me as the editor's own perspective. Using a primary source as authority, especially a general legal document, is questionable, if there is no indication that the legal documents have in fact been interpreted by a court in the way suggested by the editor.

I've removed the "Incompatibility" sections, since they look very much like original research. If the editor who put them in has reliable sources making the connections between these charters and these monarchies violating them, they need to show us what they are. If they're coming up with it on their own, it obviously can't stay. Egsan Bacon (talk) 02:14, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

And I've removed the same text again. Firstly, because the "cite" provided is from the website [1], a petition site, certainly not a RS. (Here's a discussion showing consensus about not using petition sites as sources [2].) I also cannot help but note that when I went to the main page of that site, the top one on recent petitions was for the reintroduction of tuna pizza at pizza hut ("Pour la réintroduction des pizzas au thon chez pizza hut"). Secondly, because the text appears to be a combination of things directly from the petition and things the cite would not support saying even if it was a usable source (which it is not.)

No criticism of the British/Japanese/Thai monarchy?

Seems a bit odd the article about anti-monarchism makes no mention of some of the biggest and oldest monarchy in the world. Even though the Queen herself is generally beloved, there still is plenty of British Republicanism. Also similar situations in Japan and Thailand. Aceus0shrifter (talk) 16:39, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

What laws in specific monarchy systems lead to so much criticism? POUSHOO (talk) 19:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Norway: I added background information as to why the article I drew information from, and added was important. It’s important that Norway has done good work regarding women’s rights and equality, but women in Norway have low protection when it comes to sexual discrimination. I added information from the table of contents of the UN submission from Amnesty International without adding sub information on why each topic is important. Both Norway’s foreign policy, and UN submission are linked to my edit so a reader can look into the specifics. I kept the original article's source too, and made it an “additional article” so the reader can look into the republicanism aspect of Norway's society.

Japan: I added information from the article from Amnesty International on their UN Human Right Committee. I listed the groups of people that are facing discrimination and whose rights and privacy is being violated. I gave a few examples of instances where these groups are being discriminated against, or where violations are present. The article is liked, and contains more data regarding the discrimination in Japan.

Thailand: I explained the current controversy over the 112 or lèse-majesté law, and how it has continued to increase the rise of criticism towards Thailand's monarchy. There was no information on the Thailand monarchy that contributed to current thoughts and feelings towards the Thai monarchy so I felt as though some current information on one of their most known laws was fitting. I decided to keep the historical articles that were originally in this section because they pieced well together.

Uniited Kingdom: There was no information on criticism towards the British monarchy so I added both public opinion by Britons throughout history, the current rise of negative opinion, and the group that normally rates the monarchy the lowest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.42.144.19 (talk) 18:01, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
