censorship regarding documented info

Here en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Umm_Kulthum&diff=1080802070&oldid=1080229300 user Higaz kar who disappeared meanwhile and only operated on that page, censored well documented information according wikipedia rules as "urban legend". Since the page is protected I submit this topic to others to intervene and correct the situation. 2A02:A03F:6AF5:1D00:5D0A:A828:A9:A058 (talk) 22:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'm Higaz Kar. First of all, I did not disappeared, I intervene in other wikipedia pages, and even initiated some of them. Second point, my humble little person should not be the center of interest here.

Third point, there was no censored informations of any kind, I asked for evidences of the existence of this song before allowing such a serious and defamatory statement. The source you are refering to does not provide any proof of the existence of such a song and just asserts it. On the other hand, the term "urban legend" used to qualify the nature of this assertion is not not mine but it comes from a source that I quoted. It's an article titled "A propos d'Oum Kalsoum"/ "About Umm Kulthum", published in Libération on 09/27/2001, by Professor Frédéric Lagrange from the department of Arabic and Hebraic studies of the Sorbonne University in Paris, he's also known for his researches, studies and books about arabic music.

Each and every registered song from Umm Kulthum are rigorously referenced (no one can invent one of her song, precise reference of edition and record are required) and I have published the referenced list on the french wikipedia page. I invite you to read the sources published on the french wikipedia page.

Kind regards,

song in 1967

to Fragrant_Peony: Why do you pretend there is no song as that, despite several correct documentary sources? Even the source who pretends it could be false, gives a correct witness! Your actions doesn't look at all neutral. That is not acceptable, according wikipedia rules 2A02:A03F:6AFB:B000:8933:C174:2D51:2AD2 (talk) 22:18, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
