removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:32, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed tone tag.

I've removed the tone tag as the article has been suitably improved since the tag was placed in may 2013 (also there was no discussion justifying it - I presume it was placed due to the state of the Qatar section at the time). Finally does this article not deserve a higher rating than 'low importance' in the Wikiproject human rights'?1812ahill (talk) 13:02, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removing old merge tag with vaguely related article

The merge tag merge|Islamic adoptional jurisprudence|date=February 2017 is old and I don't see any justification apart from the fact that the word الكفالة (kafala) is the same as that in نظام الكفالة niẓām al-kafāla. Migrant workers and adoption of children are two quite different topics. There's a claim of an islamic jurisprudence link between the two topics - see Talk:Islamic_adoptional_jurisprudence#Merge, but that doesn't justify a merge. It does justify adding some references to justify the historical link between the two topics... Boud (talk) 21:16, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The link is in fact interesting: it suggests that the adult migrant workers are under Islamic law considered to be minors. Boud (talk) 21:17, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

rm cn tag

The July 2015 tag for adding more citations looks like it was not valid back in July 2015, and it is not valid now! Please add specific Template:citation needed tags on sentences or facts that need citations. Or even better, find some WP:RS to support the claims or to support corrected claims of facts.

App shows South African Apartheid sign

When viewing the article on the Android app, it shows a sign from Apartheid South Africa. Anyone have any idea why this is and how we can fix it? Antigravity711 (talk) 20:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers Wrong

According to these sources the numbers are 30m NOT 2.5m in GCC nations, with wage theft rates and other forms of exploitation at near 40%. Also, why the strange reference to Israel. I'm Chomskian on Israel, but it is irrelevant and indicative of a non-scholarly pathological comparative interest to even mention Israel. Why not then mention all exploitive labor systems? People can read about exploited labor in a general article and come here to read about the Kafala System.
