Galileo?

[edit]

Should I add Galielo, from Italy, as a famous example? Billvoltage 22:14, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

spreading

[edit]

The "history" section says that house arrest "id not become a widespread alternative to imprisonment until electronic monitoring devices made it inexpensive and easy to manage". I think that this is a very strong statement and I can't find a reference for it; based on my knowledge of my life context, it even seems false. Also, I don't know how many countries actually use electronic bracelet on house arrest, and how this is considered a prerequisite.

I flagged it with

{{Where}}

but I propose to entirely rewrite it based on sources.

Paul in Acts of the Apostles

[edit]

If anyone is interested, the situation of Paul (in Rome) in the Acts of the Apostles could be added.--216.15.48.37 (talk) 01:22, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Add Andrew Tate under a Romania section?

[edit]

Should Andrew Tate's notable house arrest in Romania be added in a subsection, as a contemporary example? 123.243.118.76 (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

“Listicle”

[edit]

Recently, the list of popular cases was removed, should it not be put up to a vote; it was a long section. Evenite's User Page (talk) 03:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the change for now because I agree, it's appropriate to have a discussion instead of just wholesale deleting a huge chunk of the article. I think it should at least be reduced to "notable instances". Garnet-Septagon (talk) 05:04, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Hipal Your response? 2600:100C:A213:E54D:99B1:77D8:9226:50B6 (talk) 22:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why I was pinged here.
In my experience with many similar lists and articles, in order to avoid NOT and POV problems it is best to keep such lists very short with a high bar for inclusion. I don't see any obvious inclusion criteria for this article. Any need for a explanatory content with a list entry might indicate a problematic entry, especially if it's lengthy, which is the case for many entries here. --Hipal (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Possible inclusion criteria: The house arrest was a major event in the person's life, beyond that the person was confined/restricted for the time period, or the house arrest of the person resulted in a notable event.
Basically, the house arrest directly resulted in notable events in the life of the person or others. --Hipal (talk) 18:22, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
