[edit] Criticism
The Criticism section needs a total rewrite. Definitely. 71.141.127.196 00:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The criticism section is extremely biased. Neutral Wikipedians are requested to rewrite that section without the heavily biased approach of the current criticism section.
I agree, the section needs a complete rewrite, but can some one at least remove some pointless paragraphs? for example the one about the very big big critic? ExE 00:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly I agree too. I have reworked a few paragraphs, but I think most is in dire need to rewording. I think the use of "blatant" such as in blatently false etc etc should be removed where ever possible. We are not here to make judgements, it is for 3rd party sources to do that. We only tell, what others tell. Thus, the language should change to something like this, example: in the view of so and so, many allegations are deemed to be false. I advise others to read the wikipedia NPOV for more information and clarification. --Waqas1987 01:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
