[edit] Jamaot

This reference [1] (albeit appearntly biased) may shed some light on the relationship between Jamaot/JIG & IMU. AndrewRT - Talk 21:55, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

This article seems to consist mainly of disjointed single sentences. Can sombody either link them or flesh them out into full paragraphs? And also, we need to make up our minds on what the movement is called. The article starts by saying that it is now called the Islamic Movement of Turkestan, and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan is an old name, but for the rest of the article it is called IMU.

[edit] responsible use of tags

Somebody keeps applying the {{NPOV}} tag to this article — but without initiating a discussion here on the talk page, where they offer an explanation of their concern. The {{NPOV}} tag, like many other related tags, tells readers to look to the talk page for a discussion of why the article has been tagged.

We aren't mindreaders. We shouldn't have to guess as to why another wikipedian has tagged an article.

I agree with KazakhPohl here, the repeated application of tags, without fulfilling the obligation to explain their reasoning, is indistinguishable from vandalism.

I have written about this, in more detail, here.
