[edit] Reversion

I reverted the last two edits. The previous edit was lifter word-for-word from [1]. The edit before had a POV which was very much biased against the group. Yahnatan 14:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NCRI = MEK = MKO = ...?

i suggest people have a look through DC Court of Appeals Rules Against NCRI Petition for Review of "Foreign Terrorist Organization" Designation and maybe also http://www.fas.org/irp/world/para/mek.htm (i haven't put this second one in the article, since i haven't used any info from it, and it's better to go to primary sources rather than secondary or N-ary sources if possible). If we were to take the FBI info as itself NPOV facts, then we could, in principle, merge the NCRI and MEK articles. However, since i'm sure this would be controversial, especially since MEK/NCRI supporters clearly don't agree (after all, the DC Court of Appeals text shows that the NCRI went to great lengths to claim that even if MEK is a terrorist organisation, NCRI is not an "alias" for MEK, so on those grounds cannot be counted as terrorist since it's a wide coalition of which only one member organisation is terrorist, and it just happens that the leaders of that single terrorist organisation are the leaders of the whole, wide coalition. IMHO not terribly convincing, but anyway, that's just a POV.) Anyway, i don't see any huge necessity of merging the two articles. Let people present externally referenced, preferably relatively "primary" sourced references and present the different POVs in an NPOV manner on the two different pages.

Agreed. One often forgets the WP:YESPOV. - Martinor (talk) 19:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV issue

This page been been taken over by the supporters of MEK, and is far from NPOV. --CreazySuit (talk) 22:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Then I would like you to point out exactly what you consider NPOV, and why, so that we can address the issue properly, and do something about it. If not, the tag will be removed after a reasonable amount of time. - Martinor (talk) 19:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
