==Classifications of groups== section isn't what the title says.

The majority of it is law suits against the organisation and criticism. I've moved the content to the correct subsection of the article. Alexandre8 (talk) 23:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Marxism/Communism

The SPLC is a far left Marxist organization. They are Anti-American and try to stifle the speech of patriots that they and Wiki label far right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:690D:300:2D8E:FC10:8333:31AA (talk) 21:26, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're just trapped in an echo chamber that uses refuses to allow political dissent. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:12, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

RNC officially condemns SPLC

It is weird that this locked article has yet to include major resolution officially adopted by one of the two major US parties. I guess the wp:Cabals on wikipedia keep fighting for the "right side of history" by ignoring one the core founding principles of wikipedia, wp:NPOV: Republican National Committee delegates have approved a resolution condemning the Southern Poverty Law Center, calling the legal advocacy group dedicated to fighting extremism "a far-left organization with an obvious bias." [1][2]. 2601:602:9200:1310:B458:2F73:854C:6B3 (talk) 03:43, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not particularly weird that no one has added a little covered story from five days ago. TFD (talk) 05:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you have something you'd like to see included in the article, feel free to propose a specific set of words here and we can see if there is consensus for including them. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:04, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is odd this has not been added. Whether or not this was “little covered,” it significantly calls into question the SPLC’s image as an objective institution. Users cannot edit because this page has been locked a long time and without expiration. If this doesn’t get remedied promptly, I will report this up. Odoylerules22288 (talk) 05:12, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuits and criticism against the SPLC

The inclusion of Ayaan Hirsi Ali as an anti-muslim extremist by SPLC has been omitted, so I propose the following wording:

In October 2016, the SPLC published its "Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists", which listed among others, Somali refugee and feminist activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, British activist Maajid Nawaz and a nonprofit group he founded, the Quilliam Foundation. ^[1] ^[2]

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Luchofraga (talk • contribs) 12:49, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The lawsuit is already extensively covered in the article, although Hirsi Ali is not mentioned. TFD (talk) 13:05, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is important for everyone to know that a human rights activist and feminist was like Ayaan Hirsi Ali was labeled as an anti-muslim extremist, just because she speaks in favor of LGBT rights and woman rights in the muslim world. This was widely criticized by both liberals like Tom Lantos ^[3] and conservatives like Carol M. Swain ^[1]. Luchofraga (talk) 13:27, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
