Good Article about MEK

LONG MARCH OF THE YELLOW JACKETS: HOW A ONE-TIME TERRORIST GROUP PREVAILED ON CAPITOL HILL BY ALI GHARIB AND ELI CLIFTON

Another mention:

More false nuclear allegations

Unfortunately, I can't edit the article myself. But the section "Iran's nuclear program" abruptly stops in 2012. MEK has made more false allegations of the same nature, including for example the "Lavizan-3" claims that have been debunked publicly. Here are several sources for this.

Lead Clean

The lead needs to be revised to follow Wikipedias guidelines (MOS:LEAD). There are NPOV issues that should be addressed. I will add the appropriate template at the top of the page. DirectAttrition (talk) 19:53, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's not enough. You need to be specific about what NPOV issues exist, or the tag would be deemed spurious. El_C 22:04, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Too much detail is given on some specific aspects. In addition, some of the information in the lead is not included in the body of the article, giving undue weight to those items. I feel the information included in the lead could be summarized better and written more from a neutral point of view. DirectAttrition (talk) 18:05, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "some of the information"? Pahlevun (talk) 12:38, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Material in the lead, particularly historical information, does provide balanced view points. Extra details are not necessary to include in the lead because it is intended to be a summary. DirectAttrition (talk) 20:10, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pahlevun, I noticed Wikipedia:Don't hijack references is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline. I feel a revert of the entire edit and without prior discussion was not warranted. DirectAttrition (talk) 22:02, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to read Wikipedia:Verifiability and find out about it. Pahlevun (talk) 12:11, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

According to the Article's website date of establishment was 1344 not 1322. I cannot fix this due to locked article. This is the correct logo.Gharouni^Talk 13:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Ownership and edit-warring

Looking at the history of this article, it seems pretty clear that one editor is reverting anything he doesn't like, and this situation has gone on for some time. The reasons for keeping this troubled article in its current state seem rather thin. --Pete (talk) 04:36, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hired Hecklers (MEK)

Hi User:Skyring. You removed Kenneth R. Timmerman's article because it was not a reliable source. I checked the Free Republic link and found that it is originally published on FrontPage Magazine. [5] Is it OK for you to replace the source or you still think it would be unreliable? Pahlevun (talk) 18:24, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be more of the same. We can't use blogs and discussion boards for an encyclopaedia. We need reliable sources. --Pete (talk) 18:30, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not when it is attributed to the author who is an expert. (WP:NEWSBLOG) I filed for comment at Reliable sources noticeboard. Pahlevun (talk) 18:50, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NEWSBLOG covers blogs published by news outlets. Creating a blog and calling it a news outlet is not the same. --Pete (talk) 22:21, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 7 June 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected redirect at People's Mujahedin of Iran. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

On 19 August 2003, MEK bombed the United Nations compound in Iraq, prompting UN withdrawal from the country.[119]

The above line is false: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_Hotel_bombing 2602:306:32FF:A550:4862:2E30:380:184F (talk) 13:09, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide more specifics on the change you are requesting? Also, can you please provide additional sources to verify this? LPW22 (talk) 17:04, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tehran attacks

I removed the Tehran Twin Attacks paragraph because the "suspected involvement of other actors, including MEK" is not verified by multiple reliable sources. Please see WP:RS for more information. BulkData (talk) 15:25, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
