Pirate Party (Iceland)
Sorry that this message is probably in the wrong place, but I can't see where suggestions around articles within the scope of the Portal need to go. Anyway....the Pirate Party of Iceland (Piratar) is consistently polling way above all other parties in that country and has been for a year or more. Iceland is a particularly interesting country, as in it grew big banks which did crazy things, just as they did elsewhere, but they decided to let them all go bust, not like anywhere else. The banks were too big to prop up and not considered to be too big to fail. The next General Election will be held in 2017. All of this makes Iceland a phemonally interesting case, IMO, for those of us who are interested in politics and economics. Back to the article. It is currently rated low priority. Clearly this rating needs to change. Further, the article needs a major update, (1) for the same reason, and (2) because there is virtually nothing to it at the moment as far as policies ar concerned, for example. Also, you don't have to know Icelandic to do this work. :-) The info on their policies is all set out on their official website, English version. I'll probably have a go myself, but who knows, you might ge there before me.  Thanks for reading (if you have! haha) Boscaswell   talk  11:39, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Free Palestine Movement page (bias)
Complaint about the bias in Wikipedia’s apparent insistence to portray the ‘Free Palestine Movement’ as a 16 year old Syrian-Palestinian armed group no one has heard of, rather than the Palestinian struggle against colonialism (a long-standing resistance movement which crosses political lines and ideologies, not limited to a single armed group of dubious standing) which goes back 100+ years and is the most accurate, dominant and internationally recognised understanding of the term ‘Free Palestine Movement.’ The current article is misleading the general public, non-compliant with Wikipedia’s NPOV Policy and undermining Wikipedia’s credibility. The factual accuracy, neutrality and compliance with Wikipedia’s NPOV Policy of the current Free Palestine Movement article are all disputed but instead of letting those tags stand until the dispute is resolved as required by Wikipedia guidelines, the tags I have added to the article noting these concerns are simply deleted repeatedly by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vif12vf (who has threatened me with being blocked from editing three times based on accusations of ‘disruptive’ editing and ‘vandalism’). I have tried to resolve this matter through the talk page, to no avail. I therefore call on other Wikipedia editors and subject matter experts to intervene. The solution is in my view simple: instead of gagging dissent and undermining objectivity, allow both the thoroughly researched and professionally written article I have proposed (and which has been published on Wikipedia but which https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vif12vf has repeatedly taken down) for ‘Free Palestine Movement’ (available here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/906040376) and the existing ‘Free Palestine Movement’ page (WITH disputed accuracy, neutrality and POV tags) to stand, and introduce a disambiguation page. The solution is not to silence the truth, however uncomfortable it is, but to encourage and harness multi-dimensional contributions and allow them to flourish. The NPOV Policy is clear. It can’t be one rule for some and another rule for others. 17:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgraham1956 (talk • contribs)

Forgot to add: this is a RfC due to non-compliance with the NPOV Policy, lack of neutrality, unbalanced content and unsubstantiated statements which are undermining Wikipedia.17:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgraham1956 (talk • contribs)
