Talk:Institute for Strategic Dialogue

Check for Corporate Sockpuppetry
The stilted, bizarre corporate doublespeak throughout this article reads as if it were taken directly from marketing materials. Either that or someone had a stroke which rendered them incapable of communicating in plain English. Whoever produced this ought to be checked for sockpuppetry. And legally required to keep 200 meters from a thesaurus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.17.241 (talk) 06:09, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

If the ISD was yet another electronic toy
I think that main article would be plastered with CITATION tags and this reads like an advert The bifracating spew of organization based acronyms replete with the jargon of mind control, well er looks like mind control?<br

We must redouble our efforts to be extra vigilant at all times against the forces which oppose us, but we must be ever so careful to never say what opposes us! Ah they eat tomatoes and carrots, obviously against us, but we must never say RED VEG That the ocelots flesh is a sign of God's beneficence to some and a crime beyond the pale (yes I am eng glazey) to others ticks the box marked MAYBE And so we end up with? A field of MAYBE's each one armed with a stinging barb, witness blackboard and motherboard That is right, you find offence in black skin and women with children, you celebrate nothing that is human

I'd like to repair this entry to avoid deletion
I've watched this entry for many years hoping someone would update it or correct it. I thought that if no one else would do it, then I would like to try, even though I'm affiliated with the organisation. I'm happy to have removed anything considered inaccurate or misleading. zahed (talk) 18:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * If you're affiliated with the subject, then the best approach is to suggest edits here on the talk page and let other users review/incorporate them. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:32, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I will put more suggestions here if any come up but will leave it to others to clean up the existing entry. If there are issues with citations, please let me know and I will see if more appropriate citations exist. zahed (talk) 12:31, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

COI tag (December 2023)
Some editors of the page, like, are employees of the organization; in general, the tenor of the article resembles that of an advertisement or a PR release jp×g🗯️ 15:41, 23 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, as seen in the previous discussion, I have indeed publicly declared a personal connection to the subject of this article and stepped in to edit it only because the article was scheduled for deletion in October 2022. I'll propose further edits here on the talk page instead of editing the article directly as suggested to me in that discussion. zahed (talk) 16:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
