Request Information

 * Request made by: Dave 06:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * People's Mujahedin of Iran


 * Who's involved?
 * User:Dmoss, User:Amoruso


 * What's going on?
 * User:Amoruso does not think it is appropriate to describe the People's Mujahedin of Iran as a terrorist organisation in the introductory paragraph, preferring instead to use weasel words to achieve the same objective. User:Dmoss prefers to leave no doubt the People's Mujahedin of Iran is a terrorist organisation by stating that fact, with strong references, in the introductory paragraph.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * User:Dmoss would prefer his own version of the introductory paragraph to remain, or be improved upon, without the use of weasel words to soften the description of the organisation concerned.


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * User:Dmoss would be happy if this issue were resolved publicly. The discussion page of the article concerned would be fine. There are already  some exchanges on that page to get the process underway.
