Talk:Al Wefaq

[edit] Anti-Al Wefaq bias

This article is heavily biased against Al Wefaq. It looks like Bahrain government propaganda trying to denigrate Al Wefaq. --Sadadi 18:33, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Misunderstanding of the term POV, which is not the same as bias. Please refer to the wiki article, WP:POV, on the use of POV before citing this.

The immediate reference to conspiracy theory to justify the POV is the default Middle East response to an anything that goes on in the region - be it a war or seemingly the editing of a wiki page. Grow up.

Do you mean to say that this isn't POV? :

However Al-Wefaq did put forward candidates for the municipal elections that same year - giving an indication of the type of policies that Al Wefaq MPs will pursue when they enter parliament in this year's elections after the party announced that it was ending its election boycott.

This is your "point of view" about the future, not NPOV

If this is the justification for describing the article as NPOV then this demonstrates a failure to understand the meaning of the term. It is not a POV assertion that a party's current policies give an indication of its future policies, especially if it continues with the same rhetoric and ideology. Every single political party in the world is assessed on the nature of its current policies - and these are taken to give an indication of its future policies. It is a perfectly reasonable statement to make - indeed it is a statement of the obvious.

Therefore removed POV. Rick James Style 12:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

The article isn't biased, it simply states the actions of the group. It's not our fault that the only info we could find was on actions commonly considered racist and sexist. --Calibas 04:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

This article is completely biased! I am from Bahrain and i know for a fact this is complete utter bull, 1,500?? their demonstrations are 10s of thousands! every single village in Bahrain supports them! and about the underwear hanging on cloths line and the naked lingerie manneiquins it was prompted by Salafist Islamist in the Parliament, Jassim Al Saeedi, just fast google it, and the list goes on and on, oh and the main history of how we got the new "elections" is crap too, it makes it sound as if the king forgived all those who caused violenced to start a new page instead of the real story, he had presure to do so and he made a law to "protect" all the police that took part in torturing hundreds of Bahrainis. check ur facts, this is ridiculous. - Sorry this is the first time i ever post something like this here and no nothing of the guidelines, just had to do :).
