[edit] Should Article Have Info on Where To Report This Man if Seen?
It seems like it would be helpful to give the public some way to report any sightings of this individual.

- No, we are an encyclopaedia, not a "terrorist catching group" - we have no interest in what you do if you think you see someone that looks like him. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 20:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
You use the word 'we' very presumptively. You do not represent the entire Wikipedia community-- you only represent yourself.
Any civilized person would want to report a nuclear terrorist to the authorities. Such reporting does not conflict at all with Wikipedia's mission.
In fact nuclear terrorism is a huge threat to everything that Wikipedia stands for.

- I use the term "we" to refer to Wikimedia Foundation as a group. Not to the individuals that comprise it. "You" may support John McDonald for President, but Wikimedia Foundation does not care who the President is. Sherurcij (Speaker for the Dead) 19:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

- Perhaps a link to the official webpage containing the FBI's "wanted" poster. Not only is that not in conflict with Wikipedia's neutrality, but actually adds to the article. I will add it unless anyone here objects. –Gravinos (To each their own* *as long as they leave me alone.) 02:22, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Request Removal of Last Two External Links...
Having reviewed the website to which the last two external links point, I feel that they should be removed—or at least put into a separate section of links. The website in question Crusade Media, claims to be a news site, and its main page does indeed contain a list of articles. Most of these articles, however, have no bylines and a number of them have no dateline. Also, most of the articles exhibit considerable bias and a few of them are wild rumors (i.e.–US launching an attack against Iran next week, followed immediately by Indications US Will Launch Attack on Iran in April; both stories dated from earlier this year—although only the latter article contains a proper dateline).
When external links appear in a Wikipedia article, it gives the impression that the information presented in the linked-to site(s) is in addendum to that article. Since the majority of the info on the aforementioned website is dubious at best, I propose that the two links to it be either removed, or placed in a separate section of links that is labeled to indicate their doubtful nature. So, if no one on this talk-page voices an objection in the next couple of days, I will delete them. –Gravinos (To each their own* *as long as they leave me alone.) 01:29, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- PS–The fact the title of the website is Crusade Media, should be a good clue to any well-informed person that any news/analysis contained on this site is likely to be biased. –Gravinos (To each their own* *as long as they leave me alone.) 01:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
- UPDATE: I have commented out the two links instead of deleting them. If anyone has any objections then contact me, and I will then uncomment them and resume discussion.
