[edit] Imbalance in article

This page now at least has some history to counter-recruitment, since I added the information from Cortright. But it's still badly biased towards U.S. (anti-)military counter-recruitment, leaving off not only actions against corporations that have been part of the global justice movement, but any and all actions in countries other than the U.S. Kalkin 21:09, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi all. I've tried to add some items in the criticism section. Hope we can balance things out. The decoy 01:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of criticism to counter-recruitment

This page is severely biased as do not show any criticism to counter-recruitment --81.202.158.49 09:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

It is true, this page does not show any criticism to counter recruitment, it is also true it doesn't say anywhere that counter-recruitment is a good thing, or implies this is in anyway.

The article is not biased, it is NPOV. - Ryan 1711 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.6.16 (talk) 15:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

This article is completely biased. Referring to the mission in Afghanistan as "occupation" is clearly a POV position. The decoy 00:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)decoy

The article is also rife with weasel words. Removed some "weasel words" from the Canadian section. The decoy (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Link

Reference number 7 is broken: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13369468/ I can't find a mirror of this article on Google. Anyone know of a similar study? John Holden (talk) 15:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:You-can't-be-all-that-you-can-be-if-you're-dead.jpg

Image:You-can't-be-all-that-you-can-be-if-you're-dead.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
