[edit] terrorist

Can someone check is it the proper way to use the word terrorist in Wikipedia rules? Also, al Queda links are under dispute in the reference, not 100% sure, as I read in the 1st reference.Ayasi 22:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

For phrasing using terrorist, you must say it has been designated. Simply stating that it is a terrorist organization violates WP:WTA. The links to Al-Qaeda are unclear, but rarely disputed. The dispute over the ties should be expanded. KazakhPol 02:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] United Nations designation

This week, the United States joined China in persuading the United Nations to add the group to its global watch list - a step that a Chinese spokesman trumpeted here today as "an encouraging result from China's cooperation with the United States and other countries in fighting terrorism." Announcing the United Nations designation in Washington today, Philip T. Reeker, a State Department spokesman, said: "The East Turkestan Islamic Movement is a violent group believed responsible for committing numerous acts of terrorism in China, including bombings of buses, movie theaters, department stores, markets and hotels; assassination; and arson."

[edit] Expansion

I have expanded the article a bit. All referenced with reliable sources, unlike some other dubious sources cited previously. The article still lacks a historical background to the contemporary developments.cs 22:07, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History

The "history" section of this page has nothing to do with the history of the ETLO and should be renamed or removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmriley (talk • contribs) 20:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
