Good day, Please help me clean up this article. Most of it is copy from a brochure published by the estate of this personality. I removed some redundant information and added some up to date material. many thanks 68.165.19.176 06:21, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

The article is clearly biased. More statments such as "it is believed" and " his followers believe" for example, should be used in the article.

I agree. There is no balance in the article and the writer admiration of the person can be clearly read. --Scafloc 13:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Most of the syncophantic commentary can go. If I find that I visit wikipedia a lot then I'll have a chance to improve it. Fistful of dynamite 09:26, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

The rewriting of this article is ridiculous. You don't need to add "his followers believe" five times, every time the article says something positive about the man. Clean it up by letting one "his followers believe" cover all. Tafama (talk) 13:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I've added some headings, some sourced material of bad things happening to his followers and eliminated some POV. --BoogaLouie 20:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Admiration does not necessarily lead to bias. In fact, volumes must be written about this personality for whole world to benefit and learn from this great leader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.36.32.9 (talk) 11:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV

In the section discussing the "bad things" that happened to his followers, there is clear bais; What are the reasons of holding the followers in jail? what was the misconduct that was done by the followers? were the authorties arresting for no reason? that would not make sense and thus a clear reason should be stated as well the other sides p.o.v since the p.o.v of the followers is clearly stated (note: "unpleasentness") i.e the Authorities' reasons should also be mentioned and the reader should be allowed to come to a conclusion whether it was justified or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.187.206.209 (talk) 06:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The tag has been removed. There is nothing POV about quoting a reputible NGO. Refering to "beaten during arrest and tortured in detention" as "unpleasantness" is NOT POV. If you can find the "other side" go ahead and add it to the article. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:42, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
