complete rewrite, copyvio should be addressed. --tickle me 19:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed neutrality

This is not a neutral article about the subject. All the information seems to derive directly from the subject's own website. Neutral and reliable sources for the subject need to be cited and documented for the article. As it currently is, this article appears to be an advertisement for the organization not an encyclopedia article. --NYScholar 20:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neutrality is not an issue at this time

A lack of sources is not sufficient grounds to dispute the neutrality of an article. The article is, after all, defined at this time as a "stub-class" article, meaning that it is a place-holder for a full and detailed article to follow. This has nothing to do with an article's neutrality. In fact, the current stub merely states undisputable facts, namely, that the SPME organization exists, and its mission and members are as declared in the article.

If and when the article is expanded, there may then be opportunities for readers such as NYScholar to dispute its neutrality. -- Ehad Haam, July 31, 2007

I ran across this article and will try to add some information. Bigglove^talk 22:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, I added a few cites from RS about the organizations activities against an academic boycott. I don't think the article is not neutral, I agree with Ehad Hamm above, I'm removing the tag. Please feel free to add critical stuff to the article also. Bigglove^talk 23:05, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
