[edit] External Links at the End

There are two sets of external links in the article, with the second set mainly refering to Elijah Muhammad instead of Warith Muhammad. I think the links should be combined into one section and they should more closely focus on the person who is actually the subject of the article. Everyguy 18:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reads Like Self Promotion

the whole page sounds like a fan boy wrote it...

needs to be re written--Bijun 00:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

• Yep, definitely some NPOV issues going on this article. Themalau 05:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concern with promotion

The language used in this article strongly indicates a biased viewpoint. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.40.181.69 (talk) 00:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plagiarism

I just came across this artcle so I don't know how long it's been there, but I just deleted this sentence:

Warith Deen Muhammad thanks you for plagiarizing this article from http://www.micgh.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=89&Itemid=126 .

The mid-section of the article is virtually cut and paste from the site mentioned. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 22:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

• It does look like some of the article was taken from that web site. I removed some of that content but haven't gotten all of it out yet. However, this article has been on Wikipedia over three years, so if we go back through the edit history we should eventually be able to find a version which did not copy from that page. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BLP

Unfortunately, the version that has been reverted to has only a single source for a single quote. As per WP:BLP this fails and needs to be cleared and rewritten using sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixthepedia (talk • contribs) 14:48, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

• Most of the content in this article is not contentious and therefore does not need to be removed per WP:BLP. Furthermore, your recent edit identified W. Deen Mohammed as a leader of the Nation of Islam, when in fact it has been something like 30 years since Mohammed's organization was called the Nation of Islam. The article does need to be sourced but cutting out almost all the information is not needed. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
