Talk:Imperial Klans of America

several modern?

This statement looks like original research. Are there any sources for this article? Ste4k 05:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flip to any recent book on the Klan in your local library and you will find all the references you could want. silsor 04:48, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They need to be cited here for the sake of the article. Ste4k 12:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The IKA is not Conservative

According to the only source listed in this article, "We are not conservatives, as we despise them. A conservative is someone who only seeks to conserve what is left and will usually call a compromise that only slightly weakens us a "victory."" Ste4k 17:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What does the IKA say about liberals? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.241.245.245 (talk • contribs)

Well, I suggest checking the external link. You are welcome to help write this article and it would be great if you would create a username for yourself for easy recognition. I haven't had much time to dig into this article yet, and am still participating in prelimary discussion on the the main page. Wikipedia would certainly welcome another new addition. :) Ste4k 17:42, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus Christ!

The Gangland special showed a most confusing and amusing scene: the IKK members solemnly praying to Jesus around their burning cross, next to a burning swastika, culminated with a round of stiff-armed salutes. Yes, they were giving a Jew the Nazi salute. I laughed so hard I was at risk of becoming a fatality of their organization... can anyone explain? Wnt (talk) 07:57, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fair question worth answering, citing a source though not a readily available one. You've followed me from an edit war where you suppressed widely sourced information to an article you never edited - do you plan to offer anything but more misinterpretations of policy?

From WP:FORUM:

Please try to stay on the task of creating an encyclopedia. You can chat with people about Wikipedia-related topics on their user talk pages, and should resolve problems with articles on the relevant talk pages, but please do not take discussion into articles. In addition, bear in mind that talk pages exist for the purpose of discussing how to improve articles; they are not mere general discussion pages about the subject of the article, nor are they a helpdesk for obtaining instructions or technical assistance. If you wish to ask a specific question on a topic, Wikipedia has a Reference desk, and questions should be asked there rather than on talk pages. Wikipedians who wish to hold casual discussions with fellow Wikipedians can use the IRC channels, such as #wikipedia. Note that this is an IRC channel, not a message board. There are also a number of early-stage projects that attempt to use a wiki for discussion and debate

Your comment appears to fall into this category. Soxwon (talk) 02:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Drug arrest of Imperial Wizard

Ron Edwards and his girlfriend were arrested for possession of hydrocodone and methamphetamine. At the same time, another man was arrested for possession of marijuana. That information, however accurate and intentionally defamatory (sourced from the Anti-Defamation League, no less), is not relevant to this article. If you want the information to be included in Wikipedia, create an article about Ron Edwards (Imperial Wizard of the IKA). The actions of an individual do not put a spotlight on the group as a whole, and nothing in the sourced material indicates that the arrest or drugs were tied to the Klan, itself. It only mentions Edwards' ties to the Klan. Therefore, the information is irrelevant to this article. Whether it were a stub or not, you wouldn't put a line about Watergate in United States Government, unless you were attempting to create a bias. Nor is there a reference to Marion Barry's 1990 arrest in the article about Washington, D.C.. I'm removing the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.51.31.120 (talk) 12:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact, the sourced material doesn't say ANYTHING about the arrest other than that it happened. The rest is anti-Klan literature. I don't know that such a biased source is even acceptable per WP:IRS. It is information about a living person, so a greater degree of scrutiny is required, and, again, it is blatantly biased information coming from an opponent of the organization. 174.51.31.120 (talk) 12:29, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SPLC references

I have to take additional issue with the SPLC's newsletter being used as a source about the court case's ultimate verdict. WP:SPS is unmistakably clear about self-published sources in this situation. This source provides self-serving information that is WP:Exceptional in that it is a surprising or apparently important claim not covered by multiple mainstream sources. The only information I can find about the outcome of this case is from that one particular newsletter. I find it odd that they would publish the outcome of such a large case with an appeal six months after the verdict has been passed. Regardless of the factual nature of the statement, I am removing the source and rewording the statement with a citation needed tag until someone can find an acceptable source per WP:Source.174.51.31.120 (talk) 13:45, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be a couple sources from SPLC. None of them are acceptable. They are all sources from an opponent organization, they are self-serving, are written in an editorial fashion with no evidence to support the authors' claims, and are unverifiable in the mainstream media. In the words of the Daleks: delete, delete, delete. 174.51.31.120 (talk) 14:12, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hal Turner's involvement

It should probably be indicated in the article in a manner consistent with Wikipedia guidelines that it is now known that Hal Turner was working undercover among such racial groups for the FBI in an anti-terror capacity. Going to the article on Hal Turner will confirm this easily, but there is no way to tell that from this article alone.2A00:C1A0:4893:AD00:5D33:A903:314A:8606 (talk) 20:32, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
