Sources

Please use real sources, not blogs (you actually used "Alex Constantine's Blacklist" as a source lol), "the exile" or the Voltaire Network. Remember this is an encyclopedia, not your blog. Thanks, Ostap 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The exile is not a blog, nor is the voltaire network. Both of those are legitimate publications with wide recognition. The other blog you're referring to was just a copy/paste of a reuters article, and I did replace that one with the original article. Please explain your removal of material or I will reinsert it in due time. If you still have a problem with either of those sources, you can bring it up at the reliable sources noticeboard, but otherwise I will reinsert them per WP:NPOV and WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

The Voltaire Network is an inaccurate source. It is an extremist source. The section which cites it is opinion and not fact. Please edit this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trentboden (talk • contribs) 06:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the same time, Belorussian Roman Protasevich is only a blogger but is treated as if he were a serious journalist. In my book, a journalist is someone who answers to an editor and gets paid, indirectly by the people who buy the publication. Blogging is a hobby. We might need to make a decision where we stand. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:A96A:4197:190:66A1 (talk) 07:09, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Geimer." Who's this?

Geimer appears in the Founding section w/o any previous or subsequent reference. I googled it and found nothing relevant.

Explain who this is or rewrite the sentence for clarity.63.138.70.132 (talk) 18:06, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Philby Burgess" in the Criticism section

This is misspelled & unreferenced.

It should be fixed by going here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Burgess & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Philby 63.138.70.132 (talk) 18:32, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, Philby died in 1988 (source: Wikipedia) and Burgess in 1963 (ditto). The Exile article by "Philby Burgess" appeared in 2002. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.182.118.242 (talk) 08:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The exile magazine is cited in the section I deleted. This is not a credible source. It is a Russian tabloid. Furthermore it cites two sources who died more than twenty years ago, despite the article appearing in 2002. Please refrain from reposting it. It is factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trentboden (talk • contribs) 18:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who works there? Who gets grants from it? Who funds it? And how do their agendas influence the output of the foundation? These are the sorts of questions that are brought out in proper criticism sections. At present, the criticism section is very "tilted." Some poor criticisms are brought out and then dismissed. This is not a serious criticism section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.12.203.30 (talk) 23:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updating

At the moment "Current activities" includes the phrase "As of 2008", the most recent reference in "Media coverage" is to 2010 and in "Criticism" to 2009 despite there having been numerous edits since then. Is't it time for some updating? Mcljlm (talk) 18:56, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Funding?

We do not know if that Foundation needs a lot of funds, but some it would need.

It is not appropriate that organisations exist in the political space who do not say where their funding comes from. "Whose bread I eat, whose song I sing" applies to NGOs as well, maybe not strongly, but it does.

If Russia declared them as unwelcome in 2020, they would have operated there. That costs money and where that comes from should not be concealed. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:A96A:4197:190:66A1 (talk) 06:38, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Conservative?" How exactly?

This is a kind reminder that the Foundation tends to attract Liberal Hawks like the one who tried to blame the USSR for the Iranian revolution, his name is in the piece. It is also a beacon for Russia-haters, Arab-haters, Sinophobes, Iran-haters, Armenphobes, and Closeted PanTuranists. So how in the world is the term "conservative" being invoked here? It is not "conservative," it is imperialist and militarist, that is all.
