Any groups that make such a statement must be unaware of what the amendment actually says. You not only need sources, you need to show that they meet WP:UNDUE. Doug Weller (talk) 04:52, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of terrorism in left and right wing politics articles

[edit]

I restored the section on right wing terrorism to right-wing politics as we are not going to censor coverage of a genuine topic just because some people on the right feel it casts taint on them. That is not what it is intended to do and any legitimate concerns along those lines can be addressed by improving the section, I have also argued in favour of a similar short section on left wing terrorism on the left-wing politics article. I see that you tried to add one. Yours was commendably short but too early in the article and not really helpful as it didn't do much to introduce the subject. I assume it was removed for reasons along those lines. You would do better to try again there than to remove the section on right-wing politics again as that looks a lot like WP:POINTy editing. Maybe suggest a wording on the article's talk page first. The key point here is that neither article should either over-cover the terrorism aspect of the subject or ignore it completely. In neither case should the mention of terrorism be used to spread taint over the whole ideology. Giving terrorism too much prominence in the article or putting it in too prominent a place could give that impression, whether that is intended or not. These are sensitive topics and getting these things right is not easy. Suggesting changes on the talk page is the best way. What eventually goes in the articles may not be exactly what you suggest but so long as we can work towards getting something succinct, coherent and fair into both articles then that breaks the deadlock and moves us in the right direction. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:23, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your edits on political terrorism:
Your addition to Left-wing politics: "Noticed that the right wing politics had a terrorism portion and the left wing politics did not. This portion is a fact and necessary for all to have accurate information." [21:05, 20 December 2016][1]
Your deletion from Right-wing politics: "Just like left wing politics doesn't mention anything about terrorism it should be in the same uniform. Every time a left wing politics sees addition to left wing terrorism it comes down. So, it is good for a goose it's good for a gander." Revision as of 18:07, 15 January 2017][2]
This is a clear violation of the behavioral guideline, "Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point" and you can be blocked for this type of editing.
