Talk:Amir Abbas Fakhravar - Knowledge (XXG)

1932:

sources only suggest that he went to the Knesset to meet with MK Shai Hermesh (Kadima). To use another example, there's a difference between speaking before Congress and going to Congress to speak with one particular Congressman. Siavash777 continues to make changes to make it appear like the former when all of the sources only refer to the latter. The second issue is the controversial issues surrounding the Israeli visit as reported by Haaretz. Siavash777 seeks to remove these issues by simply asserting Haaretz is not a credible publication. That, as noted above, is an argument that must clearly be dismissed as Haaretz is the premier news organization in Israel. The last edits in dispute are those concerning comments by other Iranian political prisoners concerning the veracity of Fakhravar's story concerning his escape from Iran and his status as a political leader in Iran. The comments are incredibly valuable for at least two reasons. First, they are comments from individuals who were imprisoned with Fakhravar in Iran and therefore have first-hand accounts of what occurred. Second, the comments are from recognizable leaders of the Iranian political movement. Finally, to ensure objectivity, following the comments is a retort from Fakhravar himself accusing the commentators of being politically motivated and rejecting their allegations. Altogether, the subject has been written in a balanced way to prevent bias one way or another.

older generation, labor, clerics, village-dwellers, and othersegments. Many in the Office of Consolidation of Unity, the student group thatled the 1999 riots but which has since become controlled by regime loyalists,believes that major reform of the current regime might be acceptable. An offshoot of the Office - the Confederation of Iranian Students (CIS) - believes in regime replacement and consists of pro-American, pro-free market activists. Overall CIS leader, Arzhang Davoodi, convicted in August 2012 of “war against God” which carries life sentence. CIS’ Washington, D.C. presence is led by Amir Abbas Fakhravar, who was jailed for five years for participating in July 1999 student riots." There is nothing in that statement that says Fakhavar was a leader of the Green Movement. Its very clear in what it means and you are completely using it out of context. So I will ask again, do you have any other sources??

1495:

subject's visit to Israel. Further, none of the citations support your contention that the subject spoke to the Knesset (which is the edit you added to the page). All of the articles you cite specifically note that the subject spoke with some Israeli leaders, attended a conference and visited the Knesset to meet with meet with MK Shai Hermesh (Kadima). In that sense, the article is entirely consistent with all of the sources you have noted. As to your last comment, I am willing to agree to the inclusion of a sentence which states "Fakhravar's visit to Israel became the subject of a documentary in Iran which accused him of masterminding the opposition to the Islamist regime on behalf of Israel and the United States."

1477:") In this documentary aired on the official Iranian television channel, the government accuses Amir Fakhravar, President of the Confederation of Iranian Students and Research Fellow with IWP's Center for Culture and Security, of masterminding the opposition to the Islamist regime on behalf of Israel and the United States. While focusing on Fakhravar's high-profile meetings with major Israeli leaders, including his recent address to the Knesset and participation in a major international conference, the video also features footage from an IWP-sponsored conference held at the George Washington University in 2011. I hope these facts will be enough to STOP accusations against Amir Abbas Fakhravar. 1372:") In this documentary aired on the official Iranian television channel, the government accuses Amir Fakhravar, President of the Confederation of Iranian Students and Research Fellow with IWP's Center for Culture and Security, of masterminding the opposition to the Islamist regime on behalf of Israel and the United States. While focusing on Fakhravar's high-profile meetings with major Israeli leaders, including his recent address to the Knesset and participation in a major international conference, the video also features footage from an IWP-sponsored conference held at the George Washington University in 2011. I hope these facts will be enough to STOP accusations against Amir Abbas Fakhravar. 502:") You can see these two individual can not be a good source of information about Amir Abbas Fakhravar. Other witnesses on Mother Jones article against Fakhravar are Nasser Zaraafshan (Marxist-Stalinist) who has a deep ideological problem with Fakhravar. last one is Mohsen Sazegara the founder of Islamic Republic of Iran's Revolutionary Guards who is seeing Fakhravar as a bid competitor for himself. It is unbelievable how a journalist from Mother Jons blog chose these people which non of them are legitimate to talk about Amir Abbas Fakhravar. 1297:") But, Batebi's lawyer Richard Horowitz was sending several emails to Israeli Officials to convince them Amir Abbas Fakhravar is an Agent of Iranian Regime! Horowitz's argument didn't go anywhere and January 2012 Fakhravar had a successful trip to Israel and all these shows Batebi's Lawyer's controversy making on Haaretz could't have success to cancel Fakhravar's trip to Israel. Mentioning this un Factual statement base on lie and rummers is not right. ("Fakhravar's trip to Israel": 3025:

in the Prague conference, because, Adelson said, “he doesn’t want to attack Iran.” According to Dayanim, Adelson referred to another Iranian dissident at the conference, Amir Abbas Fakhravar, whom he said he would like to support, saying, “I like Fakhravar because he says that, if we attack, the Iranian people will be ecstatic.” Dayanim said that when he disputed that assumption Adelson responded, “I really don’t care what happens to Iran. I am for Israel.”"

666:, You want to ignore PBS, BBC, CNN, Fox News, CBN, Washington Post, Washington Times, Daily Telegraph, Jerusalem Post, New York sun, New York Daily News, Front page magazine, VOA, Radio Farda and many other reliable news channels who are calling Amir Abbas Fakhravar a "Hero" and "One of Iranian Student Leaders" and just mention one un-reliable blog called "Mother Jons" who has ideological problem with him as a source to discredit him. This is not right. 732:). Their comments are all relevant since they provide additional context concerning the subject's background. As to comments by Ahmad Batebi, first there is no source to the allegation that he was Iran's intelligence service informant. In fact that comment appears to be defamatory. Second, Batebi was the subject's cellmate in Iran. His opinions and observations concerning the subject in relation to their time in prison are extremely relevant. 1883:

of view. There are two resolutions to this: (1) we integrate the controversial matter into other sections, which I have done; or (2) we remove the material altogether as well as any information derived from secondary sources. If we do #2, it would result in removing nearly 90% of the current page. I suggest (1), but if you would like to proceed with (2) let me know and I will proceed accordingly. But please don't be biased in one direction.

1340:, you will just discredit more and more yourself with these non-sence comments. It is hundreds of articles, interviews, photos and Videos from Amir Abbas Fakhravar's historical and influential trip to Israel January/February 2012 and you are saying it is just a blog. To remind you, you can see the stories about this trip in several following links and then STOP your non-sence accusation. ("1. Ynetnews: Livni meets Iranian opposition member:": 1469:") Several campaigns were started on Facebook and Social media after this interview with the direct message of this interview : We (the Iranians) Love Israel. Israelis Love Iranian, Iranian Loves Israel. ("6. Meeting and Press Conference; MK Tzipi Livni, Head of the Opposition and MK Nachman Shai, Kadima and Amir Abbas Fakhravar, the Secretary General of Confederation of Iranian Students. Herods Hotel, Tel-Aviv, Israel - January 28, 2012: 1364:") Several campaigns were started on Facebook and Social media after this interview with the direct message of this interview : We (the Iranians) Love Israel. Israelis Love Iranian, Iranian Loves Israel. ("6. Meeting and Press Conference; MK Tzipi Livni, Head of the Opposition and MK Nachman Shai, Kadima and Amir Abbas Fakhravar, the Secretary General of Confederation of Iranian Students. Herods Hotel, Tel-Aviv, Israel - January 28, 2012: 335: 514:). The article is also based on a variety of eye-witnesses testimonies. Fourth, to the extent we intend to rely upon Front Page Mag for any assertions, then there's not much of an argument to exclude the contrary position taken in the Mother Jones article. Lastly, all of the accusations listed above are unfounded and in fact sourced to one blog which, coincidentally enough, seems to idolize the subject. 498:") In this article two so-called student activists Ahmad Batebi and Hassan Zarezadeh Ardeshir are saying Fakhravar is Islamic Republic of Iran's agent! It is interesting to now recently some facts showed both of them (Batebi and Zarezadeh) were Islamic Republic of Iran intelligence service's informant for 10 years! Please check this article: "Ahmad Batebi, an informant of Iranian Intelligence Ministry ": 193: 131: 106: 243: 117: 225: 2975:, that Fakhravar has “shown himself to be a charlatan and snake oil salesman willing to say whatever and align himself with whoever is in power to further his abject career”, placing him “amongst the most reprehensible of the dregs of a politically and morally bankrupt bunch who have hitched their wagon to the hope that the Trump administration will lead the US to a war against Iran”. 253: 1669:, these links are working and coming from the United States Congressional Research Service, the most trustful report from united States government. Those are pdf documments and you need to just copy and paste them and see what is inside them. These documents shows how credible, effective and influential are Mr. Fakhravar and his organization inside Iranian Green Movement! User 1938:

and his edits contain similar tone, language and spelling/grammatical mistakes as when the Knowledge (XXG) contributor, "Aafakhravar" made a number of changes. It also appears highly coincidental that Siavash777 only began editing the subject's pager when the contributor "Aafakhravar" was prevented. A comparison of their IP addresses should reveal whether the two are one.

75: 1390:. To clarify, no one is trying to remove the fact that Fakhavar went to Israel and went to a conference. But Haaretz is THE most important publication in Israel. It's the New York Times of Israel. And in its only article on Fakhravar, it highlights Fakhavar's controversial nature. Thats not something to simply dismiss, but must be included in the summary. 706:

Batebi's blog, number , who is known to be Mr Fakhravar's biggest enemy is against wikipedia's policy. Recently it was on the news that Ahmad Batebi was founded Islamic Republic of Iran's intelligence service informant. I am asking wikipedia admins to correct these errors and please don't let some users like Kabirat play with other people's life.

510:. A few problems I see with this argument. First, there's no question there's an ideological slant and questionable reliability on the Front Page Mag article. Second, the Mother Jones article is reliable. It's not a "blog", it's an article written by Laura Rozen, an expert and frequent commentator and journalist on Middle East affairs ( 1004: 141: 1854:

simply repeats the comments of individuals. It's also consistent with numerous other wikipedia pages I've seen which have similar sections. Serious care has been taken to ensure that this information is structured and presented fairly. If you have a recommendation for how to make it more fair, please make it.

1211:

simply because it's not neutral and references are not reliable. And for your information, that's not my taste or idea, it's what wikipedia requires for all articles. So If you really care for the truth to be told here, get to work and make it a better article instead of searching the web for user names and etc.

2655:

Some of the sources is not impartial, some paragraphs has referenced to Amir Fakhravar’s political rivals such as : Zarafshan, Nasrin Mohammadi, Akbar Mohammadi , Sazegara , Bozorgmehr, Batebi and ..., to discredit internationally reliable sources such as Amnesty international, Frontpage Mag, The New

1937:

Finally, and this is a separate topic all together, but there is every reason to believe Siavash777 is a nickname for the subject himself and should therefore be precluded from making additional edits to his page (or at least be viewed with serious POV concerns). "Siavash" is the subject's pseudonym

1797:

Throughout the entire article the subject is boosted as a leader of student movements in Iran. Yet other student leaders in Iran are quoted in the article as disputing that precise claim (including individuals who were housed in the same cell as the subject). It doesn't get more reliable than that.

1754:

The user Siavash777 (which coincidentally bears the subject's nickname) continues to make changes to alter the objective nature of changes to alter its POV. Please stop. This is neither a forum for personal attacks or for self-promotion. I have taken significant steps to ensured there's a balanced

Opposition/”Green Movement” (Rah-e-Sabz): All of the blocs and personalities below can be considered, to varying degrees, as part of the Green Movement. However, overall leadership of the movement and decision-making on protest activities is unclear, with several components competing for preeminence.

553:

How is Front Page Magazine "questionable" but Mother Jones exempt from scrutiny? It is a typical pseudo-argument that the right-leaning forum is regarded as biased and inaccurate while the left-leaning forum is based on facts and statistics. Mother Jones is overwhelmingly biased, and the contributors

on his relationship with pro-Israel lobby in the united states: "Pooya Dayanim, a Jewish-Iranian democracy activist based in Los Angeles, chatted with Adelson. Recalling their conversation, Dayanim observed that Adelson was dismissive of Reza Pahlevi, the son of the former Shah, who had participated

1882:

Thats actually not true, there is nothing in the policy that excludes such sections and a variety of pages (in fact) include them. Indeed, your interpretation completely contradicts Knowledge (XXG)'s policy to ensure an objective and unbiased account of the subject and to prevent a particular point

1725:

Please do not attempt to manipulate facts by misquoting or mischaracterizing portions of the document. In full the passage says the following: "Groups composed of well-educated, Westernized urban youth are the backbone of the Green Movement. They are attempting, with mixed success,to gain support of

1691:

Again, the first link doesn't work. The second link does not refer to Fakhavar as a leader of the Green Movement. It refers to him in connection with the 1999 student movements, not the 2009 Green Movement (which makes sense since Fakhavar was in the US during the Green Movement). Do you have any

1579:

The section needs a ton of work. Most of the suggestions are unsupported by any sources. Further, much of it didn't even relate to the topic at hand. This may be because Fakhavar wasn't in Iran during the 2009 movement therefore his actual contributions are sparse. If anyone has any reliable and

1308:

The only source you site is a blog posting of absolutely no credibility or authority. I think in light of the fact that the interview is reported in Haaretz that its important given its relationship to the underlying subject matter. Further, nothing you state is supported by any source and appears

2988:

2770:

In addition to COI issues, there is an overall NPOV problem as a result of this. The article comes across as promotional and even exaggerating events that were not widely reported in Iranian media. One of the problematic contributors claims sources like Frontpage Mag are "internationally reliable,"

1444:

The part about Richard Horowitz, an unknown lawyer in NY, who said some non-sence things about Mr Fakhravar is not a reliable source. Please remove those parts witch are not correct. There are hundreds of articles, interviews, photos and Videos from Amir Abbas Fakhravar's historical and influential

1106:

Most of the content on this article comes from sources that either the subject or entities very close to him have produced. You read the Bio section and it's just funny. Where in a WP bio, you see describing someone as "as a gifted student started writing at the age of eight...". And it's a mess in

429:

How come there is no biography of this person? There is no information here. It goes from saying he is an activist (what is his history as an activist?) and then suddenly he is in the US meeting with important officials. We should know more about this man and why he is important enough to meet with

1404:

Haartz is NOT the most important publication in Israel! What type of information do you have Kabirat?! Fakhravar had interview with primetime TV news show, Channel 2 in Israel the moment he arrived there. This show is like Anderson Cooper (CNN) or Charlie Rose's show in Israel. Then He was Keynote

are using that article several times to discredit Fakhravar's biography. Please check this article and you will see the entire article is based on rummers and Mr. Fakhravar's enemies, competitors and Islamic Republic of Iran's informants statements who wants to attack Fakhravar. You can't find any

Per the policy concerning BLP, I've reduced the criticism/controversy section and neutralised the language. I've maintained the core information since its important. While Mother Jones is a partisan piece, the information being used in this section are the quotes and opinions of other prominent

At the moment the biography is almost exclusively based on one article in Front Page Magazine. I have attempted to balance that out with another article while at the same time maintaining the original content. If the newly added material is being taken out, then all material from Front Page Mag

1210:

This is just hilarious. I'm friends with his political enemies? seriously? And I am a radical leftist? where did you get that from? My liked videos on Youtube? And "Personal Accusations"? who's accusing who? Why are you so hot on it? I am simply saying that this article needs a thorough revision

705:

The last paragraph of this biography is all negative propaganda against Amir Abbas Fakhravar, the subject of article. Using some names like Bina Darabzand and Najmeh bozorgmehr that no-one knows who they are to attack Mr. Fakhravar is not right. Specially at biography section! Then link to Ahmad

1853:

The policy doesn't suggest you can't have sections on the subject's controversial background, so your interpretation of the policy isn't correct. The section heading is broadly neutral (it says controversy without labeling the subject) and the information under that section is also neutral - it

Do not give disproportionate space to particular viewpoints; the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all. Care must be taken with article structure to ensure the overall presentation and section headings are broadly neutral. Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association, and

2823:

In 2006, neoconservative and former Pentagon advisor Richard Perle offered support to a recently exiled political prisoner named Amir Abbas Fakhravar. Perle claimed that Fakhravar was a well-known student leader who escaped from the infamous Evin Prison and then secretly fled Iran to the West.

1931:

There are three issues that appear to be at dispute between Siavash777 and myself. The first two relate to edits to Fakhravar's visit to Israel. As reflected above, while Siavash777 keeps reverting the summary to suggest that Fakhravar gave a presentation to the Israeli Knesset, the cited to

that will greatly increase the chances of the changes sticking. Similarly try to find the most reliable sources you can (mainstream newspapers are generally more desirable than political magazines, for example). Whilst having some sources is better than having none, anything that doesn't meet

2878:

in the same month, Fakhravar reverted to the other neo-conservative themes explored above, stating that the 'world has to do something whatever it takes so that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does not become another Hitler'. Sitting safely in his office at the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies,

1494:

As a preliminary matter, "non-sence" is actually spelled nonsense. I prefer that you use proper spelling when resorting to ad hominem attacks. Moving on. Comments by Horowitz reported in Haaretz (Israel's most important newspaper) are highly relevant for providing objective context to the

1048:

The edits have been an attempt to fix the article which has predominantly been written by the subject himself and major portions of which were uncited. Those who have reverted the text back to its original form, have done so without addressing the underlying problems. Unless those who keep

If we're going to remove information from the Mother Jones article due to its partisan nature, should we apply that rule consistency. Virtually the entirety of the article is based off of a Front Page Magazine article which equally partisan issues. Further, how is the source not reliable.

1292:

The controversy surrounding the trip reported by Haaretz was made by Ahmad Batebi's lawyer Richard Horowitz which was not true. Batebi is Fakhravar's competitors and recently many facts and documents and a confidential phone Conversation was released on youtube that shows Batebi was iranian

1263:

Many of the sourced sentences did not accurately reflect the sourced document. The section has been revised to make it more accurate and in line with the sources. In addition, the section has been revised to reflect some controversy surrounding the trip as reported by Haaretz.

1177:

I saw in your Facebook page you are close friend with some of Fakhravar's political enemies. You are a radical leftist and you don't like Fakhravar's political views and you are attacking him here on wikipedia? It is wrong. It is better to stop these personal accusation now.

532:

The position taken by Kabriat seems to make a lot of sense. Front Page Magazine is a questionable authority at best and shouldn't be relied upon without some other corroboration. I also question the motivations of Siavash777, which I have a suspicion is the subject himself.
