as the "other stuff". Someone should see about expanding the lead. I planned on looking at this but have to work today since nobody will donate a millon bucks so I can retire. Material in the lead should be a summary of what is in the body of the article. Referencing in the lead is not actually necessary "if" summary content is in the body. I haven't looked but if a revision was reinstated that does not follow the AFD consensus then there is a problem and reverting to "other revisions" instead of building on the one agreed upon by consensus can be considered disrumptive editing. I will have to look at this later as work calls.
1540:“In the intervening years, even while constrained by their terrorism designation, the group and its affiliates poured millions of dollars into a sophisticated effort to rehab their image, creating an influential lobbying effort on Capitol Hill. Via an opaque network of Iranian-American community organizations, supporters circumvented anti-terrorism laws to garner many fans in Washington, at least in some quarters, where they quietly pressed their case for hard-line policies against the Iranian regime through meetings with sympathetic members of Congress.” 191: 170: 1821:"In the same year, the organization paid nearly one-third of the costs for the trip of then-Mayor of San Diego Bob Filner to Paris, France, which totaled $ 31,363. Filner –who attended the annual meetings of the MEK in 2007 and 2011 sponsored by an Iranian-born Colorado real estate broker named Mehdi Ghaemi– appeared the event again in his trip. After the OIAC payment was placed under investigation for violation of state law by the City Council, Filner pledged to reimburse the costs." 824: 201: 436: 415: 1759:. I don't get your point on the distinction you said the source makes. The source says "opaque network of Iranian-American community organizations", and then adds that OIAC is an umbrella organization (of that Iranian-American community organizations) with chapters in 30 U.S. states. It also says it "examined giving by people listed by the pro-Mojahedin OIAC network" to write this article. Would you please explain how it is OR? 446: 81: 1010:. All of these are simply referred to as OIAC. I find primary evidence of 25 (I can't find 30 or 40) branch groups in 23 states of one parent organization in Washington DC that does have coverage. Individuals and communities that do not have a "state organization" can certainly go through the OIAC/OIAC-US. A problem is reliable sourcing other than primary and unreliable sourcing and mirror sites. 323: 302: 1281: 333: 50: 21: 1411:

1548:“Pro-Mojahedin activists were outraged. Their exact numbers can be hard to divine: the Mojahedin themselves often won’t declare their membership.

actually happened it would be a good thing but politically the MEK organization seems to be aligned with US and Israeli interests. However, sources show that the "listing" was a political move so balance dictates if showing one side both should be presented.
