Talk:Mumia Abu-Jamal: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 138:

It is not difficult this article just needs to make these points clearer as it would sure help a lot, because quite frankly I think article is unjustified in its present form and is more a platform (as per [[WP:SOAP]]) for people with an issue over the sentence than actually the promulgation of information.

==Seeking help with another article that stirs controversy==

In general, I find the tone of discussion in this article to be civil and attempting to be balanced. I am trying to add information to the article of [[Oscar Lopez Rivera]], a Puerto Rican nationalist convicted of Sedition, use of force in armed robbery and other crimes. He was convicted as part of a conspiracy involving over a dozen other nationalist members of the [[FALN]], some of whome were convicted of bombings that killed and maimed individuals. But the article read, when I arrived, as if this was a clean cut case of a political prisoner inappropriately jailed for his beliefs. I am conscious that ''one person's freedom fighter is another person's terrorist'', but that does not mean we can not reach a balanced discussion of the facts.

But enough of an introduction: my question is how can wikipedia arrive on a way to mediate better these articles. I sense they have done a reasonable job here, how can that be expanded to something like Oscar Lopez Rivera, who has become the [[Mumia]] for the cause of Puerto Rican independence.Any help would be appreciated.[[User:Rococo1700|Rococo1700]] ([[User talk:Rococo1700|talk]]) 23:05, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
