Internal cites needed

I removed the following:

If the book does include them, which I suppose is possible, I would suggest an internal cite of page number for each member of each list. This would allow the more casual editor to search for accuracy. Best wishes. WBardwin (talk) 06:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other countries

I doubt Abkhazia is a extremist "group" in Georgia. --media_lib (talk) 15:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion as to what this article is

On the face of it this article is about a book called Extremist Groups. The article is poorly sourced, with no inline references, an apparently dead external link to the publisher's website, and an external link to a hostile review of the first edition. (I've just added a link to the publisher's site for the 3rd edition.) Most of the article consists of an apparently complete list of the 200+ groups covered.
Unfortunately many wp editors seem to have been be under the impression that the article is meant to be a list of extremist groups, and have added and deleted entries in the list according to their POVs, always without sourcing.

One possible cleanup would be to carefully reinstate the list as published in the book (preferably third edition). It might be more appropriate just to delete the list, and if nobody does the former I'll probably do the latter. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 15:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
