Reddi has the notion that Iraq is a "sovereign nation" (see "suzerainty" ) and writes in a manner which revolves around this notion.
While WP:CITE is nice and all, the US government and all the bullshit that comes out of it is a big caustic problem for those of us who hold a more principled view of WP:CITE. In short, I need to see Reddi acknowledge is not sufficiently objective and lets his POV work its way into the article in various ways. (I can talk about them if you like). In short, stating that Iraq is sovereign is a violation of NPOV, though Reddi claims otherwise.
The weak-by-design Medcom wont intervene because "Reddi hasn't accepted Mediation," and the tough-by-design Arbcom doesnt think its an issue until I start arguing on the talk page, mass revert his edits, and start unblocking myself.
What to do?
Change "Iraq is a sovereign nation[1]" (where [1] is a US Govt. source) to "The US Govt. describes Iraq as a sovereign nation[1]" ? Isn't that NPOV and a /better/ use of WP:CITE?
