Caption changed such that it reflects specifically on the source, and is thus cited. Sugar-Baby-Love (talk) 01:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! ;) -- Cirt (talk) 05:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

WikiLeaks

Reportedly, Anonymous supports WikiLeaks: [3] [4]

I've been told that these don't count as reliable sources. However, with a group like Anonymous, no formal announcement is possible (since it has no formal leader etc.). So how much coverage do we need, exactly, to count this claim as reliable? Sonicsuns (talk) 05:58, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, I just found it in the New York Times: [5] Sonicsuns (talk) 06:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Beck vs. Eiland-Hall link removed

I removed the Beck vs. Eiland-Hall link because it has zero bearing on Anonymous as a group. J DIGGITY (U ¢ ME) 01:53, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

These should be mentioned

• Anonymous demanding child porn from an 11-year old girl and sending death threats to her family when she asks them to stop.
• Anonymous defaces Facebook pages for dead children.

Most of the present coverage on this page covers their "activist" actions, while in reality the bulk of their actions are the harassment and bullying of children.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 16:05, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

The latter doesn't mention Anonymous. Adambro (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Cracked.Com is a comedy web site (after the well known pulp comic book.) I don't think a reference to a comedy web site web page is a very good reference, Gawker would be a better reference for that series of incidents, in my opinion. Damotclese (talk) 05:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The dead children thing isn't Anonymous is it? It was reported in New Zealand as being the work of a US neo-nazi group. NZ forever (talk) 04:14, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

The problem with these actions being attributed to anonymous is that anyone can claim to be part of the group. So these may be separate circles. --Mutlee (talk) 19:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

This article is very biased towards Anonymous. Efforts need to be put forth to present the article from a netural point of view, instead of just trying to make Anonymous look like a bunch of heroes. --Little Jimmy (talk) 03:05, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

And if it helps, heres a better link to the case about the 11 year old girl. --Little Jimmy (talk) 23:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Anonymous's activities have been linked to islamist terrorist organizations, please add this section to the article-

The terrorist group Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb has voiced support for the demonstrators against the Tunisian and Algerian Governments, in a video released on January 13, 2011, which was reported by an American organization. Al Qaeda offered military aid and training to the demonstrators, calling them to overthrow "the corrupt, criminal and tyrannical" regime, calling for "retaliation" against the Tunisian government, and also calling for the overthrow of Algerian president Abdelaziz Bouteflika. AQIM leader Abu Musab Abdul Wadud starred in the video. He called for Islamic sharia law to be established in Tunisia. Al Qaeda has begun recruiting the anti government demonstrators, some of the Algeriain and Tunisian protestors have taken up arms before to battle American forces in Iraq and Israeli forces in Gaza.<ef>Adem Amine in Algiers and Jamel Arfaoui in Tunis for Magharebia (2011-01-13).
