Background

This article can be helpful for the section. Also, I think the article suffers from serious POV issues. It should also mention Badri Patarkatsishvili's controversial role in the event.--KoberTalk 14:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lack of info is not POV. It just needs to be added... --TheFEARgod (Ч) 15:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Imedi

How about some primary sources?

"Now Company News Corp will be the only owner of the complete share package of the TV Company Imedi." Óðinn 06:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is not quite accurate. That day the Imedi manager held a briefing and explained that Badri remained a co-owner.--KoberTalk 06:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Kober, your edits seem to downplay the protests. No need of "ad-hoc" in the very first. Who assisted the protests financially is less important. We should not highlight the fact more than the media does. Also Georgian government uses the fact as a slur. Kober, please do not engage in edit wars. You can add all the details in the main body of the articles. Tamokk 07:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What are you talking about? I also participated earlier in these protests. I'm not trying to donwplay them. But the intro should be informative. You're trying to suppress the info you don't feel comfortable with. Who assisted the protests financially is less important? Are you kidding? --KoberTalk 07:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am not kidding. See the news articles, none of them except the pro-Georgian government ones spotlight the fact. Yes the intro should be informative but not selectively so. Tamokk 07:20, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry but Civil Georgia can hardly be regarded as a pro-govt source. It is affiliated with a certain moderate opposition organization and is well-known for its credibility. Please don't mislead the reader.--KoberTalk 07:25, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I did not mean Civil Georgia, I meant the pro-gov sources. Civil.ge naturally extensively covered the event, dedicating number of articles to it. Your reference is just one of those many articles, about this one particular issue. Please don't meslead the reader yourself. Tamokk 07:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
