Restored deleted paragraph on IOM critics
[edit]It seems someone has deleted a paragraph about criticsm raised against IOM by antiracist groups. I believe if there is criticism of a relevant scale that is somewhat serious/rational it can and should be part of the article. To write ABOUT the criticism and is different from criticising IOM.
Who Done It? no one And guess who deleted the criticism:

Hello. I have a theme. My family residing in Jordan and registered with the United Nations commissioners Eyad993 (talk) 11:43, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
I rewrote the criticism section as someone said it wasn't well sources. Honestly, it was well soured, although not written in the normal style. I could be skeptical about the motivations for the flag, but it's wikipedia, so I must assume good faith. So at least that problem is fixed. As to the quality of the article overall, it's poor. I've reorganized it today, but it still needs citations. CT55555 (talk) 00:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Verification Request
[edit]I agree that criticism should be part of this article, but I also think that the paragraph on it could be improved. For instance, if Human Rights Watch has criticized IOM, there should be a citation. If no example of that criticism can be found to cite, then perhaps it shouldn't be there. Similarly, the article describes the Australian "Pacific Solution" without clearly stating that IOM was involved with it, or offering a reference to back up such a claim.
Criticism of IOM should definitely be a part of this article. But the section should be stronger.Mgllama (talk) 21:03, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I want to flag this concern again. It's been almost 2 weeks since I put up the citation requests. If there is not some response within the next few weeks, I will probably remove the mention of Human Rights Watch (leaving it saying that there's criticism from generic groups without listing this specific one). I may also remove the Pacific Solution reference, if that can't be backed up.
Again, I don't mean to eliminate criticism--but I also think that it should be up to Wikipedia standards.198.54.202.74 (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, the above comment was from me--I hadn't logged in.Mgllama (talk) 19:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Not having seen any further comment over a month after posting those verification requests, I removed the questionable section. If someone can verify them, then I would welcome their return. Mgllama (talk) 20:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Introduction in main article is copied from an IOM promotional pamphlet, without citation.
[edit]Hello,
The text in the introduction section of the article is taken, almost verbatim (with some text removed and some added), from promotional material available from the IOM website. Please forgive me for not being completely informed about wikipedia guidelines, but I believe that this may constitute some sort of violation.
At the very least, it should be reported clearly that the text in the introduction was written for promotional purposes by IOM itself, not by the wikipedia community.
Please see the following link to the pdf document from which the introduction text was taken:
The text from that source reads as follows:
"Established in 1951, the International
Organization for Migration (IOM) is the principal intergovernmental organization in the field of migration. We are growing rapidly and currently count 125 member states. A further 16 states hold observer status, as do numerous international and non-governmental organizations. IOM’s programme budget for 2007 exceeds US$ 783.8 million, funding over 1,770 active programmes and more than 5,600 staff members serving in over 410 field offices in more than a hundred countries.
IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, be they refugees, displaced persons or other uprooted people. The IOM Constitution gives explicit recognition to the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement of persons. IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management: migration and development, facilitating migration, regulating migration, and addressing forced migration. Cross-cutting activities include the promotion of international migration law, policy debate and guidance, protection of migrants’ rights, migration health and the gender dimension of migration.
IOM works closely with governmental,intergovernmental and non-governmental partners."
I'll check back on the page in a week or so, and try to fix it, or mark the main entry according to wikipedia guidelines (when I have a little more free time). Until then, it seemed appropriate to leave this comment on the comment page.
All the Best,

Serious POV Issues
[edit]Came upon this page while doing research for school. I noticed that the way the article was written seemed like what you would find in a "what we do" page on an organization's website. I checked the references, all of which gave the result "Page Not Found." Oh, and also, all the references were of IOM's site.
At this point I went and checked the talk page, which had a few posts from years ago regarding deletion and restoring of the 'Criticisms' section of the article. I found this even more interesting, since the current version has no 'Criticisms' section. I found the point where an edit deleted it and it was never restored (edit at 17:23, 20 June 2010 by an IP address).
Looking through the edits, I found that in June 2014, one IP address and then one user had done a lot of editing in a very short amount of time. The user's name is now red, and a look at their contributions shows that this page is the only one they ever contributed to.
It's fairly obvious that the article was edited to resemble propaganda for the organization. The fact that previously there had been issues with deletion of the 'Criticisms' section makes me wonder if the attempt to manage the point of view of the article is an ongoing effort.
There does not seem to be any good point at which to revert the article back to. I don't currently have the time to rewrite the whole article. In the interest of keeping with the integrity of Wikipedia, I have deleted what I consider to be the most concerning sections, but left the rest.
Two important issues to be addressed:
·Intro and History sections need to be rewritten and checked for a NPOV ·Broken reference links need to be removed and, if necessary, replaced
I will try to come back to this article after my semester is over and I have time, but if a fellow editor could help out I would be ever so grateful. It would also be nice to have someone other than myself also keep an eye on this page, since I would not be surprised if someone would come back to the article to 'fix' it after my edits.

- Hi @kaireky this article was (and still is) a mess, I've had a go at making some improvements to make it a bit more standard, but still lots to do. It's badly cited, but I've at least organized it better. CT55555 (talk) 00:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned references in International Organization for Migration
[edit]I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of International Organization for Migration's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
