Tags edit

I've tagged this article for POV and sourcing problems. The article is sourced entirely on representations by the organization in question, and it shows. A neutral-third party source is needed for the content of this article; statements by the organization touting itself or even describing its activities without further context should be removed.

New ICMPD Article edit

The article was obviously revised. The information given in the article is based on a source of the UN Refugee Agency which seems to be a reliable source. According to a handbook given an overview of the international organizations in Vienna provided by the City of Vienna (see http://www.wien.gv.at/politik/international/publikationen/pdf/handbuch.pdf, page 40), the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) is an official non-intergovernmental international organization and is non-profit oriented. Therefore I would suggest leaving the article online. (Loestr (talk) 14:12, 13 September 2011 (UTC))Reply

Article, a puff piece edit

A review of the few editors creating this article shows, the article clearly was created or edited by editor(s) connected to ICMPD, a puff piece, in violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. plus it is poorly source in large parts unsourced, which I will flag. The first editor was even blocked. Wuerzele (talk) 23:15, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
