"Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) are foreign organizations that are designated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended. FTO designations play a critical role in our fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business."
Look down the list and you will find:
"Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (formerly al-Qa'ida in Iraq)"

Yeah but Wikipedia doesn't not reflect only US ideas. It's an encylopedia. On WP:TERRORIST it says,
Value-laden labels—such as calling an organization a cult, an individual a racist, terrorist, or freedom fighter, or a sexual practice a perversion—may express contentious opinion and are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution. Avoid myth in its informal sense, and establish the scholarly context for any formal use of the term.
Here is the answer extracted from what you quoted to me: "unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject"

You are very naive. Social media would call you and WP stupid: ISIS is a terrorist organization and they are proud of being bloodthirsty throat-cutters who burn groups of people alive in the name of Islam - period. Accept the world as it is. Kraainem ( talk) 14:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Trailer Trash is a US derogatory term for poor people living in
trailers or
caravans. It appears that these trailer trash happen to live on a
trailer park.

You are making a big mistake on Bitcoin: You removed my reliable source. THis is what you removed - including the reliable source - reliable as per Ladislav Mecir a very accomplised editor: Although bitcoin is not legally banned in terms of Russian law, it is in fact banned by the authorities on a de facto basis. On the other hand it is also true that there may be many millions of USD (it is a big economy) worth of bitcoins present today in Russia on computers owned by Russians since they bought them from and paid for them in Russian Roubles on exchanges accessible to them outside Russia - and that this practice most probably would continue with an equivalent increase in the number and value of bitcoins inside Russia. [1] Please revert your false allegations against me including that I am attacking other editors: I have a reliable source: you simply state: "Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article."
I had a source: it is in the Bitcoin article history for all to see. Please apologise and revert your false allegations immediatly. Kraainem ( talk) 16:12, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Plse stop your personal attack immediately. I spent a lot of time adding valuable content to the bitcoin article with a reliable reference. Ladislav Mecir, the top expert on bitcoin defended my reference. You jump in from the blue and state I have no reference. Go and check where you actually removed my reference. Then you state I have no reference. This normal WP editing you then call disruptive. You carry one stating I am attacking other editors. Just because you and I had an initial misunderstanding about ISIS? You are in full scale personal attack mode. Please stop it immediately. You did not appear so aggressive the first time we communicated. You must be very upset with me just because I did not immediately understand your position on ISIS. Really, you are making some big mistakes here. Please stop and revert what you stated on my talk page. Thank you. I forgive you. Kraainem ( talk) 16:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
You made a mistake. To err is human. Kraainem ( talk) 16:30, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello, ChamithN.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
First of all, I respect your decision for deleting my changed content. You are, after all, way more experienced in Wikipedia than I am. However, I still think the weight comparsion example for SSD and HDD is informative and provides some value to readers. Despite this, I'm still open-minded and will take any suggestions or advice. On the other hand, I think the content is worth noting. So, I will be adding the content link in the external links as extra resources. That is all!
Thanks again, ChamithN! AveragelyPro ( talk) 12:08, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
I am actually considering making a template of some sort saying: "Yes, ChamithN has a very nice signature, please don't just copy it, try to make something original yourself." Well, let's just say that you have "user page" "talk page" and "contributions" to go with, most computers have about 300 fonts in common, and let's stick to 256 original web colors, then there is the regular, bold, italic, underlined and crossed over, plus the Caps, no Caps and combo, and you can get shade/background in 256 colors (not counting the reversed). So right there you easily have about 300x256x5x3x256= 294,912,000 ways to make your signature. And let's say that about half of these are not so good or impractical, that still leaves roughly 147,456,000 combinations! So, why oh why, must everyone copy yours? :) Best as always, w.carter -Talk 10:21, 15 December 2014 (UTC) (aka Guardian of ChamithN's sign)
But w.carter why just 256 colours? we have more than 16M colours, isn't it? (256*256*256) Confused! ~" aGastya" ✉ let’s talk about it :) 15:27, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations! You reverted my WP-editor supported reliably sourced reference and then got me banned for it.
Let´s see if WP will ban me again for highlighting this abuse!
You refuse to admit you made a mistake. It is as simple as that. And WP wants to ram it down my throat that I must simply accept that!! Well, I do not!! Kraainem ( talk) 18:56, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
You are welcome to get me banned me again for stating the truth about you. #IamCharly Kraainem ( talk) 18:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. Kraainem ( talk) 19:21, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
