== Al-Qaida and Isil on list == 

 From 2012: 
 https://web.archive.org/web/20120412233859/http://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/other/des/123085.htm 
 *35. al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) 
 *36. al-Qa’ida (AQ) 
 *37. al-Qa'ida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) 
 *38. al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (formerly GSPC) 

 This is why it's wrong to simply delete groups rather than tracking the changes in names with dates. There are now cnspiracy theories circulating about why Islamic State isn't on the list, when in truth it's been on the list since December 2004 under its earlier name. The next time someone tells me something is true because he read it in Wikipedia - "and it was footnoted!" - I'm going to point him to this debacle. Look at the view stats:

 I'd guess most of those were people looking for when Islamic State was added, and finding nothing. You can use archive.org to recreate the timeline for all these groups.
