Talk:Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement

message: Does anyone else think that the image of the MRTA flag on this page kind of sucks?  Most of images I have seen of the actual flag have stripes of the same width, not two thin red strips and one thick white one.  See    .  I think it's pretty clear that the MRTA is a civil Peruvian flag defaced with the MRTA logo. --Descendall 20:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: MRTA Flag

message: While not a fan of armed revolutionary groups any more than of repressive regimes, I noticed that:
* 1. The article itself notes that the US state department no longer listed MRTA as terrorist, starting 2001, while still putting "role: terrorist" in the right box
and more importantly, as far as Wikipedia policies, that
* 2. Look at the entry for the Provisional Irish Republican Army  lists "leaders", "strength", "origins" and "opponent" for it (and for the Continuity IRA which split off from it) and nothing else. The  other group that split off from the Provisional IRA is the real ira which does have an extra entry, "type" and the "type" is listed as "paramilitary" not "Terrorist" despite its being considered terrorist by more than a few countries. This makes sense: The Real IRA commits terror and is listed as an organization which commits terror, but their role is indeed a paramilitary organization.
In light of 1. and 2. is seems that POV leaning is the only reason the "role: terrorism" given to MRTA and not to IRA, even more ironic in light of item 1. since the real IRA was not de-listed from 'terrorism'. I do not visit this page often, since MRTA is not a significant concern to me  (while citizens of all countries receiving a fair unbiased trial, e.g. L.B. is important to me) so perhaps someone else can remedy this (if accuracy and consistency standards are important) Harel (talk) 01:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sir, if USA still or not classifies the MRTA as "terrorist" is irrelevant, here in Peru this organization is clearly defined as a terrorist organization, therefore, it should be called in that way. This article is not about the North-american POV about this terrorist organization, it's about its facts. Greetings.--Ian (CloudAOC) | Talk  19:10, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You are simply incorrect in thinking that the narrative voice of the article on English wikipedia must comply with the official policy of the Republic of Peru, which is why I am going to edit. --Descendall (talk) 08:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Role: Terrorism" 

message: Hi folks. The name of the group implies that it is an indigenous movement, but the article doesn't mention whether it is or isn't. It would be helpful to say "this is an indigenous movement because...." or "despite its name, it is not an indigenous movement because..."  or "it started out as an indigenous movement, but later..."
I'm not arguing one way or the other. I came here to find out for myself. Since the information isn't listed, I'm suggesting that someone with more knowledge or someone that knows where to find authoritative sources on the subject can update the article. Thanks for your consideration! --Lacarids (talk) 01:20, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indigenous Movement? 

message: I am looking to do some research to try and identify what MRTA's stated goals were when they formed. There seems to be a good record of what they actually did, but I see limited information about what their stated objectives were. I'm thinking it belongs in the 'Origins' section, which right now claims it drew membership from a few preexisting leftist groups but doesn't offer a source. these seem like important details to include in addition to operations conducted by MRTA.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reynard2077 (talk • contribs) 04:41, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stated Goals of MRTA 

message: I found the map on this article to be messy, hard to look at and rushed. So, I have created what I believe to be a better version while retaining the feel of the map with the same colour scheme etc, if you want to use it here it is:

thread_title: Updated map

message: This article states that he was sentenced to 32 years imprisonment in 1992, the ”Victor Polay” article however (in regards to the 32 years imprisonment) states the year of sentencing to be 2006; it is hard to decipher though, as he appears to have been apprehended in 1990, so he very likely had an earlier sentence or maybe it was finalized by the highest court (or he ran out of ways to appeal) in 2006? Not familiar with peruvian law though, eg 32 years might be the maximum punishment, so he could have been sentenced to it more than once. 79.138.18.26 (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: …or maybe the sentence was upheld in post-Fujimori courts? As seems to be the case with Lori Berenson. (Also he was apprenhended in 1992 and not 1990 as I previously claimed) 79.138.18.26 (talk) 17:00, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
