Iran's nuclear energy program condemned by "most of the world"?
Citing from current version article: "Despite Iran's huge oil and gas reserves, those sectors have been relatively neglected in favor of a nuclear energy program which has cost billions of dollars and has been condemned by most of the world, including Israel and the United States, who claim that the program is a cover up for a much larger nuclear weapons program."
Most of the world supports Iran's legal right to a civilian nuclear program, as it is a signee of the Non-Proliferation Nuclear Treaty.
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which alone comprises most of the world's countries with its 120 member states, unanimously supports Iran's right to a civilian nuclear program. So, most of the world in-fact supports Iran in this matter.
I will not, for now, make an edit myself - it would not be useful to make an edit only to have that removed by the people who may disagree and simply remove or alter it without notification.
"Sources are reliable for alternative POV as per WIKI:POV"
There is no such criteria. There's also no "WIKI:POV". I think you mean WP:NPOV. There's nothing in there about "alternative POV". Neutral POV does not mean including nonsense crap from junk sources in every article. We don't put in "the Earth is flat" in the article
Earth in order to include "alternative POV".
Ok, look, this is straight up POV pushing and the sources are not reliable. Phrasing such as "Western corporate media has been generally criticized for working to provoke the protests" or "Indeed, despite initial denials by US officials..." are textbook examples of POV pushing.
voltairenet.org is a conspiracy website with anti-semitic overtones. World Socialist Website, is also not a reliable source.
aljazeera and BBC are fine but the statement they source is a "response" or commentary on the ridiculous POV statements earlier in the paragraph. Hence once we remove the junk, there's no reason for these to be in there either.
Where did I ever say "Sources are reliable for alternative POV as per WIKI:POV"?? Where do you quote this from? Here is
my edit explanation quoted verbatim: "The sources are reliable for alternative POV as per WIKI:NPV. Take it to talk page in case of disagreement."
Wikipedia:NPV as you see is an official shortcut to "Wikipedia: Neutral Point of View".
But as for your charges: Both Voltaire and WWS are websites critical of US foreign policy, imperialism, corporatocracy and corporate media, and these make them reliable sources for alternative POVs to existing POVs that are heavily based on sources with conflict of interest with the subject they are reporting: 2009 Iranian elections. As for the charge of "conspiracy theory", if you're referring to Meyssan's book on 9/11: The Big Lie, the claim that 9/11 was a false flag or inside job is a significant minority opinion so much so that it has already
a hefty Wikipedia entry. So it is not a fringe pov to discredit Voltaire.org according to wiki rules for reliability. So as I said, for a just a little balance of POVs in this page which is clearly biased and relies on biased sources for this subject matter, the POVs should be included.
Neither Voltaire nor WWS nor petras (whoever that is) nor the other source are reliable. Note that Meyssan's book has an entry in the article
9/11 conspiracy theories, and NOT in the article on 9/11 itself. It does represent fringe POV. And no it shouldn't be included, any more then Mayssan's view's should be included "for balance" on the 9/11 article. You are misunderstanding what NPOV means.

You're wrong! True that Meyssan's POV is cited in
9/11 conspiracy theories but if anything that proves that his POV is popular and notable enough as a minority POV to deserve a Wiki article. Indeed the record of
Opinion polls about 9/11 conspiracy theories shows that since years ago, non-official theories about 9/11 form a significant minority viewpoint in US and even the majority opinion in some other countries! So POVs alternative to the official 9/11 conspiracy theory are not a fringe opinion. And that's why Meyssan's POV and those of others with a similar POV don not discredit them as reliable sources.

No. Again, you're misunderstanding WP:NPOV. It is completely irrelevant whether Meyssan's crazy ideas are "popular" or a "minority POV". All that matters is whether they're treated seriously in reliable sources. Please read WP:NPOV again, in particular the
WP:GEVAL section. Also, read
WP:RS. You can also look at
WP:BALASPS where the key words are "a weight appropriate to the weight of that aspect in the body of reliable sources". These ideas are NOT treated seriously in reliable sources. They are
WP:FRINGE and giving them "equal weight" or even mentioning them at all in any kind of serious way is a violation of WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT.
I find your negative connotations with "conspiracy theory" objectionable. Please note that in the context of 9/11 incidents, the US government official explanation is by definition a conspiracy theory, for it also claims a conspiracy by a caveman in Afqanistan who along with 11 lackeys somehow managed to outwit the most sophisticated and powerful intelligence and military apparatus in the world. There are many researchers, technicians, journalists and even academics who find that theory as "most crazy" of all especially considering the fact that there's no concrete evidence linking Bin Laden to 9/11 (that's even admitted by the FBI). But ultimately which side we agree with or which theory we think is "crazy" is really besides the point here, for what matters here with respect to Wiki rules is whether that particular POV by Meyssan discredits him as a source. My argument is that his POV about 9/11 is not a fringe opinion. The evidence is that POVs alternative to official 9/11 explanation have been notable enough to warrant a Wiki entry. The opinion polls I linked also prove that they are not fringe but at least a significant minority. Myessan himself has also been notable enough to warrant a
Wiki article.
But as for the conditions of this page, I'm going to open a new section and explain why this page is so seriously biased and lacks alternative POVs critical of the actions and claims of the Green Movement. The alternative POVs are very substantial and have been mainly published by Iranian government sources and also discussed by some critical western sources (I linked two instances here and have added some more of them in the article itself which you insisted on deletion). And that's also why I had added POV issue tag to the page. Note that this issue has also been raised by other users in the past.

Look, you are now engaging in
WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. Feel free to ask for an outside opinion from uninvolved, unbiased editors, for example at the NPOV dispute board or at
WP:RSN. They'll tell you the same thing.
And you've pretty much laid out your cards in terms of "conspiracy theories" and made it perfectly clear that you are here to push these conspiracy theories onto Wikipedia articles. Basically, you're in the wrong place.

But some of those "crazy conspiracy theories" seem to have been already qualified to have their wiki entries which by your logic suggests that hundreds of those editors are "crazy". But any way, this talk is over and I will restore the materials in due time by providing corroborating sources (to your disappointment!). The page will hopefully be substantially balanced by major alternative POVs.
