MEK troll farm

  • ... that a troll farm with an estimated 1000 members is said to be run by People's Mujahedin Khalq from Albania? Source: "Iranians respond to MEK troll farm: #YouAreBots - Al-Monitor: Independent, trusted coverage of the Middle East". www.al-monitor.com. Retrieved 14 November 2022.

  • Much cleanup needed - reads more like a mega news clipping now (shorter paragraphs, please!), with some chunks lifted wholesale from the sources per Earwig (granted, some are quotes but they seem excessively long). Not comfortable passing this as it currently is. BTW I am not sure if "estimatedly" is a word... KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 15:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you @Kingoflettuce and Cbl62: I fixed the hook. Concerning copy editing the whole article I placed a request here, but I am not sure they give us a hand in time. Albertatiran do you have the time to address the issues above? Ghazaalch (talk) 03:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ghazaalch, no worries. It's on my to-do list now though it might take some time before I can start working on it (after your sandbox and Muhammad al-Baqir). Albertatiran (talk) 08:48, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
