As it was the second sentence, the reader didn't know what "Sydney president" meant, or who Andrew Wilson and Stuart McBeth were.

==Intro==
I've restored my intro again, and have moved this: "Sydney President Andrew Wilson admitted to The ''Herald'' that Stuart McBeth founded an Australian branch of the ], an ] ] group, and that the PYL shares a PO Box with same."

==Links==

I've put the links to FightDemBack and the PYL spoof back, as they're entirely relevant to the subject at hand. Both were created to oppose the PYL... to omit them is unencyclopedic and POV. ] 03:28, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
:I've put the PYL spoof link back, Jason... I'll explain why, in a second. For the record, when you removed the "four" FDB links before, you removed the spoof page and the actual link to FDB, leaving the Darpism link up. What the? I'd posit that the Darpism link is relevant, because Darpism practically destroyed the PYL, but I'll concede that since it's all repeated in FDB, it's no longer necessary. You can't remove the PYL spoof on the basis of POV, homes... Everything in those external links has a POV. The PYL website has a POV. The PYL's blog has a POV. FDB has a POV. It's relevant, and it should stay.

==Nazis etc.==

Anon, let me break it down for you.

The PYL is the youth wing of violent neo-nazi group National Action. Nazis.
PYL members, including Stuart McBeth and Luke Connors, post on neo-nazi forum Stormfront. Nazis.
Stuart McBeth believes Aryans have a higher culture ]. Nazis.

What I want you to do, is read those articles there on the page. Read all of the words, and note the dates before coming up with any more political malice theories.

Let's work on making this the most accurate encyclopedia that we can, okay. Cheers ] 14:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::I hate to butt in here, as you probably know, I still contribute to several (non WP related) articles around here, I think you need to review your definition of "Nazi". (As some may know, I no longer contribute to the WP scene, I'm just here to be encyclopedic.)

::From dictionary.com Na·zi: A member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, founded in Germany in 1919 and brought to power in 1933 under Adolf Hitler.

::The PLY is not a member party of the NSDAP, considering the NSDAP died out in 1945, the claim that they are related is just not feasible. They do, however, subscribe to the politics of National Socialism, and in this light, I am changed the opening paragraph. - ]

:::There is wide agreement that the original Nazi movement mostly ended after 1945. Modern movements that support National Socialist goals are called ''Neo-''Nazis. Neo-Nazism is not directly tied to Hitler's Nazism but rather to that of Rockwell and other fascists of the 1960s. Nobody is going to confuse the two. However, since it is a contentious appellation we should use it with attribution. Cheers, -] June 28, 2005 06:53 (UTC)

My edit of the opening sentence was intended to get across that the PYL themselves deny being neo-Nazis, but are (fairly credibly) accused of actually being.

Also, unless anyone has any information to the contrary, the PYL are not linked to National Action, but to Jim Saleam (former head of National Action). --] 05:50, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

No mention here of the Newcastle PYL rally against the Sudanese community. As I was at the counter-rally (pro-diversity), I can contribute but accept that my interpretation will be POV.

They're actually both. What should they be described as up the top? ]

:They call themselves 'white nationalist'. The media and commentators call them 'white supremacist' - I'd just include that along with neo-nazi in the following sentence. ] <sup>]</sup> 22:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, but the Patriotic Youth League does not have a great reputation when it comes to honesty. I think we should really be aiming for as accurate an entry as possible. ]
:::They've defined themselves as 'white nationalist', regardless of some of the activities/behaviour of their members and media/public perception. Just add in 'supremacist' in the next line, along with neo-nazi. ] <sup>]</sup> 07:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
::::I've defined myself as an eskimo man called Brian O'Harradine von Trankintrop. That doesn't mean that I should be listed in an encylopedia as Brian O'Harradine von Trankintrop, because that clearly isn't my name. I can't find anywhere on the PYL website where they define themselves as 'white nationalists.' John Drew, on the PYL QLD page describes them as a 'radical nationalist' organisation, and Jim Saleam tends to refer to himself as a National Bolshevik, but I would have thought that their member's pre-occupation with wearing neo-nazi symbols and WS fashions would indicate that the actual youth members themselves define themselves as neo-nazis. ] 20:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

::Okay... I restored the spoof link (before) because it was back up, having been DDOSed a few weeks ago. It was removed on June 13 because it was not working. I think it's relevant to the article, because it's an example of one of the forms of opposition to the PYL, and because it has garnered so much (Australian) attention: It's been involved in a court case, has featured on the front page of at least two suburban newspapers, and has been mentioned in both ] and the ].

Comrades. Stop this. Fightdemback you are a bunch of fare left communists who can't help your selvs. I know that PYL and AFP are just fronts for the interests of the capitalists. But they are not nazis or neo-nazis. Why don't you call them National Socialists because they are. Any way as I have already said on the AFP talk page. FightDemBack and Drett are reds who are branches of Fight Dem Back. Here is a good link to visit about the AFP and PYL --] 13:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Intro

I've restored my intro again, and have moved this: "Sydney President Andrew Wilson admitted to The Herald that Stuart McBeth founded an Australian branch of the Volksfront, an American neo-Nazi group, and that the PYL shares a PO Box with same." As it was the second sentence, the reader didn't know what "Sydney president" meant, or who Andrew Wilson and Stuart McBeth were. I had to guess that "Sydney president" meant president of the Sydney branch of the PYL, and that's how I've described him; if that's wrong, please correct. SlimVirgin 18:29, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

Eureka Flag

I have removed the paragraph which states that the PYL's use of the Eureka flag is ironic. Whether or not it is "ironic" is strictly POV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.234.103 (talk • contribs)

good decision.
