I don't know what the | chances of it passing are. | | OneVoice has a history of posting doubtful stories from Arutz Sheva. | At [[Refusal to serve in the Israeli military]] he posted a claim that | some general had said that refusal to serve had dropped by 80%. What | the general had really said was that *convictions* for refusing to | serve had dropped by 80%. I replaced the false claim by the correct | story together with all the details (actual numbers of convictions | from the general's testimony) and citation of my sources, but OneVoice | just went into his usual obsessive reversion loop regardless. I don't | accept the good faith assumption, this has happened too many times. He | is here with a mission and that mission has nothing to do with writing | a good encyclopedia. | | Zero. If you want the article locked, now or later, message me by email or WP. At this point I think that would be more than justified, and I'm willing to take a bit of flack if I'm seen as less than neutral. Nathan
