Then take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolfo_Constanzo Are the person who added information about this American born serial killers Cuban heritage going to be scolded in a similar way as Saladin1970 now?
Because that information is contained in a paragraph about his early life, not in the lede...
It's not only not in the intro, it's arguably relevant, because I assume the point of the way the early life section is written is to emphasize that he was born into poverty to a 15-year-old girl, and may therefore have had an unstable start in life. That the family were poor immigrants is therefore not an irrelevance. I'd have no objection
So what you are claiming is that Adolfo Constanzo's poor immigrant family is relevant TO HIS CRIMES? That is nothing short of racism.
No one has, so far, claimed that Harold Shipman's possible Jewish refugee background is in any way relevant to his crimes. Anyone doing so would be rightly called an anti-Semite. What people have claimed is that Harold Shipmans family background is an interesting tidbit of knowledge, which I agree with. What I have showed is that it is not taboo for articles about (non-Jewish) serial killers to include information about their family background.
to including in the [[Harold Shipman]] early life section that he was Jewish if it could be sourced and if it was in any way relevant. But there would still be no need for it in the first sentence. It's
In the early life section of the Adolfo Constanzo article it says:
"... His mother, Delia Aurora Gonzalez del Valle, was a widowed Cuban immigrant."
With Saladin1970's last edit to Harold Shipman, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harold_Shipman&diff=53826041&a..., the early life section said:
"... His mother, Vera, died in 1963 from [[lung cancer]], when he was 17.She came to Britain as a Jewish Asylum Seeker."
So you are wrong, with Saladin1970's last few edits, it was not stated in the first sentence, it was stated in the "early life" section. Exactly like it is written in the Adolfo Constanzo article.
It is very telling of your attitude that you, on one hand, defends the mention of ethnicity in the Adolfo Constanzo article and on the other says it cannot be mentioned in the Harold Shipman article and then also using that to accuse Saladin1970 of anti-Semitism.
