the evidence for shipman eing jewish is greater than the evidence for him not being jewish.
shouldnt the question be why are certain posters hell bent on removing this background information.
i didn't put the first reference there, it was removed and i put it back again

hi Philip, like i said, the few references we have on shipmans background claim him to be jewish
Those references are *not reliable*. It's unacceptable to put unreliable information in the wiki, period.
If it was reliably established that he was Jewish, there would be no problem. Since it isn't reliably established, reporting that he was Jewish, or that he might be Jewish, constitutes anti-Semitism.
Why are you so hell-bent on making this poorly-supported case that he is Jewish, anyway?
