For reasons I do not understand, Jtdirl is being dishonest about my work on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a good article on the State of Israel, which has links to many different sub-topics. However, in recent days a few people have been trying to start, from scratch, argumentative discussions about Jewish refugees and Arab refugees within this main page. You need to kno that these subjects ALREADY are discussed in great detail in many other article! The edit page shows this is already becoming very contentious.
The problem here is that people, such as Jtdirl, are effectively bypassing our peer review by starting a totally new discussion on the same topic, without taking into account the consensus that has already been built. It also has become inflammatory, with many other people adding text and deleting text.
Jtdirl's edits, and edits of a few others here, are a violation of the protocol that we use for all our other nation/state entries.
Bizarrely, Jtdirl refuses to recognize that Wikipedia *already* discusses this issue, in depth. When I removed this inflammatory section, and referred him to the fact that we *already* have these articles, which have gone through many rounds of peer review, Jtdirl yelled at me:
"rv yet more RK censorship. Does he ever stop? Does he have a clue what NPOV means?"
This is a lie. I have never censored this, and in fact I have worked with many others here in many rounds of peer-review to hone our articles on precisely these topics. Here are our articles which ALREADY discuss these topics:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_refugee http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_refugees
I am sincerely distressed by the way Jtdirl keeps accusing me of censorship. I have never promoted censorship of academic discouse, nor have I ever prevented anyone from writing on this issue. That's just crazy. I just want to maintain standard Wikipedia protocols. Jtdirl, please stop the false accusations, and stop your reversions. Your POV pushing is not acceptable; instead, please work with the rest of us in the peer-reviewed articles which already are gaining some measure of consensus.
