It's good to know that defamation on Wikipedia is restricted to explicitly pro-Israeli subjects, I'll let the biography Wikiproject know, they can stop watching the others.

I don't think we should worry about racist, nationalist articles like this.

That seems to be a very strong misstatement you make about the website, possibly crossing into libel.
After reading the article, there do seem to be some problems. It looks eerily similar to the treatment I received recently, and I'm still trying to figure out why it is that administrators seem not bound by the rules and why there is no recourse for normal users who see something wrong.
Multiple people have emailed me or left messages suggesting I return to editing, but as of yet I am unconvinced that this is viable after seeing how wikipedia really operates. What I see here does not reflect well on the encyclopedia and does not give me hope that there is any reason to contribute.
