Fred wrote I have now looked at the Wikipedia article, "Israel". It is acceptable without editing for inclusion in Internet-Encyclopedia; that is, it is written from a sympathetic point of view, If you will compare the article, "People's Republic of China", which includes sharply negative information (Most of which I have insisted on including) you will see that the Israel article fails to achieve a neutral point of view.
Any attempt to add in /anything/ that is not pro-Israeli immediately leads to RK going ballistic and screaming anti-semitism. Even something as basic as mentioning that while Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital, most of the world refuses to accept that designation, led to screams of 'pro-Arab' and 'anti-semitism'. Note, it was not being said that Jerusalem was not Israel's capital. All that was being pointed out was that while 3 world states accept that designation, 100+ don't and regard the 1948 capital, Tel Aviv, as the capital, as a result basing their embassies and diplomatic missions there. That there is a dispute on the issue is 100% correct but the add in was /very/ careful not to agree with either side, and to list Jerusalem with an explanatory footnote. But even that drove RK and a few others ballistic.
The dispute on PROC was not over whether one could include negative information, just the manner in which it was being added in, which struck many people as being, probably unintentionally, POV. The issue was simply one of trying to reformat the add-in in an NPOV manner. On Israel, any attempt to be express anything other than a pro-Israel POV is blocked. Criticism of any sort is shunted off to daughter articles, leaving only a one-sided pro-Israel argument in the article. It is an outrageous betrayal of the many Jewish people who have been victims of anti-semitism for RK and others to call attempts to add some balance 'anti-semitism'. It is nothing of the sort but his insidious attempts to silence any balanced criticism is damaging wiki and the credibility of the articles RK thinks he is defending.
