sensible repository to work with. The inanity with
Israeli
parliamentary works was the key point in a talk on the subject at
Wikimania.
I was in the front front row at that Wikimania presentation, and
happen to be good friends with the presenter who is a lot of fun to
hang out with. Due to my background, I'm sympathetic to issues that
the Israeli chapter have experienced.
So, I'm genuinely afraid to say it was more of an emotive response.
The extensive criticism of Commons administrators made was not well
founded. That images had to be removed and that there were
consequences was an issue that should have been better managed. The
law and evidence presented (or its inadequacy in terms of
verifiability) is not the fault of Commons administrators as a class,
in practice this was a complex case and a highly politically charged
one, Commons should not be hung out to dry because of it.
