Good evening,
I have a very difficult problem on the french wikip�dia. I got here maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. I read all the information provided, that explain what wikipedia is, and especally, the fact it is respecting neutrality, and that everypoint of view should be there.
I am rather biaised it is true, but I think the other people are also biaised. I have been very strongly insulted, many times. It is true that at first my texts were not very neutral. But I have made efforts and I am still insulted. What I write is deleted, and I am call a vandal.
This evening, I wrote several things about racisme and racialisme, and race.
All my texts were deleted several times. Racialisme because Aoineko said it do not exist. Race because it is not true it exist human races. But I know that some people agree that humans are made of several races.
The definition of race I gave is:
Une race est un terme d�finissant un groupe humain qui serait distinct des autres par des caract�ristiques biologiques particuli�res. On a baptis� racialisme, la croyance persistante en l'existence de races.
This text is deleted and Aoineko said it was un "tas de merde". Just because they say race do not exist, so this article should not exist
I think it must exist. What do you think ?
Regards
Philippe

You are in the right, they are in the wrong. This is the Wikipedia, not the Ostrichpedia. (Ostriches are famous for hiding their heads in the sand as if that would make a problem go away)

I would like to soften this. Phillippe admits that his early articles were biased and inappropriate. So it is easy to understand that people were wary of him.
But it sounds like he wants to contribute in a neutral manner, now, and that would be great.

The usual solution to conflicts of this type, if all parties are working together in goodwill, is to not have the article assert that race exists, or that race does not exist. Rather, the article should explain the concept, the arguments for and against, without drawing any conclusions.
