by content policies like [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:V]] and [[WP:RS]]. As well, the
interaction policies like [[WP:CIVIL]] and [[WP:NPA]] seem to elude them.
Given their views, none of this surprises me.
Any more so, than say, religious fanatics or pokemon fans?
Would we allow relatives of victims of Auschwitz to
edit, but not relatives of Nazis who worked at
Auschwitz?
Not sure how either group would be relevant, since Wikipedia considers
personal experience to be a kind of original research, which is not
permitted in articles.
Relevant? Most Wikipedia editors write about their own personal
interests and experiences, hopefully referring to published facts in
the process. It seems likely to me that families of Auschwitz victims
might find their way to [[Auschwitz]]. I'm not saying we would make an
exception to WP:V for them, but they would probably bring a certain
POV
to their editing. In my purely idealist way of seeing this, some sort
of Nazi sympathiser might bring a sort of counter-balance to that POV.
Totally theoretically, of course..
