In reality, though, neo-Nazis/white supremacists have a great deal of difficulty editing, mostly because they cannot seem to comprehend or abide 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..
