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.
