I'm not sure folks should be blocked from making anonymous contributions,
but what I would like you to do, if you have the time and expertise is to
do something about the shape the articles have gotten into.

For example, the Palestine article has become quite long and unwieldy,
impossible really to read or edit.  Is there some graceful way it would be
broken up into managable pieces? For example, could some of the history get
moved, perhaps into articles on Canaan, or the Philistines or Judea or
Roman occupation of Judea?

There is no need to feel like the Little Dutch Boy. You are not alone in
your view that the pages should be accurate nor are your opponents.
