Wow. Rarely does Godwin have such a blatant real-life exception...
The online "sources" for that article are mostly in english, BTW, and
you can gather some perspective about their publishers at their sites:
1. http://www.stormfront.org/
2. http://wake-up-america.net/
3. http://usa-the-republic.com/
4. http://www.jewwatch.com/
5. http://www.marxists.org/
6. http://www.asymetria.org/
The article doesn't seem to exactly have an unbiased set of sources,
or even a wide range of biased sources, representing differing
perspectives on the article's topic, which could be detrimental to
the pillar of NPOV.
Pillars are all wikipedia, not just language spaces, right? http://

In the EN space, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Extremist_sources would certainly be a
criteria that be applied to this article.
Is there a similar policy or guideline spelled out in the RO space?
