Hi, Galizia. I'm about to revert your last edit, but I'd like to explain why first.
While I do agree that holocaust denial is a false refutation, it is nevertheless the policy of Wikipedia not to take sides in controversies. We must therefore say that it is CONSIDERED false by SOMEONE, instead of flatly asserting that it is false.
This may seem puzzling to you, but if your read the NPOV policy article, it might become clearer, and lots of us will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Ed Poor
I like what you did at holocaust denial: your edit conforms to the NPOV because you attributed the view properly: "Historians generally agree". You also left room for the alternate viewpoint (which is in my not-so-humble-opinion totally indefensible). Now readers are free to choose whether to side with most historians or some Arabs, and the Wikipedia didn't tell them which to believe. It just accurately reported on who says what. Ed Poor
Hi, Galizia What was your intention with your edit of the Apartheid article? I have reverted it because it just seemed to duplicate parts of the article in a different order. GrahamN 18:26 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
Hi Galizia,
Your recent edit to Islamic fundamentalism can use another revision. The sentence seems to say the same thing twice. I think I know what you're trying to say about Islamism not always being violent, but something more needs to be inserted into that sentence to make it worth reading, now that the (seemingly political) statement about violence has been removed. Cheers, Silver Maple
- This has now been fixed. However, there are some users attempting to deliberately portray Islamic fundamentalism as inherently violent. With the recent departure of one of them, it may be possible to regain balance on these issues.
- To fix this systemic bias, please considering joining Wikipedia:WikiProject_Islam and help remove the bias that has built up here due to lack of Muslim help editing. Please also recruit scholars and fellow Muslims to ensure scholarly accuracy. Perhaps we must all re-read The Muqadimmah! - an anonymous Asharite
