WIKIPEDIA GOES ORWELL

Amazing, I checked in to What Really Happened, and the first article I see shows that the entry for WRH in Wikipedia is being considered for deletion.

I wondered why, and then I noted this:

Accusations of anti-Semitism

The site is controversial, because of Rivero's sometimes subtle and oftentimes blatant anti-Israel and anti-Semitic comments. Although he claims to not be anti-Semitic, his editorial comments often times indicate he has strong beliefs in the "Jews control the world" theories. Rivero also appears to give support to backers of the Holocaust denial, including Ernst Zundel, whom he has occasionally likened to Galileo Galilei.

Rivero official stance on accusations of anti-Semitism against him appears to be denial of anti-Semitism, and accusing the Israeli government, AIPAC, Mossad, and other members of what he calls the "Jewish mafia" of putting the Jewish people at risk by likening criticizm of themselves to anti-Semitism.

It's only a matter of time before information cleansing is complete.

Note how the "editors" seem to encourage democratic, rational, non points of view discussions of this matter, while at the same time assuring the "editors" or participants that the matter will not be decided by "vote".

So what is the point of discussion, if the matter is not to be decided by vote tally, and rests with a Wikipedia like "Star Chamber"?

Aren't some of the above views in the article (describing the goals and content of WRH) a matter of opinion?

Delete, does not pass WP:WEB. We have lots of conspiracy cruft, and that is detrimental to the quality and reputation of Wikipedia. The conspiracy soapbox is way out of proportion to its importance. Weregerbil 09:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Delete Does not satisfy any of the criteria for web content. Tom Harrison Talk 13:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)\
Delete, The site does a good job finding articles of interest, but the site is not credible and everything is either a Jewish or American conspiracy. I have no problems with the site, but I dont think its worth recognition of Wikipedia
