One to keep an eye on is this guy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sean.hoyland). He tries to play the "I'm only doing upkeeping" card but it's clearly part of an organised group adding bias to anything to do with Israel
Very good appaling article. Thank you. I had already noticed the biases of wikipedia when the Middle East and Iran were concerned. Do you know wheter a counter attack has been organized by Isrealis or americans or french ?
No idea though it’s hopefully going to get resolved by Wikipedia’s internal auditing service. Ideally, it won’t just involve removing all those admins and will result in the articles getting locked.
Well I already spoke to a senior editor who’s also a collaborator here on American Dreaming and he says they’re working on it, but I don’t know where they’re at in the process or how pressing this is compared to other contentious subjects, like Russia, Syria, and the like. He made it clear there are a LOT of problems like this and while Israel/Palestine is certainly a loud subject, it might not be as big as others. But I’m just speculating there.
Thank you. Important to follow. But I suppose individuals could start a counter attack. Just as the islamists penetrated Wikipedia , apparently in a very organized way , their opponents could start a counter attack on the same grounds
Wikipedia has banned pro-Israeli viewpoints from making corrections on Israel related pages. The only acceptable editors have been shown to be all pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist. More gaslighting…

Obviously I don’t know this for a fact, but I would be shocked if he wasn’t in the Techs for Palestine Discord group.
Yes. See here for a basic but not comprehensive list. https://www.reddit.com/r/IsraelPalestine/comments/1hd8mw8/wikipedia_suspends_propalestine_editors/m1v7tcv/ Do not presume that the Wikipedia "authorities" will do anything about this situation. Some of the authorities are members of this group.
Thank you!

How to get in touch with wikipedia?

If there's a lot of problems like this, then maybe they should already know how to handle it.

This is correct.
The Husseini family never fell from grace. Arafat was chosen specifically because he was a Husseini on his mother’s side.
