Somebody has emailed me evidence that you are an Anti-Israeli activist. Is it true that you are involved in that type of activity? Do you think it is appropriate to import your real world campaigns into Wikipedia? I recommend reading an essay I started a couple years ago: [[Wikipedia:Advocacy]].

Seems like things are picking up again at United States and state terrorism. There is a new editor who was originally going to push for the 10th deletion discussion, but it seems like I've at least motivated him not to waste everyone's time there. But now he's trying to tag the article as POV/Synth without explaining why the tags should stay up, other than the usual vague explanation along the lines of: "This article is totally biased. It's citing leftie nutjobs like Chomsky instead of unbiased people (i.e. everyone who unconditionally supports the U.S. government).". I see that you were involved in a discussion about removing unjustified tags a while back, and thought you might be interested. -- Jrtayloriv (talk) 23:05, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- Is this considered canvassing? Just curious. V7-sport (talk) 01:50, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, please disregard the newbie question, I see that it isn't. V7-sport (talk) 01:53, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- You are correct. It's definitely something I'm interested in and was glad for alert; I can't always watch every page I'd like to. CarolMooreDC (talk) 03:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Your recent comment
In my opinion it's generally best to very carefully avoid commenting on the content & not the contributor everywhere on Wikipedia and especially on sensitive topics like this one. So I don't think that a comment like "some people are so paranoid thinking that the simple title supports the allegation, they freak out" is helpful. There's a reason why topics like anti-semitism, racism, Islamophobia, etc. get people upset: because there are currently living people, some of them Wikipedia editors, who have suffered from such things. That has no relevance to how we should name an article, of course, but it's very relevant in how we should deal with & describe our fellow editors. Thanks for your understanding and all your hard work on Wikipedia this year, and wishing you a happy New Year!CordeliaNaismith (talk) 16:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- I did think of that after left computer and was thinking of revisiting. thanks for prompting. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:34, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
Activism on Wikipedia
Somebody has emailed me evidence that you are an Anti-Israeli activist. Is it true that you are involved in that type of activity? Do you think it is appropriate to import your real world campaigns into Wikipedia? I recommend reading an essay I started a couple years ago: Wikipedia:Advocacy.
