== The "criticism" section == | |||
I have taken out the claim | |||
*Many users at RationalWiki will remove factual material, even if backed up by sources ... | |||
First, there was only one cite, not "many users". Second, the article in question was (as so many things on RW are) a "humor" article. People disagree on the construction of humor articles, and so this sort of thing shouldn't be all that surprising. In fact, being a wiki, editorial changes should never be surprising. | |||
The material that was removed was, in fact, an actual article cite to an actual web page, and was therefore "true". However, from looking at what was going on, that material wasn't funny, and wasn't in keeping with the tone of the humor article. The person adding it had legitimate issues with the way various political groups view the Jewish community. Those valid concerns are appropriate for another article. But the reverting person felt that they were turning a humor page into an actual controversy page, which wasn't what the page was supposed to be about. | |||
Before people go looking for other instances of RW people removing "factual material", keep in mind that, on a wiki, people remove stuff, and edit it and move it around, all the time. Including things that are in fact true. | |||
Furthermore, I would guess that the person putting that in, presumably Deborah, feels that RW people are removing factual material from ''Conservapedia''. That is a valid criticism, and vandalism of CP is discussed in the "criticism" section. [[User:William Ackerman|William Ackerman]] 13:42, 25 August 2008 (EDT) | |||
