POV editing

[edit]

I've removed the part describing this man as an 'enthusiastic supporter' of Zundel as it was unsupported by the reference provided. If you want to describe someone in a Wikipedia biography as being an 'enthusiastic supporter' of anything then you need a source in which a thrid-party describes them as such. Drawing conclusions from sources authored by the subject is original research. (Although in this case the conclusion being drawn was a dubious extrapolation anyway.)

Misleading Edit Summaries

[edit]

Antifascist, your continuing edits on this page are in violation of Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons and policy on neutrality and NPOV. Please refrain from continuing to insult me in your edit summaries, and assume good faith in your dealings with all Wikipedia users. Algabal (talk) 20:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As above

[edit]

As the editors above note, the section I just reverted is a serious BLP violation supported by a sole source that doesn't seem to say what is claimed. Maybe I am missing the section of the source where McGowan says "He is an ally of the neo-nazi writer Israel Shamir", where he said he supports "Adolph Hitler's program to massacre and exterminate Jews" and where he said holocaust deniers should "be seen only as courageous victims of Zionist lobbying". If so, please reproduce it below and I will add it back to the article. Thanks. Rockpocket 22:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


To demonstrate his anti-Semitism, one need look no further than Paul Eisen's own website. It is clear from Dr. MacGowan's introduction to one of Eisen's latest works that Dr. MacGowan engages in what may most charitably be called Holocaust revisionism - and what to me smells like Holocaust denial. As for Shamir, well - Shamir is still on the board of DYR, isn't he? posted by Persnickety Marxist — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.59.49.4 (talk) 13:58, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
