Aaron Klein POV edits

Hello Mike Jason, and welcome to Wikipedia. Can you please spell out the 'top radio programs' on which Aaron Klein has appeared. And can you please remove that language? The previous text was "Aaron Klein is an American radio host for Middle East news segments and commentary" which I believe is still true. Language like 'top radio programs' is often referred to as weasel wording in Wikipedia, since it gives no specifics, and it does sound like advertising. Rather than just revert your change, I hoped to give you a chance to justify this deviation from normal Wikipedia practice. Please reply on the article's Talk page, and explain why it is consistent with WP:NPOV. I really don't want to involve administrators in this issue. EdJohnston 22:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The lead paragraph, which should never be altered merely to thump the promotional drums, now reads in accurate and neutral encyclopaedic language: "Aaron Klein is Jerusalem Bureau Chief for the news website WorldNetDaily and writes a weekly column for The Jewish Press. He has regular segments and commentary on American radio programs, and has served as a co-host of ABC Radio's national "The John Batchelor Show" (currently on hiatus)."

Every image ever placed in the article has been uploaded by one or more of these user/IPs. Every such image has been obtained from World Net Daily. All have persistently added add far more external links to that single site than Wikipedia consensus deems appropriate.

All of these user/IPs have repeatedly violated key Wikipedia policies and Wikipedia guidelines, several of which are here referenced in two excerpts:

Conflict of interest

A Wikipedia conflict of interest is an incompatibility between the purpose of Wikipedia to produce a neutral encyclopedia and the individual agendas or aims of editors who are involved with the subject of an article.

This includes promotion of oneself or other individuals, causes, organizations, and companies you work for, and their products, as well as suppression of negative information, and criticism of competitors.

If you have a conflict of interest, you should:

avoid editing articles related to your organization or its competitors;

avoid breaching relevant policies on autobiographies and neutrality

avoid participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;

avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your corporation in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Disruptive editing

This guideline concerns gross, obvious and repeated violations of fundamental policies, not subtle questions about which reasonable people may disagree. A disruptive editor is an editor who:

Is tendentious: continues editing an article or group of articles in pursuit of a certain point for an extended time despite opposition from one or more other editors.

Rejects community input: resists moderation and/or requests for comment, continuing to edit in pursuit of a certain point despite an opposing consensus from impartial editors and/or administrators.

In addition, such editors may:

Campaign to drive away productive contributors: violate other policies and guidelines such as Wikipedia:Civility, Wikipedia:No personal attacks, Wikipedia:Ownership of articles, engage in sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry, etc. on a low level that might not exhaust the general community's patience, but that operates toward an end of exhausting the patience of productive rules-abiding editors on certain articles.
