Wikipedia:Allegations of allegations of apartheid apartheid

Allegations of allegations of apartheid apartheid (AAAA) draw a controversial analogy between Wikipedia's coverage of nations against which controversial allegations of apartheid have not been made, and the apartheid regime of Israel. Sorry, America. Oh, no, wait, it's Saath Efrika, isn't it? It is asserted that this results in a de facto apartheid, a form of discrimination against those states lacking the necessary allegations of apartheid article.
Official positions
[edit]
Jamaica: A Government spokesman for Jamaica had noted that the lack of an article on allegations of Jamaican apartheid (now created) was resulting in his nation being falsely portrayed as peaceful and tolerant. Jamaica has reportedly commissioned its Foreign Office to collect the necessary evidence and sources for a well-supported Wikipedia article on Jamaican apartheid, as soon as they've finished their spliffs and come back from the beach.
Other complaints have been made concerning the fact that Wikipedia's "allegations of apartheid" series is based purely upon national lines, and not racial or ethnic themes. An aggrieved spokesman for the Terribly Important Nation of Cornwall (TINC) proclaimed that "We consider absence of Allegations of Cornish Apartheid to be a serious slight to our robust nationhood, and are considering pursuing the case through the Commission for Racial Equality", the colloquially-named "Cornish Waiver". Similar complaints have also been made by the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, the latter commenting that "Wikipedia seems to be a very English thing". Prominent figures in Edinburgh and Westminster also decried the lack of attention paid to the UK's minorities, with frequent references made to the West Lothian question reversed, the so-called noitseuq naihtol tsew. Representatives of the Isle of Man have announced that a commission has been established to determine an appropriate response. Representatives of the Isle of Wight were on the yacht and could not be reached for comment.

Prince Roy of Sealand declared that while the criterion of having a population greater than one precludes his country from introducing policies that could be perceived as apartheid, that policy is "representative of the bigotry inherent in Wikipedia's policy which insists that countries have people. We demand the creation of a new category 'Nations that would have allegations of apartheid made against them if they had a sustainable population.'"
Wikipedia policy
[edit]
Wikipedia's policy of megalomaniacal point of view requires that all countries, including micronations, have an Allegations of apartheid article. Wherever possible this should be drawn from primary sources, the more polemical the better. The sister project WikiApartheid exists for the collection of primary allegations of apartheid for use in allegations articles.
Allegations of apartheid articles should be created by substing the {{apartheid-allegations}} tag with the country name as an optional argument. This automatically adds the {{weasel}}, {{npov}}, {{articleissues}}, {{globalize}}, {{original research}}, {{primary sources}}, {{notability}}, {{prod}} and {{afd}} tags. Ideally the text of the article should be at least as long as the tags, unless this would mean using reliable sources.
Once an AAAA article is started, a delegation of Wikipedia most no[ta]ble POV warriors has to be sent to gather competing versions of The Truth™ and report to Wikipedia about the allegations, reporting each other at least daily on the admin noticeboard, 3RR noticeboard, Wikipedia:Signpost, helpdesk and Requests for Arbitration. The article can be deleted in case members of the delegation fail to get back to Wikipedia within 21 days, with automatic monthly listing at deletion review thereafter. If not deleted, the article instead has an automatic monthly listing at articles for deletion, followed in each case by a deletion review, whatever the outcome.
