Deleting sourced information in CAMERA

Please don't delete sourced information like you did here in the CAMERA article. Since you work for CAMERA, deleting sourced criticism of your organization is a serious conflict of interest. The material you deleted without explanation is:

Journalist and author Robert I. Friedman wrote in 1987 that "CAMERA, the A.D.L., AIPAC and the rest of the lobby don't want fairness, but bias in their favor. And they are prepared to use McCarthyite tactics, as well as the power and money of pro-Israel PACs, to get whatever Israel wants."

You've gotten nowhere with your COIN, except to state that on a minimal number of occasions I had edited from a computer with the same IP address that CAMERA apparently uses. This is hardly evidence of COI, and I will repeat yet again, there is no conflict of interest. I suspect that your continued allegations both here and in discussion pages and forums might eventually be regarded as harassment and incivility.

That said, I'll reinsert your criticism in the criticism section, which will be below the praise and testimomial sections. Gni (talk) 21:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Are the following comments about your behavior by admins (not me) "harrassment and incivility"?:

• "But his protestations about not promoting Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America don't appear convincing. The evidence already presented at WP:COIN seems to show that he (Gni) edited Misplaced Pages from a computer in CAMERA's offices."
• "it certainly appears that you are merely hunting through EVERYTHING that Boodles has done and everything he does in the hopes of finding some sort of "impropriety" that you can make "stick". Look, stop trying to seek revenge against him because you consider him some sort of enemy. This is stalking and is wrong. Instead, return to editing articles, though I would avoid editing the CAMERA article, or any articles related to that one, as your edits there have gotten you into some trouble in the recent past."
• "The tie connecting the IP edits (discussed more clearly at COIN) to the CAMERA organization is clear."
• "The evidence for promotional editing on the articles listed at COIN is so strong that we should be warning the COI-affected editors about possible blocks if they don't desist. Coyness about personal identity sounds incongruous when it comes from the advocate of a political action group that is extremely forceful in putting its own views forward."

You can keep your head in the sand about this if you wish, but ultimately its going to turn out negatively for you, and give your organization a black eye to boot. Boodlesthecat 00:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
