Attack article

This text needs a good cleanup. For now I tagged it POV because it was turned into an attack article. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 09:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cite some examples before tagging. Why is it an "attack article"? It simply has some criticism of the organization. Nothing wrong with that. 71.83.115.3 07:51, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely an attack article. Nothing about the development of the World jewish Congress, and absolutely nothing about the 80 year history of the Congress. Nothing about its projects or accomplishments, affiliations or branches. Just an entire page devoted to heresay over one year's worth of internal organizational politics to make them look bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.199.118.88 (talk) 21:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that this is article is not encyclopedic but an attack piece. Every detail is added to portray the JWC in a negative light, and for this reason I removed the section entitled racist remarks. Quailane (talk) 09:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

everything has their positives and negatives, wikipedia isn't meant for propaganda of any sort. if you find something unbalanced, get it balanced not randomly delete things u don't like. Markthemac (talk) 03:19, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the Internet Nobody Knows You're a Dog

Hebrew, please. By 2010 is there anybody using Wikipedia who is naive enough to think any article relating to Jews isn't going to be an attack piece? Anti-semites used to have to slip around at night leaving pamphlets in the subway. The internet is the promised land for them, as it is for thirteen year old boys. A famous 1993 New Yorker cartoon has two dogs leaving a message on the internet. One says happily to the other, "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog." Abandon all hope of fairness to Jews, ye who enter Wikipedia. But it's okay, because everybody knows about it. Relax. Wiki is still a great impartial source for film articles, paleontology, geography, and lots of interesting things. But not Jewish topics.Profhum (talk) 19:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

World Zionist Congress

What about World Zionist Congress or World Zionist Organization? --92.113.49.71 (talk) 16:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations

There is an organization called the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations that seems related to the WJC, although it's not clear who are the leaders of the group and what it does exactly. If anyone knows about this group, perhaps he should create a stub article on it. ADM (talk) 17:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable Sources and Vandalism

Once in a while vandals are visiting the article and deleting the sourced/verifiable information about the financial problems, internal power struggles, and the racist comments from WJC officials. Several of these edits can be traced back to the IP address: Special:Contributions/194.78.217.252, an ADSL account in Brussel, 252.217-78-194.adsl-static.isp.belgacom.be with a fixed IP address, hosting stern.be; and the single purpose user account Special:Contributions/Thaidigsmann - focused only on WJC and related themes, with no prior contributions or edits in Wikipedia, and no participation on the discussion/talk page. Michael Thaidigsmann, is a member of the [WJC Brussels Office] and using the domain stern.be as one of his email addresses michael.thaidigsmann@stern.be, he is also listed as a press contact for the European Jewish Congress. I assume the edits of thaidigsmann and IP address 194.78.217.252 were done with the good intentions of a lobbyist or pr official, but such efforts are generally exposed within Wikipedia and frowned upon. I will put the article on my watchlist to keep an eye on such vandals, IP addresses, thaidigsmann and other lobbyists; report to the administrators page and ban the accounts if necessary. Thaidigsmann's User_talk:Thaidigsmann talkpage already includes several vandalism warnings. The recent additions to the article however are more than welcome. Wikipedia is not the place for hate speech, corporate propaganda, or lobbyism. Wikipedia strongly defends the NPOV policy and requires balanced articles relying on verifiable sources. It would be even better, if the recent additions can be supported by such sources - if possible not only from the WJC website.Okinawasan (talk) 08:30, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
