Wikipedia: "Our Standards of Neutrality"

"Art workers across so-called-Canada demanding cultural institutions divest from settler colonialism and genocide."
"[Stop Art Washing] is hosting a Wikipedia 101 session [with] hands-on editing [on October 22 at an undisclosed location]."
"[The purpose of the event is] to populate Wikipedia entries honouring martyred Palestinian artists and exposing the Canadian, Zionist backers of genocide."
 "Against attempts to erase Palestinian martyrs and conceal the Imperialist perpetrators of Israel’s genocide, this Wiki Edit-a-Thon remedies the narrative, towards Palestinian liberation."

Canadian group hosts Wikipedia “Edit-a-Thon” to honor Palestinian artists                     Roya News
 
Yet another anti-Zionist group in Canada to be heard from. Palestinians and their groupies just cannot think up schemes fast enough to satisfy their rapacious appetite for celebrating Palestinians' penchant for terrorism and their insalubrious joy at any opportunity to take credit for originating everything that the world ever depended upon to advance toward prosperity and comfort as authentic Palestinian initiatives. The one Palestinian initiative that few care to imitate or take possession of is their pathological drive to prove how courageous their death-cult is.
 
That even as they everlastingly boast of their victimhood to  elicit empathy from those who are quick to have their inner core of Jew-hate elevated to a 'just cause', they take pride in their devotion to the goal of killing Jews in Israel while in the West where they migrate to infiltrate socially, academically, as noble victims of Israeli colonialist-grabbing land claimed by Palestine as their own with no historical or ancestral attestation other than that which identifies it as the traditional heritage of Judea, they claim indigeneity is theirs, not that of Jews. 
 
What a novel idea, to use Wikipedia as a platform to celebrate the courage and honour inherent in suicide bombing by lone martyrs, or swarms of Palestinian terrorists streaming in their thousands into Israel from Gaza in an organized bedlam of savage bestiality to maim and to rape, burn entire families alive in their homes, raze farming villages, looting and shooting as they race toward the next unaware civilian enclave to destroy the lives of children, their mothers and grandparents. What courage that takes!

 Now the advertising of a training session to prepare avid Jew-haters for the practical work of using and abusing Wikipedia's popular influence on the unwary and the trusting to present the nobility of mass murderers as victims of Islamophobic Jews whose mission in life is solely to destroy the presence of Palestinians in a fell swoop of genocide is underway. The plan to flood Wikipedia with these special entries to persuade the undecided that they too can aspire to raving lunacy on the platform is set to go.
 
Needless to say Wikipedia, considering itself a reliable purveyor of facts and statistics for the purpose of educating and informing, has policies in place for the platform not to be defiled as "a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda". All content, it insists, must be composed and presented from a strictly neutral point of view; say for example, how the BBC and the CBC present news coverage of the Middle East; 'just the facts, Ma'am'... 
 
Coverage on Wikipedia of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the wake of the atrocities committed by Palestinian terrorists in southern Israel on 7 October 2023 "has surged significantly". Leading to "criticism from advocates on both sides for perceived bias". Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, was asked about an entry on the "Gaza genocide" described as an "ongoing, intentional and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip carried out by Israel". 
 
His response was that "It needs to change. I think it's just terrible. It doesn't live up to our standards of neutrality, and I think it's very problematic." Earning the ire of the very 'unbiased' composers of the page in question. No fewer than 27 unbiased writers contributed to a Wikipedia page on the genocide case against Israel lodged by South Africa at the International Court of Justice. Researchers in their turn identified "patterns of anti-Israel bias among power-user editors". 
"Alarming patterns of bias [revealed] that can cascade through the digital information ecosystem, infecting everything from search engine results to academic citations to social media posts and even AI training data."
