Revision as of 16:04, 25 October 2009
Hello,
I noticed that they took out your last edit, is there any reason why that keeps happening? I was unable to add it back in as I, evidently, have not been autoconfirmed just yet.
"Within 15 years of Columbus' arrival in the Americas, millions of Native Americans (estimates range between 1 and 3 million) died from disease, murder, and from being overworked in the gold and silver mines in which they were enslaved.[1][2], including entire peoples' such as the Taino[3] and the Arawak[4]. Columbus was also the founder of the practice of European slavery in the Americas.[5]"
Are you able to put it back in??
- It keeps happening (i.e. they keep removing the edit) because a large portion of the editors on Wikipedia are conservative, pro-American zealots, who like to push their POV as fact, and do not like any history that negatively reflects on the U.S. or its allies to be talked about on Wikipedia, regardless of how well-sourced or factual it is. This leaves wikipedia with a very strong systemic bias. I just didn't feel like battling them on Columbus right then, while Columbus day was going on. I figured I'd wait until the hype died down, and there were less crazies guarding the page before trying to make any reasonable changes. Thanks for your interest and for notifying me, though.

Don't be discouraged
- Please do not be discouraged. I understand how frustrating editing the Israel page can be, I gave up on that long ago. Its a page that is heavily patrolled but rather stubborn editors motivated more by POV than WP:V and WP:NPOV. Your contributions to other Israel, or more likely, Palestine related articles, would be more than welcome. Please visit WP:IPCOLL and WP:PALESTINE for more information.
