You can check yourself in the records. But this is all moot. In late April, it was discovered that the "Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America" has apparently organized more than fifty editors via a mailing list to influence content in a pro-Israel manner. And key editors responsible were banned from the site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents/Wikilobby_campaign The three references I mentioned were very much included in the version of the article to pursue the hitjob against O’Loughlin.

If a journalist's claim to fame, is let's say, poor journalistic ability, then one would expect to find a preponderence of criticism. The Media Study Group paper http://www.honestreporting.com/a/specialReports.asp?p=5 and work from the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs; http://www.jcpa.org/JCPA/Templates/ShowPage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=111&FID=254&PID=0&IID=1034 reveals systematic bias on the part of Ed O'Loughlin The blog posts quoted above are not part of the references and are being used to discredit the argument. Moreover the so-called neutral observers in Wikipedia were characterised chiefly by their ignorance of the topic discussed. The postings by Admin Editor Avraham clearly explained the issues, and why O'Loughlin's biography was a valid entry. Kato’s wisdom has superficial appeal though it is illogical.
