•Top Wikipedia editor: 'Problematic' coverage of Israel reflects ...
Ha'aretz, Israel - Cnaan Liphshiz
By Cnaan Liphshiz Wikipedia's coverage of Israel-related issues is "problematic," leading Israeli internet researchers claimed yesterday at the Wikipedia Academy 2009 Conference dealing with the world's largest encyclopedia. ...View the articleThis was a fascinating article. Just one quote:
"Dror Kamir, a leading Israeli Wikipedia promoter, showed how Lod is not listed as a city in Israel in Wikipedia's Arabic-language version. "
Apparently they see nothing wrong with the English Wikipedia article about Lod, which contains such gems as "According to the Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela, in 1170 there was a Jewish dyer living in Lod with his family".
And that is
all it say, about the citizens of this city ..from the Crusader period to the 20.th century.
...Am I the only one who feels,
something, maybe, is missing from the picture here?
