Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 18:00, 5 July 2005

I think that the article “censor” should redirect to this censorship article. When most people use the word “censor,” they're using it as a verb, to describe the act of censorship. Such links should go directly to this article. The article about censors in ancient Rome should be renamed “Censor_Ancient_Rome” or whatever, with links provided for the small minority of people who are actually looking for that discussion when they type in or link to “censor.” -Blackcats 7 Feb, 2005, 04:30 GMT

That's why you don't look up verbs.

Quotation

I don't understand the quotation and it doesn't seem relevant to the article (although it is an interesting logical fallacy). I'm removing it. Ambush Commander 04:39, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Question, is the edit policy of wikipedia a form of cenorship?

History needed

This article currently covers censorship as it exists at the moment, but is lacking in any sense of history -- and this is a subject with a large history, in which current positions and actions are much influenced by that history. (Some UK content is also needed.) DES 07:51, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Israeli Censorship?

Why is Israeli censorship considered "POV pushing" when censorship by other governments is fair game in this article? I didn't write the deleted line but I don't agree with its deletion. What do others think? (this is the edit I mean) --csloat 1 July 2005 23:49 (UTC)

The article mentions almost no other countries, the entry was unsourced and not representative of the true situation of freedom in Israel, and the editor in question is obsessed with finding negative to say about Jews and Israel, and has attempted to do so in close to a dozen articles now - that's POV pushing.

--Jayjg, you have attempted hundreds of false pro-Israel and Zionist edits. This is yet another case of your POV pushing. The subject of the section is wartime censorship. The IDF is the most notable group using press censorship at the moment. You are obsessed with pushing lies and pro-Jewish propaganda into Misplaced Pages. Reread the text and before you reactionarily edit. From Haaretz: ] "A sense of deja vu has settled in at the newsrooms of the print press and the broadcast stations. The military censor, which had seemed to be an annoyance that had passed from this world, has been resurrected and once again is making things difficult for the free press in Israel.

Of all the countries in the world, it is Israel that has the least free press? No mention of the dozens of dictatorships and military governments which severly censor the press in Africa, South America, Asia? Israel ranks 44th on "Reporters without Borders" World Press Freedom ranking. Why don't you first focus on the 122 countries that scored worse that Israel? Obvious POV pushing.

Add them if you like, but stop deleting others' contributions because you have a pro-Israel POV. The IDF censorship issue is applicable to the text discussing wartime. Reread the text! Stop reverting and making ridiculous reactionary edits.69.209.239.161 5 July 2005 16:54 (UTC)

NPOV demands that this (and every other) article focus on the most prominent examples of the phenomenon, and not simply emphasize relatively unimportant examples - otherwise you introduce systemic bias into the article. Jayjg 5 July 2005 17:21 (UTC)

I do know that Israel has a formal censorship policy. If you want to comment on what you know about other countries, please contribute as well. It would be POV pushing to delete factual information. Sorry.69.209.239.161 5 July 2005 18:00 (UTC)
