[edit] Talk page archived
I've WP:ARCHIVEd this talk page using the move option. Anyone wishing to continue a old discussion should copy-and-paste the wikitext of the relevant section of the old archive into this page (at the bottom of the page, I guess). Thanks, CWC(talk) 09:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV tag removed
User 68.43.135.155 (talk • contribs) recently removed the Template:npov tag from this article. Is "the neutrality of this article" now beyond dispute? If a sufficient number of contributors dispute the article's neutrality, we probably should put the tag back. Comments, please? Thanks, CWC(talk) 06:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects
I've just rewritten the text about redirects. Here's what we had before, including text recently added by user 71.163.15.57 (talk • contribs) (shown in green):
- When such confrontations trigger a stampede of visitors from hostile sites, Johnson sometimes redirects the traffic thus generated to the Israel Defense Forces homepage. An example of this redirect can be experienced by clicking any links from this site<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drmenlo.com/lgfquiz/ |title=Redirection of anti-LGF site visitors}}</ref> to LGF.
I understood the original text to mean that Johnson would redirect traffic away during the "stampede" and cancel the redirection afterwards. But 71.163.15.57 is right: the redirections are permanent. (I did a little experiment using Wget and found that any request appearing to come from http://www.jewschool.com/ is redirected.) So I've replaced the text shown above with:
- Johnson has configured his website to redirect visitors from some anti-LGF sites, including many of those listed below, to the Israel Defense Forces homepage.
If anyone has evidence of LGF using redirects as temporary anti-stampede measures, we'll need to undo my edit. Cheers, CWC(talk) 09:19, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] question about adding external links
what are the requirements for a link to be added under "pro" or "anti" column. Can they be any written article about LGF, or does it have to meet some sort of standards? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.117.120.41 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
