[edit] Evidence presented by edgarde
A summary can be found in my statement.
[edit] POV linkage by Mr. Knodel
Daniel E. Knodel's edits in Sex tourism#External_links are consistent with a policy of pro- sex tourism promotional POV, adding links that seem like good PR diff diff, and removing links that cast an unfavorable light.
[edit] Deletion of child prostitution links
Daniel E. Knodel deleted links critical of sex tourism involving children diff diff diff diff, with Edit summaries suggesting it were a separate, unrelated topic. Even links not specific but mentioning child sex tourism.
[edit] Segregation of unfavorable links into "Child sex tourism"
When this became untenable diff, Daniel E. Knodel created diff an External links subheading for "Child sex tourism", to which he moves links about Sex tourism that include information about "Child sex tourism". This favors his POV because references critical of Sex tourism often mention young sex workers, leaving only very sunny (if insubstantial) links in the "Sex tourism" section.
I explained why this was a bad idea here diff. Daniel E. Knodel reinstated anyway diff diff.
[edit] John Hopkins Protection Project
Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies' site contains two lengthy articles specificly on "Sex tourism"[1][2], plus more on related topics. A site search for "Sex tourism" gets 114 hits. They are not flattering however to Daniel E. Knodel's POV.
One of Daniel E. Knodel's favorite links to delete diff diff diff diff diff diff diff.
I protested diff this deletion, but Daniel E. Knodel continues to delete the link diff diff unexplained, as part of other reversions. He explains on this Evidence pagediff.
Daniel E. Knodel has not restored John Hopkins to the current hybrid page he made "posting all avaliable content under review"diff.
[edit] POV edits by Mr. Knodel
[edit] "Child sex tourism" distinction
Note how Daniel E. Knodel's External Link deletions classify "Child sex tourism" as not "Sex tourism", rather than as a subset of sex tourism.
Daniel E. Knodel overwrites an intro paragraph on child prostitution diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff preferring variants of:
Often the term "sex tourism" is mistakenly interchanged with the term "child sex tourism". A tourist who has sex with a child prostitute possibly commits a crime against international law, in addition to the host country, and the country that the tourist is a citizen of. The term "child" is often used as defined by international law and refers to any person below the age of consent.
... typically removing mention of law enforcement difficulties.
In Edit summaries, Daniel E. Knodel calls this distinction from "child sex tourism".
The difference between sex tourism and child sex tourism is self-evident for readers with even minimal english literacy; I protested this on the Talk page diff. Daniel E. Knodel hasn't provided references on this alleged confusion.
It seems this attempt isn't to prevent sex tourism from being confused with child sex tourism, but to prevent it from being associated with child sex tourism. This would be PR, and not encyclopedic in light of much of the available research (notably in links Daniel E. Knodel deletes from this article).
[edit] Paragraph listing bad effects
When Daniel E. Knodel restores the above "distinction" paragraph, he usually removes a list of common issues with sex tourism diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff
Current version of the paragraph Daniel E. Knodel deletes:
The United Nations opposes sex tourism citing health, social and cultural consequences for both tourist home countries and destination countries, especially in situations exploiting gender, age, social and economic inequalities in sex tourism destinations.[3][4][5]
Please read his objection diff to the United Nations paragraph.
Daniel E. Knodel asserts that "There are no direct quotes mentioned to support this claim..." However, it is almost verbatim from first reference.
[...] Aware of the grave health as well as social and cultural consequences of this activity for both tourist receiving and sending countries, especially when it exploits gender, age, social and economic inequality at the destination visited;[...]
As this is part of a lengthy, complex sentence, I see no need to quote more "directly". Daniel E. Knodel's requirement ignores pertinent discussiondiff and common sense, and seem like an attempt to find a "technicality" to exclude information that does not favor his POV.

The two abovementioned edits change the introductory section from a concise list of issues about sex tourism to a concise defense of sex tourism as no place for people who want sex with the underaged. This is POV and misleading. |
[edit] Redefinition of sex tourism
Thought this was over diff. Daniel E. Knodel references the issue on this Evidence page diff.
Daniel E. Knodel has a novel definition diff of "Sex tourism" (an established concept[6][7]) as including activities such as observing other cultures and visiting sex museums — though unable to cite referencesdiff, and with no support (and majority opposition) from an RfC request. Reverts? You bet. diff diff diff diff
Main defenses:
- "'sex tourism' has acquired a derogatory connotation"diff
- original research
- assertions of academic credentials and authority on the subject
- lists of links to the sort of businesses he wanted included in his novel definition.diffdiff
(These lists are the closest Daniel E. Knodel has come to providing citations for any of his statements on the Sex tourism article.)
Daniel E. Knodel dismisses my assertion that Google searches on "Sex tourism" finds few if any references to sex museums, swinger's clubs or FKK's with the argument "Thank you for telling us about your Google searches, but anyone could do that."diff

Daniel E. Knodel links other pages to Sex tourism, perhaps to direct traffic to his site or increase its Googlerank. diff diff diff diff diff diff diff diff.

found in a Talk thread
I've noticed a remarkable coincidence: Litvinenko was born in 1962 and died in 2006, and Steve Irwin was also born in 1962 and died in 2006. Also:
- Both died in an English-speaking country.
- Both died of poisoning of some sort.
- Both died in a place other than the one where they were born.
- Both were involved in dangerous activities during their lives.

- OMG your right!!
- Oh wait no... Steve died of a riped out heart.
- And you are wrong about Steves death location since he died off the coast of Queensland, AUS.
- *Both died in an English-speaking country. WTF??
- *Both were involved in dangerous activities during their lives. So has almost everyone who ever died.
-
- Your reading to much into this and coming out with a 'observation' and looking none the wiser.--Doom Child 07:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
