[edit] Palestinian exodus

This is a difficult article to edit when you have a strong opinion on the subject, as I gather you do. Wikipedia has a policy of Neutral Point of View, and although the neutrality of this article is disputed, your addition of further and notably POV-biased statements is likely to be reverted.

As for your deletion of a section, I considered that section of sufficiently neutral POV. If you had good reason to delete it (maybe claiming it was POV itself), you are given the opportunity to express that reason in the edit summary, and then further on the article's talk page. You took neither. If you find reason to delete sections of pages, please give that reason (you should use edit summaries in general though).

Treat this as a caution. Too many POV edits could lead to your getting blocked.

I wasn't trying to say that people should adhere to my ideas of neutrality. Inded, I think you'll find my Zionism is quite in agreeance with your POV. I carefully chose the use of the word "caution" and not "warning": a warning would be something coming from me to you as a threat; a caution is something coming from me to you as a suggestion that others might see your actions as something negative. This is especially the case in your continual insistence despite being reverted now 4 times. And presumably going on to use another IP address: 132.74.99.84, which has made the same addition ", initiated by the Arab countries", but has also been known for making other undeniably POV comments.
As to the addition itself, "initiated by the Arab countries", I could find many problems with this that make it not suitable:
  1. it has clearly been added to push a particular POV
  2. it is overly determined to be true: wars are begun by long tensions; in this case a major catalyst was the end of the British mandate and the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel. Since the situation is more complex than that, people should open the article on the war itself and gather their own impression on who started it and who didn't: It seems childish to say "they started it"
  3. it is vague as to the agressors: what is "the Arab countries"? this could be more specific.
You are better off doing some heavy editing of the article to try to neutralise the POV rather than making small additions and removals that reverse the POV.

Wikipedia:POV might be good further reading on how POV can and cannot be used in Wikipedia articles. jnothman talk 23:00, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

1. Although the ip address you listed is in the same region as my own, I did not log in from another computer to make editings . I have no reason to try and conceal what I have edited. I am glad to hear, however, that others find my editing appropriate.

2. What I wrote does not push a POV any more than most of what is written in the article.

3. I appreciate your cautionary note. Indeed, others may perceive negatively what I have edited, as I do others' editings.

4. Good point about me needing to be more specific about the particular countries that took part in initiating the war against the Jews in Israel.
