[edit] Apologia for racism and far right extremism on Wikipedia

The tone of this article is clearly apologetic, and thus represents someone's Point of View (ie that of a Nazi or an apologist for such). A great many of the claims therein indicate a strong bias toward Mr Hoffman's far right views. Much of this needs to be re-written by someone who isn't a fan of the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.184.213 (talk) 20:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] holocaust denial

Is Hoffman involved in holocaust denial or not? If so of it not, some quotes would be helpful. Hmains 20:13, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

the preceding is a post from Mr. Hoffman's weblog. I leave it to you to decide whether this constitutes "denial" Macdata 00:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link - he is a very good writer. I can't understand why an obvious Wiki Holocaust Project article would give a link that gives such a good exposition of the denial viewpoint. But thanks anyway.159.105.80.141 11:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

He used to work for the New York Times, so I'd be surprised if he wasn't a good writer. He just also happens to be a fruitcake. Darkmind1970 15:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MichaelAHoffman.jpg

Image:MichaelAHoffman.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
