User talk:Naoko77

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This place is bizarre with how they treat people. Being blocked for wanting to clean up the many distortions on the Rachel Corrie page by people who are so grossly biased against her and just from the little bit on one person's userpages makes that pretty clear. Also, looking over what is considered vandalism or not. Disagreeing with how someone wrote something and it being factual does not make it vandalism just because you do not agree with it.

I also think it's incredibly unethical for people to be abusing Wikipedia this way by painting people in such a negative bias. And I do not know how to bring up how people are butchering her page or to have them blocked for vandalism so that makes me in the wrong I suppose.

Since people are incapable of using Wikipedia as a place to find information regarding Rachel Corrie, this link will have to do I guess. http://www.rachelcorrie.org/ism.htm

You're right that there is a lot wrong with the Rachel Corrie article that needs to be corrected. I basically agree with you. To see more of my position, follow the links on my user page (general views) or my contributions on User talk:Mi6QBranch#Good advice (for a brief summary of my views on Rachel Corrie).

But you do need to follow Wikipedia guidelines, otherwise your contributions are likely to be reverted. I think this is a good thing. On Wikipedia you are going to encounter people of a contrary viewpoint, and the policies and guidelines are what enable people of very different views to collaborate to (eventually) produce a good article acceptable to all sides. I think it is much more effective to present all sides of an argument within an article, rather than attempting to suppress stuff you don't like. That way other people can come along and see the faults in the other argument for themselves -- much better in the long run.

I have been involved on the Rachel Corrie article in the past, and have been taking a break from it for a while, but I will be returning to it when I have time. In the meantime it's on my watchlist, and I will revert any obvious vandalism -- that's all I can do for now.

There are plenty of good links at the end of the Rachel Corrie article, in addition to the one you give above.
