Talk:Criticism of Holocaust denial

There's not need for an article copying the (faulty) structure of the way things are in Wikipedia. Ori Redler 08:28, 8 February 2007 (CST)

I admit it was mostly a reminder to work on the article later. How would you suggest we proceed? Just a single article on Holocaust denial and include the criticism on it?--Lise Sedrez 00:18, 9 February 2007 (CST)

I'll start by saying that I'm not an expert on this subject (my experience is limited to a BA seminary work and some articles in popular press) so my comments should be taken with more than a pinch of salt.

That noted, I think the stuff in WP is there anyhow, so we can always go back to it if and when we think it's good and helpful for our purpose. Since we do not want to start off trying to "jump over our belly-button" this naturally leads to trying to write a good article about Holocaust denial. The current one, also from Wikipedia, seems rather horrible, as it lacks any discrimination between what's important and what's not. listing Robert Faurisson alongside a common internet troll like Matt Giwer as "notable holocaust deniers" is typical, as is the total lack of historical prespective in this article. Of course, there may be a legitimate need for an extended article about Criticism of Holocaust denial, but that should be determined once we have a good, solid start with Holocaust denial and feeling that there is a real need for it. I think that when we copy from WP, we also copy the whole history of this article and the "politics" of the articles, with which we should not be burdened. Ori Redler 18:26, 9 February 2007 (CST)

I have to agree with pretty much everything you've here said, Ori. --Larry Sanger 18:32, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Agreed, too. I'd like to add that any articles that are Holocaust related are going to among those that we simply must get right in terms of neutrality. Stephen Ewen 18:40, 9 February 2007 (CST)

Okay. Maybe the best solution is then to delete these articles (which I had pretty much thought as placeholders, anyway), and I will try to come up with a good article on Holocaust denial by next week. --Lise Sedrez 18:59, 9 February 2007 (CST)

it was part of an on going discussion - editing last week. Do not delete please. Robert Tito | Talk 14:45, 19 February 2007 (CST)

denial of holocaust

May I remind you all that in the vast part of the EU denial of the holocaust is a criminal offense, liable for at least 5 years in prisonment. Robert Tito |  Talk  10:41, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

May I remind you that Internet websites are not bound by every law of every country in the world? --Larry Sanger 15:51, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

That doesn't make my statement not true. Besides many europeans do feel very strongly about it. Too bad the USA is the largest source of nazi and fascist propaganda in the world at the moment. But then that is a personal feeling, shared by many from my part in the world. Robert Tito |  Talk  16:21, 6 April 2007 (CDT)

Robert, I don't understand why you are reminding us of this fact. Rest assured that I shall make a point of avoiding denial of the Holocaust if and when I'm in that vast part of Europe in the future. However, what are the implications of this information with regard to us editing this article?—Nat Krause 18:18, 6 April 2007 (CDT)
