Kudos to Donald Trump for making every Republican who votes against releasing the Epstein files look even more like they're guilty of running cover for a president who was closely involved with a notorious sex trafficker.

Today in history, 1837: Elijah Lovejoy is killed by a pro-slavery mob while defending the press of his antislavery newspaper, the Alton Observer. The event galvanized the abolitionist movement, making Lovejoy a martyr for both the antislavery cause and freedom of the press. /1

03.11.2025 06:56 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This message is from me, Jimbo Wales, founder of Wikipedia. I believe that Wikipedia is at its best when we can have reasonable discussion rooted in a commitment to write articles that reflect a neutral point of view. I believe that's especially important on highly difficult or contentious topics. I was asked point-blank in a high profile media interview about this article, and I answered with transparency and honesty: this article fails to meet our high standards and needs immediate attention. As many of you will know, I have been leading an NPOV working group and studying the issue of neutrality in Wikipedia across many articles and topic areas including โZionismโ. While this article is a particularly egregious example, there is much more work to do. It should go without saying that I am writing this in my personal capacity, and I am not speaking on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation or anyone else! I assume good faith of everyone who has worked on this Gaza โgenocideโ article. At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipediaโs voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of WP:NPOV and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV that requires immediate correction. Remember: "This policy is non-negotiable, and the principles upon which it is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus."
A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: โMultiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israelโs actions in Gaza as genocide.โ What Iโm asking for Be bold and start editing (WP:BOLD). Move from debate to concrete improvements immediately. Assume good faith (WP:AGF). Avoid personalizing disagreements. Focus only on text and sources. Attribute, donโt assert (WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV). The lead and body must not declare a legal conclusion. Present who says what, with attribution and dates.
Balance by due weight (WP:UNDUE). Include significant, high-quality sources from all sidesโgovernments, courts, NGOs, commentators. No side should speak in Wikipediaโs own voice. Use the best sources (WP:RS / WP:V). Prefer primary official statements and major secondary coverage. Avoid synthesis (WP:SYN / WP:NOR). Clarify scope. Separate factual reporting on conduct and casualties from legal characterization. Editors with strong, policy-compliant sources who have felt sidelined are welcome. Your participation is needed now. Editors are reminded this article falls under the ArabโIsraeli conflict topic area; all participation must comply with the corresponding editing restrictions and civility expectations. By focusing on verifiable sources and neutrality, we can quickly deliver an article that meets our standards for contentious topics. โ Jimbo Wales Jimbo Wales (talk) 16:03, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations.
Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.
