From House of Dumb:

Consider exhibit A: the Wikipedia entry on Charlene Downes. Or rather don’t - it’s been deleted by the Libs. The excuses given are priceless:

“The murder case is not terribly notable; the victim is not notable (or encyclopaedic) at all.”
Unlike Sir Anthony Walker VC MD, who needless to say, is covered.

“nothing paticuarly notable - unless there was an uproar over the girl getting served in food.”

Well, quite. Perhaps sensing that claiming that the case wasn’t notable, providing you ignored all the notable bits, wasn’t necessarily a wining argument, the Leftards switched to Plan B: it’s all about the dark forces.

“People are murdered every day, other than the soapboxing by a far right party which doesn’t prove notability. there’s no evidence of the significance of this one”

From BNP and me, a guy commenting on the incident, writing under the moniker of USpace, suggestive of his being an American, demonstrated the ideological hamster-wheel in which Anglosaxons everywhere are pedalling towards their collective future:

USpace said…
Wow, very sad and maddening story. Hopefully they will fry these terrorist monkeys.

But the Wikipedia entry was probably deleted by some ‘editor’ who is Islamist. Anybody, even you and me, can add to Wikipedia OR delete from it.

This is one of the main criticisms of Wikipedia. Just sign up and follow the instructions and add the post, then keep an eye on it to see wether the Islamists delete it again.

Damn ‘Islamists’, ruining Wikipedia!

For comparison’s sake, here is a wikipedia article, whose purpose is to describe a fictional setting for a video game:

Races and governments

The governments of this time are usually limited to nothing larger than local governments consisting of a village mayor or elder. Part of the reason is that there are very few people (and a lack of dry land) in the post-flood world,

but there are still many diverse races living in and around the Great Sea.

Here is another article, which purports to describe a fictional race of beings who inhabit this fictional island.

Koroks are a race from The Wind Waker. They come from an area called the Forest Haven, but spend most of their lives away from it. They have wooden-like bodies (somewhat similar to Deku Scrubs) and wear what look like masks made from various types of leaves. Koroks are very light, and can travel on the wind by using sprouts as propellers.

If one of these fictional races in a video game were to get into a fictional conflict with another fictional race in the video game, would it be ‘notable’? Would it be worthy of an entry in the Encyclopedia?

Here, of course, is the page on Damilola Taylor, stabbed to death by two black brothers:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damilola_Taylor

There were two other failed prosecutions and much institutional failure in the investigative teams, including forensics, which make the Damilola story unusual and worthy of a place in Wikipedia.

Here, however, is the page on Kiyan Prince, stabbed to death by a Somali named Hannad Hasan:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyan_Prince

Kiyan is accorded a page, apparently, because he had some likelihood of becoming a footballer.

So, let us suppose that a fourteen year old girl named Yassmin Khan had disappeared during a period when leading Muslim organisations were warning police across the north of England that groups of white men were grooming Muslim girls for sexual abuse.  One or two cases of abuse arise, but are smothered by the police and a willing press.

Then Yassmin disappears, only for rumours to surface much later that she had been abused by white men in Blackpool for a considerable time, along with other Muslim girls.  And now a local white butcher and his landlord were under arrest, and charged with disposing of her body in the most shocking and bestial manner imaginable ...

Not sufficiently notable like Charlene Downes?  Not as notable as Anthony Walker, Damilola Taylor, Kiyan Prince?  Or just not black?

The Wikipedia sayanim look very like racists to me.
