I think this person just digs deciding what is cool. While the deletion notice was removed and the entry updated (users who update an entry can remove the deletion notice if they address it in their edit comments), this same person immediately posted notices saying the entry is not formatted correctly and that some data is "not verified." Frankly, in this case, I think its more a case of being hit by a "wikipedia snob"/cultural cop who gets off on deciding what is and isn't "worthy" than a political issue -- but who knows. In any case, this person needs a hobby. They are way too focused on the Israellycool -- and other -- entries. I think we all need to be vigilant and keep adding to the entry until this person grows tired of picking on this and moves on to an entry about something else. Or, like others have mentioned, maybe Wikipedia isn't worth the hassle. Although, for me, its the principle of the thing now!

Wikipedia is full of smart asses. You'll have to fight daily to protect your page from vandals. Same comment as everyone else. Wikipedia is full of smart asses.

I once saw Wikipedia delist a blog inside TLB's top 25 as "non relevant". I said it before (It was me), Wikipedia is partial against not-left-enough blogs. Make an effort, but please don't take Wikipedia too seriously, they're as rotten as most of Mainstream Media. Don’t bother (too much) with TruthLaidBear.

I wonder if it was the same guy who succeeded in deleting us. Good luck to you. Do you know who wanted it deleted? I wonder if it was the same guy who succeeded in deleting us. Good luck to you.
