Wikipedia banned eight volunteer editors from making changes to articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict, following a ruling on Thursday by the online encyclopedia’s Arbitration Committee.

In June, Wikipedia editors targeted the Anti-Defamation League, declaring it an “unreliable source” whose data could not be relied upon when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

When Wikipedia first announced disciplinary action against the Wikipedia editors, the ADL issued a press release praising the decision “in the wake of a massive effort by anti-Israel editors to spread misinformation and hate across the platform.”

ADL listed all but one of the banned anti-Israel editors. It named “Iskandar323,” “Selfstudier,” “Nableezy,” “Levivich” and “Nishidani” as “being part of a bad-faith campaign in an attempt t o undermine the credibility of ADL.”

    Umm, you accused me of sourcing information on the site he founded.

    Yes!! And as we’ve established now, it’s run by the Randian Zionist etc. cabal. Why would you believe the filthy, propagandist lies published there smearing dear revolutionary Jimbo Wales?

    (You’ve already turned this into a farce, so I’m going to treat it like one.)
