:::::No I'm not; I'm suggesting that normal wikipedia policy is to avoid scurrilous slander.  I'm suggesting that Karsh is not a reliable source on the notability of this alleged controversy.  I'm suggesting (and at least one admin appears to agree) that a neutral third party commenting on the controversy as notable would establish more basis for including such a thing in an encyclopedia.  Your claim that I am making an attempt to censor wikipedia is bizarre nonsense.  I have not contacted any government institution asking for Wikipedia to be taken offline.  I have no power to censor wikipedia from anything other than my own computer (and as you can see, I haven't done that).  Karsh's "recognized area of expertise" is neither the inner thoughts of Cole nor the notability of controversies regarding Cole.  On the former he is clueless (and that's basically what his quote deals with); on the latter he is a party to the conflict invested in portraying it a certain way.
