Talk:Bernadotte plan

message: It returns 456 Google hits. What famous people say and other quotes becomes famous. Stop reverting and stop wasting my time. Palestine-info 20:19, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: 456 Google hits is not an indicator of "fame".  The term "famous" is almost always inherently POV.  If you want to quote someone who says the quote itself is famous, that's fine.  Otherwise, stop inserting POV and wasting my time. Jayjg  | (Talk) 20:23, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: To begin with, I get only 180 Google hits, almost all of them Palestinian advocacy sites.  That tells me that if it is "famous", it is in a very select and limited circle.  Second, POV is POV, and should not be inserted by you anywhere, even here.  Third, please respect the Wikipedia:Civility policy. Jayjg  | (Talk) 21:08, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: I searched for +"offence against the principles of elemental justice" and only got 180 hits; you are getting a lot of hits for things that are not this exact quote.  Moreover, if you look through your list, you find only 42 are unique hits. Looking for the exact quote produces only 40 unique hits.  40 Palestinian advocacy sites is not particularly "famous".  Moreover, your claim is circular; you claim he was "famous", then claim a small number of related groups quoting a "famous" person makes the quote famous. I doubt 1 in 100,000 people in the world have heard of Bernadotte.  Hitler was famous.  Mao was famous.  Saddam Hussein was famous.  Even Arafat was famous.  Bernadotte is not. "Famous" is POV, and this definitely doesn't meet that bar for even that POV claim. Jayjg  | (Talk) 18:58, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: Even using your search, as I have pointed out already, it still only resolves to 42 unique hits (vs. 40 with my search). The problem remains; it is a little known quote by a forgotten individual, found on a small set of websites covering one specific topic. Jayjg  | (Talk) 23:22, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: So you agree it is not famous now, and now you allege it was "more famous" decades ago?  That's pretty weak for an inherently POV phrase. Jayjg (talk) 17:24, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Because the quote has a reason to be in this article. That reason is that it is "famous." Not in the same way that Britney Spears is famous, more in the way that if someone knows one thing that Bernadotte has said, it is this quote that they know. Or if someone knows something about the Palestine war (which by comparision to WWII is unknown), they will have heard this quote. Right now the impression given is "Well duh! The report is probably 100 pages long, why did someone pick this sentence out?" Palestine-info 00:00, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh, it's pretty clear why the author of the article picked this one quote out of the 100 page report; advocacy.  However, you have presented a perfect example of circular reasoning; you justify its inclusion in the article because it is "famous", and justify calling it "famous" because it is included in the article.
