Talk:Arun Manilal Gandhi

message: "He never though mentioned once that the Jews who were expelled from the Arab countries in the middle of the 20th century should march back to the places they were evicted from penniless and homeless. But then again, the fact that Jews were expelled does not carry the same panache as Arabs being displaced. I wonder if it has something to do with oil"
This statement is unsubstantiated. 
The idea that Arab terrorism is the cause of Jews leaving Arab countries has been questioned by many historians, including Jewish ones (see: Ben Gurion's Scandal: How the Haganah and the Mossad Eliminated Jews. by Naeim Giladi). In any event, the above quote tries to paint an opinion held by some historians as a fact, which is unacceptable in an encyclopedic article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.61.54.93 (talk) 09:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion

message: A section titled "Controversy" should not be used for quoting the full text of an article considered controversial without discussing the controversy itself. The  opening sentence gives readers a fairly concise summary of the controversial claims made by the author, and should be preceded by a concise summary of opposing views.
For comparison, we do not provide the full text of David Duke articles under the corresponding entry in the Wikipedia.Kvihill (talk) 18:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually didn't quite get your point til re-read this now because the description was not very accurate so I replaced it with with short quotes that made it more accurate. Also, you did not have the link to the actual article, which I placed there, or a clear statement that there was an apology and a link to that.  I can see now that a summary intro is necessary, but a quote from Gandhi -- esp. from his apology - should be there.  Also, there are people who defend what he said and tomorrow I'll quote one or two of them. Just to be fair and balanced. Carol Moore 07:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy

message: I remember putting up the whole quotation behind the controversy: to let readers decide the issue for themselves before they read any commentary. I wonder why someone took that down and replaced it with a long paragraph headed with the phrase "the Israel Lobby?" This seems all the more POV when the section keeps other criticisms short.
The quotation that sparked the controversy was short: it should be put up in full. 141.166.241.20 (talk) 14:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, I have now put it back up in full. 141.166.154.44 (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotation Removed and Replaced 

message: Since I can see this already has become a heated topic, please see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Palestine-Israel_articles which encourages civil cooperative editing and much more quickly and effectively deals with dispute resolution on problems that arise in editing articles related to these topics.

thread_title: Please Note New Arbitration Resolution on Israel/Palestine and Related issues

thread_title: Please seek 3rd 0pinion on HAF

message: I think it's unusual that the controversy section is the biggest section of this article. I think the controversy section should be reduced to about three sentences and then placed at the end of the section dealing with his leadership in the MK Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. 13:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct. Anyone criticizing Israel ends up with a big section like this. Hearing no dissent, I'll cut it down, leaving the best refs but with much shorter description. CarolMooreDC (talk) 03:47, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Stopped watching article and just noticed it's cut down too much, without even references.  Will beef up a bit more soon. CarolMooreDC 16:50, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
