Talk:Irwin Cotler

message: I am new to editting so if I didn't follow procedure, feel free to correct me. I removed the innaccurate mentions of Irwins anti-drug attempts. They were false and biased. Relating to the person seeking refugee for drug charges, it has to go through an court process before it goes to the Minister of Justice. That persons appeal is still in court so Irwin has had no opportunity to even judge the appeal. Relating to the first drug-related link, it was misleading. Cotler actually has pursued the decriminalization of certain drugs and included 2 links to prove it.
Is it appropriate to dedicate over half the entry on Cotler to a single article ("Identifying the new anti-semitism") that he wrote? It's hardly the only or main focus of his career, and he's much better known as the justice minister and for human rights work. If nobody objects, I'll just turn that into a short blurb and link to the article: http://www.aish.com/jewishissues/jewishsociety/Identifying_the_New_Anti-Semitism.asp . To focus on the "New antisemitism" article itself, start a new entry.

replies: text: You can add other things to focus on them if you want to. Unless he rejected his opinion expressed in the article "New anti-semitism", I think to keep that part.  --Vasile 16:44, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I am removing the entire section about the "controversy" about the Nelson Mandela claim.  The site that is its basis, ukar.org, has vile anti-semitic content.  Totally, totally inappropriate to Wikipedia. -Joshuapaquin 03:21, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: I tried to include this article in the section discussing Cotler's claims to have worked with Mandela and it was removed. I think inclusion of this article and its contents is fully warranted--at least as much so as those news articles which have reported Cotler's assisting Mandela.Mdeherrera (talk) 20:44, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
