Talk:Farouk Hosny

the quote given in the source "burn israeli books" has been transformed into "burn all Hebrew language books" which is obviously quite different. I put it back.Johncmullen1960 (talk) 05:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

The terms are quite different, but which is correct? The cited Times article says that he spoke of burning all Hebrew language books. Can anyone point to a more authoritative source? Bassomatic (talk) 15:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

elaph.com is a tabloid news website

why is it treated like a reliable source? page rolled back until further evidence is presented.

ShamWow has been systematically editing and reverting the article (including referenced information) to convey a certain point of view.

Everything I've added is sourced information from reliable sources. I eliminated career section because it was just a list of information that wasn't corroborated by anything else except his official website bio. It needs to be corroborated by other sources. The purpose of the article isn't to list every single minute award and position. It needs to be committed to prose.ShamWow (talk) 07:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

And how do you dispute the neutrality of this article?ShamWow (talk) 07:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

it wasn't just what you added, it was what you deducted as well, the biographical list of positions and awards was only one of the things that you tried to get rid of as "unnecessary" (despite the existence of a similar list on, his former UNESCO rival, Irina Bokova's page), by comparing editing history, it's obvious that you have often removed information and quotes that were meant to present an even-handed/more detailed view, often replacing them with biased information from sources like "the Anti-Defamation League", and unreliable news websites. I'm disputing the neutrality of the editing process, I don't want this to turn into an editing war, so it's best if we solved it in the talk page. --217.54.184.83 (talk) 14:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
