That section is a bit biased in my opinion. We should cite the other part as well (e.g. Kövér's letter to Wiesel). Wikipedia is not a political forum, it's an encyclopedia. Fakirbakir (talk) 16:14, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Kover's side is cited elsewhere in that paragraph, it's not one sided. I looked for Kover's letter and could only find reference that he would respond, but couldn't find anything else reported on it. Green Cardamom (talk) 15:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Also, we don't want to get into a political debate with back and forth tit for tat. Normally one side acts, the other side responds, and that's enough. If we go back and forth it turns the article into a political battleground and borders on propaganda for one side or the other. Unless something notable happens to change the situation.

I have translated some statements from Kövér's letter (because the original letter is in Hungarian, Wiesel speaks in Hungarian). Fakirbakir (talk) 17:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's a primary source document. Are there any secondary sources that discuss the letter? I suspect few in the press is giving Kövér's letter much notice or attention. Should we seek out and translate the primary source document on our own? I'd be more comfortable mentioning that Kövér wrote a letter, link to it, but not do an original interpretation/translation of what he said. That should be done through secondary sources.

Unfortunately I have not found the full answer letter in newspapers yet and my translation what I inserted into the article is from a Hungarian newspaper (Népszabadság). It is a reliable secondary source, however it is Hungarian. We should find a proper English source or translation about the letter.Fakirbakir (talk) 19:24, 28 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
