Evidence of the secret Palestinian group

Evidence of the secret Palestinian group

The penalties imposed on members of the CAMERA group were harsh in part because it was argued that this was a new threat to Wikipedia and an example needed to be made. The feeling was that recruiting people from within grass roots advocacy organisations, enlisting experienced editors to help, and having the discussions outside of wikipedia could all contribute in a way that went against the nature of wikipedia. This was naive. Our research shows past attenpts, by Palestinian advocates, some of whom commented and pushed for sanctions in the CAMERA case, that meet all of these criteria. The admins considering the case found some of this information too, their attempts to investigate did the equivalent of starting the shredding machines.

The Al-Awda (Right to return coalition) had 1622 members in Dec 2005 and there is no reason to think it had less in January 2006. This is a large audience that "Wikipedians for Palestine" was advertised to.
