Talk:Simcha Rothman

"Fascist" comes up in the search box - NPOV violation?
When I enter "Simcha Rothman" in the Wikipedia searchbox, the "splash" text that comes up is "Israeli fascist, lawyer and politician". While I personally agree with this description, I do not believe that it adheres to Wikipedia's neutrality standards.

The article text itself appears to be OK.

UPDATE: Someone is actively editing the page - now "fascist" is part of the article text as well. I'm going to reverse that change, but I think we need someone to step in and lock the page so we don't get into an editing war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Don Radlauer (talk • contribs) 08:20, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Time-travelers
The current text, Rothman was born into a family that had immigrated to Israel from Cleveland in the United States in the early 20th century has the problem that there was no such nation in the early 20th century (Israel, I mean. The United States does predate that, unless I've been being lied to.) While there is an argument to be made for saying the Land of Israel, it's probably better NPOV-wise to say Palestine. I'm avoiding doing direct article edits at this time, but I encourage others to review the concern and edit appropriately. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Done, though it's still annoyingly unclear - could have been Ottoman or Mandatory Palestine, but the source is too vague to say which one. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:51, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, all the source really gives us is "not Cleveland". -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
