User:Tamarah~enwiki

My name is Tamar Hayardeni, and I'm a professional tour guide.

I'm also a journalist, and I wrote some nice books for children (:

I live in Jerusalem (Israel), and mainly contribute to the Hebrew Wikipedia

(Here is my user page there).

I want to share a feeling that many of my colleagues in the Hebrew Wikipedia share -

It has become very unpleasant to contribute to the English Wikipedia, especially in

articles that are connected to the history of the Land of Israel, and/or the history of the

State of Israel. Miraculously, any contribution that is somehow incompatible with

the Palestinian narrative, is removed very shortly after being made. Many of us,

who are very motivated and talented writers, avoid writing here at all, because of this.

History has many faces, and every story can be told in a hundred ways.

"Facts" can be interpreted, and "reality" can truly look completely the opposite,

depending on who you are, and where you come from.

Therefore, I wonder why you let only one "story" be told here

and why you're willing to accept one side's "facts", and not the other's.

How exactly does it make the English Wikipedia a neutral encyclopedia, as it should be?
