Someone on-line claimed that only "paranoid idiots" think neo-Nazis use 88 for Heil Hitler, so I checked Nazi_symbolism and found there that: "However, According to the ADL and other semitic organizations it is code for Heil Hitler."

Really? "semitic organizations"? Who have you got editing, David Duke?

(1) Semitic is (generally) a language group. It is capitalized. It is not a synonym for Jewish.

(2) Moreover, the ADL is not correctly characterized as a Jewish group. It is a Jewish anti-defamation group. Its name is the Anti-Defamation League. That is relevant, since this is a question of its expertise.

(3) As it turns out, I ought instead (or also) to have checked 88 (number), which footnotes the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Finnish Broadcasting Company, which are not to my knowledge Jewish.

I shall correct this. But I suggest that an editor consider the oeuvre of the contributor who wrote those words.
