National Post ownership
According to Wikipedia:Five pillars "Wikipedia uses the neutral point-of-view, which means we strive for articles that advocate no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view; presenting each point of view accurately; providing context for any given point of view, so that readers understand whose view the point represents; and presenting no one point of view as "the truth" or "the best view." It means citing verifiable, authoritative sources whenever possible, especially on controversial topics."

There are two different opinions on the root cause of the infamous article in the National Post newspaper about "2006 Iranian sumptuary law controversy". Only an official National Post explanation is presented currently on Wikipedia.

Wouldn't it be beneficial for wikipedia readers to know that "Asper was above anything else an unabashed Zionist and a proud Jew" (according to CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_zolf/20031007.html)? This information might help to better understand the probable origin of this error. Is such reference to a government owned Canadian media corporation acceptable at Wikipedia?

 * It would be appropriate to do so in a more reasonable context, for instance if you stated "The owners have stated on multiple occasions that their Jewish background plays a significant part in their choice of editorial positions." or something like that. Just inserting the adjective that they are Jewish, however, seems to be both racist and a personal attack.  See WP:ATTACK, specifically "Using someone's affiliations as a means of dismissing or discrediting their views — regardless of whether said affiliations are mainstream or extreme."
 * I'm not trying to censor your opinion or prevent you from expressing your view. I'm just trying to get it expressed in a more thoughtful and understanding manner.
 * Let me know if you have any questions or problems with what I'm saying. I have mirrored these comments on both my and your talk page, but it would be best if you replied on my talk page.  Regards, -- Alphachimp   talk  03:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
