 * Example of a page that is already in this group? Gryllida (talk) 10:59, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Gryllida, Thank you for your answer. I am very new here so I am hopefully doing this right. Here is an example of a page that would be in the same category. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odinist_Fellowship


 * And which page you want to add in this category? &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 12:43, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Firstly, this is not a copyright violation. _please see below) I think whoever made the latest edit, which contains libel, should be warned, not me. The original entry libeled the organization in question, even after being told that it was libel, and they did that twice. The original entry made was an obviously biased entry, which mentions nothing but negative personal opinions from only one side, leaving out substantial information, which speaks to notability, and actually gives relevant information about the site and org, entirely. The original entry maker states that Odinia International is a Nazi or National Socialist organization, but it is a religious organization with no political affiliation. Calling it a Nazi website therefore is libel. I removed the libel. The person who just removed my extremely scholarly unbiased post put the libel back in. Any material that I presented that was not written by me was used with permission and was encyclopedic in nature already and can be seen on the metapedia entry for Odinia International, which is an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia, and on the main side odinia.org as well. I invite you to contact the page owner and verify that I have permission if you like. I state categorically that I have permission. (Wotanswarriors (talk) 08:57, 22 September 2018 (UTC)).

 * Metapedia "is an electronic encyclopedia which contains authoritarian far-right, white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust denial, and neo-Nazi points of view." according to sources - it's nothing like Wikipedia which is a real encyclopedia. In any case, we can't take anyone's word for it that they have permission. We wouldn't use material copied from Odinia.org, not just because it says "Anything in favor of facts, European rather than Semitic religion, and free speech, or against White genocide, is “hate” according to Jewish supremacist controlled ZOG-Goggle." but because unlike Metapedia, Wikipedia articles are meant to be mainly based on what reliably published mainstream sources say about an organisation.

Dear talk Thank you for your message. You are, in a sense, quoting your own source, since that is Wikipedia's statement about Metapedia. Metapedia may be considered far right, but most certainly Wikipedia is generally considered to be far left. I do not know about you, but I am not so squeamish that I do not mind finding useful facts in sources I do not agree with otherwise. I am merely interested in doing accurate research.

This being an online encyclopedia I tried to present an unbiased view in the middle with actual informative substantive facts in it, and also not to libel any organization as you are either doing or condoning by presenting this organization, Odinia International, as a Neo Nazi organization or agreeing that it be presented as such, when it has been stated very clearly, publicly, that it is a religious organization with no political affiliation. National socialism is a political movement. Odinia International is, I am told reliably, not affiliated with any National Socialist group, or any political group at all, therefore it is not a Neo Nazi group. I would have to double check but I believe that was mentioned in this broadcast. https://soundcloud.com/lonewolfradio/episode-4-seana-fenner

If you are basing whether or not you would use or report information upon any significant organization, and this is a significant organization, on your personal dislike of a religious belief, political leaning, or historical view, you are not being unbiased. Wikipedia bills itself as being an encyclopedia, which implies that it actually is unbiased. In order to be so, it would be necessary to "give the devil his due" whether you approve of or like an organization and its views or not.

For example, you, or I, may not agree with the opinion expressed in the statement you quoted, but the fact is that there is massive censorship on Google in the EU and this is a fact that should be reported accurately in an unbiased fashion. If a person or political group whose views you do not agree with does significant work on a subject, and there has been significant scholarly work done on Odinism by this organization, than that needs to be honestly acknowledged in an unbiased encyclopedia as well. Otherwise, Wikipedia is merely doing a shallow smear piece on the topic, and obviously so. That is my honest, well considered, and I believe accurate view.

Stating that a far left publication such as Vice is reliable, while a far right publication is not, does not really lend actual academic credence because to do so would smack of bias. The only truly valid scholarly test is if the facts themselves have been researched and verified, and in this case they were in the entry I made. I would be happy to make it entirely my wording if you like, but I would hope that Wikipedia would not support either such extreme bias or libel in its entries as that which has replaced my far more balanced entry for now because this would give the impression that Wikipedia is not a true encyclopedia, and in the case of the very clear libel, it is actually illegal. Yours sincerely and with kind regards, Wotanswarriors
