Should the "Mohamed El Nashi" section be removed?

After translating his website with an extension, it appears as if he never mentions RationalWiki anywhere; In fact, he may be actually mad at Wikipedia, not at us! Here is the translation, by the way:

Many officials in the Israeli media are stunned by the revolution of public opinion, especially among young people in Europe and America against Israel. What happened? The world believed them for at least half a century, and the history written by Israel was true, and the documented facts on the side of the Arabs lied. What happened? Relatively brief period in public opinion?.

I think that the coup came through the revolution that took place in the means of communication and the ease of obtaining information from the Internet, including historical information, whether it was contemporary history or ancient history, not to mention the scientific facts in all branches of knowledge. From here, a war against falsification of history, especially the history of Zionist colonialism, began. in the region.

In several conferences, the most recent of which was the recent Arab Thought Conference in Kuwait City, I strongly noted the seriousness of the information that is marketed through an electronic dictionary that has become famous under the name Wikipedia, which the intellectual, the scholar and the Arab reader should know that the information in the Wikipedia dictionary is not documented and any intruder from abroad can change the information. And manipulate it to the point of outrageous fraud without any real sergeant. After that, try to complain, and you will enter endless corridors and basements for fairness. There is a lot of good and correct information found in Wikipedia, but with regard to the history of Palestine or Islam or many Arab scholars, and that is the national leaders of the liberation movements in the Arab and Islamic world, especially modern history, there are serious inaccuracies, but there are campaigns I am frantic for forgery by professionals for cybercrime and their agents in the Arab world and Egypt in particular. I want to add my humble voice to the necessity of striking with an iron fist against Internet crimes, falsifying history, using various websites for slander, public insults, and disruption of order and security in this country.

I also warn university students and young researchers against relying on Wikipedia as a source of information, and there is something worse than it. Sometimes, for a small payment, as well as to market the goods through advertisements on the same page where you give the suspicious information.

Cathy Brennan

Would it be possible to remove this section? It currently links to two of Brennan's personal blog posts in which she attempted to doxx me (and didn't quite succeed, but still, feels pretty weird). This happened a decade ago, I'm sure it's not that relevant anymore. Blue (is useful) 03:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Should we be featuring stupid shit like this?

It lends these clowns an air of unwarranted legitimacy IMO. Dunno if we should be giving them the air. Carthage (talk) 16:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Same here, and also, the very existence of a page like this makes us look petty and vindictive. Lizardcreator (talk) 20:49, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Anatoly Karlin update

We should probably be updating Anatoly Karlin's section here to reflect his recent… bizarre attempts to disassociate himself from the alt-right. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure how to write it in a way that wouldn't be a complete farce. --Luigifan18 (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

That one guy we can't talk about for legal reasons

How should we handle him here? --Luigifan18 (talk) 21:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

We shouldn't? What's hard to understand about "we can't talk about this guy"? Carthage (talk) 21:56, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Not even in a way that doesn't refer to him specifically, such as "people using SLAPP suits to bully us"? --Luigifan18 (talk) 22:17, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I strongly advise against this in any form. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 23:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Odd "criticism"

Other than the usual, I've seen a few say there are people who confuse RationalWiki for Wikipedia. Is it too much to ask that people read the URL of the website they're on or maybe notice the different name plastered everywhere? Just amusing to interpret a visitor's inability to read, as a supposed fault of the website. Chillpilled (talk) 21:13, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
