Can you imagine how often someone affiliated with them must be rewriting Wikipedia pages? I'm sure it's head spinning.

...if I'm reading this right, this isn't "ADL can't edit articles" but "articles can't cite the ADL as a source of facts." which is even huger

should add, articles can't cite the ADL as a source of facts *about Israel/Palestine*. there is still discussion of them as a source about antisemitism in general, and their hate symbols database. agree with Mira Sucharov in the article's kicker

I like how the ADL blames a "campaign to delegitimize the ADL" ... they've certainly done a great job of deligitimizing themselves, no campaign needed!

By campaign they mean "accurate reporting"

Maybe both could become true? A developer made a bot that tweeted every time someone in Congress (in their official offices) re-wrote Wikipedia pages thereby catching some nasty bits of self-serving writing. :)

maybe! it looks like the discussion that eventually led to this was set off by "the ADL repeatedly being brought up as [reliable] source," which could be organic but also could be the work of staffers en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...
