[edit] William Luther Pierce

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to William Luther Pierce. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

There is nothing romantic about racism. I understand the strong desire to call a spade a spade in articles such as William Luther Pierce, I feel it as well. But one of the foundational guidelines of Wikipedia is NPOV (or "Neutral Point of View", which I urge you to take a few moments to read through), which applies equally to all subjects, no matter how odious they may be. And calling someone's personal ideology "racist propaganda" is to clearly make a value judgment about that ideology, even though, yeah, that's pretty much what it is. Similarly, in the article about Al-Qaeda, one might not write that they are a source of "anti-semitic propaganda", even though, again, one might feel very strongly that that's what they are. Best of luck with your future edits. Ford MF 16:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
