Dear Wikimedia Community,

I am reaching out to request a review of repeated censorship and unjustified deletions of the Jewish Bund article on the Estonian Wikipedia. Despite following the platform's content guidelines and providing reliable sources, my article has been consistently deleted by local moderators, and I have been banned from editing.

Background: I created the article about the Jewish Bund, a historically significant political organization, which has been extensively documented in reliable sources, both in Estonian and in other languages. The article meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, yet it has been deleted multiple times, with reasons ranging from content not meeting inclusion criteria to claims of neutrality issues. However, I believe these reasons are unfounded, and I suspect that political motives are influencing the deletion process, especially considering the sensitive nature of the topic.

Issues:

Repeated Deletions: The article has been deleted several times, even though it was properly sourced from credible references. Banning of My User: In addition to the article deletions, I have faced bans from editing without clear justification. These bans appear to be a result of my work on the article. Unjustified Warnings: Automated warnings have been issued suggesting my edits are potentially unconstructive, even though I am following guidelines and aiming to contribute constructively. Evidence:

Links to the deletion discussions and the reasons cited by administrators. Examples of the reliable sources used to back the article, which are consistent with Wikipedia’s inclusion policies. Comparisons to similar articles on other language Wikipedias where the content is accepted and maintained. I respectfully request an unbiased review of this situation by the Meta-Wiki community to determine if political motives are influencing the moderation of my contributions. If possible, I would also appreciate guidance on how to proceed in order to ensure fair treatment and proper content inclusion on the Estonian Wikipedia.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a fair resolution.

Sincerely,

Bad RfC: AI-generated, OP didn't follow the proper dispute resolution process on etwiki, the article mentioned was deleted four times due to heavy bias. --Leonidlednev (talk) 22:51, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
