User:Haberstr

From California, I have lived in Japan much of my adult life, and in Chicago from 2005 to 2011. Early on I was interested in writing and revising Wikipedia biographies involving Keynesian economics (for example, Alvin Hansen), popular media and politics, and my favorite American genius Stephen Crane. In my middle Wikipedia years I worked to NPOV the surprisingly touchy history of terrorism article, and to make coherent and NPOV Middle East conflict and Islamophobia-related entries such as Hamas, Adnan Farhan Abd Al Latif, Charles Jacobs, Americans for Peace and Tolerance, Asra Nomani, and Yasir Qadhi.

I viewed Wikipedia up until a couple years ago as a bastion at times of a popular democratic spirit. And, I enjoyed being civil, responsive, generous and balanced during the revision process -- providing the two or three major sides to an issue or controversy, despite being on one side or another. More recently, as I've become interested in reducing bias in entries related to 'Cold War II' especially as it relates to Ukraine, I have witnessed the death of the corporate libertarian Wikipedia model, at least in this subsection of the encyclopedia. Web warriors on the Ukraine nationalist side have taken over and make sure readers receive only the Ukraine nationalist perspective on Ukraine's recent history. I prefer a traditional, multiple mainstream perspectives approach, and so I and those like me have been harassed and 'brought up on charges' and so on. I've even had the honor of being harassed by Ukraine's notorious neo-Nazi Azov Battalion: diff, diff "remember user, azov is to be watching you", diff. Wikipedia does nothing about all of this, demobilized by the byzantine bureaucracy and the inherent libertarian helplessness here.

Azov is watching me!

For making modest steps towards turning the article on Nizar Rayan into something readable and WP:NPOV. You seem to have a knack with biographies. Keep up the good work! Tiamuttalk 22:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
