This asserts that Wikipedia editor Soosim (T-C-L), a long time editor on team "settlers are teh awesome, there is no such thing as Palestinians!" is in fact Gerald Steinberg, (T-H-L) (or one of his employees), who runs the "take a right at Likud and keep going" NGO Monitor (T-H-L).
Interestingly enough the account making the complaint, רסטיניאק (T-C-L), was shortly before accused by "Soosim" of being lefty Israeli anti-settlement activist Amiram Goldblum (T-H-L) (article of course created by Soosim and initially containing a section called the "Apartheid poll controversy" that said Goldblum had sponsored a poll on Israeli support for apartheid and that "Gerald Steinberg, from NGO Monitor, reviewed the poll’s results and found “manipulative methodology”, “false claims”, and “shallow questions” were used to deceive the participants and subsequently affected their responses." The רסטיניאק appears to have been created solely to fight with Soosim over the Goldblum article.)
The truth? Go know. I'm inclined to believe both of them.
I make this post in service of pointing out that Qworty was far from an isolated case. A large percentage of edits to Wikipedia are made by activists, a large number of edit wars involve people who hate each other and are on Wikipedia to defeat the enemy. Charge!
Adding: It appears Goldblum made the large mistake of admitting his identity early on at Wikipedia. He was very distressed at the creation of the article about him (an earlier version deemed an attack page was deleted; the account that made this edit was later abandoned, but linked somehow to the Hebrew name account):
i AM NOT SURE THAT i ANSWER PROPERLY, BUT CLEARLY NEED YOUR PROTECTION. i DO NO REGARDS MYSELF AS ONE OF THE CHEMISTS WHO ARE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE ON WIKIPEDIA - MAYBE i WILL CHANGE MY MIND, BUT THAT ONLY IF I MANAGE TO DISCOVER A MAJOR IMPORTANT ANTI CNACER DRUG, WHICH IS MY MAIN ACTIVITY i AM INDEED INVOLVED IN POLITICAL ACTIVITY AND THIS ARTICLE ABOUT ME WAS CLEARLY INTRODUCED FOR POLITICAL SMEARING OF ME. i CNA ALSO ADD THAT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE ITEMS UNDER THE "CONTROVERSY" TITLE IN MY "BIOGRAPHY" IS CORRECT, AND THE ONLY PARTIALLY CORRECT ONE MENTIONS FINANCIAL QUESTIONING OF MY SUPPORT TO PM BARAK IN 1990, BUT I WAS NEVER CHARGED IN COURT FOR THAT, SO THAT IS A LIE AS WELL. aLL THE "SOURCES" CITED IN MY BIOGRAPHY, EXCEPT FOR THE NEUTRAL ONES ABOUT MY UNIVERSITY POSITION, ARE "SELF CREATED".
YOU MAY SAFELY DELETE MY NAME FROM WIKIPEDIA, AS THERE IS NO REASON YET TO INCLUDE ME THERE
