there, and in the NPOV issues page. A JustinOlypen has been using the Kilmer page as a podium for his anti-Israel activism in violation of
Knowledge (XXG)'s NPOV standards and has responded to any attempt to reign the text back into acceptable, neutral language by replacing it with his original diatribe. Recently an NPOV banner showed up on the article, which was encouraging; but no action was taken, so I waved a red flag in hope of getting some action. My solution to his (and there may be a second user with a similar bias, or he is using another computer) is the text below. If that is not acceptable, replace it with something that is approved but act on this problem. Again, go to the Eric Kilmer talk page and get involved, or get someone with editorial authority to step in. As for being blocked, I will probably live another week happily enough. If Knowledge (XXG) will address the NPOV issue I will be satisfied; now that I have your attention I will stop vandalizing the article, but I will not accept the inappropriate political activism you have been allowing on Eric Kilmer's article and will respond by replacing it with the neutral language below (the "complicated" line was JustinOlypen's contribution, which I retained): Through his cosponsorship of the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013 ?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-0000001B-QINU?1?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-0000001C-QINU?, Rep. Kilmer supports I increased US taxpayer funding of Israel's military, and to provide assistance for cooperation in the fields of energy, water, homeland security, agriculture, and alternative fuel technologies. Kilmer has visited Israel with special-interest lobby groups working to increase funding for Israel. He describes situation as "complicated."?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-0000001E-QINU?2?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-0000001F-QINU? On January 13, 2014 Representative Kilmer was to address the AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) Technology Division invitation-only luncheon; this meeting was deleted from the AIPAC calendar.?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-00000021-QINU?3?UNIQ6af2d4b6eb810a83-nowiki-00000022-QINU?
16:"Matt S." Has deleted my fully researched, cited, accurate and pertinent section titled "controversy on the grounds that it argues against the existence of the article itself. It does not; it questions the validity of assertions within that article, and does so justifiably. I am the only contributor to this article who has researched and cited their contributions in accordance with documented history and Andeanist scholarship. A lot of work went into researching and citing this; it should not be removed prejudicially. If "Matt S." favors the original assertions, he should provide them support and citations.

I try to fix it. My first revise was the word "Inca" to the word "Olmec," in context of wheeled toys. The Olmecs made them, the Incas did not. No controversy there among academic authorities. If I live another couple years, and
Knowledge (XXG) does as well, and learn the rules of this system, I may found an article. As for the Kilmer imbroglio, that's an anomaly - Representative Kilmer seems like a nice guy, well educated, well intentioned, and whose politics are kind. He didn't deserve that sort of eczema on his article.
