Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust

There's probably an interesting, cautious discussion to be had about this analysis (whatever it is) but a large, open internet forum is probably incapable of having it. Still, I've replaced the title with something less baity (in keeping with the HN guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait").

If you comment in this thread, please make sure you're up on https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and especially this one:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Flames and ideological battle are not welcome—nay, not even on this topic.

If there's a better i.e. more accurate and neutral title, I'd be happy to use it as long as isn't baity, but making accusations about intentional distortion is too baity (that's why I took that out).

Edit: this is a tangent, but it's also a weak claim since if you say something about someone's intent, they can just say "no it wasn't" and act like they refuted you. I finally learned not to do that about HN comments after experiencing this many times.

Edit 2: I changed the edited title from "Wikipedia editors and the history of the holocaust" to something that's closer to the actual title and better represents it.

Oh, I was just ruminating on the original title of the article rather than commenting on your selection. Sorry for the confusion.
