While (ironically) doing a search for an article using the News area of Google (http://news.google.com), I came across one of the recent articles about the Google petition to remove Jew Watch from its database.
An example of one such article is this one from Cleveland Jewish News : http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/articles/2004/04/01/news/local/online0402.txt Getting back to the subject of the Wikipedia (that I discussed in a previous message), an anonymous Wikipedian added the following under "recent examples" in the entry for Googlebomb : Jew - Wikipedia entry for the word Jew, in an effort to displace the #1 spot held by JewWatch, an anti-Semitic group. ====== I intend to add a section to the entry for "Google" on criticism of Google, including a mention of the "Jew Watch" problem.
