Hello,

This article has just come to the unofficial attention of the Editorial Council, of which I am the Secretary. In the near future, once we have studied it more carefully, it will almost certainly be either moved from Main Space to an area where it will not be easily found by the general public, or it will be deleted entirely. First of all, it appears to be an article imported directly and entirely from Metapedia -- and Citizendium does not allow articles from other sources to imported. Second, it appears to be making an argument about "Whites" in Argentina. I see that the same article, or similar articles, were either banned from Wikipedia or entirely rewritten, because of the apparent "racism" of the article. Citizendium is no different from Wikipedia in our attitude towards racism -- we simply do not permit it, nor anything that might appear to be racist in either intent or appearance. Citizendium welcomes articles about just about any topic in the world, but they MUST be original articles, written for Citizendium, and not copies of articles that have appeared anywhere else, and they must ALWAYS be written in a manner that cannot conceivably be called racist or that is pushing an agenda of any of its authors.
