WP:1RR

There is a rule on[REDACTED] to prevent edit wars. It is called 1RR and means that people are limited to 1 revert per 24 h on any article. You didn't comply with that rule on the article about al-Husseini.

As pointed out by me and Nishidani, the fact he collaborated with the Nazis is already in the lead with even more details. There is no good reason to add this once more on the first line given this point is not important in the life of the Mufti.

On the contrary is a key point of the propaganda war launched by the Yishuv and after the Israeli authorities against the Palestinian nationalism before and after 1948 and therefore this emphase does not comply with NPoV.

@Pluto2012 , @Nishidani :The most historically significant aspects of a biography should be presented in the lead sentence. The current lead sentence is: "Haj Mohammed Effendi Amin el-Husseini .... was a Palestinian Arab nationalist and Muslim leader in Mandatory Palestine." This does not capture the two most important facts of this Grand Mufti's biography, ie he was 1) 'prominent in the 1948 Palestine War' and 2) 'vilified for his association with the Axis powers.' These points are made a couple of paragraphs after this lead sentence. The German connections are mentioned surrounded by a host of other less-significant biographical facts surround these more-significant facts, with oblique phrasing that does adequately indicate the fierce vilification of Haj Amin Husseini by pro-Zionists. The above two phrases (14 words total) would improve the article by communicating these two significant aspects of this man's biography to the readers.
