==Incorrect Early Childhood and Marriage Sections==
I deleted the early childhood and marriage because Latuff himself stated that neither of them contain even remotely correct information about his own life. See his journal entry at http://latuff2.deviantart.com/journal/12537737/ . Besides Misplaced Pages policies state that "controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately."

==from Vfd==
On 17 Feb 2005, this article was nominated for deletion. The result was keep. See ] for a record of the discussion.


== AKdH/NPOV==
I feel the quote "According AKdH,"the cartoon stands for the extermination of the Jewish people and the state of Israel" is not a NPOV so I removed it. That is simply one groups interpretation of a cartoon.] 20:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


You're right. Although it is a shockingly racist cartoon - unless its meant to be ironic!

== pov sentence deleted ==

Sentence deleted:
" Latuff's drawings are inspired by a deep jew-hatred. As every genocidal antisemite, he likes to compare the Jews to the Nazis."

== changed picture to more relative artwork ==

the picture in this is out of touch for the style and contents of latuff's work. so i updated it, (used with permission) ] 05:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

== Not just Israel ==

Shouldn't the article point out that he's not just anti-Israel, but also anti-America and anti-McDonalds?

== Likud threatening Latuff ==

I deleted the sentence on a site linked to the likud threatening latuff, because it gives a misleading impresion. The site doesn't really threaten him in the way which is implied.

: I rephrased it a bit so that people can draw their own conclusions. // ]
I removed it because it appears to be a minor spat on some personal websites and blogs, none of them reliable sources, and only mentioned here for the purpose of POV-pushing. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 16:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

== Stubbing ==

I have stubbed this article since beyond the first sentence it is entirely unencyclopedic and pov. The article was more akin to something one would find in a political pamplet rather than any kind of encyclopedia. I must say that I find it hard to believe that even a unabashed partisan could write such an article. I would re-write the article, but I must admit that I am only semi-familar with the this cartoonist but it is obvious that a stub is preferable to what was present before.- ] | ] 13:44, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

: I disagree, but why don't you tell us what is "unencyclopedic and pov". It looks to the point and is well sourced. // ]
::Well sourced? I was unable to find even ''one'' ] on the page; can you point me to any that were reliable? ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 03:37, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

::: Then you couldn't have bothered to look very hard, but why not use the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> instead of blanking almost the entire article? // ]
::::::Actually, I looked quite hard, and I didn't blank any of the article. I didn't even edit it. I will now, though. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 16:45, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

::::::: Is that a threat? // ]
:::::::::Huh? ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 16:57, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Because it isn't only about not being properly sourced, the entire article is unacceptably pov. Unless someone rewrites the article to better abide by the npov policy, it cannot stand.- ] | ] 07:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

In what way is it "unacceptably pov". If you feel that way you should put in POV banner and state your objection on the talk page, not just blank the article. // ]

:Your reasoning does not make very much sense. I'm sorry if you cannot honestly understand that there is anything pov in the article, but it would be clear to just about any person that this article needs a rewrite. If I only meekly stated my thougths on the talk page, nothing would happen and the article would stay in its sorry state. You obviously seem to want this so I suppose I can understand why you don't want someone to actually edit it, but that is not what[REDACTED] is about.- ] | ] 08:29, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

:: Please assume some good faith here and state what your problems are. Just blanking the article will not help your case. // ]

:::I don't believe that I have done anything that shows a lack of good faith, there is a difference between stubbing an article and blanking the article. It is relativley common for editors and administrators to stub an article as an interim measure to remove pov or otherwise inappropriate material until one can rewrite the article to better conform with policy. If you want the article to be full and complete you will rewrite to address my concerns rather that simply reverting me and ignoring everything that I have written.- ] | ] 11:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

:::: So far you haven't written anything substantial that I can ignore. Please state the nature of your problems with the article. // ]

:::::The tone of the article is completely pov, passages like "Latuff decided to support the Palestinian people, through his art, against the long-term Israeli occupation" do not even carry the pretense of neutrality, while the events which could be used to portray the alternant view of Latuff that one would expect to find in an encyclopedia article about someone or something as controversial as the wider subject, are all either one sentence descriptions as in- "In Israel a local branch of Indymedia websites was sued in 2003 for showing latuff's cartoon of Ariel Sharon kissing Adolf Hitler", or are sandwiched in between praise of Latuff that gives the impression that only crazy hate-filled right-wingers are opposed to his work. While the passage- "In September 2006, a website associated to Israeli right-wing party Likud", attempts to treate a mainstream political party that is actually rather moderate as if they were extremist reactionaries. The tone of the article is totally inappropriate, since I did not write the article I was hoping that those that did would be encouaged to rewrite it by stubbing it.- ] | ] 12:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Let's break it down to analyse it. "Latuff decided to support the Palestinian people" Yes, the sources support that. "through his art" Well, obviously. "against the long-term Israeli occupation" Since 1967, i.e. almost 40 years. That can be described as "long-term". anyway, I have rewritten it a bit. The passage on the Likud site states what happend. It says nothing about "extremist reactionaries", altough it does say "right-wing" while they may more be centre-right. I've fixed that too. // ]

:You are correct to say that it describes what happens, but it describes these events in a very pov and biased tone.- ] | ] 13:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

:: Since you are the only one to see it that way could you please explain what is POV and how you feel it should be changed. // ]

:::Actually I'm not the only one to feel that way, in fact in the last day or so that I have been here there have been two people who have expressed or implied agreement with me while only one person with you. I have given a few specific examples of what I am talking about, but the easiest way to npov this article would be to simply rewrite everything as matter-of-fact as possible and give equal footing to different viewpoints.- ] | ] 16:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

:::: Your examples have been fixed. Everything is written in a matter-of-fact style already. And what do you refer to when you write "give equal footing to different viewpoints"? Fine, dig up some anti-Latuff stuff and put it into the article. I have googled for a while, but haven't found anything yet. The article does include quotes from the Likud website and clearly represent a different viewpoint. // ]

:::::If thats your honest belief then I will do my own rewrite when I get the chance within the next couple of days.- ] | ] 19:27, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I've given it a try. I think the article also has a better flow now. Before it was just a bunch of facts stacked on each other. // ]
:I've removed some of the worst of it, and asked for reliable sources for the rest.

== NPOV ==

I believe that the links section should be rewritten, and then the POV issues could be considered solved. ] 18:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

== removed original research/POV adjective "racist" in intro ==

i removed the adjective "racist" from the first sentence, as this would constitute either ] or ], depending on whether you consider it to be a factual type of description or an opinion.

If someone wants to, s/he could summarise NPOV content of the article and put in the introductory sentences, e.g. "has been accused by XXX to be racist in charges that were dropped by the judge" etc. (i'm not making a real summary here, just showing the NPOV style).

i put in "controversial" - since i think it's reasonably NPOV to say that someone who has been the subject of a court case and who, it seems, Likud would like to assassinate, is controversial.

== Maariv? ==

the link claiming to be a source for him being printed in Maariv does not prove anything -- ] 20:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

== edits by James Force ==

The controversy is already sufficiently covered in the article. The unsourced edits add nothing new but ] problems. Sources for these assertions would be helpful, but may not fully address POV issues. --] 17:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

== NPA ==

I had to remove a couple of sections filled with personal attacks. May I suggest the participants get familiar with ]. Further actions will have to be taken. ←] <sup>]]</sup> 03:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

== BLP ==

As it says on the top of the page "This article must adhere to the policy on ''']'''. Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or ] '''must be removed immediately''', especially if potentially ].". Now some editors who should know better have repetedly inserted the unsourced comment that his cartoons are "] cartoons that demonize". I've added a comment about it at ] to get some input. // ]

:just to make things clear, what word would you use to describe those cartoons? (i'll look up some citation from the JDL and others for you sometime later this week) ] 13:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

::: (1) please explain to me what is exactly criticised in the cartoons on dispute... sharons' affection for hitler?? of maybe for loving to kill other people??

::::If you have a source which calls them "antilocution," we can say "The cartoons have been called "antilocution" by XYZ." We cannot call them "antilocution" in any definitive sense, because that's clearly an editorial comment on their content, which we can't make. ] 20:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

::::: Those questions are irrelevent. // ]

:::::: i think all your recent edits which relate to israel-palestinian matters are irrelivent POV pushing<sup></sup> and your use of the words "terrorist", "non-sense" and "critical" just further illustrate my point... honestly, do you have a desire to improve[REDACTED] material or delete anything that doen't work well with a possible/alleged<sup>,,,, - one of my favouritves: </sup> agenda? as a matter of fact, this article has seen an attack by Latuff himself and possibly a few of his frineds<sup></sup> (right after he was caught by an IP check) in an attempt to say that calling his "critical" cartoons by any other name is "unfair" . in any event you don't have that much to "worry" about "BLP", since there's plenty of material about this fellow and it will be refrenced, eventually, where it belongs despite the attack on the page. ] 13:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Quite frankly I don't care what you think. I find it rather telling that you define asking for sources as "irrelivent POV pushing". Can't you just get on and improve the article instead of going on a personal vendetta. // ]

: you're asking for sources and immediately delete (less than 24 hours after adding a {{fact}} tag) while dubbing the text as "non-senese" despite it's factuality. with regards to your style of editing on this article and israel related articles, i.e. disregarding opinions of other admins (who are not called "jaakobou") - i would definately think that this could very well be percieved as POV pushing... and yes, i will get material when i find some time... on a side note: i don't have a personal vendetta against you and i find it propostereous that you even imply such a thing. ] 14:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

:: Well you did some wikistalking. And as for removing unsourced, controversial material it is ''required'' per ]. // ]

Latuff has stated himself that he thinks this Misplaced Pages article is a joke and should not be taken seriously. This can be read on his journal, titled

Should this article be proposed for deletion? ] 19:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

:considering that latuff himself has reverted things he didn't like on this article (look it up on the history) and that he attended a holocaust denial propaganda display. i'm not sure latuff's own interpertations make his article on wiki less or more notable. his activity for the independant however, makes him a fairly notable character and therefore, I will not support an AfD proposal. ] 21:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

:::Misplaced Pages should not ''generally'' be linking to blogs as sources of information. The is "Links normally to be avoided Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." (Although blogs can be a first point of call, which might cite more authoritative sources or give info that can be verified elsewhere.) However, blogs noted by Lifarn seem to me, on the whole, to dall in the "recognized authority" category. None of them are simply personal blogs of individuals with axes to grind, but are fairly serious websites. The , which appears to be approved by Latuff, is a good source even though it is published on a blog.

In "the entire Tales of Iraq War series" Saddam Hussein, the tyrant who eventually had homosexuality a capital crime, is presented as a hero, directing Iraqi freedom fighters from heaven (I'm serious), and the "Iraqi resistance" is only killing the American occupiers (who in turn slaughter innocent Iraqis left and right, I guess all these mosque or marketplace truck bombs are driven by them too). It must be some sort of alternative-reality Iraq, like his fantasy versions of freedom-fighting Palestine and Nazi "Israhell". --] 14:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

From what the subject posts in social media, his Iran-China-Russia bias is obvious, and it should be pointed out in the article. ] (]) 21:44, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
I think it is well past time to ban Liftarn from further editing of this article for his incessent POV violations and continuing vandalism. He has continually re-edited the accurate descriptions of the Iranian conference in which Latuff eagerly participated as a pro-Hitler pro-Nazi affair - which it WAS! It is therefore of interest in assessing Latuff's motivation for his willing collaboration. Liftarn's own page demonstrates his hard-core "anti-zionism" (which in his case MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be related to a deeper Jew-hatred) so he is obviously not neutral on this topic, and clearly wants to slant this entry in this way that most favorably reflects his idol's point of view. That is hardly the appropriate way to compose a neutral encyclopedia entry. {{unsigned|149.68.166.9}}


:I agree completely and it's a shame that it's not mentioned in the article. Do you know of any reliable sources so we can put it in? ] (]) 21:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
It wasn't pro-Hitler, it was pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli. Invoking Hitler is soooo Latuff (and ]). --] 17:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Excessive external links

We now have five links in the external links section. As per WP:EXT, this is excessive. See WP:ELMINOFFICIAL: Normally, only one official link is included. If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances. However, Misplaced Pages does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website. Misplaced Pages does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites. Complete directories lead to clutter and to placing undue emphasis on what the subject says. Can we choose which one or two to include and delete the others?

A Google search yields this article as the first result at the twitter page as the second, so I guess it is the most popular official link. WarKosign 20:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Before anyone revert my edit, he actually has many cartoons about this topic.

Now I’ve linked an academic article about this. It is not original research anymore. :-) Azuizo (talk) 18:52, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
this ref is worth nothing as your claim is not supported + its in a foreign language without translation. --Denniss (talk) 19:33, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Non english sources are allowed, but it is in bounds to ask for a translation of the relevant portion. Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Non-English_sources.

Stance on Russia-Ukraine war

The article clearly lacks any mentions of pro-russian sentiment shared by the subject. Since 2014 he made several caricatures depicting Ukrainians in a dehumanizing way, like this:

I, as a Ukrainian, find it offensive

He oftentimes dubbs the Russian narrative about "all Ukrainians are nazis", examples:
