Removal of links to pages that depict masks
I removed the following links from the External Links subsection:
I removed them because they were broken. However, I didn't fix them, because upon examination of the remaining link I discovered that the oficial Haudenosaunee policy is that the masks should not be depicted or shown to the public at all. I will fix the Modern Conflicts section accordingly, as it mentions the Haudenosaunee policy, but is not very clear about its contents. I am unsure about whether the broken links should be fixed, as I am not sufficently informed on Wikipedia policy. Can anyone with an encyclopedic knowledge of Wikipedia policy and its interaction with content "owners" policy enlighten me about what should be done? I am inherently biased against hiding knowledge of any kind, yet, at the same time, I do not relish the opportunity to show cultural insensitivity. Apwith (talk) 15:37, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not censored, so the links shouldn't be removed just because somebody says such links shouldn't be distributed. On the other hand, links to works that infringe copyright are prohibited, but I'm not sure what is the copyright status of photos of those masks. Svick (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Iroquois Traditionalist Society
In editing the Modern Conflicts subsection, I became curious about the "Iroquois Traditionalist Society". In order to find a reference I googled it (the previous link), but only came up with this articles material and spam derived from it. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the phrase, but the capitalisation leads me to think that this is a specific or "formal" group within Haudenosaunee society. Does anybody know more about this?
