Wikipedia censures and prohibits all evidence of the documented history of the translation of the word tahash in the Bible. I did not know this when I first went to that site for information on the puzzling KJV translation "badgers' skins". There was virtually nothing, except for a brief sentence in the Wikipedia article "Tabernacle". So I wrote an article and submitted it, and it was approved for creation, after the word "Bible" had been removed from the title "Badger skins (Bible)", making it read simply "Badger skins". I wrote a related article on the legendary animal "Tahash" under that heading, an empty page which was already in existence with only a redirect to "Tabernacle". I was pleased with the results of both and went away for about 2 weeks. Then I returned and took a look again to see if anyone had improved it.

''Every explicit reference'' to the outer covering of the tabernacle as badgers' skins and as tachash skins has been removed. This was a shock. Senior Wikipedia administrators had deleted and placed a "creation protection" barrier on the article "Badger skins (Bible)" 4 days after it was completed, approved and created. The moment these admins became aware of its existence, they initiated a SockPuppetInvestigation, charged its primary author with sockpuppetry and demanded complete article deletion. They emptied the related article page "Tachash" of all content and have made it again a redirect to article "Tabernacle". Everyone who contributed content to both articles has been blocked ''indefinitely''. Two years ago the same thing was done.

I have tracked down some of the history of this topic on Wikipedia, and some of the URL links to the unbelievably hostile Wikipedia Admin reaction against it are placed here for anyone who cares to read it. (Pray before you do!)
