Let's be clear. I wasn't eliminating mention of Wagners anti-Semitism.
But I was attempting to restore balance to the article by giving it
appropriate importance.  Devoting half the article to discussing the
man's anti-Semitism was clearly way out of line.

The brief discussion of anti-Semitism in Luther's article is closer to
what I had in mind for the Wagner article.
