User talk:Audentis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you haven't already gleaned from my User Page, my primary interest is in History, particularly Canadian history and the history of Francophone minority (or majority) communities in North America. In a larger sense I am interested in and familiar with many other topics of Western history, notably American history, British history and the history of just about any and all European countries (Eastern Europe included). I am currently a member of the Association of Members' Advocates (AMA) here at Wikipedia, so feel free to post a message if there is a dispute you need an advocate for, regardless of the field of knowledge involved.
Pages I have created (so far):
Please feel free to add any comments about pages I've created or edited to this page, or to the discussion section of the article itself, if you so choose.

- Thank you Audentis for your response on my talk page and your willingness to help. Here is an important link which validates my claim that Tirat Carmel was developed on the site of the evacuated Palestinian-Arab village of al-Tirah. I've learned a great deal from this external link and I plan to add that information to the article -- once the arbitration process is over and I can be sure that there will be no further tampering with the facts:
- And here is another link, which validates my position on the second point of contention -- that the MATAM industrial park is part of nearby Haifa, and therefore should not be mentioned in an article about Tirat Carmel:

- WOW! What thorough research!
- Thank you Audentis for your immense help. The research you have done and your pains to uphold impartiality are amazing.
- As you have noticed, I did revise the article again, the reason being that I merged it with the article on Tirat Karmel (With a 'K') and felt I might as well edit it according to my findings.

- This has been my first 'major' work on the Wikipedia and I've learned much of a technical nature. More importantly, however, I've learned from your example what standards one should uphold when contributing to the Wikipedia. RCSB 00:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski)
-
- Dear all,
- Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.
- Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed.
- The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29
- The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.
- We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.
- Best regards,
- Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza

[edit] Request for advocacy
Hello, I am an editor on the 2004 U.S. presidential election controversy and irregularities article. Recently a user has voiced a number of complaints about the article, and a number of editors, including myself, have replied. Unfortunately, the discussion between he and I has deteriorated to such an extent that he has taken to ignoring me.[1] I was hoping you might be interested in acting as an advocate for me in this dispute, providing your views on the issue or how it can be resolved, or anything else you think may help before I take the next step and attempt more formal mediation. The details of the dispute are on the article's talk page, starting here. It might also be helpful to look at the article's edit history starting at 2006-05-04 04:11:57 UTC. Thank you. -- noosphere 00:22, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need help - I feel intimidated by cop who is editor
Hi, I am reaching out to you with an odd situation even for Wikipedia. I attempted to edit the article on John Littlechild 1who led the first Special Irish Branch for the UK police and who also investigated the Jack the Ripper and Oscar Wilde cases. I saw that the article only touched on the career points of the subject. I noted that the formation of the Special Branch was opressive to the Irish and that Littlechild has a homophobe for his prosecution of Wilde.
These edits were promptly removed several times by editor Ben W. Bell 2 - a pro British Irishman. The editor Necrothesp 3 -- who authored the article -- also removed various entries. I even reduced the entry to say that the formation of the Special Branch was oppressive to the Irish and nothing more. This too was removed under the excuse that I was offering a POV and not a neutral objective fact.
I was going to get administrators to act as third parties but became intimidated by one simple fact -- on Necrothesp's user page its states that he is a British cop and a member of the U.K. Territorial army. I could go on forever talking about why the British police should not be allowed to edit articles on Northern Ireland but that would be useless. I travel in the UK a great deal and the police have special powers to trace users of any BBS system.
Necrothesp and Ben W. Bell also kept posting on my talk page after I said I felt intimidated. I asked them nicely to leave unitl after the editing conflict wass resolved but they still kept posting. I feel very intimidated. I would like to revise the article with more solid sources but fear being ganged up on again by Necorthesp the cop and his friend Ben W. Bell. In the last entry he made on my talk page Necorthest suggested I leave Wikipedia altogether which is very intimidating coming from someone who is a policeman 4.
I would still like to edit the article but would like you or some other advocate to watch what is being said and done. Please help!
I look forward to hearing from you.
