[edit] Re:Holocaust cruelty

Huh? What are you talking about?

I warned the user after you because they made those edits. Are you trying to say that it was your friend who made those edits?

--Nishkid64 22:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

You're missing something here. I did not say you vandalized the page. I warned the IP address who edited the page after you and added all the "gay" stuff. Why do you keep thinking I'm accusing you of vandalism? --Nishkid64 23:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

cos it was my username that got the message. anyway do you like my article?

Check out the user_talk page history. I did not warn you about the article. I warned the IP address. All the edits I made to this page were part of the conversation we have right now under this section heading. --Nishkid64 15:56, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

my sincerest apologies, im a bit of a dope

[edit] Offer

  • Thanks for your kind offer, I do happen to be Jewish myself, and in the midst of a B.A. in Jewish Studies. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future. -- pm_shef

cool do you have MSN? Ahadland 23:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holocaust Cruelty

I did not and do not propose that the article be deleted. A request for expert attention is by no means a request for deletion. A request for expert attention means that someone who has a better knowledge of the subject will suggest what other course of action to take.

That said, i do have some objections to the article, which are already mentioned on the articles talk-page. V. Joe 15:42, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Please don't object, it took me weeks to write that, and I'm only new to Wikipedia, perhaps you could show me the ropes and suggest ways for me to improve my article?

[edit] International Response to the Holocaust

Just letting you know that you listed the article for deletion incorrectly. The article was already put up for afd discussion before and the result was keep. You need to change the AFD tags to reflect a second nomination. --Strothra 22:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your nominations, but I'd just like to repeat this request - please follow the instructions. I think they're reasonably clear, you just need to follow them step by step; if you find any part of them confusing, I'd be happy to help, and I see Andrew C has said he would too.

I'm afraid I don't know when the image will be featured on the main page. I believe User:Howcheng is the one that organises that area. It might be a few months though, as there are a lot of pictures to get through! Raven4x4x 23:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holocaust

Hi, I notice that you made some major changes to article on The Holocaust, most of which was finding citations, which is great. However, in a couple of places you removed sizeable chunks of text, in particular the section dealing with the functionalism / intentionalism debate. I assume you did this because those sections were uncited (it would help if you provided edit summaries, saying why you are making a particular edit) but it is not generally a good idea to remove big sections without discussion on the talk page first. This is doubly true for sensitive subjects like the Holocaust. For this reason I have undone some of your edits, replacing the sections on children, functionalism / intentionalism, Klaus Barbie and ‎Aribert Heim. I've added {{fact}} tags to the latter two. Cheers, Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 16:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Sorry I didnt see the need for functionalism and intentionalism to be there, and if it was it should be much smaller, and i deleted the children thing because i wrote it first and worded it badly, i was re-wording it and then gonna put it in with sources that could be cited
I sort of agree that the length of the functionalism and intentionalism section is excessive, since it's longer than the Functionalism versus intentionalism article, but still probably best to bring it to the article talk page first. Something that long is likely to have been worked on by many editors over a period of time. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 10:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi again, I'm not sure what's going wrong, but your 'cite web' templates seem to be malformed; They come out as:

Error on call to Template:cite web: Parameters url and title must be specified.

I think you need to put
|title of web page
before the final }}. You can look at the result of your editing with the 'show preview' button. Cheers, Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 21:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I have done and its coming out fine, or at least it does when i hit the show preview button. Wikipedia hates me :-(

[edit] POTD

Hi and thanks for creating the POTD for February 24. However, this image isn't going to be scheduled until much later. The PsOTD are selected from the Featured Pictures and are scheduled in order of promotion (the order is preserved on Wikipedia:Featured pictures thumbs). You happened to come upon it in a weird point. The last "new" one in order was done on February 21 (trench warfare). Then I scheduled a rerun on the 22nd (we do 2 old ones a week to make sure we don't run out), then on the 23rd there's a bird which should have come earlier, but I delayed that one because we just had another House Sparrow on January 21. Thus, the one that's supposed to go on the 24th is the chipmunk picture. The Titanic pic is 61 places behind it, which is almost three months away. Regards, howcheng {chat} 21:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Holocaust question

Hello, Ahadland. If you are still interested in the matter I've left a detailed response to the interesting question you raised on the Humanities page on the location of Extermination Camps, as free from waffle as I can manage! Best wishes. Clio the Muse 02:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Aww thanks, thats real nice, I'll go take a looksie. Thanks again. Your response is really incisive—given the breadth of the question—, well written and knowledgeable. Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my question Ahadland 21:02, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] hi

just wanted to say hi cause i agreed w/ ur commnent about the main page bye! --Juicy FUN1 02:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

  • aww thanks a lot. How do we go about getting a "featured question", leave messages on adminstrators talk pages?

[edit] Edits to The Holocaust

Is there any particular reason you're ripping pieces out of the article? Justin Eiler 01:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm attempting to be incisive, and the articles integrity hasn't been disrupted. Therefore i see no reason why you chose to comment unless you felt that ive wiped out important information? Ahadland 02:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Titanic grand staircase.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Titanic grand staircase.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. |EPO| 10:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POTD scheduling

Due to a general increase in interest in writing the POTD by a number of different Wikipedians, I've created the POTD scheduling guidelines. Please have a look and feel free to schedule more PsOTD. Thanks! howcheng {chat} 01:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, have you read the guidelines yet? I know you are eager to get the FP you nominated onto POTD, but it's still 19 pictures away, so please be patient. The Titanic pic won't be up for POTD until May 2. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 01:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:Jew_nose.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Jew_nose.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed.

[edit] March 2007

Please do not blank large pieces of articles without citing issues, problems or otherwise noting the reason like you did with The Holocaust article. Thank you. BlindEagle 19:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

    • Ive already stated on the articles talk page i think the article is far too big, im condensing things which are irrelevant, such as what happened in croat? Who cares? You need to only mention who was killed overall—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted your edits to The Holocaust. Please take this up on the talk page if you have a good method for splitting off articles from the main one. Thanks. --EarthPerson 19:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Id've thought most people would have approved—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs) 19:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I really think you should take it to the talk page. The new pages you were creating were lacking references from the main one. --EarthPerson 19:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
It was the same text from the article itself, just redirected to a new location Ahadland 19:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to The Holocaust, you will be blocked from editing. Gwernol 19:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

  • What, well why was the article allowed to become so, politely, thorough? I'll stop but it really does need to be made more incisiveAhadland 19:41, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Incisive means direct, not necessarily short. Some subject require extensive coverage to fully document them. If you are going to make major changes to an article, especially one as controversial as The Holocaust, you need to discuss it first on the talk page. As noted above, the sub-articles you created have a number of problems: the references are broken, they don't cover just the subjects you have titled them for and by pushing some information out of the main article you may introduce bias into the coverage of the subject. For these reasons it is very important that you discuss your proposed changes. As you can see, you assumption that "people would have approved" isn't a good one in this case. Thanks, Gwernol 19:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
So, you think the article is an appropriate size? Ahadland 19:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I think the article is the result of a lot of work by numerous dedicated editors, and one person coming in an makingn unilateral decisions based on their opinions is inappropriate. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. Gwernol 19:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
So the answer to my question is. So like a politician not a yes or no —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs).
I'm asking you to respect the process, I don't have a specific opinion about the length of the article. Gwernol 20:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
So why are you involved in a dispute about the length of the article?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs).
Because you deleted a large chunk of the article without explaining why and continued to do it after being politely asked by multiple editors not to. You did this to an article that is highly sensitive in a manner that did not help Wikipedia or the article. I am asking you to follow the process and collaborate with other editors on the article's talk page instead of acting unilaterally. Gwernol 20:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Well im very sorry for my reckless editing how do i begin the protest of petitioning the articles size? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs).
Go to the article's talk page. Propose a set of changes. Discuss with the other editors on that talk page. Reach consensus between you on what changes to make. Make the changes after consensus has been reached. Gwernol 20:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks!

Then make sure the tickbox underneath that (Raw signature (If unchecked, the contents of the box above... etc.) is unticked, then click save.

[edit] Answers to your Reference Desk questions

...regarding Nazi-era photos of Jews being humiliated, have already been provided there by myself and others. Have you followed up by reading the material suggested to you, before repeating your queries? The rapid posting of your query on my User talk page indicates to me that you haven't.

More to the point, perhaps, are the nature of your assertions and speculations about the photographed spectators' motives and behaviors, and your stated difficulty in understanding such. These seem to me quite inconsistent with the information you've provided about yourself on your recently created User page, particularly your being an Ashkenazic Jewish young adult residing in an English-speaking Western country, a Mensa member familiar with contemporary television programs, etc. You evidently have Internet access and are literate, so any gaps in your education regarding knowledge of human behavior, society, history, etc. can certainly be remedied.

If your questions are rhetorical, I would again refer you to factual sources already provided. If you're looking for discussion: while the proper venue in Wikipedia would indeed be on the User talk pages, kindly understand that I myself am not available to engage in such, beyond my replies on the Reference desk. -- Thank you, Deborahjay 00:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Im sorry its just that the topic really ticks me off, and I want to understand why people accepted what was happening, because Im Jewish, and naturally would like to understand why my people are being made to suffer --User:Ahadland1234 11:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
As I read your questions: you seek to understand (a) why non-Jews (e.g. the onlookers in the photos) "accepted" [as you purport, which I contend can't be known from the photos) what was happening, and (b) why Jews (e.g. inhabitants of ghettos being liquidated, or sent on transports to extermination camps) acquiesced to what was being done to them. You will find the answers by reading the Wikipedia pages on these and related topics (accessible by internal links), along with the many books, both fiction and nonfiction, recommended to you in response to your queries on the Reference desk. Numerous users here have offered you helpful guidance and significant ideas; now I believe it's time for you to follow through by studying and learning. You may also find it valuable to talk with people in your community, such as a rabbi or history teacher, or in Internet forums on these topics. -- Good luck, Deborahjay 12:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
On the other pictures i put up there are clearly people forming a ring, and smiling, this is, in my view, people supporting the events. And you misinterpreted my second question, I wondered why non-ghetto inhabitants didn't wonder why the ghettos had suddenly become quiet. Wouldnt it strike them as strange that one minute the ghetto's are crowded and full of hustle and bustle, and the next they are deathly silent? I know that that sort of occurrence would perplex me --User:Ahadland1234 14:37, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I think it would be fair to say that the ghettos' neighbors — people who had lived for years under Nazi occupation during the world war — would not be so perplexed as you seem to suppose. If you don't understand this yet, evidently your previous education has failed to provide you some very basic understanding of 20th century warfare and European history. Fortunately, a great deal of information is available to remedy this. Your lack of comprehension is likely to be dispelled when you go read about WWII as you have been repeatedly told. As for the smiling bystanders, let's think of some possibilities besides those that have already been raised in previous, lengthy discussion:
  • The picture was staged
  • The people are Nazi sympathizers
  • They are experiencing schadenfreude
I think the time has come to end this discussion, as I really have nothing more to add. Perhaps you should contact your local Mensa chapter for further academic guidance should you require any.-- Hope this helps, Deborahjay 15:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Forgive me but this script reads like you think I'm a moron, which I am not. Our history lessons didn't devote much time as to why people who lived near the ghetto's weren't shocked by them being liquidated, subsequently, you havent answered my question either regarding that. I am only sixteen and do not understand why citizens would just watch while people are being shot by the Einsatzgruppen, or persecuted. My question is simple, why do people let this sadism occur. And thus far, I've received only a limited number of adequate reponses. As to why the people in the pictures are smiling what you have said makes sense, but how would you stage something like that, and if it were staged that shows that Nazi policy had little widespread support, so the photographs wouldn't have been used. Other than that your answer is very nice. --User:Ahadland1234 17:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
First of all: staging photos with costumed actors is easy enough, and remember that the mass media in WWII-era Europe was by no means as developed as today's, and was controlled besides. By the time the ghettos were liquidated (1941 –1944), the Nazis' murderous practices aimed at civilian populations were familiar and hard to combat, resistance (incl. partisan and underground) movements being the exception. I would say overall: simple (and fair) questions of ethics and human nature have long occupied far greater minds than mine, and with no conclusive (or brief) answers. Please accept my apology for the exasperated tone you noted in my later remarks, and this explanation: I am deeply concerned at the prospect that an intelligent young person educated in a Western democracy nowadays would have such difficulty accepting the fact (as I and many see it, though not the Holocaust deniers) of apparent or actual failure to oppose the Nazis during their ascent and regime. Or perhaps you are expressing a form of moral outrage? We may consider warfare and terrorism to be two major failures of the human race to behave humanely: the victimization of the weak by the stronger, brutalizes and dehumanizes both. For all the reasons and explanations given for antisemitism, none seem to help neutralize, let alone eradicate it. Studying the lessons of the Holocaust will confront you with untold horrors and terrors, but you will learn much. The difficult part is finding how to make a difference for good, but I can assure you that this is sorely needed, and worthwhile. For what it's worth, I think you're asking the right questions; I wish more people would. -- Yours truly, Deborahjay 21:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FPC reshooting

Please revisit Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Timothy Blackstone Bronze Plaque and reconsider your vote. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 14:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for informing me of this, I have since changed my vote to support. --User:Ahadland1234 14:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Adoption

Well, we can get started right now, or whenever you'd like. Just leave me a message when you want and with whatever you want to start with (If you don't know, just tell me). Talk to you soon. Alex43223 T | C | E 22:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Okay

Thats fine. I can see you've been editing since August 12, 2006, so even though you have a majority of wiki-space edits, I trust you know the quintessential basics of editing. With this in mind, do you know the basics of images? If not I'd suggest we start there. Otherwise, I'd suggest we start with Wikipedia process. Are you interested in learning about process? If not, do you JUST want to edit articles, or what? Just tell me about this, and then I can better understand what it is that we should start with. Cheers. Alex43223 T | C | E 23:28, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I know how to do pictures. I'd just like to learn some of the more complex procedures. --User:Ahadland1234 23:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Bezier curves

Hi, I noticed you added the {{FPCresult}} template to this nomination yesterday. Did you intend to close it? --KFP (talk | contribs) 15:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeh but then I remembered that that tool was for administrators or something. Sorry --User:Ahadland1234 18:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it's not admin-only and new closers are welcome. However, I don't see a clear consensus at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Bezier curves on whether to promote the all-in-one version or the separate versions as a set yet. --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
