[edit] PSL

Hey, you're Tunisian, right? Do you know anything about this party? I'm mainly interested in whether it's genuinely oppositional or not, and what that means in Tunisian politics today; can't find much on the web (and what I can find is in French, which I'm not very good at). Arre 06:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I am Tunisian, as my info boxes indicate:). For a short answer, the party is nothing in Tunisian politics.
I don't know anything about it. I mean, I've heard of it, but that's all. There is no real opposition in Tunisia. The only real opposition has been the Nahda party a decade ago, but it's been destroyed, most of its supporters are either in exile or in prison or dead, and it's been discredited so it enjoys no support within the country today. Most people wouldn't be able to give you one presidential candidate name besides the current President's, others are just puppet candidates who called for voting for the ruling president, for the show. Some people might have heard or even know the name the main leader of the MDS though, a leftist socialist leaning party which is the strongest opposition party inside Tunisia, relatively speaking of course (it actually is quite unsignificant compared to the ruling party).--Yobaranut 06:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
ah, okay. i thought it might be like that, although i also thought that the nahda movement was still big (but completely suppressed). just shows what i know. thanks for the answer! Arre 06:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment

Hey Yobaranut (where does that name come from anyway?).

I saw your comment at the Flag of Western Sahara poll, and thought you might consider scrapping it. I posted several request on unrelated pages, and I can assure you all those people have come to give their opinions to help, and not to push a certain POV.

Calling them zealots is kind of insulting, especially considering that they put energy into the page because the editors of the page themselves couldnt agree on anything because they were so entrenched in their own POV. Perhaps you would consider rephrasing it?

Thanks MOA for pointing that out, I corrected myself. I can sometimes sound harsher than I really want to in my writing style.
My nick is just an alteration of something I've been once called me years ago:)--Yobaranut 23:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation request

Hello, I saw that you are a native speaker of Arabic, so I would like to ask you if you could take a look at 2003 invasion of Iraq and Iraq War. There is a featured article in Arabic which we would like to know how it could be used the English one which is of course dominated by people who have either been there as soldiers or have their knowledge from western media. Someone also asked if the section about "related propaganda and phrases" could be amplified with information about the Iraqi side. Maybe there are also people who took photos in Iraq at the Arabic version? Nameme 16:24, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Juste un petit bonjour :)

Juste un petit mot pour vous dire que j'ai apprécié vos réponses pour contrer la propagande pro polisario de User:Koavf, non pas que je pense qu'il faille faire taire les opposants de l'intégration du Sahara au Maroc, mais il ne faut pas que WP devienne une tribune politique pour ce genre de pratiques, surtout quand les faits et l'usage même des mots sont présentés de façon aussi pernicieuse tout en se drapant du couvert de l'impartialité, cela dénature la nature de ce projet. Hélas il faut beaucoup d'énergie pour contrer quelqu'un qui consacre une majeure partie de son temps et de son énergie à cette activité. Je pense aussi que plus le nombre de marocains augmentera sur ce site, plus ce problème risque de générer des guerres verbales épiques. En tous cas je suis toujours content de voir des maghrébins à bord :) amitiés.--Khalid hassani 18:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
