[edit] Ahwaz-related topics

Hi Alexander. I see that you have reverted some of the {WPARAB} templates from some of the Ahwaz-related talkpages. I totally agree about your reasoning but i believe you missed the point that WikiProjects are not categories. Tagging an article means that the scope of the article touches the Arab world at least historically. That's all about it. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 14:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, but placing a pan-Arab flag (flag of Arab league) on the article of Iranian cities seems like a pan-Arab attempt to label/claim Iranian territories as part of the Arab world. I would oppose if Iranians were doing the same thing on Arab articles, Bahrain for example has been historically a part of Iran, and Dubai has a huge Iranian population, but you don't see Iran's flag (WikiProject Iran) on the Bahrain or Dubai articles for obvious reasons. AlexanderPar 14:58, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
No Alexander, it is not a "pan-Arab attempt to label/claim Iranian territories as part of the Arab world". It is a WikiProject and i am responsible of the project and i am sure i am in no way a POV pusher. I've been here since a couple of years and i remember exactly when WikiProjects started.
"I would oppose if Iranians were doing the same thing on Arab articles" - Again, no. Please assume good faith. As an example, we have Wikipedia:WikiProject African diaspora which include most of the Afro-American topics. For instance, an article about [Dubai Iranians] would be treated as the African diaspora example and so on.
I think you are not familiar enough w/ WikiProjects and you are confusing categories w/ wikiprojects. I hope you assume good faith and understand the purpose of tagging. ~It has nothing to do w/ POV pushing. Thanks for your understanding. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 15:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Fayssal, WP:AGF does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of evidence to the contrary. I am confident that you have good intentions, and I do AGF with you, but User:Ahwaz's past behavior (20 blocks or so to his name for POV-pushing and edit-waring for pan-Arab causes [2]) is the evidence I am talking about. Placing a pan-Arab flag on Iranian cities is a provocative action, I am sure you'd get the same reaction from other editors if somebody tried to place this pan-Arab flag on the pages of Israeli cities with substantial Arab population like Haifa. AlexanderPar 15:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, the best thing we can do is to not put anything in there because after all, the WikiProject tag serves only to enhance articles and not to create conflicts. Just try to cool down the situation w/ User:Ahwaz. If you need help just approach me and if there's anything i can do to mediate between you, i'll be ready. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 15:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assume good faith

I wish to inform you that WP:AGF is Wikipedia policy. It seems that you have forgotten this: "restoring the discussion that led to a compormise and an agreement by both sides, the page was prematurely archived to hide the existing consensus." Do not let it happen again. By the way, the compromise that was reached was against WP:CONSENSUS, because it violated WP:LEAD.--Agha Nader (talk) 02:01, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I see that Agha Nader already responded to you about your comments. I would advise you to restrict your comments to discussions about the article, and avoid making assumptions about the editors. Aforementioned editors might take exception to mischaracterizations of their edits and smite you mightliy via responses. Be polite, or begone. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
This is the way it is going to work, sport. Stop attacking me, or you are going to deal with a rather sizable amount of unpleasantness. Consider this your only warning to stop attacking me. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 00:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
