[edit] Re: acting president

Hi. The Dalia Itzik article looks OK, it only says she assumed the function of president, not the position, which is quite accurate. How can I help?

I can read Arabic script, but my knowledge of the language is quite basic.--Doron 00:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know Arabic well enough to review that article, but I'm confident that it is as balanced as the Hebrew article (which doesn't say much, really).--Doron 08:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: explanation!

i recently made a clean up (and yet there is still room for more clean up though) on the links section of the "israel" article. right after it the updates were reverted, and i got a vandalizm alert!!

a. why is this vandalizm?!?!?! b. if you take the steps to alert on vandalizm, why don`t you state and explain your opinion that this is vandalizm?! that is very ignorant behavior! amos 20:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Look carefully at the edit I linked to – this one. You will see that as part of that edit, you added the text "Isreal is one collectivly huge dick!". Now, this may or may not have been intentional; however, I think you can see why I had to revert it. Please ensure you do not add such text again. Thanks – Qxz 20:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
There is not even a tiny chance that it was me who put this text on the page. this is a bug in the wikipedia system without any doubt. someone edit that page with this sentence and i edited the links at the same time. wikipedia administration put both changes under my name. not even 0.001% chance it was written under my edit. amos 20:53, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Nevertheless, it is there under your name, and nobody else edited the page between that and your last edit. I could hardly revert anyone else, could I? – Qxz 20:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
What probably happened is you edited this old version of the page instead of the current version, removed the links, and then saved it without noticing the vandalism, thereby re-introducing it and making it look like it was part of your edit. Always make sure you're editing the current version of a page (i.e. there's no red bar saying "this is an old version" at the top) unless you're reverting something.

[edit] Reuters

Hi Amosmos,

Regarding this edit, how do you know that that is indeed one of his pictures? Could you please provide some source detailing that? Thanks, TewfikTalk 06:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I would feel far more comfortable if you could show evidence of it actually being used in an article. Cheers, TewfikTalk 21:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
