[edit] Jewish libertarians

There's no such category. If it existed, it would probably be deletable as a meaningless intersection. I have reverted your additions. -- Y not? 18:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paleocon category

Please don't add categories, like category:paleoconservatives, to biographies that don't mention that political orientation. Otherwise there's no assertion to back it up. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I must second this, as you have made a similar edit to the James Bamford article, putting him in the "anti-Zionists" category. There is no mention whatsoever of his attitudes toward the state of Israel in the article, thus you cannot just add him to this category. Incidentally, I highly doubt that Bamford qualifies as an anti-Zionist, but if you have evidence that he does you could include it in the article and then add him to that category. Thanks.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:14, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] William Cash (journalist)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on William Cash (journalist), by Slp1 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because William Cash (journalist) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Attack? I am concerned about the lack of sources (especially reliable sources) for these very controversial (and NPOV?) claims about a living person. He does not even seem to be a "famous journalist" based on a quick google search, but certainly seems to have written at least one article for the Spectator


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting William Cash (journalist), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate William Cash (journalist) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

A tag has been placed on Andrew McCarthy (journalist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

attack page: an unsourced biography of a living person which makes a controversial assertion about advocacy of torture. I can find no reliable source for this person's name and "legalized torture"

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Slp1 01:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Comrade! I am quite worried about some of the edits and especially the new pages you have created and have nominated 2 of them for deletion because I am concerned that they are unsourced. They contain significant negative allegations, and these must be sourced if they are to remain in an article, most especially when the person is living. Can I suggest that you carefully read the policy about this WP:BLP before you create or edit any other articles about living people? Thanks and good Luck! --Slp1 01:59, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article

Hi Comrade and thanks for your message. The good news is that I have absolutely no say in whether you recreate an article about Mr. Cash! It is totally up to you! But before you do, I think it would be very important that you read (and inwardly digest) certain key Wikipedia policies, including Biographies of Living People, Neutral Point of View, Reliable Sources and even Notability. Based on a cursory google searches on this person, I have found it very difficult find reliable sources for him, since websites, blogs, commentaries etc are out as sources and these seem to make up most of the references to him (online at least). Maybe you will be more successful than me! All of these policies have serious implications about what you write, the words you use, and even whether you have enough reliably sourced material to warrant an article at all. Maybe a brief mention in a related article (with a reliable source of course) would be better. Let me know if you need any more help or questions. Slp1 19:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Ben-Ariel

The same comments I wrote above also apply to the Ben-Ariel article which you have created. You have added references, which is a great start, but they are not Reliable Sources because they are blogs, advertisements for books, etc or do not link to any specific articles. None of them (that I can see) contain the information you have added about him, and these absolutely need reliable sources before they can be included on Wikipedia. I am removing the most problematic examples immediately. Please do not reinstate them unless you can find reliable sources for this information, and that does not include blogs, forums etc. I realize that learning about the rules here can be difficult and frustrating and I hope you don`t get discouraged! --Slp1 01:13, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable contributors

I notice that you are adding to the lists of "notable contributors" in various articles. For Wikipedia purposes, "notable" means having a WP biography. So if a name is redlinked, it isn't notable. Now there are sometimes exceptions - people who genuinely merit an article but about whom one hasn't been written - but it's a good rule of thumb to follow. As a reminder, the criteria for an article is at WP:BIO. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Will Beback just made up a non-existent rule, in order to rationalize his own political prejudices and personal grudges, and to limit, by any means necessary, the entries, citations, and links to writers popularly identified as conservative. A study of his history of wikistalking and vendettas as User:Will Beback alias User:Willmcw alias User:User2004, and of censoring articles on race and ethnicity, will bear out the above charge.

On his vendettas, see:

[edit] June 2007

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Jacob Katz, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from inventing non-existent "policies," in order to intimidate editors out of creating pages about significant figures towards whom you are hostile, due to your political POV. Such behavior is highly inappropriate, and not in accordance with our policies. Thank you.
70.23.167.160 20:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Katz

It's not because he's not notable - it's because you didnt say WHY he was notable. Unless you state why, and provide sources proving this, then it is considered not notable. Also plase note, I did not delete the page and I cannot delete pages. I just placed a notice saying that it should be. Please read the notability policies. It's not just about whether they are notable, it's if you say they are notable and have a source to prove it. Also, if you are writing very small articles, you can reduce the chances of them getting deleted as quickly using a stub tag, by placing {{stub}} at the bottom of the page. Lastly, when placing comments on pages, please sign your posts with ~~~~. This will add your username and the date/time so that people can reply easier.

Thanks, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 01:33, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Dan Seligman

A tag has been placed on Dan Seligman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 19:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

Thanks for contributing so many new articles. However you appear to be using a poorly-formatted article as your template. You might review the changes I made to Marcus Epstein.

  • Subject names should be made bold with three quote marks (''') rather than brackets ([[]]).
  • External links sections should be called "External links" (note the lowercase second word - headings use sentence case.)
  • Use {{writer-stub}} instead of [[Category:Writer stubs]].
  • Avoid redundant categories. All Korean Americans are American people, for example. We generally only use the "sharpest" category.
  • Use {{DEFAULTSORT:lastname, firstname}} so that articles will be sorted correctly in category listings.

If you follow these guidelines then it will make your articles more consistent with the rest of the project. Cheers. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of The American Cause

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The American Cause, by RHaworth (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The American Cause is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The American Cause, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Charley Reese. As a member of the Wikipedia community, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information of living persons must not be libelous.

[edit] David Ben-Ariel

A tag has been placed on David Ben-Ariel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how David Ben-Ariel is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:David Ben-Ariel saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. Jayran 17:22, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not delete material from Wikipedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/COIReports/2007, May 27.

What evidence do you have that James Bamford is a paleoconservative? I have never heard him described that way, either by himself or others, and he is not described that way in our article, yet you keep adding the paleoconservative category to his article. If you do not explain the basis for categorizing him that way I am going to remove the category again. I don't think it is remotely appropriate to add that cat unless Bamford himself describes himself that way, or unless he is widely described that way by others (the latter seems particularly unlikely).

[edit] Campaign to Delete Nicholas Stix

< Wikipedia:Articles for deletion Jump to: navigation, search [edit] Nicholas Stix Nicholas Stix (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log) Subject is a barely-noted blogger and freelance journalist. He has not been the subject of any profiles, and has not won any awards, though he has been mentioned in passing in a few articles on other topics. Previously, an editor, possibly Stix himself, made a nuisance of himself by doing nothing but adding links and mentions of Stix to numerous articles.User:70.23.199.239/User:70.23.167.160 This article was created by a brand-new account, and I suspect it's more self-promotion. •:• Will Beback •:• 06:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nicholas_Stix

The admin initiating the AfD has a well-known vendetta against Stix, and against conservatives in general. The trigger appears to have been a minor edit by you. As far as I can see, whenever you start or edit an article about a conservative intellectual or journalist, one pc admin or another immediately nominates the article in question for deletion.

Excuse me, but adding the restrained category, "Blogs critical of Judaism," at an article about a Web site that was founded by a former member of the American Nazi Party, a site whose very name is an unmistakable allusion to Nazism, does not constitute vandalism, and cannot lead to a block, though your attempt at intimidation may lead to one.

[edit] May 2008

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, you will be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 00:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to List of massacres committed during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Nick Griffin, you will be blocked from editing. Gwernol 22:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

You wrote the following on my user page (minor note - please use talk pages to leave messages, not user pages):

'Any proof that he is a Holocaust denier? I know that wikipedia insists Mahmoud Abbas is not. I know that Griffin is one of few patriotic Brits left, and a mainstream conservative as opposed to a neo or pseudo conservative. He is also on the front lines risking his career fighting Nazism and radical Islam. So if you print slander on a respected figure who undoubtedly deserves to be knighted, I will request that you be blocked.

Did you read the article? It has a whole paragraph, complete with sources, detailing Griffin's holocaust denial. You have made your point of view extremely clear, and your continued vandalism of that (and other) articles has resulted in a block. When the block expires, please avoid such actions. Thanks, Gwernol 22:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced Categories, again

What's your source for Lawrence Auster being a "former leftist"? There's no mention in the article. Every category you add should be supported by sourced information in the article. If you don't respond I'll remove the categories you've added. Note that you've had many complaints about this type of editing in the past. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Seeing no response, I have to asume you have no sources for the category application. I've reverted those that didn't have any mention of past leftism. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] typo or what?

I reverted your recent edit to Rob Knox. You changed "Jamie, who was being threatened by two men." to "Jamie, who was being threatened by black two men." Not only is the word "black" in the wrong place, but the skin color of the men attacking Jamie is not relevant to an article about his brother. I marked it as pure vandalism and was going to give you the usual {{uw-vand1}} welcome before realizing you were an established editor. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Jacobs as eugenicist

If you are determined to have this part of the Wiki article on the great folklorist - please get a better reference - a vague mention of a "Mr. Jacobs" (it is after all quite a common surname) at the end of an article on the subject is really neither specific nor reliable enough. If Joseph Jacobs really was interested in eugenics then there is very likely to be a published record of this - in fact unless he actually published something on the topic himself it is probably not sufficiently notable anyway. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 19:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Copy edit from my page: The article says Joseph Jacobs, not just Jacobs. Are we reading the same article? It is also clear that it is the fairy tale writer Joseph Jacobs, as the findings of the study on the Jewish children were published in the Jewish Encyclopedia which the fairy tale writer helped edit. I'll bring more sources though.
Oops! found the reference to "Joseph Jacobs" on the previous page! Missed that in my first reading. Yes, I do accept we are talking about the same person!! But finding a mention of his name in an article on a subject is not conclusive, what we would want would be a copy of the text of the paper J.J. read. He may even have concluded from the results of the experiment that there WAS no "Jewish type", or that his interest was purely in the facial features of the boys (not necessarily from an eugenic point of view). In any case this is very highly peripheral to a case linking eugenics and J.J. As for the second reference - it is a very fleeting and most inconclusive reference in a review - it might pay to get hold of a copy of the work concerned? If it is in fact authoritative enough to serve as an encyclopediac source. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 21:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


N.B. I have copied this exchange to the "discussion" tab on the article concerned - suggest you pursue the matter there.

[edit] Race and Rob Knox

While newspapers may report titillating details such as the race of attackers, in most cases the information is not encyclopedic and has no place here. It might be encyclopedic if the incident lead to a race riot or to anti-race-based-hate-crime legislation, but otherwise at best it's mere trivia. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 20:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, your extraordinary line about most blacks in the UK being African. Firstly, I think you will find most blacks in the UK are British. If you are referring to their heritage for some reason you might realise the influx of immigrants from the Caribbean. Your comments about Aborigines and Indians indicate further confusion. Either way, the race of the alleged attackers are not important. MrMarmite (talk) 12:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
