[edit] Sarkozy

What do you mean you "haven't paid attention to the fact that categories were involved"? You were the person who inserted the categories, no-one else did, including Category:French Jews. Did your fingers just type in those categories without your noticing? Jayjg (talk) 02:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

The "haven't paid attention to the fact that categories were involved" means that it wasn't me who did insert them. It was the "new user being blocked" who did that. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 03:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Look, you can't have it both ways. Either you were supporting the now-blocked tendentious new editor, or you were deliberately inserting those categories. Now, it looks to me like you were just supporting the blocked editor, by reverting for him. If I were you I'd just leave it at that. Jayjg (talk) 03:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I only can have it my way, maybe not in the colour you prefer. however, it wasn't neither for your first claim nor for the second. The fact that you haven't paid attention to whom he did insert that proves that we liked the same colour; the colour of being a bit in a rush w/o having enough time to breathe. I've already talked a couple of days ago about the fact that not only me who is having problems. Please take it easy Jay and assume good faith again and again. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 03:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Let's assume the it was me who did insert those cats. Doesn't the person who falls into my "favourite human" category (there is only him indeed!) is contained in similar categories? So what's your point exactly? -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 03:21, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request your opinion on proper use of article Talk Pages

This is probably a borderline case and not a huge abuse but, since I started it, I may as well finish it.

There is a perennial "Marvin was a hero" discussion over at Talk:Marvin Heemeyer. It comes up about once a month or so. I just recently deleted the latest incarnation with an edit summary warning that article talk pages are not to be used as a discussion forum per WP:NOT. Another editor reverted my deletion which I reverted back and he reverted yet again. It's obviously time to stop this since it is a nascent edit war.

So, I seek your advice. Should this sort of discussion be allowed to take place on article Talk Pages? I admit that I've seen much worse abuse on other article Talk Pages. I guess part of the issue is the perennial and futile nature of this thread. Nobody will ever convince anybody and it really is unrelated to the editing of the article.

What are your thoughts?

--Richard 06:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Richard, it would have been much more polite (instead of merely reverting) to actually attempt dialogue regarding this matter- especially given the alternative of dumping it into the laps of several otherwise uninvolved people. The discussion at hand isn't just a "Marvin was a hero" piece of cruft- a user had some rather serious complaints about the tone of the article, which was what his post was regarding. Statements like "How can you not take this into account in the way the article is written?" and "This article does no justice for a man" might betray a lack of NPOV on the editors account, but do convey a legitimate question as to whether or not the article has followed the proper point of view. The edit certainly wasn't vandalism, and it also wasn't off-topic- the user posed a question on the talk page that was ABOUT THE ARTICLE. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you, if you want to, despite the fact that I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't try to talk to me about it before bringing in uninvolved outside folk. Ex-Nintendo Employee 07:34, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
To Ex-Nintendo Employee, I understand your feeling that I should have opened a dialogue with you. It was late at night and I was about to go to bed. I figured I'd sleep on it, ask for advice and deal with it in the morning.
If you wanted a dialoge, you could have left a message on my Talk Page and opened the dialogue yourself. I asked FayssalF for his opinion because I could see that this was getting disputatious and needed some advice as to what would be a good way to proceed. FayssalF is my "admin coach" and so I thought it absolutely proper to ask him and another admin that I respect (User:JoanneB) for advice about whether I was concerned about something important or being overly and obnoxiously rigid about the rules and guidelines for article Talk Pages. I was trying to restrain myself before I got disputatious about something that might not be all that important.

[edit] User:Funnypop12/User:Albertbrown80, User:Dhanmondi

Hi Fayssal, I have two abusive users I'd like to bring to your attention.
First, Funnypop12/Albertbrown80, who continues the same blanking he's been doing for six months now. He's ignored all the warnings and blocks directed his way. I think it's time for an indef as a vandalism-only SPA. It seems like a waste of time to bring this to WP:ANI, but I suppose I will do so if you recommend it.
The other is a new user User:Dhanmondi. This is a spam-only SPA. While there hasn't been too much activity yet, I can't see the purpose of giving him a second chance, as there's not really any "him" there, just spam. I have seen spammers blocked incrementally before, it doesn't work: at best, they wait until the block expires and resume. If User wants to return under some other name and participate normally, nothing really stops him from doing so.
In both cases, users have been unwisely encouraged by third parties, User:ALM scientist and Matt57 respectively. That these disruptive users have are allowed to persist sends the wrong message to established editors; conversely, indefs in both cases might prove therapeutic to members of our community who we would rather see on the right track.Proabivouac 07:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pro. It seems Funnypop12 is back but i like process and will file a CU request today and sort this out once and for all. As per, Dhanmondi, the next time they would do it again it would be indef. I've just left them the final warning. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 09:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dhanmondi

Dear Fayssal I got your message I am a new user so have to know many rules regarding editing wikipedia. But I think the link I put in Dr.Zakir Naiks article is completely right because I think wikipedia stands for non-bias information not for advertisenment for some people.In Dr.zakir naik page if you put his fan club link or link to his selling materials its ok but if you put any link which is critical against his view it is not ok what kind of regulation this is!.In wikipedia every kind of view should provided to its user. It will increase the acceptablity and popularity of wikipedia I suggest you please visit opus Deiin this site you will find that in the External links both kind of Sites supporting Opus Dei and Sites critical of Opus Dei are included so why editing Dr.zakir naiks biography should be different!!!!. If editing muslim or Islam relating articles need to follow different kinds of rules Please informed me . —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dhanmondi (talk • contribs) 06:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

It is not about having a balance. You are posting the same website on a dozen of articles which is unacceptable as it is considered spamming. If it was concerning one specific article it would have been another case. Please read WP:EL and WP:SPAM carefully. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 10:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The LTTE article is not based on good sources

Hi, I am trying to get some interest to the article about LTTE. The problem is that part of the article is not based on good sources and/or the sources are used for more than what they actually state when you read them. I have tried to work it out on the article's discussion page, alas in vain - as it in my opinion more or less has been taken over by one side in the conflict.

I have also posted a message about it on the Village pump and I have placed a 100 USD bounty for anyone who put in some serious work on it. I passed by your userpage and thought I may give you a word about it as well. My critic of the current state of the article can be read on it's discussion page. Ulflarsen 09:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ulflarsen. I'll deal w/ that w/in 24h. You can refer to Chemical weapons in the Rif War to have an idea about how to use good sources especially for big claims. I'll come back to you very soon. Cheers. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 09:41, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for using time on this article. I do hope your comments can have some impact. Best regards! Ulflarsen 09:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my RFA, which passed with 53-1-0. I will put myself into the various tasks of a administrator immediately, and if I make any mistakes, feel free to shout at me or smack me in my head. Aquarius • talk 17:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (presumably) Jean-Claude Ducasse again

Is 31 hours [1] the standard blocking time for horrific personal attacks from a user? This one really is unbelievable: [2] (even with my terrible French it looks bad), against his son Fabrice. nadav 21:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll w/ the case tomorrow Nadav. No worries. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 01:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Sabah Al Khair, Fayssalf, I see you speak Arabic. Please, Look at www. alwatan.com and see the type of person that jean-Claude continually slanders in his posts. Sh. Ali Khalifa Al-Sabah has been one of the powers for democratization and women's rights in Kuwait. While that has bought some enemies, it also means that the propensity of info about him is very positive (Kuwait has woman's suffrage now.) It would seem to me that people would notice from jean_claude's posts what our problem is. While JCD paints this problem as one where his children (and the members of his board) has backed MDSAmerica. In actuality it is MDSA (the largest investor) that has supported his children and board members in trying to bring some sort of sanity to MDSI. 09:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To Fayssalf

Remember Mr Faysall you edit yourself lies in the talk of MDSAmerica against Myself when you said in French that I said you and this are what you said on this Talk Pages. This are easy to you to remove the evidences of your lies to help fabrice and MDSAmerica but fortunately and Daily the bailliff make copies of your pages. About Sh. Ali Khalifa Al-Sabah has been one of the powers for democratization and women's please look the CIAO Report the European Parlament reports the Llyods case with KOTC agains the Gentleme this are not from reliable sources Look also Irak Al Fawares withe the AlSAbah newspaper problems But You lie in talk pages when you said in French what you said against us §

[edit] Explain to me Why you do this ?

I just see this in your pages by a link from MDSAmerica to your site:

Please review my comment. I think you were a bit too quick to act on MiFeinberg's word alone. --  Netsnipe  ►  19:02, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MDS international

Bonjour, un investisseur arabe (Sh Ali khalifah al Sabah) a investit 3 millions de $ dans MDSi il y a quelques années. Un jour il a demandé à voir les comptes de la société. Comme nous avons refusé que cet arabe prétentieux se mêle de nos affaires, celui-ci a décidé de nous faire un procès aux USA. Maintenant, ils veulent mettre la décision de justice à notre encontre sur le site MDS international de Wikipedia et nous ne sommes pas d'accord.

L'investisseur est également propriétaire de la société MDS america. Toutes ces personnes sont recherché par la CIA et la DST pour meurtres et détournement de fons.

Concernant le logiciel Xingtech que le site xingtech.info nous accuse d'avoir piraté, nous n'avons fait que changer le nom pour le commercialiser sous notre nom. Comme nous sommes une société française, les américains ne viendrons pas nous chercher et nous poursuivre. --Jeanclauduc 19:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


WHY DO YOU MAKE THIS FALSE MESSAGE FROM MDSINTERNATIONAL ? YOU ARE PAID FOR THIS ? THIS SMELL AGAIN FABRICE DUCASSE SAME THE FALSE XINGTECH WEB SITE! Do you think that we are not so stupid to said ourselves false things ? do you know that we have a mosquee inside our factory for the use of our visitors staying in MDSi for the training ( technicians From Emirates Saudi Arabia, Lybia ? do you need contacts with this visitors and MDSi clients to know what we are ?) we nevers said any judgment to any same I can read on your pages ! I can said about fabrice my son what I said all of the story are producted by the Mind of fabrice and MDSamerica and others sons are so stupid to follow the lies ! 89.224.154.130 18:54, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Rebonjour Jean Claude. Merci pour tes clarifications. Maintenant, pour mieux saisir, je veux bien préciser quelques points:
  • Qu'est ce que vous voulez exactement? Ne pas avoir un article sur votre sociéte sur Wikipedia ou bien seulement ne pas mentioner votre litige avec MDS America?
  • Qu'est ce vous voulez dire par nous n'avons fait que changer le nom pour le commercialiser sous notre nom? Est ce bien votre propre logiciel (votre propre cuisine) ou pas?
  • Pourquoi pensez vous que User:WizardOfWor et User:76.109.17.236 sont bien Kirk Kirkpatrick?
En attendant vos clarifications, je suis entrain de consulter un de nos experts en ce genre de conflits ici à Wikipedia.
P.S. Prière noter que nous sommes ici pour résoudre ce problème pour le bien de tous. N'hésitez pas donc de me consulter à n'importe quel moment. Cordialement. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 13:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC
Bonjour Jean-Claude. Pourriez-vous répondre aux autres questions de FayssalF? Est-ce que vous préférez ne pas avoir d'article au sujet de MDSI sur Wikipedia?
Peut-être vous pourrez rendre clair cette phrase, sur le logiciel Xingtech,

..nous n'avons fait que changer le nom pour le commercialiser sous notre nom. Comme nous sommes une société française, les américains ne viendrons pas nous chercher et nous poursuivre.

Est-ce légal en Amérique, faire comme ça?
Mais il faut que vous nous indiquiez si vous ne voulez pas d'articles du tout, ou s'il reste des erreurs en ce moment. EdJohnston 15:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
je ne suis jamais allé sur cette Talk page et je ne lis vos questions que aujourd'hui ! je n'ai au grand jamais écrit et signé la déclaration insultante concernant S Ali et déclaré que javais volé un logiciel ce genre de dossier ets comme clui de MiChAlonz ou de Xingtech.info ou de Greg Kenny ce sont systematiquement des faux fabriqués par User:WizardOfWor et User:76.109.17.236 qui sont le mêmes personnages Harold Kirpatrick et Fabrice Ducasse qui depuis la France transite par le serveur de MDSAmerica! si vous suivez par Ip adress.com vous arrivez a Palm city et a Stuart c'est la qu'ils habitent et ont leur bureaux. si je signe avec mon adresse de création JeanClauduc89.224.154.130 14:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC) voyez ce n'est pas JeanClauduc qui apparait........
Voila je suis maintnant sur le serveur et l'adresse IP ou j'ai créé jeanClauduc je vais signer et vous verrez que ce n'est pas jeanClauduc qui apparait en signature 83.206.63.250 14:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
par conséquent aux environs de la date ou vous avez recu ce message sous mon nom c'est bien que quelqu'un s'est aproprié le compte vu la teneur ce ne peut etre que Fabrice Ducasse et Kirpatrick WizarofWor qui est un fameux hacker 83.206.63.250 14:19, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Then use your main registered account User:Jeanclauduc because IPs can't edit anymore. I don't care to whom belongs the IP now as it is forbidden to IPs to edit those 2 articles. Use your registered account. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 18:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

FayssalF, does this make sense to you? "another IP adress than 83.206.63.250 use jeanClauduc"? Then he posts information about me? What does my IP address have to do with him using his named account?
And this "I have only two adresses one when I start JEANCLAUDUC IS STILL THE SAME TODAY 83.206.63.250 ANOTHER WHEN I TRAVEL 89.224.154.130" is not true, obviously since he signed this one as 89.224.134.181. (I am guessing that his seaside house in La Clape has a dynamic IP address). there have been several posts from other IP Addresses that are Jeancluduc. This issue will never be solved if Jeanclauduc refuses to be truthful. WizardOfWor 13:32, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I think we made it clear that IP stories have been classified otherwise we'll not be moving forward. Only registered users can edit the two articles and their talk pages. So, let's not bring past history to the scene again. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 16:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] adding www.torahforme.com link to Maimonidies article

Re: No big deals. I only have one concern. I am not an expert so if it is not directly related to Maimonides than please don't insert it. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 13:05, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

The site has classes and oral reading of Maimonidies works, (so it is directly related) but doesn't have subpages, so it is impossible to tailor the URL to the relevant subpage - however anyone who comes to that page will see the classes and oral readings of Maimonidies text at first glance, is it still ok to post the link? Thank you Samson Ben-Manoach 01:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

In this case it would be difficult to be approved as it would be in contradiction w/ some clauses at WP:EL. However, you can try to get some other opinions from people who may know better than i do in terms of the Torah. Try to leave a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 01:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

While I don't condone physical threats, your timing on this is not very considerate. He wrote the threat on the 2nd, and it wasn't reported until the 15th. On top of that, the Arbitration was opened on the 13th, therefore your block may effectively prevent him from presenting any evidence.

[edit] Ice Cube

Hey, you know about the facts in Ice Cube which i removed? I do it because it has happened same thing in Snoop Dogg, Nas, 50 Cent and i wanna have same way in Ice Cube too. Because the things are already written on the Ice Cube discography and i want that same way like Jay-Z, Nas and even Snoop Dogg has it. That's my reason to removing them and i told Mel Etetis about that. Football 7 14:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, fair enough. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 14:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] KAC

I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I need someone to check my article King Armored Car to see if it could be raised to Start-Class Status. I noticed that you were the one who put the notice up on the talk page for the article, so I was wondering if you could check it out; it would be unethical for me to do it. --MKnight9989 14:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

No worries. Well, let's go step by step according to the "Start" critereon:
  1. The article has a meaningful amount of good content? --> Yes. It talks about who used it first. Where, etc...
  2. But it is still weak in many areas. --> True. Referencing. Only one reference is used. We need more. It needs a {{Infobox Weapon}}.
  3. it has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
  • A particularly useful picture or graphic. ---> Yes.
  • Multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic. --> Not enough.
  • A subheading that fully treats an element of the topic. --> Nope.
  • Multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article. --> Nope.
In brief, it should look somehow like this article. Just make a small effort and you could reach the "Start" quality. Cheers. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 15:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ice Cube

sorry i meant do not edit the Ice Cube discography but the main page Ice Cube. So keep the album covers etc... there! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Football 7 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Ice Cube

I'm a bit surprised to see you reverting perfectly correct edits to this article, which included removing copyright-violating images and bringing it into line with the WikiProjext and the MoS. What happened? --Mel Etitis (Talk) 21:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mel, i thought it was something to do w/ vandalism when i had spotted a large amount of edits being removed and a table deconstructed. I can't know what's going on the wikiproject you are referring to. I also had no idea that images copyright problems were at play. Please read my convo w/ Football 7 after he explained to me what he's been doing. I hope it is clear. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 23:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The situation with regard to fair-use images of album covers, etc., is that they can be used only in articles on the albums, etc., not to illustrate articles on people, to pretty up discographies, etc. (in such cases they're simply copyvios). With regard to tables, the Music WikiProjects (and the MoS) use bulleted lists for things like track listings; there's a large number of editors whose interest (to put it mildly) is popular music of one kind or another, and who want to add every available bell and whistle to articles in that area, and who have no knowledge of or interest in Wikipedia style, guidelines or policy. They want everything to be in complex, often multi-coloured, tables, cramming in information that belongs (if anywhere) in doscographies or articles on the releases themselves.

Football7 saw their work, and took it to be the standard, correct way of doing things; unlike most, when his edits were reverted and he discovered the true situation he adopted the correct approach — which is why having his edits reverted in the opposite direction must have been an unpleasant surprise for him. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 08:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree w/ you and F7. I had already understood what s/he was doing and that is fair enough. I'm keeping an eye on similar articles anyway. Cheers. FayssalF - Wiki me up® 10:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Beer battery

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Beer battery, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Dicklyon 01:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dick. Thanks for the notice. I am not sure if you have had a look at this interesting reference at HowStuffWorks as well as the informative BBC article about Foster's beer.

[edit] Talk:Duraiappa stadium mass grave

Request I made mistake that assuming, I am “Reverting to PaladinWhite version” of this[5],I wrongly reverted to this[6]. Please unlock or revert to what I intended.Lustead 12:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Request rejected - I understand that it was a mistake but i am sorry. We have to understand that "Protection is not an endorsement of the current version". Editors should not ask for a specific version of a page to be protected or, if it has already been protected, reverted to a different version. Instead, editors should attempt to resolve the dispute. Please refer to Wikipedia:Protection policy#Content disputes for more details.
To further explain my desicion i'd invite you to read this. You'd also find a label about the "wrong version" at the bottom of my userpage. Please try to communicate and resolve the dispute as i haven't seen any comment from anyone since the page was protected 2 days ago. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 12:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I brought to the Administration's attention to involve in resolving the issue based on this edit. But I made mistake leaving the subcategory Mass grave out and I believe that that S.Category well fit for that. I never expected you would ptotect the Page either. So I had to express my opinion which I originally intended. Now I cleared the contradictary statement in the Edit Summary and the Edit actually I did on the Page.Lustead 14:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice on improving my edits

"Blocking Jeanclauduc indef would not fix the problem as we have the COI stuff going on here w/ employees of a company are editing many related topics.-- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 12:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)"

I've been working on understanding Wikipedia policies and have been trying to ensure that any edits I do have been both fully COI-disclosed and properly NPOV. I've also talked to all the MDSA people that have been doing edits. I'm not the boss so I can't order them, but I thought that there was good improvement.

Obviously, from your comments, I see that you are still concerned about some of the edits by myself or my co-workers. Do you think you could make some suggestions or identify article edits you feel are inappropriate?

Thanks. Bhimaji 13:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bhimaji and your efforts are appreciated. I have one major concern and it is related to WP:COI. If we read through the policy we'd find the following:

Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit," but if you have a conflict of interest avoid, or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors...

If you are involved in a court case, or close to one of the litigants, you would find it very hard to demonstrate that what you wrote about a party or a law firm associated with the case, or a related area of law, was entirely objective. Even a minor slip up in neutrality in a court-case article on Wikipedia for an active case-in-progress could potentially be noticed by the courts and/or their parties, and this could potentially cause real-world harm, not just harm to Wikipedia. Because of this, we strongly discourage editing when this type of conflict exists.

So that is my main concern and i am talking about all editors in direct relation w/ the subjects on hand. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 13:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I just double checked with the CEO, and he confirmed to me that there are no ongoing court cases. The court case between MDSi and MDSA ended in a sealed agreement (I have not seen the agreement, or any other non-public legal documents). At some point after the agreement, MDSA went back to the judge and requested sanctions because we felt that MDSi was not fulfilling their part of the agreement. The judge issued a public ruling, finding MDSi in contempt of court. There are no pending court proceedings of any kind between MDSi and MDSA in any country. I am most definitely aware of the risks of irritating judges during proceedings, which is why I avoid commenting on them.
Regarding the generic WP:COI issues, I understand your concern and that is one of the reasons that I have been minimizing my edits and trying to focus on putting information into the talk pages that can assist others in writing appropriate articles. If you wish, I could add a disclosure at the top of the talk page, referencing the accounts that I know are MDSA employees, so new people joining the discussion can take that into account.Bhimaji 20:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Sent you an email, hoping to calm things down short of a full Arbcom case. EdJohnston 19:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Bhimaji itself said "I am only a new MDSA employee" the case for stole and Breach of Trust are not against MDSA but against fabrice Ducasse MDSA Product manager; if the French court need to expand the case also to Peter Blond of MDSA the sponsor of Fabrice Ducasse or to another guy after running investigations this are court decision but today MDSA business are MDSI Breach of Trust based.This are only for information of right facts not to launch anymore, if admin need to know the right this are easy to send an email to the Gov accountant of MDSi SwordScales 05:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Ducasse:

I regret the confusion. We operated on the basis of the information supplied by our member company (now no longer a member). If you would like to take steps to correct the record that is fine with us. We have no plans to repeat any statements, and have no indication that anyone really cares about past statements. If they have damaged you let's think of a reasonable way to put out additional information.

We are hearing very little about that band now, and are fully occupied in planning for our industry's big convention in two weeks -- 144 speakers. We encourage you to consider become active in WCA or attending, and look forward to serving your interest in those ways.

[edit] Your recent block of 76.109.17.236

Please look more carefully at the logs and edit history. The refactored comment was one that this person posted, but when connected to the wrong network. He changed the posting IP because he wanted to avoid confusion. If you look here: [8] you can see that he has signed his comments with his primary IP when he's been using his other IP address. I've suggested to him that he would be better off registering, but I can't force him to.

Given that the offense happened 11 days ago, I'm surprised that the block is happening now, and is for 73 hours, as opposed to the block of 31 hours for User_talk:83.206.63.250, who has written extremely distasteful and insulting material. Can you explain your reasoning? Bhimaji 20:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll be unblocking him even if it would not make any sense. He is obliged to get registered now as all pages are locked. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 22:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I appreciate your willingness to admit to mistakes. I must admit, however, that I am still confused about a 3 day block for an 11 day old transgression that was warned about and not repeated. Bhimaji 22:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Everything is well explained at the talk pages Bhimaji. There's a new situation now and also because of two reasons: Everybody has been informed by the situation at the ANI lately and the revert happened today and not 3 days ago. The problem itself was the fact of removing a request (there weren't warning) from his talk page w/o explaining to folks why he's changed IP numbers. Co-editors have the right to know but instead of knowing they have been reverted. So that is the main reason. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 22:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fadesa.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fadesa.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 20:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Fadesa.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fadesa.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 {{non-free fair use in|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 20:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 20:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

hey fayssaif,

thanks for standing up for an IP today at ANI. we IPs have a really tough time here. the user david shankbone has been levelling all sorts of personal attacks toward me (most often a "vandal"). i assure you, i have never vandalized anything here. i don't think there's really anything that can be done at it, no one has ever been blocked for calling someone a vandal, especially an IP, but i wanted to say thanks anyway.

Hello, you have protected the above page, yeas it is good. There seems to be consensus herethat atleast it should have a category of mass grave and Sri Lankan Tamil history.

Thanks Taprobanus 21:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Posted to the ANI

[edit] Why people leave Wikipedia

  • I have over 1,000 photographs on Wikipedia; one photo of an Afro really means little to me. But the IP above tried to replace it with someone wearing a wig -- and I wasn't even the editor who called them out on it. The IP, in all its incarnations, has found nobody to support them in their trolling and vandalizing. They have been reverted in 90% of their edits. One need only look at the histories and Talk pages (and, especially, talk page edit summaries since they delete most comments) to see. If others want to put up the Lauryn Hill on the Afro page, go for it. But a blurry photo of a kid wearing an afro wig? That's User:71.112.142.5, AKA User:71.112.7.212, AKA User: 71.112.6.35 (and, probably, soon User:71.112._.__ idea of a better photo. I'm not sure why a celebrity photo (and I have generated the most celebrity photos on Wikipedia) need replace a decent one of a good afro, but if others want to do so, I won't revert. But it's a shame that a troll and vandal would inspire a change--what's that say about the Wikipedia community? I'm nearing the end of my contributions on the site anyway; mainly for the "shoot the people who show dedication" attitude on here, that has caused many editors to leave. Thanks for the apology FayssalF, but in the end, I'm an accomplished editor and you rushed to the defense of an IP who only likes to toy with those who have strived to build a good encyclopedia. No wonder so many of us leave. I'll be going soon; I've given it a good bit of thought--it's ANIs like these, where others let the IPs get the upper hand instead of those of us with pretty big accomplishments, win out. Remember, the less we stick up for those with experience who have put countless hours and creativity into the site, the more you'll be stuck with people like this IP and less with people like me. I've given enough. I'll be finishing up some work on here, but my contributions will be limited and then cease. --David Shankbone 06:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Once again, he's calling me a "vandal", but has not even once provided a diff and never will (unless someone in my neighborhood happens to use wiki and get my IP, which is very unlikely). Replacing a photo is not vandalism. The photo that he says is a "wig" is not a wig. It's actually a better afro photo, thought not ideal.

I want to say thanks again for looking into the facts and standing up for an anon user.

Hi there; you have given this user an indefblock as vandalism only.

The user is asking for unblock which, of course, I have not done. But I would be most grateful for an elaboration of your reasons.--Anthony.bradbury 09:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Anthony. It has nothing to do w/ censorship or otherwise i'd be blocking everyone edition nudity-related subjects. We've been having a lot of disruption cases (see Woman's talk page history where pubic hair is not the subject of the article) and image-related problems lately (please have a look at the actual and related AN/I threads). We can't tolerate that. There has to be a limit by applying WP:IAR especially in smelly sockpuppetry and WP:POINT cases. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 16:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. Probably my fault but I don't understand your comment with respect to actual dispute. Please take a look at this diff [10]. Some hold that those sourced material have no place anywhere in that article. That's what the main dispute is about. I've created a section on "Banu Qurayza" in literature which I think can contain those stuff. In the diff I provided above another minor dispute is about usage of the word "justified" which I believe is POV but it keeps reverted. Cheers, --Aminz 01:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I hope not to come to your talk page with troubles only. But did I do the righ thing here. Am I follwing protocols or should I be doing something elese ? Thanks Taprobanus 12:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, the only thing that you did wrong i suppose is that you posted it as incident at the AN/I. AFAIK, there is a content dispute going on. I believe admins would ask you to refer to the WP:DR process. Maybe some admins would ask you to back up your report by differences (evidences) as you are accusing others of vandalism. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 12:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Thank you brother for your prompt reply, as you have protected Duraiappa stadium mass grave, it is forcing people to talk who otherwise keep reverting without discussion. I have even started a straw poll section according to WP:DR on that. In the Chemmani mass grave article we have taken it to mediation WP:RFM, let's see the parties agree or not, if not we will take to WP:RFA. On Sri Lankan Tamils (native) and the list of Tamils articles I think we need protection before the parties (the same group) will be forced to talk, otherwise it will be a back and forth reverting. Just my opinion. Thanks Taprobanus 12:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
While going thru the pages history i noticed that you are calling other contributors vandals. Please do not do that again. If you are not sure about it, please read WP:VANDAL. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 12:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately the problem is not the language. He says:

How do we know that the author of the site has the copyright on the images? - Francis Tyers · 14:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC) and I could scan some images out of a magazine, put them on a personal site on the internet, claim they are under the GPL and then upload them to Wikipedia. That would be a copyright violation.

French firm wins E-Vision wireless deal MDS of France has won the mandate to install a "wireless" cable transmission solution for ETISALAT's E-Vision subsidiary. Work on the contract, awarded in July, has already started in Al Ain and should be completed in the third quarter itself, confirmed a top official. E-Vision plans to launch its services over the wireless platform in Al Ain during the fourth quarter, and in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah by early next year. The northern emirates will be brought into the network towards end 2003. MDS edged out the claims of seven other contenders in the bid for the major contract. The value of the deal was not revealed. ETISALAT is responsible for the network and providing the technology. The investments are also made by it."

The official added that there will be no revision in the service offering for users receiving content through wireless. Packages will start at Dh50. E-Vision expects to close this year with cable ready homes of 200,000. If Al Ain gets connected as scheduled, the numbers could swell to 250,000 units. As of now, it is just under 170,000. Already, E-Vision has managed to have 70 per cent plus coverage in Abu Dhabi, and is close to doing so in Dubai. The upgrades on its infrastructure will also come in handy for the planned launch of the pay-per-view services. (The Gulf News) SwordScales 15:49, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coaching

Hi FayssalF,

I saw your name on the coaching page and decided to ask if you are still interested in taking on students. I do not necessarily want to become an administrator, but I would really value your advice. I have been interested in WP for a little more than a year, but my schedule did not allow me to spend much time learning about the community. Starting at the end of this month, I will finally have some free time. My goals are 1)to figure out (given my particular interests, strengths, and weaknesses) how to be as productive as possible here; 2) to find some friends (not necessarily in that order.) What do you think?

Best regards,

Cyrusc 18:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cyrusc. Thanks for your interest and initiative. I've had a look at your contributions and found many fine edits. Most of your edits have been related to politics and religion but i see other interests at your userpage. Interesting.
Well, as a start, i'd just signal to you that contributing to Wikipedia can be classified into 2 main things;" Article space" and "WikiSpace". I'd recommend, for the time being, that you concentrate on editing article until you get yourselves familiarized w/ that before delving into collaborating in Wikipedia:Wikiprojects or other Wikipedia's back office tasks.
In parallel, i'd recommend that you have a look Wikipedia core policies and guidelines. A good understanding of those pillars of Wikipedia is very important and essential. (Wikipedia:List of policies, Wikipedia:List of guidelines).
I'll be waiting for your next message once you've done w/ the above. At that time we can move on. Good luck. Don't hesitate to email me in case you don't want your message to be public. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 19:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guidance request

Hello again FayssalF, hope all is well. I have been paying a bit of attention to articles associated with 'race', 'colour' and ethnicity. I have attempted to suggest on the Black people talk page recently, for example. My position is that distinctions, classifications and races of human beings are an almost completely meaningless one; identification of individuals and communities is subjective terminology. We are all so closely related that any categorization is too general to be useful. It may be an elective process that leads people to identify themselves in this way; it has also been used to classify 'otherness' in a society or nation. This may have been for good or ill, but it needs qualification and identification. In many pages of our document, there is use of this vague term as if it something more absolute; a classification with a discernible characteristic other than a shared belief. I believe this view is incorrect and this is supported by nearly all references on the subject, at least those written in the last century. You may agree or not, I am pointing this out to give some background should you act on the following request. If you have some time, and feel so inclined, could you review me as an editor and community member. I do know a couple of other very experienced editors, but I'm asking you because I don't - so please be candid (I know you will be nice :-) Regards, ☻ Fred|☝ discussion|✍ contributions 03:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll deal w/ that tomorrow. I've just sent you an email. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 04:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SHA-1

While looking at the category for Wikipedians with committed identities, I realized that you are using a SHA-1 hash. While SHA1 hashes are relatively secure, it is possible for them to be hacked. I advise that you try a SHA-512 hash. A calculator for SHA512 can be found here,[[13]]. While not required, this would further add to the seecurity of your account. Thank you for keeping Wikipedia safe. Remember to use a strong password!! - Hairchrm 02:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the "welcome"

Hi,

I would like to thank you for the nice welcome, and I hope we'll collaborate in articles about Morocco.

You certainly know Bigg, the famous Moroccan rapper. I wrotean article about it in French Wikipedia, and I would like to translate it into English. Unfortunately, an article named Bigg already exists. What title can I use to my article ?

Take care Spy-jones 15:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you read my question ? I'm still waiting a response. What title can I use to my article about Bigg, the Moroccan rapper ? Sincerely . Spy-jones 23:14, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I nominated my article Tompkins Square Park Police Riot for FA status

From the nomination page:
(self-nomination)This article is simply excellent. Excellent writing, interesting subject matter, improved during its Good Article trial, and eye-witnesses have left notes on the Talk page that talk about the article being so accurate, it's like they were living it all over again. Written in a NPOV and heavily cited with the highest of sources, it includes GFDL media, is wikified to the fullest, a fantastic "See Also" section, and looks at the story from every angle. --David Shankbone 18:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LTTE-Sinhalese stuff

Hi Fayssal. I know that protection isn't an endorsement of the content, but I must say I am a bit depressed that stuff sourced from random blogs, tripod websites, google videos and partisan sources will be on display for seven days....As for discussing, I did put explanations in the edit summaries, and certainly am not a single topic editor (Tamil or Sinhalese) wrt this dispute. Thanks, Blnguyen (cranky admin anniversary) 03:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Blnguyen and happy birthday. I really dislike protecting when edit warring occurs but would people discuss while articles are free to be edited? I doubt that. I invite all parties to join discussions even at the AN/I (due to the nature of the conflict) in order to get more feedback. This issue of LTTE-Sinhalese has to be sorted out and i'll be commenting at the AN/I as well. Cheers. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 16:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I will take it through wikipedia process (first ANIhere) the process of elimination of RS sources from many of the articles that I created by this above admin which shows a pattern . Thanks Taprobanus 13:17, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Un jour il a demandé à voir les comptes de la société. Comme nous avons refusé que cet arabe prétentieux se mêle de nos affaires, celui-ci a décidé de nous faire un procès aux USA. Maintenant, ils veulent mettre la décision de justice à notre encontre sur le site MDS international de Wikipedia et nous ne sommes pas d'accord. L'investisseur est également propriétaire de la société MDS america. Toutes ces personnes sont recherché par la CIA et la DST pour meurtres et détournement de fons. Concernant le logiciel Xingtech que le site xingtech.info nous accuse d'avoir piraté, nous n'avons fait que changer le nom pour le commercialiser sous notre nom.

Ex-Kuwaiti minister grilled on graft‎ Mon, 28 May 2007 11:49:16

Kuwait's former oil and finance minister Sheikh Ali al-Khalifa al-Sabah ‎ Kuwait's former oil and finance minister Sheikh Ali al-Khalifa al-Sabah has been interrogated over a multi-million-dollar graft case.

A Kuwaiti newspaper reported on Sunday that Sheikh Ali, who was a minister in the 1980s and early 1990s, was questioned on Saturday for the second time by a special three-judge tribunal over his suspected role in the embezzlement.

The next session is to take place on Monday, said Al-Watan daily, which is owned by Sheikh Ali.

The tribunal aims to establish if the accusations against Sheikh Ali, filed by the government in 2001, are serious enough to press charges before a special court.

Sheikh Ali and four former top executives of state-owned Kuwait Oil Tanker Co. (KOTC) are accused of amassing illegal profits by creating paper companies and leasing oil tankers, causing losses of more than $100 million.

The government has also filed a second lawsuit against Sheikh Ali for failing to protect public funds when he was finance minister during the early 1980s.

Sheikh Ali has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, insisting the charges against him are politically motivated.

According to Al-Watan, Sheikh Ali attended the interrogation to "prove his innocence regarding accusations in the KOTC case."

The case has generated public attention for the past 14 years, with parliament holding several heated debates and opposition MPs pressing the government to apply the law.

The case was, however, dismissed on two occasions by the Kuwaiti judiciary over procedural flaws before the latest lawsuit was filed.

I has asked admins to remove peronal information about me out. Now it has been brought back out. I want to know what is the wikiprocess to first eliminate this information second what is the repurcussions for someone publishing such information. see here.Thanks Taprobanus 18:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

More work for you. is this acceptable he has accused number of people including me of being sock puppets.

Thanks Taprobanus 00:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

He has accused me on being a banned user even in the AFD. He has said Above user could well be the banned User Elalan (talk · contribs). Has similar interests, similar writing skills,similar hatred towards Sri Lanka,see this tirade. And most importantly his liking for letter b is amazing. Remember Elalan's sock-puppeteer Trincoman (talk · contribs) also has a b at the end of his name.ThanksIwazaki 会話。討論 13:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC) I have taken him to ANI allready and he continues to do this.

For being BOLD without getting BOWLED on Sri Lankan issues :) --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ walkie-talkie

[edit] Faysal ,

My good Moroccan friend, Was it about the message i posted at steels talk page ? It was merely because he was the one who blocked that user in the first place, hence i thought things will be easier if he can get involve in this again.My friend, please take a look at the contributions of some of those users. From the very first day they know how to vote in AFD's , they know how to post at ANI, and so on, unthinkable for new users !! Have you seen those barnstars, given to people who have done absolutely nothing other than helping that tamil nation/net journalist to push POV and evade 3RR rules ? Wikipedia is been used for cheap propaganda by some elements, and I don't think we should allow that ?

Plus, there are more pathetic sock puppeteers who are disrupting Wikipedia and If I am not busy I would have filed more cases already(i am planning to do them when i ).Take user Lustead for an example, having read his contributions and the way he write(now i sure he is not Elalan, but there is no doubt about watchdogb), I have absolutely no doubt that he is none other than User Rajasingham, whom you blocked and later unblocked due to his various acts. And he is now hiding under a new name, trying to deceive everyone. And people who have exchanged wiki passwords and may have edited using his account are now giving him barnstars!!! I trust Wikipedia and I hope one day all these vandals and disruptive sock puppets vanish for good, with the help of good Wikipedians like you. Many thanks.Iwazaki 会話。討論 07:53, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
