[edit] Talk:Hamid Dabashi

Hello Flammingo! Due to the personal attacks and the "edit wars" during my attempts at wikifying the article, by multiple "exclusive" users, I had taken a break from editing the article. I thank you for your efforts, which were also reverted, and would like to receive more feedback on the talk page with possible suggestions to its remaining issues (I had already transferred it from a quote collection into an article). Hamid Dabashi is a respected scholar and it is somewhat surprising and even troubling that there is so much vanity around him, which could hurt his reputation. Thank you and best regards, gidonb 15:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was going catfixing, and don't know him; there seems to be a problem with the adding of categories, so I may have poked a sleeping dragon, however, I found the article interesting, not at all as "promoting" as the talk page suggests. --Flammingo^Hey 07:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The article could use more balance, and definitely there is place to delete the cats which you deleted and get added time and again. I did not know Dabashi until I cleaned up the root of Category:Social scientists and the cat got re-added right away. gidonb 10:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Flammingo! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

[edit] Postmodenrism article

Hi- I noticed you contributed to the postmodernism article/ discussion. I'm new to the whole Wiki community, but have a questions about one of the entries. I searched an archived copy of the Hibbert Journal and found no evidence to support the claim made in the PostModernism Intro that "The term was used as early as 1914 in an article in The Hibbert Journal written by J.M.Thompson." (J.M.Thompson, The Hibbert Journal Vol XII No.4 July 1914 p.733). Do you know who made that addition or how to contact that user? Thanks for your time Mahinm (talk) 19:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

It's been in there for a long time (~3 years), so unless you want to go through the entire article history, no, there is no other way to find that person. If you have anything on the matter (ie. first definition of the term in the article's sense), WP:Be bold and go ahead!--Flammingo^Hey 09:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
