[edit] World government

Gabriel,

Why did you ask for references?

The only information that i am uncomfortable with is the Soviet Union. I agree that a search for references would be great to improve that part.

That muslims and christians try to convert all humans seems to me like an established fact. It could be argued wether a relgion can be seen as a sort of world government.

In case of the Nazis, the plan was to turn Berlin into a world capital and the Germans were trying to conquer all during World War II. What is the need of a reference in that case? It seems obvious to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daanschr (talk • contribs) 09:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

No harm intented. World government is a tricky subject. Any number of "enemies" have been accused of aspiring for world domination. Each of these four examples should only be presented when there is a reliable source that speaks on behalf of the interested party, and not only as some "truth" construed by others. A very good fifth example of a construed accusation is The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. You might agree that it hardly deserves mentioning in the article. In the christian context the Great Commission may come closest to world government. Is there a representative of that link anywhere? It would be interesting to know. In the muslim context shahadah may be the closest but I hardly beleive world government has been within the teaching of any muslim congregation. Can you prove me wrong? It would likewise be historically interesting to see your source on the nazi allegation. Nazi is nowadays the most commonly used term of derision. Wikipedia should stay well clear of that.

I guess that our dissagreement is based on a different philosophy. I try to refer to the practise of world government, instead of only the intention. You seem to want sources on the will to specificly wanting a world government. I don't mind if the article puts the intention first, so we could revert my edits. I have nothing to do with any of the ideologies portrayed, since i regard myself as a social-democrat, which is an ideology which has no outspoken desire to start a world government. Social democrats try to build up a harmonious society where people help eachother in a peacefull way and where people are allowed to think and say whatever they like as long as they respect the moderate laws. It could be applied worldwide, but it could be applied regionally as well.Daanschr (talk) 10:02, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

I'm confused as to why you marked this edit as vandalism. From the reference: "On sea levels, the report projects rises of 7 to 23 inches by the end of the century. An additional 3.9 to 7.8 inches are possible if recent, surprising melting of polar ice sheets continues." Therefore, 4-8 is accurate whereas 4-5 is not. I don't see why you would've marked this that way. Oren0 (talk) 17:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. My bad. Gabriel Kielland (talk) 20:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Gabriel, I made the edit under sustainability I was adding a company/ organization. I'm a wiki member I didn't make the edit under my log in however it wasn't vandalism. I'm not sure you understand vandalism. Please don't take offense to what I'm saying. I will make the changes under my wiki account but it wasn't vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.60.124 (talk) 16:40, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

You entered a link to HUGS Healing US Sustainably Globally which is still empty. Also there is zero Google hits on "Healing US Sustainably Globally". If it is not vandalism, what is it? Gabriel Kielland (talk) 22:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
