[edit] bill ayers

I had a long discussion with Wikidemo about that edit. It was extremely watered down from its original form, it was sourced and it was informative. First it tells the reader what ayers is doing presently. It then says what the organization represents, I am surprised by the way that you find the word leftist non-neutral. I know there are some of you who don’t believe in “labels” and think being called a liberal is a dirty word but that exists in your own mind. The Nolan chart is a tool recognized in political science and certain philoisphies do fall under a “label”. The woods fund is a leftist organization, so it believes in things advocated by the liberals, like ending the war in iraq or having socialized medicare, debatable issues, and regardless of what side of the aisle you are in, it is not slanderous to have the ideology of liberalism associated with a persons biography. Your watered down version even takes away what the organization stands for, william ayers I believe would be proud of his beliefs and for you to suggest they are slanderous to a persons biography truly puzzles me.

The obama mention serves the purpose of promoting the prestige of the woods fund. To say who a person worked with, especially prominent people is also not slanderous or part of attack politics. My information was sourced, and the article I used had some truly slanderous things on obama which was not put in this article.

Please stop with this over protection of obama and the charge of non-neutrality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.90.42 (talk) 23:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hello, Hurmata! I see your edits all over the place and wanted to thank you for your contributions, especially in the area of African languages and linguistics. I also thought you might be interested in the Africa-related regional notice board; and probably in WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias (and its linguistic department WP:LPOV) too.

Happy editing, and see you around, — mark ✎ 08:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please check Talk:Arabic influence on the Spanish language‎

Not much more to add. Have a nice day Drmaik 06:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

• Hello Hurmata. Do you need help with something? --KFP (talk | contribs) 00:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The e-mail address you have set for your Wikipedia account is not shown to other users. Also, if you uncheck the "enable e-mail from other users" box in your preferences, other people will not be able to send you mail using Wikipedia's "E-mail this user" function. I think you can safely nominate the article for deletion while logged in. However, if you still want to do it while not logged in, let me know. --KFP (talk | contribs) 01:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Mauldin

You might want to review your reasons for nominating this article for deletion, since the fact that he's sent you spam is neither here nor there in terms of whether he should have an article on Wikipedia. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I've responded on my Talk page, which is probably the best place to keep this discussion since it's already quite long. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 21:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of Portugal

Hi. Discussion is mostly the best way to resolve disagreements over editing. In this case it may be difficult to get in contact with the editor in question as he/she is editing anonymously, but Talk:History of Portugal is a good place to post concerns (as you already did). An alternative place is the IP's talk page at User talk:213.22.20.21 but messages left there may be received by someone else than the intended recipient. I also encourage you to be bold in improving the article and fixing errors there. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help Me 1

Do you have a question? Real96 06:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, this is Hurmata. At Governorates_of_Egypt, the text that's supposed to follow (append to) the table instead wraps around it, to its left. What markup language will achieve the desired effect? Hurmata 07:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. Do we carry out this exchange on my talk page or yours? Hurmata 07:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Fixed formatting on the page. And, I would generally respond here, but at the moment, I was busy with other items. Real96 07:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:unfair use of VP

What I saw in VP was an edit with many new internal links many of which made no sense or gave a red link. I did warn the user by using a level one warning, telling them to stop and use the sandbox for testing. Feel free to contact me on my talkpage if you would like me to elaborate further. --ROASTYTOAST 21:56, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tintagel

Hi, I agree with your change to the IPA here [1], but agile doesn't rhyme with Tintagel to British ears! DuncanHill (talk) 02:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hyphenation

Hello Hurmata. Thanks for your improvements at cladistics. I'm just not sure about hyphen changes in general. That could be one of the things like British versus American spelling where the first mover's choice ought to be left undisturbed. (Otherwise there is some risk of silly revert wars; not here, of course, but elsewhere). I'm curious if you can justify any of these particular changes from the language of WP:MOS#Hyphens. Arbitrarily-deep seems OK to me, though you could also write it as two words. EdJohnston (talk) 02:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Habermas

I've put up my summary of The Theory of Communicative Action. I don't know how well it will survive ... Thanks for suggesting it! Szczels (talk) 20:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summaries

If you check my edit contributions you'll see that 99.5% of them have good descriptions. For that particular edit I simply hit Enter too early by mistake. The correct reason would have been per WP:EL. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 13:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jaworzno

Hay, why did you change this page? The last was better than this new version. PawJaw (talk) 10:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
