[edit] User:Jaakobou/Battle of Jenin

A second fork of battle of Jenin in the userspace of one user. As with User:Jaakobou/Temp2 there are no non-bot edits for months, the article is not locked and has changed since this copy was taken, and the encyclopaedic purpose of maintaining forks from point-in-time versions of contentious articles is far from clear.

• • Comment, page is in the middle of a re-work which includes writing of side articles. Articles regarding side events have put this one on hold, but this is not a POV fork and certainly not a "second" povfork. The encyclopedic purpose of keeping this page was to be able to work in a more neutral and better phrased sections without the months of fighting with disruptive editors such as PalestineRememebered and a few anon. clones/his friends, who for months tried to persuade that the Palestinian claims of a massacre (widely rejected by the international community) were true. I'm currently involved in a similar (7 month long!) debate with Nickhh and Eleland on Saeb Erekat, and therefore, didn't have the time to continue the needed changes on the article so that more sections of it can be introduced into the wiki main space. I have however, already introduced (quite successfully) several sections of this page, and there's more work to be done. In short, this page is most certainly needed and has many content related advancements that were not yet implemented in the main space.

Jaakobu, "in the middle" is scarcely plausible when you had two copies and had not edited either for months. Your last edit to this fork was 4 October, 2007 - that is not "in the middle" by any reasonable definition. Guy (Help!) 14:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I had one copy of an in progress article rewrite and one copy of a 'other controversies' section which was edit warred out. No fork intentions, please check the explanation and disclaimer/suggestion at the bottom of this page. Jaakobou^{Chalk Talk} 02:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Allow me to explain again.
    I had to stop work on the page once a few problems occurred on other Israeli-Palestinian articles. I've also inserted small parts of the text into the main-space and started writing two new articles to support the advancements made on the text. However, I've had to deal with problems created by PalestineRememebered (talk · contribs) and a few of his friends, which led to this material being placed on hold and to ANI's, an ARBCOM and a few MEDCABS. If you want, we can place a disclaimer at the top that this is a personal user's in-progress work and hopefully/probably, parts of the material will be later added into the main-space.
    It would be a huge hassle to work on this complicated article from a text file and I request to keep my work on the text on site; to remind, portions of it were already admitted into the main article, but I've stumbled into a number of conflicts.
    So, would placing a disclaimer at the top work for you? Jaakobou^{Chalk Talk} 02:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep We don't have idle timers on sandbox pages. I've had some stuff sit around in mine for months at a time before I got enough time to work on them again. -- Ned Scott 03:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Ned Scott and especially after Jaapkobou added the "NOTICE" at the top of the page. --GHcool (talk) 16:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
