[edit] Oliver Kamm

I appreciate your comments on Oliver Kamm's talk page. Although I have other pressing tasks to attend at the moment, I'll eventually return to the discussion. Also, don't let TJive intimidate you. He's nothing but a bully. Sir Paul 06:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It's ironic, though. I have long regarded Kamm as a pretentious fool who isn't worth a minute of anybody's time trying to read him -- which is why I've been reluctant to get drawn in. Yet I'm still wasting time on him...--NSH001 15:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus' Pacifism getting attacked again by deniers

hi NSH001, just to let you know that Pacifism is getting attacked again by someone who wants equal weight to the notion that the historical Jesus was actually not a pacifist (you know, the typical Jesus "violently" driving out the moneychangers with his Rambo whip). if you want to help regarding that, your help would be appreciated. r b-j 20:28, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know what the TRUTH of it is- if you haven't already visited the page. All that utter CRAP about "the warrior of his POV" is utter tripe. Absolute, utter nonsense. The incident with the money changers is a single, solitary piece of a complete paragraph. One can read the entirety of my edit, which ONLY stands as a secondary balancing of the initial portrayal of Jesus as a pacifist individual. The rest of the edit concerns Jesus direct connections to Jehovah in the Old Testament- as you most likely know, Jehovah and Jesus are both considered the same individual by most Christian denominations, and Jesus himself spoke of how "I and my father are one". I have been attempting to discuss this with Rbj, but he insists on spewing absolute crap like my "edits have no integrity". He's been altering my talk page comments on top of his insults, AND shoving things like "Jesus practiced what he preached"! right into the article, as well as making threats regarding the 3RR to me. I've given up trying to civilly discuss this with someone who absolutely refuses to be civil about the matter. He can sit on the farking article all he wants with his POV in fact, because I really am tired of trying to talk about things with him. I figure you deserve the truth about the matter, however. Cheers. Ex-Nintendo Employee 07:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Basque Portal?

Kaixo, I'm contacting you because you figure in Category:User eu, meaning that you speak some Basque. You must therefore be Basque yourself or have an intense connection with the Basque Country.

I am thinking that maybe was a good idea to create a Portal (or maybe a Wikiproject? or both?) on the Basque theme but I feel such kind of project requires more than just one person.

If you are interested, please comment in my talk page.

Enjoy, --Sugaar 10:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Neil

Hello Neil, thank you for your words of support on Sugaar's talk page. I have to admit I can't place you, I'm afraid - perhaps I never learnt your name in the the London Basque Society, or just forgot it (I'm pretty terrible at names in real life). I'm trying to recreate those days in my mind to conjure up your image - wish my memories won't so hazy! Well, whatever. I do appreciate your gesture - whether or not Sugaar is "convinced". Cheers, Alan

[edit] MEMRI talk page

Hi from the MEMRI talk page. It is nice to see a Quaker making his way over there as it can get contentious (I grew up in the Quaker school and camp system--altho not a Quaker--and miss a good silent meeting) Please see my response [1] to your recent comment [2]. Elizmr 16:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WK

Good evening, Neil Someone has written a line about someone called Wullie Galleon (famous resident?) on the WK article. It looks like nonsense to me and I suggest we delete it. What say you? Kind regards from Avril.rennie 23:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, now I know that the "Merrick" is really the Inverclyde! Apart from that useful little piece of news, I can't see any reason to keep it. Too many non-notables tend to find their way into such sections of geographical articles, and should be deleted. I suspect the same applies to a few others on that list. Kind regards,

--NSH001 23:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the Inverclyde has been refurbished and is now called the Merrick. Thank you for deleting the eponymous Mr Galleon (the Galleon Inn is now derelict, just up the road).

Regarding possibly deleting others, I'd like to get more information about Helen Keller's stay in WK; just how illustrious was Mr Gosman's rugby career?; Jean McCulloch was a name to conjure with when I was a child, but I don't know what golfing titles she won. It should be easy to find out, surely.

Hope you had a good weekend! With kind regards Avril.rennie 01:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shimon Tzabar

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you to adhere to Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy for editors, which it appears you have not followed at Shimon Tzabar. Thank you.

please avoid the implementation of weasel terms as you did here "His disgust". note: there's not much POV in shortening "West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip, and the Syrian Golan Heights" to "territories" - however, the term "occupation" is a politically charged one in contrast with "siezure". If you have proper reasoning for this, please state so on the talk page rather than attempt mass revertion. Jaakobou 12:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

With regards to your comments on User talk:RolandR: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

for starters, you should assume good faith rather than portray a valid warning over unrefrenced weasel terms (i.e. "disgusted") as "attempted bullying", secondly, you can just remove this semi-help request semi-personal attack^[3] and i'll remove this 'uw-npa2' warning and we can forget it ever happened. Jaakobou 20:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at User talk:NSH001; this is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

It is very much frowned upon to remove legitimate warnings by yourself from your userpage without addressing them beforehand. Jaakobou 20:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for leaving a WP:3RR warning on my page, however I have not crossed the 3RR rule (i've also replied on my page).

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:NSH001, you will be blocked from editing.

As i've allready told you, you may not remove/refactor legitimate warnings by yourself from your talkpage without addressing them properly. As this is probably the 4th or 5th time you totally disregard policy (1st delete, and 2nd delete after 'uw-tpv2' notice), I'm no longer assuming good faith and giving you a final notice. Jaakobou 08:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Neil, I wouldn't be too worried at User:Jaakobou's bluster. He constantly threatens and attempts to bully other editors who do not agree with his own POV. He regularly issues totally baseless "final warnings", which he never follows up. As for the suggestion that you are vandalising your own talk page, I suggest you treat this as a bit of comic relief; we all need to laugh occasionally.

I don't think he has yet broken 3RR on the article, though he has come close to doing so. I'm watching, and will certainly report im if he does.

Meanwhile, we should do all we can to ensure that the article is balanced and facual, and does not misrepresent Shimon's own trenchantly expressed opinions. RolandR 08:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

User:RolandR, if you feel I "constantly threaten" and "bully" you, you can report it rather than make the allegation (i.e. personal attack) here. Jaakobou 13:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thought for the Day

One of my favourite movie exchanges, from the sublime Casablanca:

Ugarte (Peter Lorre)"You despise me don't you?" Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) "Well, if I gave you any thought I probably would."

RolandR 23:25, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

RolandR, thanks for that, very funny! This time I've decided to leave Jaakobou's bizarre warnings on my talk page. Casual browsers of this page should note that these warnings were in response to one single (and very reasonable) edit, and will be able to make up their own minds. However, tempting though it is to laugh at Jaakobou, I do hope he can change his behaviour and become a useful contributor to Wikipedia.

--NSH001 10:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sorry, i didn't understand the user talkpage policy...

apparently it's ok to remove warnings from the pages of other users to help them avoid the WP:3RR, sorry, i didn't understand the user talkpage policy... Jaakobou 06:13, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, an apology is always appreciated.

[edit] West Kilbride railway station

I have had another go at describing the train operations through West Kilbride railway station. See what you think, and do you understand what is being put forward. --Stewart 07:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

[edit] SJB Burnell

• Do you think it is right to include the names of her child and grandchild? They might prefer anonimity.
• Should the divorce be mentioned? SJBB refers to in in her interview with the Belfast Telegraph ?(ref 5)
• Would an abstract of Broken for life be a valid paragraph?

[edit] Hi

Hi got your message, apologies, thought it would be good idea to move page to North Ayrshire as alot of the Ayrshire towns have the North Ayrshire title added. I haven't been here long and I am still trying to get used to the way Wikipedia works. And again I REALLY apologise on making the error. EwanMclean2005 21:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. You'll find that those articles that do have ", North Ayrshire" in their name are so named in order to distinguish them from other articles of a similar name. Otherwise there's no need.

[edit] Late reply

NSH001 Back on-line. Yes, I know many other Christian groups patrol the area and document, for later historians, the travesties of justice which are the hallmark of the apartheid regime now governing the Palestinian territories. It also helps that their presence mitigates what the thugs of fundamentalism can get away with, since much of what they do is now recorded on video.Wiki is different, since 'Israel's case' is defended by a congeries of individuals, many of whom are organizationally linked, ranking from stubborn twits, in here not because they can contribute anything, but because they are sufficiently obtuse but highly motivated to cause trouble and wear people down, to highly intelligent operators, in a war of attrition to exhaust the patience of editors trying, mostly. independently, to get the suppressed record registered. Nothing distinctive in that. I have a fair amount of professional experience elsewhere with countries that run monitoring agencies, to twig to each tremor in the national image, and arrange appropriate replies, to recognize how this version of the politics of knowledge functions.

I've thought about this at length and decided I will edit on occasion, without wasting much time reasoning with nitwits, whom the rulebook asks that we treat with 'good faith' when bad faith is the hallmark of all their editing. It was quite an experience, one I happily got involved in, since it gave ample room for one to tease out the structures of abnormal and ideologically-fixated minds. To withdraw wholly would be to subtract my own minor set of fingers from those of many in here who valiantly stand at the dyke wall to stop the field of historical truth being overrun by crap. To withdraw wholly would be disloyal to the stalwarts. I've often been told to pull my finger out, and generally arch my back when told to do so, if I may be permitted a vulgar aside. Being Scottish, are you familiar with the poetry of Robert Garioch, by the way? Best regards Nishidani (talk) 15:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Good to see you back with us, Nishidani. Actually, I am NOT Scottish, though I did grow up there. I consider myself 100% English, born (like Paul Dirac) in Bristol of a Cornish mother; my father was from Bristol (coincidentally, he went to the same school and university as Dirac, but unlike Dirac, had to leave school at 16 for some menial clerking job and a few years later had to fight a World War first in order to get to university). Scotland is a staggeringly beautiful part of the world, but I don't want to go back and live there. I left there at the earliest opportunity, at age 17 after gaining 7 Highers (including a 100% score in maths). I wasn't popular at school there -- they didn't like a weedy middle-class nerd like me, who spoke with an English accent and was always near the top of the class. I do like editing some Scottish articles on Wikipedia as a way of keeping in touch with what is going on there, and reminding me of my youth (it wasn't all bad!).

Anyway, no, sorry I've never heard of Robert Garioch. I think I'm really a maths and science geek - the two subjects I hated most at school were English (especially English literature) and history - but I do like learning and using foreign languages. Strangely, the one author I do like from my school days is Robert Burns - he was given equal status to Shakespeare, and I can still recite him in a genuine Ayrshire accent.

Your new approach to editing sounds very sensible, but I do think WP:AGF is very useful. Firstly on practical grounds, it makes you seem more reasonable, prevents you saying things you may regret later, and overall I think makes you more persuasive. Morally, too, it makes sense, as it demonstrates respect for your interlocutor and helps force him/her to re-think his/her position.

--NSH001 (talk) 18:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

'I do think WP:AGF is very useful.'

Here I beg to differ. In several countries I have lived in, to assume good faith is to misread, often with disastrous consequences, what is actually going on. The lesson? Behave in good faith, decently, however much bad faith you encounter. Don't expect it from others: don't be provoked needlessly by it. As to 'seeming reasonable', it's a fine art, exquisitely honed, and flourished all over the media, and in our respectable world. I have a Platonic bias on this, and prefer to strive for reasonableness, rather than 'save the appearances' (sozein ta phainomena) or is that, more properly, keep up appearances. I can't help but read some of the most sweetly (seemingly) reasonable voices in here, (not only), as wholly in bad faith - the Iago syndrome. Never maker a fuss about it though. What one notes in the world is often best left in the privacy of one's personal perceptions. Regards Nishidani (talk) 10:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WARNING

As per NPOV policy, blatant bias is not allowed on wikipedia. Until the section can be rewritten in an unbiased manner, blatant racist propaganda as it is cannot be allowed to remain. I am disgusted with the article in general in that it completely tries to hide the culpability of Arab states who stole the Palestinian land and then pushed the Palestinians into "refugee camps", but that particular section was so biased and horrid as to need removing immediately. The rest of the article needs a 100% reworking as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 23:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I am also quite disturbed in checking the authors who have "contributed" (and yes I use quotes as what many have given is nothing short of genocidal propaganda the level of Herr Goebbels) to the article. In particular the number of terrorist group supporters like Hezbollah who are pushing blatant propaganda solely tilted against the very people they hope to murder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 23:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Not surprisingly, this user has now been blocked indefinitely, and even had his talk and user pages protected for a week (a heavier penalty than I would have requested) --NSH001 (talk) 18:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Please avoid using WP:AIV to report edit conflicts, as you did here. Also, be mindful of violating WP:3RR; please try to work this matter out with the other editors before making any further edits. Thank you, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 23:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm aware of 1948remember's actions; however, the problem here is that there is too much point of view being applied by both sides. While I am not involved in the debate, I'd advise that you guys try to work it out on the talk page of articles. I've talked to the user; if he continues to edit war over the article, report him to WP:AN3. However, please try to resolve it with him first. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 00:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

MoP, this was obvious vandalism, not a content dispute. First 1948R blanks a large section of the article, and is immediately (and correctly) reverted by ClueBot. He then repeats this action an additional four times, without answering or engaging with Tiamut's sensible reply to him on the article talk page, other than (later) posting a personal attack on her. He then proceeds to insert unsourced and irrelevant material into the lead without heeding Tiamut's polite edit-summary request to discuss his problems on the article's talk page, and edit-wars (blatantly violating 3RR) to keep reinserting his material. In the meantime, he posts spurious reports to WP:AIV (surprisingly quickly for a "new" user - is he a sockpuppet?). (Note that I delayed reporting him to AIV until he had received several warnings for his vandalism.)

You're right, of course, that it is preferable to discuss matters on the talk page, but 1948R showed no sign of doing so in a sensible manner, preferring to quickly revert when others restored the consensus version. If I get some time, I will try and discuss with him/her in a thoughtful and considered manner tomorrow, but it's already too late now, and I need to go to bed. Regards,

--NSH001 (talk) 01:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for being willing to go about this the right way. Also, he's been quiet for a few hours now, so hopefully you guys will be able to discuss easily. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah well, now I can't even discuss it on his talk page, as it's been protected. Hmmm... --NSH001 (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Typo redirect (AIMS)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on (AIMS), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because (AIMS) is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting (AIMS), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 13:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I did read your comments but I'm not sure I agree with them. If the organization is actually referred to as "(AIMS)" with brackets around the acronym at all times, that would be a good reason to keep it - according to their website it isn't: "AIMS is a member based organization of more than 250 of the world’s leading distance races, from over 80 countries." If this is the case, shouldn't "(AIMS)" have redirected to the AIMS disambiguation page rather than Association of International Marathons and Distance Races? It seems to only have done so because you moved it from what you yourself referred to as an undesirable title. I know "redirects are cheap", but this is a housekeeping issue which in the unlikely case that someone does type an acronym with brackets, they will see the proper disambiguation page as the first search result rather than being redirected to the article about one particular organization. --Canley (talk) 23:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3rr warning

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on James Miller (filmmaker). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --John (talk) 19:38, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That's what came to mind, but 'trooper' has military overtones! Sorry. Thanks indeed.

Nishidani (talk) 19:06, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, again. So your dad was in Burma, not with Orde Wingate, I suppose (Palestine connections). I've read quite a bit about that war and indeed once did a lengthy study of Japanese war literature on it. Probably then your father knew Louis Allen, who, aside from fighting there, wrote a brilliant account of the Battle of Sittung?(I usually think in terms of the 6-links-to-any-person-in-the-world theorum) I met him him Durham in 1988. As to war, I chose to work in Israel because the air was thick with news that war would break out, and having been expelled from a public school for refusing cadet service over the Vietnamese war, and then subsequently charged (with a five year sentence) for refusing to put my name down in the conscription lottery, I wished to test my pacifism (not of an absolute variety). When asked where I would like to work I told the Jerusalem office 'any kittbutz near the most dangerous zone!' Nothing happened of course, other than getting a chance to sneak past military barriers to walk through the city of Gaza, where I was warned I would probably be shot, and instead spent a nice afternoon in Palestinian sweet and coffee shops, speaking French in deference to possible dislike of English or American-accented foreigners. Best regards then.(ps. even my own sister, (a wonderful cook) sought me out to ask me how to cook Cornish pasties. I was the only one to memorize our mother's recipe)Nishidani (talk) 22:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to personally thank you, NSH001, for your support in my recent RfB. I am deeply grateful and appreciative of your comments about my integrity and adherence to policy, even though we are often on opposing sides of discussions, and humbled by the fortitude and integrity that you demonstrated by posting that. That was one of the most meaningful comments I have received during this process, and I only hope to be able to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB.

In your debt again, mate. Reminds me of the days centuries ago when folks spoke about my guardian angel. One needs them round here, believe it (or them) or not! Thanks again.Nishidani (talk) 19:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you so much

Very thoughtful and kind of you. I hope your trip was a good one. I very much admire that young lady. She's one of those rare souls whose actions matched her beliefs and who paid the ultimate price for that honesty and commitment. If I were in charge of any organized religious group, I would have declared her a saint by now, though I'm quite sure that history will recall her in similar terms in the not-so-distant future. Thanks again. Tiamut^talk 22:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I share your hope, and though the outlook seems quite dark some days, I'm almost optimistic that in the age of communication in which we live, it won't have to come to that before people wake up. Unfortunately, seeing what I happened in Iraq (how millions protested around the world against the war before it even started, but to no avail) if it definnitely possible that things will continue to get worse better they get better. We all do what little we can. It's good to know you buy that soap (so do I, in the local souq in Nazareth - when I can find it, and if not there are still some places in Acre that sell it too). Keep up your own great work. Tiamut^talk 17:44, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:50, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the free lesson...

...in adding a references section. I think I got it now. :) Tophtucker (talk) 01:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
