[edit] Rhodesian / South African articles

I think you should very seriously consider your own point-of-view before quickly moving to overwrite others' work. Wikipedia is not a place for the rewriting of history to a particular bent; it is for a neutral, open version of it. In the Rhodesian Bush War article, the terms "guerilla fighter" and "nationalists" are compromises between more extreme terms such as "terrorist" and "freedom fighter". Calling police work "oppressive" is also decidedly to your own point-of-view. michael talk 01:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


"Wikipedia is not a place for the rewriting of history to a particular bent"

correct. nevertheless, the Rhodesian Bush War-article is composed the way it is. --Severino 01:21, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For vandalism related to Hrant Dink

Thanks Severino for considering me. But, I suppose, it would be better if you refer to this page for vandalism and blocking issues. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 06:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thanks, shyam! --Severino 12:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Districts of Israel

Hello Severino! I have noticed that you keep making edits to Talk:Districts of Israel without proposing any changes to the article. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and a talk page is not a discussion forum. Thanks, Ynhockey (Talk) 19:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

the only changes i made was to clarify to whom i addressed in the posting and to answer to somebody who derived political claims from a religious book. --Severino (talk) 21:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
