[edit] Re: Rolling Stone album reviews

Note that I've responded to a message you left at User talk:Pcg13#Rolling Stone album reviews. --PEJL 00:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I guess so. But the way it is now, isn't it still incorrect per WP:ALBUM ? Both the RS link and the Entertainment Weekly one should have something like "(favorable)" or "(mixed)" for a rview, rather than just a link? Tarc 14:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Sure, that would be better, but "incorrect" is a bit strong. Quoting from WP:ALBUM#Professional reviews: "If you cannot summarize the review, just leave this second bit blank." --PEJL 15:52, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Alrighty. Thanks. Tarc 17:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Al-Husseyni

Hello Tarc,
For your information : scholars share the events between nov47 and apr49 into 2 main phases :

  • a civil war (during the last 6 months of the british mandate of Palestine)
  • the 1st arab-israeli war (after May15).

Our friend Haj amin participated mainly to the 1st phase because on 15 may, his forces had been defeated on all fronts and when they took part the conflit, the arab more often fought him (politically) and never supported him (military).
To be more precise, his only noticeable participation after May15 concerns the creation of the government for all Palestine where he became a puppet of Egyptians...
As a consequence, it is better to use the "accurate wordings" when possible and talk about :

Do you mind I correct the Al-Husseini article taking this into account ? Alithien 10:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.
Sorry. I see now the modifications are due to Zeq.
Nevertheless, your mind is welcome. Maybe you can be a mediator with Zeq.
Alithien 12:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I dunno, I was looking more at the layout rather than the content with that edit. Will check later. Tarc 14:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Isarig and his sockpuppets

I'd have to say that it probably isn't very proper to go around like this and put this note on article talk pages. Having said that, I probably would not have known that all that was going if I hadn't seen Avi's revert. Just went over to chime in, so it was good to see in that sense. But in my opinion, you should probably not do this, and you should revert that msg you just restored. Its just going to cause more trouble than its worth. Tarc 21:54, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm baffled that this should be a problem. I'm constantly being reminded (often in aggressive, accusatory fashions) of all the major problems that have been put in my way (despite being largely cleared of most of them). I've even been accused of taking a "mentor" who was a sock-puppet - how outrageous is that?
Whereas telling people that a sockpuppet has been operating in an article they (presumably) care about seems a pretty basic courtesy. Also reminds people that integrity does count, sockpuppetry is punishable.
I don't need to revert anything I've done, another user has wiki-stalked me and done it already ... maybe they feel differently towards sockpuppets from what I do. PalestineRemembered 22:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I think you're missing the point; its good that you are letting people know, but not good in the way its being done. As to what the "good way" is, I don't know, contacting select people via their personal talk pages maybe? I really don't think article talk pages are the best avenue to take. As for stalking...I doubt Avi is doing that. Lots of us have a lot of Middle Eastern pages on watchlists; that's how I knew about all this is the first place, from watching Hamas.
So, seriously, my advice is to relax. It looks like Isarig will be sanctioned for his boorish behavior finally. Between that and the Israeli apartheid ArbCom, there's hope yet that some of the people who have been doing serious harm to the Wikipedia lately might get reprimanded for real.

Who do you think you are? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosc (talk • contribs) 18:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, leaving aside the weighty metaphysical considerations of such a question, the simple answer is that I am one of many who is tired of seeing you vandalizing Tokyo and other related pages. If you wish to make changes to a heavy-use template, then the smart move would be to discuss the changes you would like to make, via the template and/or article talk pages. Tarc 19:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
I am an anon who waltzed into this after seeing the "block" thing in the edit comment. I could care less about Cosc's vandalism, but I do care about improvement of templates, so there. 68.36.214.143 19:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Handling non-AGF edits

Ok, perhaps I shouldn't worry about your language. However, regarding Zeq, it seems to me that the Talk page has limited value in pursuing your concerns. Personally, I think it's hard to tell whether somebody is acting in bad faith, and it's not always convincing to generalize from past behavior. My advice is to try to assume good faith and insist on justifications etc. Of course, I realize you have your own approach to stuff here (we've disagreed elsewhere), but I do think you might consider pursuing user-conduct issues elsewhere. Thanks, Tarc. Take care, HG | Talk 15:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The thing is, assume good faith is consistently used across the Wikipedia as a shield for bad behavior. A lot of people like to cite it in their self-defense, but they tend to pass over the "Unless there is strong evidence to the contrary..." line. As far as I'm concerned, there is strong evidence.
As for the talk page, I realize that getting into it there is counter-productive. But people like that are so god-damned frustrating. The "recent calm" touched on in the ArbCom talk page will be gone in a heartbeat if this style of "I can revert, but you must explain yours" mentality rears its head. Again. Tarc 17:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I was thinking about the irony betw the ArbCom talk and the recent intensity. HG | Talk 18:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blockade a page

Do you know how we can ask a page to be blocked Alithien 18:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean protected? WP:RPP. From what I've seen in the past though, they really take a dim view of requests coming from those that are actively involved in the dispute, so IMO I would not recommend making such a request. Let it come from a 3rd party.
I probably should not have bothered with the last one, but after reading WP:LEAD and seeing though it and its talk pages that Zeq is pretty much doing what they advise against, leaving that crap in there was just hard to stomach. Tarc 18:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problems at Hezbollah page

Hi Tarc,

I tried to edit in some information about assassination of Hezbollah leaders in that page, but I'm running into strong opposition there. I think that a legitimate discussion could be on where and how to mention it. But what is not legitimate is to leave this information out altogether. I mean how can one have a good article on any organization without mentioning the fact that the leader of that organization was assassinated?

Anyway, I have discussed this in the talk page today, but I'm too busy with other things for the next few days. Perhaps you can take a look there. I'm not interested in starting a revert war, it is more imnportant to settle such issues via discussions. Count Iblis 17:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
