Serious violation of Wikipedia policy on Biographies of Living PersonHello. The article Moshe Aryeh Friedman is in very serious violation on the policy of living people, as are its attempted deletion log, and talk pages. I put a notice up and reported it, but there are a large number of editors who seem intent on protecting its curent state, and it is already being threatened that the notice will be pulled down. I thought you could check it out. I don't feel comfortable trying to enforce policy on these kind of articles because I fear the editors will attack me on other pages.

Thank you for looking at it. I was referring to the origin of some of the sources. Ynetnews is a partisan source, espescially regarding this sort of person. Plus words like "nutjob" and "wacko" on the talk pages. BLP Policy does not allow that even on talk pages. If you feel it is okay, then I will step back however. Basejumper 06:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC) my editsInstead of reversing all my edits, one by one, why don't you work on the article itself, which is really quite sketchy at the moment and in dire need of information about matters other than politics? --Gilabrand 18:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Re: My recent changes to IsraelHi Tariq, The main issue I have is with the nuclear section, which while much shorter than it was, still seems a bit out of proportion to the rest of the section and other entries in general, though if it were shortened by 1/3 I would probably be happy. As for the rest, while Turkey is an important regional ally, a country like Germany would probably fit the definition better, so a rephrasing would probably be in order. The picture might also benefit from a more mainstream representation. If the other picture doesn't cut it (though this would seem to be about half the military ;-]), I'll try to pull something off of He WP.

When I changed it, that problem went away. Corvus cornix 23:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC) Now that you've reverted, the error is back again. Corvus cornix 23:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC) If I click on this version, it looks fine, but when I click on Current revision, it's wrong. Corvus cornix 23:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Now it seems to be fine, since I'm looking at it from home, but both home and work are IE7. But Capitalistroadster added the July 21 inclusion, so that might be the reason. Corvus cornix 01:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC) Happy Tariq's Day!
IsraelI want to apologize if you felt insulted by the tone of my message. I've been accused of bias myself on these boards, namely at Spanish language. As someone who tries to be neutral, I understand how you can feel personally insulted when someone makes that sort of claim about an article you've worked strongly on. I did not mean to imply that there aren't any neutral editors on the Israel article. I know there are some, and mentioned that in my message though I could have used more tact. It's just frustrating to me when good articles are in the process of being made because there ARE neutral editors trying to negotiate, and then people with their own agenda to push come in and totally skew it. This is not a problem exclusive to the Israel article. If you look at my history, you'll see I've raised similar issues on many other pages. It's more of less my frustration with Wikipedia, because there is so much potential and it is such a revolutionary medium in so many ways, and those trying to compromise and make a good academic article get sidelined by others.

How can we carry on mediating in such conditions ? Just a question. Thanks Taprobanus 13:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC) Edit Warring on Falkland IslandsI would like you to consider removing the violation of WP:3RR from my block log. If you look at the edit history, in the 24 hr period before I was blocked I'd made 3 edits. In the previous period I'd made a couple, decided that what I'd put in was against the consensus and then self-reverted to the previous consensus. The two other users involved were happy with what I'd put. I'd reverted Rebelguys2 edits because they were changing what was the consensus agreed. Please note my comments on the talk page and given that I'd self-reverted I believe the block for breaking WP:3RR was a mistake. Justin A Kuntz 11:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Unindent. Below is the complete summary of all the edits I made over the period, together with all the others. Noting the comments again I would ask who is the primary editor warrior as you put it? Note also that if you add them up Rebelguys2 had also breached WP:3RR and WP:CIVIL. With the exception of one tetchy comment in response to a rather rude posting by Rebelguys2 I was polite and civil throughout. Regards, Justin A Kuntz 13:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC) Rebelguys2 reverts again. No attempt to discuss. When I went to post my explanation I'm blocked. 23:18, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (36,834 bytes) (Reverted edits by Justin A Kuntz (talk) to last version by Rebelguys2) (undo) I revert referring to the cite of the mirror in the discussion page. 2nd revert. 22:39, July 8, 2007 Justin A Kuntz (37,381 bytes) (Revert. Please take this to discussion before editing. Cite of mirror was to indicate that someone removed relevant reference in a previous edit,.) (undo) He reverts again without responding to my request to take it to talk first. I misunderstood the comment about the wiki mirror as I’d included that URL in the talk page. There is also a series of comments in the talk page that are quite aggressive, that didn’t really help and were certainly not constructive or helpful. Language in the edit summary is also less than civil. 22:10, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (36,834 bytes) (rv, please see WP:V and WP:RS. your citation of a wikipedia mirror as a source is completely absurd. do not revert.) (undo) I revert asking politely for this to be taken to talk first as this is a controversial topic. There is a request to discuss any proposed change there first. My first revert following my earlier self-revert. By the way this is nearly 24 hrs later not 12. 21:45, July 8, 2007 Justin A Kuntz (37,381 bytes) (Reverted to previous consensus - presenting both views. Please take this to Discussion before editing controversial topics.) (undo) Rebelguys2 makes a series of edits without discussing proposed changes in the talk page. Red Hat places a note in the talk pages explaining my last revision was a self-revert he agreed with and suggests Rebelguys2 also reverts as the edit overturns the consensus text. John had also responded that it was OK. 20:00, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (36,834 bytes) (uncited weasel wording) (undo) 19:54, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (36,969 bytes) (rm this paragraph -- two [citation needed] tags, one [who?] tag, and a citation of a Wikipedia mirror is just ridiculous) (undo) 19:53, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (37,396 bytes) (Reverted edits by Rebelguys2 (talk) to last version by John) (undo) 19:18, July 8, 2007 Rebelguys2 (36,878 bytes) (neither revision is sourced particularly well, but the new language is simply too weasel worded; i think red hat of pat reverted himself as he was approaching too many reverts) (undo) John adds a citation request. 15:13, July 8, 2007 John (37,396 bytes) (→Name - tags) (undo) Red Hat reverts on realising what I’d done.

This contains the reference that was the original source of the view that the Islanders view the term Malvinas offensive, I tried to put the reference back but screw up by accidentally placing the URL for the mirror instead. I also placed a comment in the talk pages. Note John’s comments agreeing with my change. 01:31, July 8, 2007 Justin A Kuntz (37,381 bytes) (undo) Red Hat reverts pointing me to WP:V, I take the time to read it first. 00:39, July 8, 2007 The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick (36,878 bytes) (please read WP:V before reverting this again. TALK PAGES ARE NOT REFERENCES, and the reference you provided is not suitable.) (undo) I revert pointing out that there is a supporting reference in the talk pages, ref email from FIG official. 2nd revert. 00:37, July 8, 2007 Justin A Kuntz (37,110 bytes) (Revert to prior established fact.

(undo) By now I’ve logged in and added an edit summary, accidentally revert John’s changes as I was adding an edit summary whilst John made changes. That would be 1 revert if you’re being pedantic but it was accidental so I’d suggest it isn’t counted. 22:40, July 7, 2007 Justin A Kuntz (37,110 bytes) (Sorry forgot to log in.

Ralbot 00:38, 4 August 2007 (UTC) Primary/Elementary SchoolHi. I'm afraid I've reverted your edits that redirected Elementary school to Primary school. There was some debate about the use of the different labels in recent months, mainly due to rash actions of a poster (who I believe has since been banned). The general consensus of thse debates was to incorporate two separate articles. Notably, the UK definitions of primary & elementary education are very different, and so not synonymous. I realise the edits were done in good faith, but refer you to discussions at Talk:Primary education amongst others to see the issues raised in the past. Regards Tafkam 21:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I grant you that the discussions at that page are not comprehensive, but there were considerably discussions lost with various moves, redirects, and page-blanking activities that were carried out at the time. I'd also argue that the articles are sufficiently distinctive as to warrant separate pages. Any generalities would be best covered in the Primary education page. The two school entries deal only with each type of school, and while there are marked similarities between what US users call elementary school, and what UK users call primary school, there are equally marked differences between the use of the terms within each country. For example, if you read the UK entry on Elementary school you will see that it refers to a now disfunct category of school which provided full education from 5-14 - very different from the current primary schools that serve only pupils up to 11 before a further 5-7 years of secondary education. As such, the articles cover quite distinct issues and should, in my opinion, remain separate. Tafkam 00:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC) RE:Regions of the Middle EastWell, I am a new user and I may have made an error. And, Afghanistan is not a part of Middle East. It should not be listed in Category:Middle Eastern countries. How can I correct the error? Thank you, RS2007 07:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC) Palestinian territoriesI think Palestinian territories can be included in Category:Regions of the Middle East.

He also place an message on the talk page here at the time explaining this.--padraig 16:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC) See Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-05-20 Lists of Marilyns- this issue has been ruled on before and it is agreed that these flag icons can be used in templates- the templates themselves do not address flag issues. In anycase, protection does not mean that the admin has "sided" with any one user. Astrotrain 16:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Can the admin that has this talk page remove the protection on the Template:United Kingdom constituents and affiliations page. You (most likely inadvertantly) protected a biased version of the page which includes the Ulster banner, a defunct and offensive flag that has not been in official use for over 30 years. I understand that you protected the page to encourage discussion, but no discussion is taking place, mainly becuse the edit war was orgionally started by only two or three zealots who made extensive use of sockpuppets. In any case, the issue has been largely resolved on the Template:United Kingdom regions talk page by another admin. I feel the quicker this issue is corrected, the quicker the biased edit wars involving the Ulster banner will end. Fennessy 13:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
POTDHi there. Just wanted to you to know that User:Zzyzx11 has set up something on Commons (see Commons:User:Zzyzx11/En main page, which is cascade-protected) that no longer necessitates the c-uploading of POTD (as well as TFA and SA) pictures. I think it's maintained by script or bot or something. Regards, howcheng {chat} 17:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC) SuspiciousDoes this edit seem wonky to you?

So, that was figurative and perhaps not appropriate, although it seems to pass on cricket bios. Maybe in the the US, people will think the batter actually hit the pitcher with a stick and he flew 100+ metres. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

C-3POHi! I requested semi-protection of C-3PO a few days back and you declined due to a lack of recent examples. I have still been reverting vandalism on this page for the past few days and I was wondering if you could reconsider? Otherwise could you please let me know what is considered enough activity to justify protection so I know for next time. =) Thanks, SMC89 ( talk • contribs ) 14:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Signpost updated for August 13th, 2007.
